24LC16BH-E/P EEPROM Memory IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 24LC16BH-E/P is a 16Kbit EEPROM memory integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for non-volatile data storage applications requiring I2C serial communication. This device operates at 400 kHz clock frequency with a 900 ns access time, supporting supply voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component is housed in an 8-PDIP through-hole package and maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when electrical parameters, memory specifications, interface protocols, and physical packaging remain identical to the main part number.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 24LC16BH-E/P is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories: memory capacity (16Kbit), memory organization (2K x 8 bits), serial communication protocol (I2C at 400 kHz), access timing (900 ns), write cycle duration (5ms), supply voltage tolerance (2.5V to 5.5V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and physical package configuration (8-PDIP through-hole). Compliance certifications including RoHS3 status must also align. Parts meeting these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 24LC16B-E/P qualifies as a direct parametric equivalent to the 24LC16BH-E/P based on complete alignment of electrical specifications, memory architecture, interface protocol, and physical packaging. Both components are manufactured by Microchip Technology, maintain Active product status, and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts may be determined by inventory availability and supplier device package verification status. The 24LC16B-E/P carries verified programmability status through DiGi-Electronics, while the 24LC16BH-E/P status remains unverified. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 16Kbit I2C EEPROM functionality in through-hole 8-DIP configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute for the 24LC16BH-E/P?

A: A valid substitute must match all electrical parameters including memory size (16Kbit), memory organization (2K x 8), I2C interface at 400 kHz, 900 ns access time, 5ms write cycle time, 2.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range, -40°C to 125°C operating temperature, and physical package specification (8-DIP through-hole). Compliance certifications must also align.

Q: Are the 24LC16BH-E/P and 24LC16B-E/P pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both components use the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package with identical pinout configuration, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Q: Can I use the 24LC16B-E/P in place of the 24LC16BH-E/P in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 24LC16B-E/P is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, memory capacity, interface protocol, and package configuration. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 24LC16BH-E/P and 24LC16B-E/P?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is the DiGi-Electronics programmability verification status: the 24LC16B-E/P carries verified status while the 24LC16BH-E/P status is unverified.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 24LC16BH-E/P and 24LC16B-E/P are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental regulatory requirements.
