16 Kbit I²C EEPROM in 8-SOIC — 5 V only, 100 kHz bus
The 24C16/SL: Access time is 3.5 µs, and the write cycle time for a word or page is 1 ms typical. The 16 Kbit density suits calibration data, serial numbers, or small lookup tables that need non-volatile storage on a 5 V bus.
Package and board-fit — 8-SOIC with 1.27 mm pitch
The supplier device package is 8-SOIC — same footprint as the industry-standard 150-mil SOIC-8. Surface-mount assembly with no exposed thermal pad; the narrow body fits tight layouts near the microcontroller.
It is suited for indoor equipment, consumer electronics, and office automation where the board stays above freezing. For industrial or automotive environments requiring -40°C to +85°C, look at the 24AA or 24LC series from the same family.
