16 Kbit I²C EEPROM with 1 MHz bus — what the 450 ns access time means for the bus
The Microchip AT24C16D-MAHM-E is a 16 Kbit serial EEPROM organized as 2K x 8 bits, accessed through an I²C interface that runs at 1 MHz — the full fast-mode ceiling. The 5 ms page write cycle means the bus is tied up for that duration unless the host uses the acknowledge-polling method to detect completion.
