16 Kbit I²C EEPROM in a compact exposed-pad package
The STMicroelectronics M24C16-RMB6TG is a 16 Kbit serial EEPROM with an I²C interface, organized as 2K x 8 bits. It clocks at 400 kHz on the bus and delivers a 900 ns access time, with a write cycle time of 5 ms per word or page. Typical applications include configuration storage, calibration parameters, device identity, and small data logging in industrial sensors, telecom modules, and portable instrumentation where non-volatile retention is needed without a battery.
The M24C16-RMB6TG is listed as obsolete. For new designs or volume production, a direct drop-in replacement should be identified.
Supply range and bus timing
The 5 ms page write time means a full 16-byte page write completes in 5 ms, typical for this density class.
