The STMicroelectronics M24C16-RMC6TG is a 16 Kbit serial EEPROM with an I²C interface, organized as 2 K x 8 bits.
Supply voltage and temperature grade
The 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range means this part works in both low-voltage battery gear and traditional 5 V logic without a level shifter — one less component on the BOM. Not rated for under-hood or downhole, but fine for the vast majority of industrial and commercial environments.
Write cycle and endurance
For a 16 Kbit device, that is fast enough for occasional parameter updates but not for streaming data — use it for configuration storage, not a log buffer. The EEPROM technology is non-volatile, so data survives power loss without a backup battery.
