24LC16 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.
24LC16 is a Microchip Technology order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 10 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
IC EEPROM 16KBIT I2C 8SOIC Other listed variants describe: IC EEPROM 16KBIT I2C 400KHZ 8DFN; IC EEPROM 16KBIT I2C 8MSOP.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm), 8-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width).
Suffix examples in this family: B-I/SN, BT-E/MC, BT-E/MS, BT-E/OT, BT-I/MNY, BT-I/OT, BT-I/SN, B-E/P. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Columns that actually vary on this page: Package Type. If two rows match on MPN prefix but differ there, they are not interchangeable for production.
Example MPNs: 24LC16B-I/SN, 24LC16BT-E/MC, 24LC16BT-E/MS, 24LC16BT-E/OT, 24LC16BT-I/MNY, 24LC16BT-I/OT.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm), 8-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width)Land pattern and thermal pad differ between these packages — run a quick footprint check before you swap variants.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 10 distinct suffix patternsExamples: B-I/SN, BT-E/MC, BT-E/MS, BT-E/OT, BT-I/MNY (+5 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Microcontrollers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on 24LC16 map to package, grade, and reel options.
24LC16 uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: B-I/SN, BT-E/MC, BT-E/MS, BT-E/OT, BT-I/MNY, BT-I/OT, BT-I/SN, B-E/P, B-E/ST, BT-E/ST.
What changes between rows: Package Type. Sort the table by these columns when narrowing from base number to a single MPN.
Full MPN examples: 24LC16B-I/SN, 24LC16BT-E/MC, 24LC16BT-E/MS, 24LC16BT-E/OT, 24LC16BT-I/MNY.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right 24LC16 Microcontrollers
Match the footprint first
Packages here: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm), 8-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width). Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For 24LC16, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "24LC16" — include the full suffix (e.g. B-I/SN, BT-E/MC, BT-E/MS). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
