The AT24C16C-SSHM-T is an EEPROM, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, device manufactured by Microchip. It can store up to 16 kilobytes of data and is capable of being programmed and erased in-circuit via a two wire serial interface, like I2C. It operates on a supply voltage of 1.7V and is organized as 2K x 8 bits for each byte of data storage. The device has built-in features for detection and correction of multi-bit errors as well as write protection functions for 64-byte segments and the entire memory. It also offers 1 MHz operation speeds for fast data storage and retrieval.
