Microchip Technology 24AA16 16K 1.8V I2C Serial EEPROM Datasheet
The Microchip Technology 24AA16 is a 16K bit Electrically Erasable PROM organized as eight blocks of 256 bytes. It features a 2-wire serial interface compatible with the I2C protocol and operates on a single supply voltage down to 1.8V. The device includes Schmitt trigger inputs for noise suppression and output slope control to eliminate ground bounce.

How many bytes can be written in a single page‑write operation?
A page‑write can store up to 16 bytes before a stop condition is required.
How is write protection enabled on the 24AA16/24LC16B?
Connecting the WP pin to Vcc disables programming and makes the entire memory write‑protected, effectively turning the device into a serial ROM.
