24LC16BT-I from Microchip, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | unconnected | Not connected internally on the 24XX16 (the 16 Kbit density uses the address bits as block-select bits inside the control byte instead of external address pins). May be left floating or tied to VSS or VCC. |
| 2 | A1 | unconnected | Not connected internally on the 24XX16. May be left floating or tied to VSS or VCC. |
| 3 | A2 | unconnected | Not connected internally on the 24XX16. May be left floating or tied to VSS or VCC. |
| 4 | VSS | power_in | Ground reference for the device (0 V). |
| 5 | SDA | bidirectional | Serial Address/Data I/O for the I2C interface. Open-drain output; requires an external pull-up to VCC (typically 10 kOhm at 100 kHz, 2 kOhm at 400 kHz). Schmitt-trigger input; VIH >= 0.7VCC, VIL <= 0.3VCC; VOL <= 0.4 V at IOL = 3 mA. |
| 6 | SCL | input | I2C serial clock input used to synchronize data transfer to and from the device. Schmitt-trigger input; supports 100 kHz and 400 kHz clock rates (400 kHz requires VCC >= 2.5V on the 24AA16). |
| 7 | WP | input | Write-Protect input. Tie to VSS to enable normal read/write operation across the full 000-7FF array; tie to VCC to write-protect the entire memory (read operations are unaffected). Must not be left floating. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply. +1.7V to 5.5V for 24AA16, +2.5V to 5.5V for 24LC16B. Typical operating current 1 mA (write) / 0.01 mA (read), standby ~1 uA. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 453 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
