7.1 Byte Write
The AT24C16C supports the writing of a single 8-bit byte. Selecting a data word in the AT24C16C requires an 11-bit word address.
Upon receipt of the proper device address and word address bytes, the EEPROM will send an Acknowledge. The device will then be ready to receive the 8-bit data word. After receiving the 8‑bit data word, the EEPROM will respond with an ACK. The addressing device, such as a bus host, must then terminate the write operation with a Stop condition. At this point, the EEPROM will enter an internally self-timed write cycle, which will be completed within tWR, while the data word is being programmed into the nonvolatile EEPROM. All inputs are disabled during this write cycle, and the EEPROM will not respond until the write is complete.
