Additional Details:

The TC5516AP typically comes in a DIP (Dual In-line Package) format, which allows for easy insertion into standard breadboards and sockets. It operates over a standard temperature range. The standby power consumption is significantly lower than its active power consumption, further contributing to its suitability for low-power applications. Detailed electrical characteristics including access times, supply current, and input/output voltage levels are available in the official Toshiba datasheet.
