What is an EEPROM?

EEPROM stands for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. It is a non-vola

device, that is, stored information is retained when the power is removed. EEPROM genera

acting as EPROM (UV erasable programming ROM).

However an EEPROM need not be taken out of the computer or electronic device of whic

new program or information or data needs to be written on it. Particular customizing migh

The client/user can change the quality of certain units without expecting to erase the

different cells. Consequently, areas of data might be erased and replaced without ex

There are many types of EEPROM devices available, but one of the most commonly used

is 24CXX series devices such as 24C02, 24C04, 24C08 and etc. These all are have same

Automotive devices available
Two-wire serial interface (Two wires are used to read and write data into it)
Bidirectional data transfer protocol
Write protect pin for hardware data protection
8-byte page (1K, 2K), 16-byte page (4K, 8K, 16K) write modes
Partial age writes allowed
Self-timed write cycle

Principle of operation of EEPROM

The EEPROM uses the principle same as that of the UV-EPROM. The electrons which

There are two distinct EEPROM families: serial and parallel access. The serial access rep

Parallel EEPROM:

1. Parallel devices are available in higher densities more then 256bits and are generally
2. Highly Reliable and these are mostly used for military market.
3. They are pin compatible with EPROMs and flash memory devices.

Parallel EEPROM Devices

Serial EEPROM:

1.   Serial EEPROMs are less dense (typically from 256 bit to 256Kbit) and are slower tha
devices.
2.  They are much cheaper and used in more “commodity” applications.

• Operation frequency: 2.0 MHz (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V)

• Sequential read capable

• Function to protect against write due to erroneous instruction recognition

• Endurance: 106

 Cycles / word*1 (Ta = +85°C)

• Data retention: 100 years (Ta = +25°C)

20 years (Ta = +85°C)

• Memory capacity: S-93C46B 1 K-bit

 S-93C56B 2 K-bit

 S-93C66B 4 K-bit

• Initial shipment data: FFFFh

• Lead-free, Sn 100%, halogen-free*2

Memory Organization of EEPROM

AT24C02 EEPROM: 24C02 are internally organized with 32 pages of 8 bytes each, the 2

data word address for random word addressing.

AT24C04 EEPROM: 24C04 are internally organized with 32 pages of 16 bytes each; the

data word address for random word addressing.

AT24C08 EEPROM: 24C08 are internally organized with 64 pages of 16 bytes each, the 8

data word address for random word addressing.

Applications of EEPROM

EEPROMs are used in many applications such as telecom, consumer, automoti

applications. The other applications are include:

1. The reprogrammable calibration data for test equipment

2. Data storage from a learn function as in a remote control transmitter.

AT24C02 EEPROM:

The AT24C02 is an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) c

organized with 32 pages of 8 bytes each; it has 2Kbits of memory size. It is most commo

it comes with 8-pin DIP, shown in figure:

Pin 1-3: A0, A1, A2 are the address inputs of chip, in this A1 and A2 are for addressing a

connection) pin. The eight 2K devices may be addressed on a single bus system.

Pin 4: Ground (GND).

Pin 5: It is a serial data pin; it is bi-directional for serial data transfer.

Pin 6: It is serial clock input, provides the positive clock signals.

Pin 7:  It is write protect pin, provides the hardware data protection. It allows read/writ

connected to ground pin.

Pin 8: Power supply.
