Component for 24FC04

[DirkB]

Hello,

is a component for 24FC04 EEProm available

thank you

Hi Dirk,
I think that the 24C16 component should work with a 24C04,
as long as you set the A1 and A2 pins low
(or add a matching offset to the Address value, A2 A1 would be equivalent to Address bits 10 and 9 of the 24C16)

Hello Leigh,

thank you for your quik reply.are you sure?
The 24FC04 is a 16 bit eeprom. how can i
store 16 bit word to the 24C16?

thank you

Can you post a datasheet for the device you are looking at?

Hello Leigh,

here the datasheet for the device.

Hi Dirk,
Thanks, that confirms what I thought.
In fact in that datasheet the A address pins are not connected, so no need to worry about them.
So, what do you mean by 16 bit? The 24C16 is the same interface as 24C04, but just has more memory/pages.
If you use the 24C16 component you just need to provide an address (between 0 and 0x1FF) and read or write the byte.
Regards,
Leigh

Hello Ligh,

i see, i was wrong. I mean you can write 2 pages 8 bit at once.
How can i write an 16 bit word into a 8 bit eeprom?

thank you

Hi Dirk,

How can i write an 16 bit word into a 8 bit eeprom?

You simply split the 16-bit value up into two 8-bit values.

LSB = 16bitVar
MSB = 16bitVar >> 8

To recombine after reading from the EEPROM you would simply do this.

16bitVar = LSB + ( MSB << 8 )

Hi Ben,

thank you. quick work.
