Overview
The EEPROM 8 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains a highly reliable nonvolatile memory solution. This board features the CAV24C512, a 512-Kb electrically erasable programmable memory with enhanced hardware write protection for entire memory from ON Semiconductor. Internally organized as 65,536 words of 8 bits each, the CAV24C512 comes up with the compatible I2C serial interface. The CAV24C512 combines unprecedented data storage with excellent energy efficiency. It lasts one million full-memory read/write/erase cycles with more than 100 years of data retention. This Click board™ is suitable for consumer and industrial applications where dependable nonvolatile memory storage is essential.
The EEPROM 8 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
How Does The EEPROM 8 Click Board™ Work?
The EEPROM 8 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the CAV24C512, a 512-Kb EEPROM with an I2C interface and Write Protection Mode from ON Semiconductor. The CAV24C512 is organized as 65,536 words of 8 bits each and benefits from a wide power supply range and 100 years of data retention combining their unprecedented data storage with excellent energy efficiency. It is highly reliable, lasting one million full-memory read/write/erase cycles. On-chip Error Correction Code (ECC) makes this Click board™ suitable for high-reliability applications where dependable nonvolatile memory storage is essential.
The EEPROM 8 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface that supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and Fast-Plus (1MHz) modes of operation. The CAV24C512 has a 7-bit slave address with the first five MSBs fixed to 1010. The address pins A0, A1, and A2, are programmed by the user and determine the value of the last three LSBs of the slave address, which can be selected by positioning onboard SMD jumpers labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 or 1.
On the other side, the configurable Write Protection function, labelled as WP routed to the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, allows the user to freeze the entire memory area, thus protecting it from Write instructions.
The EEPROM 8 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the EEPROM 8 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the EEPROM 8 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
eeprom8_write_pageThis function writes up to 128 bytes of data starting from the selected register. -
eeprom8_read_random_byteThis function reads one byte data from the desired register. -
eeprom8_read_sequentialThis function reads the desired number of bytes starting from the selected register.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the EEPROM 8 Click Board™ by writing specified data to the memory and reading it back.
void application_task ( void )
{
// Reset variables
cnt = 0;
memset( test_read_buffer, 0, sizeof ( test_read_buffer ) );
addr_offset = TEST_MEM_LOCATION;
// Initiate first pass
// filling the eeprom addresses with zeros
if( EEPROM8_ERROR == run_first_pass( &eeprom8, test_write_buffer, test_read_buffer ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " First Pass Failed " );
}
// Initiate second pass
// filling the eeprom addresses with values following arithmetic sequence with difference of 1
if( EEPROM8_ERROR == run_second_pass( &eeprom8, test_write_buffer, test_read_buffer ) )
