Overview pf EEPROM
Definition
What is EEPROM memory?
It is short for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, which can also be written as E2PROM.
But it allows erasing and reprogramming individual bytes.
The EEPROM is organized as a floating gate transistor array.
EEPROM can be programmed and erased in-circuit by applying special programming signals.
The erasure and reprogramming life of EEPROM is limited, and currently reaches one million operations in modern EEPROM.
In an EEPROM that is frequently reprogrammed, the life of the EEPROM is an important design consideration.
Today, EEPROM is used in embedded microcontrollers and standard EEPROM products.
History
Electrical Interface
EEPROM devices adopt serial or parallel interfaces for data input/output.
Serial Bus Devices
Common serial interfaces are SPI, I2C, Microwire, UNI/O, and 1-Wire.
They use 1 to 4 gear pins and allow devices to use 8-pin or fewer packages.
A typical EEPROM serial protocol includes three phases: OP-code Phase, Address Phase, and Data Phase.
Each EEPROM gear usually has its own set of OP-Code instructions, which map to different functions.
Most devices have chip select and write protection pins.
Some microcontrollers also have integrated parallel EEPROM.
