If interested.... Code for Multiple 24LC256
PostPosted: Mon May 03, 2004 9:29 am     Reply with quote

I have a box that uses 8 24LC256 external eeproms. I modified 24256.c to allow for addressing all 8 chips. My board has the address line (A0,A1,A2) of the eeproms tied to +5 or ground to create a different address for each chip. With this code you can put up to 8 eeproms on the same board and get 32K bytes x 8 chips = 256K bytes of memory.

Code:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////   Library for Multiple 24LC256 serial EEPROMs                     ////
////                                                                   ////
////   init_ext_eeprom();    Call before the other functions are used  ////
////                                                                   ////
////   write_ext_eeprom(c, a, d);  Write the byte d to the address a   ////
////                               using chip c                        ////
////                                                                   ////
////   d = read_ext_eeprom(c, a);   Read the byte d from the address a ////
////                                using chip c                       ////
////                                                                   ////
////   c = chip address: Pins a0, a1, a2 of chip define address for    ////
////                     each 24256 chip up to 8 chips can be addressed////
////                                                                   ////
////   Change the pin assignments inside the #use i2c statement        ////
////                                                                   ////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


#use i2c(master, sda=PIN_C4, scl=PIN_C3)

#define EEPROM_ADDRESS long int
#define EEPROM_SIZE   32768

void init_ext_eeprom()
{
   output_float(PIN_C3);
   output_float(PIN_C4);

}


void write_ext_eeprom(BYTE chadd,long int address, BYTE data)
{
   short int status;
   chadd = (chadd<<1) + 0xa0;
   i2c_start();
   i2c_write(chadd);
   i2c_write(address>>8);
   i2c_write(address);
   i2c_write(data);
   i2c_stop();
   i2c_start();
   status=i2c_write(chadd);
   while(status==1)
   {
   i2c_start();
   status=i2c_write(chadd);
   }
}


BYTE read_ext_eeprom(BYTE chadd,long int address) {
   BYTE data;
   chadd = (chadd<<1) + 0xa0;
   i2c_start();
   i2c_write(chadd);
   i2c_write(address>>8);
   i2c_write(address);
   i2c_start();
   chadd = chadd | 1;
   i2c_write(chadd);
   data=i2c_read(0);
   i2c_stop();
   return(data);
}

Ljbeng,

Thanks for sharing your code, but take care that 24256 eeproms are 32kbyte size, so 8*32kb = 256kbytes !!

Your right, bad math on my part. I thought that sounded low.
