24AA1025 EEPROM

[sublime]

Does anyone know if the 1Mbit 24AA1025 EEPROM chip is compatible with the 24256.C driver? I ask because I have the 24AA1025 chip, but no driver (if someone has a 241025.C driver please contact me).

As well, the data sheet for the 24AA1025 says that pin A2 should always bet tied high (5V in my case). The smaller chips 24LC64/128/256 I have always connected pin A2 to ground. Honestly I never knew why I did it, I was told to do that long ago, and have never had to return to the issue.

Thanks,
Sublime

CCS has a driver for it. It's called 241025.c and it's in this directory:

c:\Program Files\Picc\Drivers

If you don't have it, send an email to CCS support and ask if they
will send it to you. If you ever bought the compiler, I think they will
send it. Give them your user Reference Number.

Im using a compiler at university...

dont know the reference number... ive picked up a 256kb chip, and am using that for the time being...

The 24LC1025 driver that's posted near the end of this thread by gs
looks very similar to the CCS driver file:

There is also driver for the 25AA1025 posted in the Code Library forum:

i cant help but ask why the 24AA1025 and 24LC1025 would have different drivers?


I ended up making my own driver... Still using the 256kb chip for now... i have A2 on the EEPROM soldered low. the 24xx1025 data sheet says the device will not operate unless A2 IS high. Blah... im think i should get a little bit high.

The driver in the Code Library is for 4 of the 128KB 24AA1025 chips
used together, to create a combined eeprom memory array of 512 KB.

You don't need it.

Use the other driver in the link that I provided.

Or use your own driver.
