16F648A internal eeprom
PostPosted: Thu Nov 29, 2007 9:00 pm     Reply with quote
I am using the internal eeprom of the chip to store data and found that very high percentage (> 10%, 3 in 20 chips) are corrupted after very short running time (around 1 month). The eeprom data stored when shipped and read only 1 or 2 times a day. The read/write function is CCS build in functions.

The power is a regulated 5V.

Any idea?

Some silicon revisions of the 16F648A have problems with the eeprom
write operation.

The Errata says it's fixed in silicon revision A5.

What is silicon revision of your PIC ? You can find it by "connecting"
to the PIC with an ICD2 programmer.

For example, I have a 16F628A chip. (I don't have a 16F648A).
When I connect to it with the ICD2, the following messages are
displayed by MPLAB:
Quote:

Connecting to MPLAB ICD 2
...Connected
Setting Vdd source to target
Target Device PIC16F628A found, revision = Rev 0x6
...Reading ICD Product ID
Running ICD Self Test
...Passed
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready

Post the silicon revision of your PIC.
