| EEPROM and RTC on same I2C bus? |
 Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 2:25 am |

Hello,
Does anyone have (positive  ) experience with EEPROM and RTC on same I2C bus?
As well, anyone who has used TMR module instead RTC?
Please help me about my dilema  .
Thank you |

I use the DS1307 RTC with 24LC512 EEPROM in the same I2C bus without any problem.

Same thing. I used DS1307 RTC, two 24LC512 EEPROMs, and a MAX517 DAC on the same I2C bus. As long as you can make sure that each device on the bus has a unique address, your I2C bus will function.
Oh, there's one additional more subtle point. If you are going to use interrupts in the PIC, you can potentially end up in a situation like the following. Assume that PIC talks to some I2C devices in the in main(), and also talks to the other I2C devices in the ISR*. At some point main() starts an I2C transaction. Before main() ends the I2C transaction, and interrupt occurs and the ISR starts another I2C transaction on the same bus and clobbers the first transaction started by the main(). There are some methods, which allow avoiding situations like this:
1. All of the I2C communication should take place in the same priority level. I.e. all of the I2C code is in the ISRs or all of the I2C code is in the main().
2. Disable interrupts before starting the I2C transaction, and re-enable them after the I2C transaction is finished. You can do similar thing with flags and ifs without disabling interrupts.
-------------------
* ISRs should be made as short and as fast as practical. Typically serial communication in the ISR is not advised. However if the I2C clock rate is fast (100kHz+), hardware I2C is used, writing a couple of bytes on the I2C doesn't cause problems. |

| DS1307 and AT24C32 on the same bus without problems. Are you having problems or just curious? |

Thanks for your answers guys, they kept me busy this weekend
I am starting new project Mark. I have previous experience with Motorola/Freescale and SPI, and I have in my head information (from somewhere?) that some I2C EEPROMs and RTCs are difficult to be set on same bus.
Thanks again,
Ivica |

| It's only a few wires. Best to try it with the chips you want to use. |

I`m having some issues with PCF8583 and ATMEL 24C16A on the same i2c bus.When i insert the eeprom the PCF resets itself to a value i`ve programmed in to it at start, it stops counting and the year is not properly set.When i take out the eeprom and restart the pic (16F690) everything works like a charm.I`ve tried to change the address of the 24C16A, but it`s the same :( .The PCF has the A0->Vdd in firmware it`s A2(write) , A3(read) .
Somebody had some similar problems ?
I`m using software i2c, the hardware i2c gives me all 00 .The pullups are 2k2,also tried 1k5, and around 4k it`s always the same. |

What drivers are you using for the pcf8583 and AT24C16A ?
Provide a link or a directory path, if possible.

What are the connections for A0, A1, A2 on the AT24C16A ? |

For the PCF8583 I'm using the driver from
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27988
For the AT24C16A currently I have no driver. I will have to get it or to write on my own.
A0,A1,A2 are on Vss. I have put some jumpers on my board for easier address change, tried several combinations, but the same problem occurs. |

Post your test program. Don't post the PCF8583 driver. Just #include it
in your test program. The program should be short, and compilable.
Also post your compiler version. |

Here is the code.I`ve stripped the main code only to test the PCF8583 and to be short as You said.The problem still occurs in the presence of the AT24C16A.

Also, from a general hardware point of view, as you add devices to the I2C
bus, increasing the total capacitance, you may need to adjust the pullup
resistor values. |

You have INT_EXT enabled, but you don't have an isr for it. Delete that
line.
Once that is fixed, test it, and post the answers to these questions:
1. Does the problem occurs if the eeprom is simply plugged into its socket
while using the program shown above ?
2. Does the eeprom have +5v and ground connected to its Vdd and Vss pins ?
3. What are the values of the pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines ?
4. Are you sure that you didn't accidently swap the wires going to SDA
and SCL on the eeprom ? (ie., are they going to the incorrect pins ?)
5. Have you tried different addresses on the eeprom (jumpered with
A0,A1,A2 pins) ? |

I commented the the line with external interrupt. I have to mention that I need the external interrupt in my program. But for the test it`s commented out.
1.Yes the problem occurs when i plug the eeprom in.
2.Yes.
3.The values of the pullup resistors, were 1k5, 2k2, 4k7, and now it`s 10k.
4.I`ve double checked the lines. It goes from the pic to eeprom, from eeprom to pcf8583
5.Yes. I`ve tried. Currently it`s A0->0 A1->0 A2->1 |
