The boards are designed to interface with the PICtail Plus connector as well as the MPLAB Starter Kit for Serial Memory Products and the PICkit 4, allowing you to get started right out of the box. the MAX II UFM block erase/programming endurance specification. The Serial EEPROM PIM PICtail Modules are a series of boards designed around Microchip Serial EEPROM devices. The software is constantly being updated, new devices and features are being added. consider in your integration of serial EEPROM applications are the sector-based erase. (I came across a series of ST24C16 which would not allow any writing in Multibyte Write mode. They are not as fast as the special ones however, they should work with any EEPROM by any manufacturer.

It uses only the basic modes - Random Address Read, Byte Write. The software does not use any special modes like Current Address Read, Sequential Read, Multibyte Write, or Page Write. It has been tested with 93C46/56/66 and 24C16 - I did not have other ones available however, I expect them to work too.

Software is designed according to specifications by Atmel and ST. The green LED is on while the control software runs, the red LED is on during reading and writing, when the supply voltage is applied to the device. One half of the socket is for 93Cxx EEPROMs, the other half is for 24Cxx and 24Wxx. The programmer hardware - a DIL16 socket (or two DIL8's), two low-power LEDs, and a few resistors, easily fit into a Cannon 25 connector cover.ĭon't use a metallized cover, if the socket pins run through it. Since the serial number is changed, the USB device will need to be re-enumerated by the USB Host for the changes to be seen on the PC. The modified serial number should be shown.

Reasonable values are 470R for the power supply pins (D0 and D5), and 1k5 for the rest of them (D1, D3, D4). o Write to the EEPROM using FTEEProgram o Read the EEPROM again using FTEERead. It is definitely recommended if you have the LPT integrated on your mainboard. It is an excellent idea to include protective resistors (not shown in the above schematics) to protect the parallel port in case of a defective EEPROM. The schematics and a description is included in the online help. Warning - some parallel ports can't be used this way.

Supply voltage +5V is taken directly from the port. It is just a simple software for testing and programming serial EEPROMs using the PC parallel or serial port.
