About M24C16

[APako.1]

Hi,

I have a few questions for the M24C16 memory (16 Kbit with page size: 16 byte):

1. Does the memory have addresses from 0 to 127, one address per page (2048Bytes / 16)?

2. In datasheet "Byte Write" shows a data frame containing: "Byte address" (one byte) and “Data in�?. Is it possible to write a specific byte, e.g. the second byte of page 0?

3. Is the recommended (efficient) memory usage write / read full pages?

Thanks.

You can write bytes or a single byte. When writing you don't want the bytes to span a page, so the maximum aligned write would be a page.

Hi,

I have problem with page write to eeprom. Below is an example of write page 100 (0x64) - (I send the command only once) with values 0xAA, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xBB (16 values - page size 16 bytes).

Data frame - reading from the logic analyzer:

0xA0 + ACK (EEPROM Address)

0x64 + ACK (Page address)

0xAA + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xFF + ACK

0xBB + ACK

Does anyone know why, instead of saving one page, 16 pages are saved ? Why the data is shifted ? Where could the error be ?
