A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.

I recently came across a number of these 24LC00 T/SN Microchip EEPROM's. Could anyone tell me if these have much use anymore, or are they only used in specific applications? I unfortunately don't have the time I would like to have to work with them. I appreciated any information that others might have about the uses for them or if they are trash can material. Thanks, Eugene Faber |

I believe they are an I2C device. I like to
use external EEPROMs to hold ASCII chars used in messages to an LCD. If you have
a number of menus. ASCII requires a lot of memory and
storing it in an external EEPROM saves space in the PIC.
You can also store tables, setup values and such that
can be pre programmed. I'm sure others will find a lot of other uses as well.
Hope this helps.
