Reading Eeprom ID

Started by Martijn Broens September 2, 2008
Hi All,

I was wondering, for a project i need to connect to several eeproms
(24C16 and 24C64) either will be connected via terminals connectors. so
i have no knowledge of which is connected at this moment. therefore i
was wondering if it is possible to readout an id or so. which could in
turn be used to define the brand and size of eeprom connected.

is this possible? and if so does any one have smoe appnotes on this??

the eeproms will be for starters preffeably from Atmel and/or microchip

thanks in advance Martijn
