Hi Riaz,

Read carefully http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resou...oc3286.pdf page 9. Writing a single byte in internal EEPROM takes 128ms!!.


Writing a 32 byte page in 4ms or as 32 x 4ms single byte writes (128ms).

So even if there is only one bit that is altered in a 32 byte page, it will cost you 4ms.
If no bits have been changed, you do not need to waste 4ms.

You will probably choose a strategy that is appropriate to your data.

Clearly, blindly writing one byte at a time to EEPROM when the data has not altered is very inefficient.

A single chip solution is very convenient for certain applications. You just have to choose what is best for your app.

David.

help regarding 89s8253            01/01/70 00:00      
   i can,t understand what is the problem            01/01/70 00:00      
      Either write less data to EEPROM or switch to 8-bit F-RAM            01/01/70 00:00      
   i CAN understand what is the problem......            01/01/70 00:00      
      EEPROM need not be too slow.            01/01/70 00:00      
         'too' is a very relative word            01/01/70 00:00      
   I use to work with AT89S8253            01/01/70 00:00      
      do not forget            01/01/70 00:00      
      Not quite true            01/01/70 00:00
