Hi !

I am trying to use 24c1024 eeprom.

I can write till address 65536, when address is  a word.

But to use second half of eeprom , device need 17 bit address

How can i send 17 bit address to eeprom 24c1024 ?

Thanks

I think out of the 17 bits the 17th bit lies in the device address field. The other two 8-bits can be manipulated by the HBusIn/Out commands.

With a 24C1024 EEPROM, its address range goes above 16-bits, and standard I2C protocol cannot send an address greater than 65535 (16-bits), so it uses bit-1 of the slave address, commonly named the P0 bit. See the Device Addressing section in the various datasheets for the 24C1024 devices.

If the P0 bit is clear, the address range is 0 to 65535, and if set, the address range is 65536 to 131071. So this method still works with a standard I2C protocol that cannot send more than 16-bits for the address. The program listing below shows two simple procedures that will access a 24C1024 EEPROM and display what it is writing and reading on a serial terminal:

The above program is very simple, and only writes single bytes, but this can be advanced to write/read other value sizes and also write/read in a paged fashion. See how bit-1 of the I2C slave address is manipulated based upon the address value?
