    If you just need 1MBit of EEPROM space two 24xx512 EEPROMS would do the job.

    see: DataSheet

    They are easy to use with PBP.

    What kind of data are you planing to store in EEPROM?
    can it be "compressed" in some way?

    regards:

    Some will use smartcard stuff but, IMO it's easier/cheaper to use a stack of some i2c EEPROM like 24C512


    OR :
    1X AT24C1024 (I2C)
    1X AT25P1024 (SPI)

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Hi Don,

    Have a look at the Atmel AT45D0xx DataFlash at: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/de...?family_id=616

    Here's an article on using them with a BASIC Stamp you might find useful to help get started. http://www.emesystems.com/BS2flash.htm

    Thanks BRUCE

    AT45DB081 is just fine for me ! Low cost,high density !
    Now, I try to learn read/write page mode !
    I need to write, time to time,8 byte and this memory want entire page write at a time !


    Thanks again
