I need your advice !

Thank you very munch

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

see: DataSheet (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21754E.pdf)

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?

Ralph

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)

Hi Don,

Have a look at the Atmel AT45D0xx DataFlash at: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/devices.asp?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

Don Mario
