On-Chip RAM

[Darrel Taylor]

And, to whom did you address DT?

You, of course.

I know you know this. Something just got crossed when you were typing it.

Just re-read post #6. You'll get it.

If you are pointing to EEPROM and RAM life, I referred to datasheet stating
"
-100,000 write Flash endurance,
-1,000,000 write EEPROM endurance

"

Thus, EEPROM has longer life then RAM.

If the way I understand it is wrong, please correct me.

RAM is commonly refered to as "General Purpose Registers".
That's the area where all the variables are placed.

Theoretically, you can read or write to RAM every microsecond until the end of time (or the end of the chip, which ever comes first).

The Flash area is where the program is stored. And the EEPROM is just a place to store periodically changing values that retain their data when power is removed.

RAM loses it's data when power is removed.

hth,

hth,

Thanks DT.

In that case, when we use WRITECODE command, are we using up flash life?

Our friend did not mention losing data.
Thus, I wanted to add something for his consideration.

Now you got it.

And WRITE uses EEPROM life.

It worked!
