Introduction to the UNI/O EEPROM Family Part 1 of 2

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idc... When small size or I/O resources on the microcontroller are a concern and non-volatile memory is required, the UNI/O EEPROM Family is another option. This seminar begins with a brief overview of the serial buses used in todayâ s mainstream EEPROMs, followed by a comparison of the new UNI/O Bus protocol. Since this new bus only uses a single I/O port for communication, it gives engineers another option for miniaturization and lower system costs. As the seminar progresses, the main features of this new memory are shown along with the advanced features never before seen in a single EEPROM device. Finally, there is a discussion on an easy way to evaluate UNI/O EEPROMs using existing customer hardware and Microchipâ s software drivers.
