Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding the significance of the addresses 6, 10, 8, 7, and 9 in the context of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) used in a project. Participants explore the nature of these addresses, whether they refer to pin configurations or bit capacities, and the importance of consulting datasheets for specific EEPROM models.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on what the addresses 6, 10, 8, 7, and 9 represent in EEPROM.
  • Another participant questions the clarity of the initial query, asking for more details about the project and the specific EEPROM being used.
  • Some participants suggest that the addresses could either represent pin numbers for addressing or the number of bits for various EEPROMs.
  • It is noted that unless the internal order of data is a concern, the pins can be used in numerical order for addressing.
  • There is a recommendation to consult the specification document of the processor board and the EEPROM datasheet for detailed information.
  • A later reply mentions that understanding internal addressing may be necessary if the EEPROM has internal segmentation features.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of understanding regarding the addresses, with some agreeing that they likely refer to pins while others emphasize the need for more specific information about the EEPROM model. The discussion remains unresolved as no consensus is reached on the exact nature of the addresses.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the importance of the EEPROM datasheet and the processor board specifications, indicating that the discussion may depend on specific models and configurations that are not fully detailed in the thread.

I am doing project which having eeprom in its circuitary. Designed people are saying that , EEprom having 6,10,8,7,9 address. I am really new to this and can anyone tell me what is these address in eeprom?

I am sorry but your question as stated makes little sense. What is the project, what are the technical requirements, what is the development board you chose for it and why, why and what EEPROM is in it?

Either those are the possible number of bits for various eeproms, or those are the pins used for addressing on a specific eeprom. Unless you care about the internal order of data in the eeprom, you could just use those pins in numerical order, 6,7,8,9,10, for addressing the contents of the eeprom.
 
yes, now i understand bit that those are pins. Can you explain bit more about those pins.
 
This is the point where you should have, or download, the specification document of your processor board, and possibly the components on it, and start reading.

Every question after that, reread your school books, and ask your professors concise questions before posting here.

In addition to Marco's board-level comments, you should get the product number of the EEPROM chip, and download the datasheet for it. Any questions you have for us about the chip should reference the pages where the discussion is in the datasheet.

An exception to where you would care about the internal addressing order is if the eeprom has some internal segmentation, where entire segments can erased, locked, or unlocked via a single sequence of inputs. You really need to get the manual for the eeprom and the board you want to mount the eeprom onto.
