Hi all, I'm trying to write a code so I can store some data to AT24C01A.

What is the write and read address for AT24C01A ?. For example, DS1307 write = 0D0H and read = 0D1H.

1). I have read the datasheet, but could figure out what is the address.

2). To Rickey : I have downloaded your I2C routine from 8052.cm. Can I use this routine to write and read AT24C01A ?. What modifications to be made ?.

3). If I want to store (write) data to AT24C01A, how to define the address register in AT24C01A ?. I couldn't find it in the datasheet. For example, in DS1307, I saw code defining alarm equ 08H (08H = first register address in DS1307 RAM).

Thanks all.

well.. i hope you've seen the datasheet carefully
http://www.selectronic.fr/includes_selectronic/pdf/ATMEL/24C16.pdf
on page 8 you can find the address for the EEPROM.
on page 7 you will information regarding how to write program.

yes you can use my I2C program, those are the basic things required for I2C communication. rest of the program you can write yourself as i mentioned see page 7 for more details about how to read, write and poll for acknowledgment. poll for ack coz its EEPROM so when you write something it will take time to store it, and you wont get ack unless its written. I hope you understood. please see page 7 carefully
and page 8,9 for reading and writing to particular address. as its 1K (AT24C01) EEPROM, so address will be from 0000 to 03FF so that can be anywhere u want.. see page 8,9 for sequential write and random write
enjoy programming!

Hi Rickey,

Thanks for the info. I'll read the datasheet again.

1). Referring to AT24C01A, I'm confused (as I'm newbie in microcontroller), is it 128 bytes or 1 K bytes ?. If 128 bytes, then last address is 7FH, and if 1024 bytes, then last address is 3FF ?.

2). Below is the quote you posted in other thread for DS1307.

You wrote :
i am writing some steps how to read from DS1307
Start
Send slave address with write bit
send the subaddress from where you want to read
start condition again [NOTE:dont send stop before this]
send slave address with read bit
start reading.
So the above steps are applied in the code as..

run1: acall startc
mov a,#0d0h
acall send
mov a,#00h
acall send
mov r6,#3fh
acall startc
mov a,#0d1h
acall send
mov r0,#40h
here: acall recv
djnz r6,here
acall stop

If I understand it correctly, 3FH = last address in DS1307 and we inserted 40H into R0 simply to tell the microcontroller it is the last data to be read ?.

In DS1307, normally only two data were stored inside, that is hour and minute (alarm) time. Even only two data were stored into the DS1307, the microcontroller will read the entire memory from 00H to 3FH and end the process if reach 40H ?.

Can this procedures (read the entire address) applied to AT24C01A ?. What about when writing to AT24C01A ?.

3). If I have 10 data to be stored into the AT24C01A, for example : Data_1,............, Data_10, do I need to make a descriptions like this : Data_1 equ 00H, Data_2 equ 1H,..........Data_10 equ 9H (to specify each data address in AT24C01A RAM) ?.

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks,

AT24C01 is 1Kbytes see in the datasheet the first page its mentioned there.

you are not reading in a correct way, there is only 40 bytes of ram in the DS1307 so the subaddress will be only 1 byte e.g. you want to read from 3F location then
run1: acall startc ;this example is for DS1307
mov a,#0d0h
acall send
mov r6,#3fh
acall startc
mov a,#0d1h
acall send
acall recv
;after the above instruction the data will be in ACC
;so can be stored anywhere you want
mov r4,a ;i am storing in r4
acall stop

but in case of EEPROM, your subaddress is 2 bytes so, while sending subaddress you will first send high of subaddress and then lower byte of subaddress. This way you can read it.
and for sequential read, keep on recieving the data until you want to stop.
and as you said. that data space in DS1307 is only 40bytes, so when you reach 3F while reading, it will roll back to 00H and starts again. so its continuous process until you stop.


3). If I have 10 data to be stored into the AT24C01A, for example : Data_1,............, Data_10, do I need to make a descriptions like this : Data_1 equ 00H, Data_2 equ 1H,..........Data_10 equ 9H (to specify each data address in AT24C01A RAM) ?.

you can also define e.g.
DB 03H,04H,05H,00H
so this will store bytes on your desired location in 8051 ROM and when you want to write this data, then simply make a routine like...
send start
send slave add with write bit
send subadd
send data
send data ; if multiple data, you can also use a loop
send stop ; when all data is sent

loop e.g.
send start
send slave add with write bit
send subadd
load counter ; load how many bytes to send
load data from location is controller's ROM
dec counter and check for zero
if not zero go back else stop
send stop

so this way you can do sequential write. But one thing is important in case of AT24C01 or any other I2C EEPROM, that you have to wait until u get acknowledgment from EEPROM. I hope you have seen in datasheet of memory for ack polling. this is only done during writing..
but the above is not applicable in case of DS1307 coz it has RAM not ROM.


Sorry for the long post.

Thanks,
SGH

don't worry about long posts, doubts can be big or small just ask.

Rickey, you published I2C code in 8052 forum.

Which line in your send and receive routine for acknowledge ?.

I read in a routine published by Rentron Electronics for AT89C2051 + DS1307, for example in their send_byte routine, it used JNB SDA to check for acknowledge.

What is the function of rlc c in your routine ?.


Thanks,
SGH

In my routines, i am not checking for ack! i am assuming that the data transfer is perfect and ack is received. thats the reason, it cannot be used for EEPROM.
but my C routines can be used for EEPROM and any I2C device.

RLC A instruction means "rotate left through carry"
whatever is there in A is rotated left and the MSB is copied back to the place of LSB and all bits are shifted by 1 toward left. and the MSB is also copied to the Carry flag.
e.g.
A is 0x10110100 and carry is 0
after RLC A
A is 0x01101001 and carry is 1

After a while, I still unable to write a correct code to write and read from EEPROM (AT24C01A). I have read the datasheet many times and still could not figure out the way to write the proper code.

Would you please help me or let me know where I can download the routine (in assembly). I'm using AT24C01A with AT89S51.

Thanks,
SGH

my old I2C code wont work with EEPROM. check I2C library section in download area.
