Hardware Overview

How does it work?

EEPROM 11 Click is based on the S-34C04AB, an EEPROM memory for DIMM serial presence detection from ABLIC. The EEPROM uses a Schmitt trigger and noise filter on the I2C bus for noise suppression. The S-34C04AB has a timeout function that can reset the I2C interface and return to standby mode. This timeout is typically 30ms. The EEPROM also allows you to write a byte or a page. The page write mode allows up to 16

bytes to be written in a single operation. The IC also has set protection for block n, clear write protection for all blocks, and read protection status for block n. As for reading, you can read a current address, a random read, or a sequential read. EEPROM 11 Click uses a standard 2-wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU, supporting clock frequencies of up to 1MHz. You can set the desired I2C address over three ADDR

SEL jumpers, with 0s selected by default. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

The 32L496GDISCOVERY Discovery kit serves as a comprehensive demonstration and development platform for the STM32L496AG microcontroller, featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M4 core. Designed for applications that demand a balance of high performance, advanced graphics, and ultra-low power consumption, this kit enables seamless prototyping for a wide range of embedded solutions. With its innovative energy-efficient

architecture, the STM32L496AG integrates extended RAM and the Chrom-ART Accelerator, enhancing graphics performance while maintaining low power consumption. This makes the kit particularly well-suited for applications involving audio processing, graphical user interfaces, and real-time data acquisition, where energy efficiency is a key requirement. For ease of development, the board includes an onboard ST-LINK/V2-1

debugger/programmer, providing a seamless out-of-the-box experience for loading, debugging, and testing applications without requiring additional hardware. The combination of low power features, enhanced memory capabilities, and built-in debugging tools makes the 32L496GDISCOVERY kit an ideal choice for prototyping advanced embedded systems with state-of-the-art energy efficiency.

 * @brief EEPROM 11 Click example
 *
 * # Description
 * This is an example that demonstrates the use of the EEPROM 11 Click board.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initializes the driver and USB UART logging, disables write protection.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * Writes a desired number of data bytes to the EEPROM 11 memory into a specified address, 
 * and verifies that it is written correctly by reading from the same memory location.
