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

Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access

anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.

Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output via UART Mode

1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "FLASH" button initiates the build process, and programs it on the created setup.

2. After the programming is completed, click on the Tools icon in the upper-right panel, and select the UART Terminal.

3. After opening the UART Terminal tab, first check the baud rate setting in the Options menu (default is 115200). If this parameter is correct, activate the terminal by clicking the "CONNECT" button.

4. Now terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.

 * # 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.
