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
EasyPIC v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports many high pin count 8-bit PIC microcontrollers from Microchip, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer. 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, EasyPIC v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any
circumstances at any time. Each part of the EasyPIC v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module, which offers many valuable programming/debugging options and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment, the board 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 DEVICE, and CAN are also included, including the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, two display options (graphical and character-based LCD), and several different DIP sockets. These sockets cover a wide range of 8-bit PIC MCUs, from the smallest PIC MCU devices with only eight up to forty pins. EasyPIC 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.

*
* # 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.
