Step 4: Selecting Your Serial EEPROM Development Tools

Are there any specialized Serial EEPROM tools available for the development, design and test phases of a project?

Microchip provides some of the best serial EEPROM tools in the industry for programming, testing, evaluating and predicting quality levels of Microchip’s EEPROMs. When basic programming or data viewer is required, the MPLAB® Starter Kit for Serial Memory Products can be purchased without investing a lot of money. Learn how you can purchase one today at the webpage dedicated to the MPLAB Starter Kit for Serial Memory Products.

When Erase/Write endurance, device lifetime or quality levels under various voltage and temperature conditions are required, the Total Endurance™ Software can act as a powerful mathematical model to make these predictions. Eventually all serial EEPROMs, from all manufacturers experience bit failures after some number of erase/write cycles. As the only tool of its kind, learn how you can download and operate this software free of charge at the webpage dedicated to the Total Endurance™ Software.
