This post provides the code for interfacing 24LC64 EEPROM with PIC12F675 microcontroller. This 24LC64 EEPROM has i2c based interface and PIC12F675 doesn’t have any built in i2c modules, so software i2c module is created in the code. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler. You can download this code from the ‘Downloads‘ section at

Introduction Virtually all PIC microcontrollers have some banking mechanism to extend addressing to additional memory space. But this external data memory is not directly addressable (except in some high versions of PIC18 devices, which include PIC18F8520, PIC18F6620, etc.). In this post we describe easy to implement external memory interface for PIC microcontrollers. Theoretically most of

SD memory cards, especially the ones under 1GB are cheap, relatively easy to interface and provide vast amounts of memory for imbedded control. This device lets you ‘talk’ to sd cards through your serial port. Communication is in ASCII so you just need a terminal program to access it. (Note: the photos shown are of
