EEPROM cell failures

Sep 03, 2004 1 Replies

Hello, does anybody know when an EEPROM cell failure caused by too many writings is detect? when I write a value and immediately after the writng I read it or after some time?



thank you


When it doesn't hold its data for 10 years (or 100, or whatever it claims in the data sheet). Design of the test rig is fairly easy, but operation is tedious in the extreme, would even bore a Chelsea fan. Best design your system so you can never get anywhere near the write limit, or use CRCs or whatever over the contents so you can detect a failing cell.
