Hi all, I have a question pertaining to an Atmel microcontroller. I have a AT89C2051 flash microcontroller. I just wanted to verify that once I program the chip with a universal programmer I have, I can turn off all power to the chip without losing the data right? So the next time I apply power to the chip, it will still function as programmed right. thank you.

Yes. If that was NOT true, how do you imagine they would be used ? :)

Could be he's more accustomed to FPGAs and the need to reprogram 'em at every startup (for many common architectures, at least)?

Yes, it was such a strange question it sent me to the Atmel data sheet to check if they assumed too much knowledge, but the second sentence says : "The device is manufactured using Atmel?s high-density nonvolatile memory technology" so I can't really fault that....

Hi Jim and Rich, Thanks for the replies. Rich is right, I do use fpgas for my designs. But nonetheless, i apologize for not reading the datasheet a little more carefully. Thanks you two; much appreciated.
Regards, Phil
