CAT24C512

General description

The CAT24C512 is a EERPOM Serial 512−Kb I²C internally organized as 65,536 words of 8 bits each.
It features a 128−byte page write buffer and supports the Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz) and Fast−Plus (1 MHz) I²C protocol.
Write operations can be inhibited by taking the WP pin High (this protects the entire memory).
External address pins make it possible to address up to eight CAT24C512 devices on the same bus.
On−Chip ECC (Error Correction Code) makes the device suitable for high reliability applications.

OSS-ECAL specification

API Function

etSTS oCAT24C512_BYTE_WRITE( etCMP cmp, uint16 mem_adr, uint8 val )

The oCAT24C512_BYTE_WRITE function is an API function that writes the value of val to the specified address mem_adr for the CAT24C512. This function returns the return value eSTS_EXE until the time to complete the write (iCAT24C512_WRITE_TIME [ms]) has elapsed.

NOTE :
The iCAT24C512_WRITE_TIME [ms] elapsed measurement is calculated from the Thread period that calls this function, so set the Thread period to THREAD_OSS_ECAL_PERIOD [ms].
Please use the oCAT24C512_WP_DIS function to release write-protection before using this function.

etSTS oCAT24C512_PAGE_WRITE( etCMP cmp, uint16 mem_adr, uint16 len, uint8* buf )

The oCAT24C512_PAGE_WRITE function is an API function that writes the values buf[0] through buf[len-1] for the CAT24C512 in order from the specified address mem_adr. This function returns the return value eSTS_EXE until the time to complete the write (iCAT24C512_WRITE_TIME [ms]) has elapsed.

NOTE :
If mem_adr + len > 0bXXXXXXXXXXX1111111, addresses A7 to A15 are fixed and A0 to A6 are rolled over to 0bXXXXXXXXXXX0000000.
The iCAT24C512_WRITE_TIME [ms] elapsed measurement is calculated from the Thread period that calls this function, so set the Thread period to THREAD_OSS_ECAL_PERIOD [ms].
Please use the oCAT24C512_WP_DIS function to release write-protection before using this function.

CAUTION

The sample version of OSS-ECAL is not intended to be used with Threads (Tasks) or interrupts of different priority. Please do not use it as in the example below.

Example: If each sensor is assigned to the same ADC group and the OSS-ECAL API is executed in processes with different priorities, correct values may not be obtained.
ADC Gr0 Ch0　Temperature sensor AD22100A　100ms cycle Thread (low priority) to take in temperature
ADC Gr0 Ch1　Pressure sensor　　 MPX5999D　Event interrupts (high priority) to take pressure
