You get two different addressing schemes : 1) 7 bit (generally for sizes up to 16k bits) 2) 10 bit (generally for sizes 16k bit - 256k bit) You have to implement the master mode in software to talk to the memory chips. Get the Phillips (I2C patent holder) specification. There is a link from my web page as well as other I2C resources. -- Friendly Regards /"\ \ / Tjaart van der Walt X ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN mailto:tjaart@wasp.co.za / \ AGAINST HTML MAIL |--------------------------------------------------| | WASP International | |R&D Engineer : GSM peripheral services development| |--------------------------------------------------| | Mobile : tjaart@sms.wasp.co.za (160 text chars) | | http://www.wasp.co.za/~tjaart/index.html | |Voice: +27-(0)11-622-8686 Fax: +27-(0)11-622-8973| | WGS-84 : 26¡10.52'S 28¡06.19'E | |--------------------------------------------------|
