Hi Mak,

Serial EPROM’s such as the Atmel 24C01 are used everywhere such as in cellular phones, internal/external modems, Satellite receivers, Televisions and the list never stops.

I like to think of them as the cockroaches of the electronic industry because of the predominance.

It would be well to understand them by learning how to read/write to them for practice. It will reward you well down the road.

You can find some nice software on "www.atmel.com" web site dealing with these chips.

Regards,
