My next project would need a lot of EEPROM-- I figure about 2Kbytes, but
more would be nice. National Semi makes 16Kbit serial EEPROMS, but I was
wondering if there were any serial EEPROM devices out there larger than
that, wnd what the approximate cost is in units of one. I think I have to
go serial, 'cuz there aren't enough pins on a '54 to address a whole word
of external memory without a lot of support circuitry, which would add a
lot of cost.
Thanks-Matt

Xicor's serial flash may be interesting, up to 64kbit I think, try http://www.xicor.com/

Microchips 24X65 are 64Kbit parts and are addressable so that 8 of them
can live on a 2 bit I2C bus. thats 64KBytes for about $40. and 2 IO pins.

Try 24C65 ( made by Microchip and others ) which has an IIC
interface and also has pins for selecting the address of the chip,
so you can use multiple chips on the same IIC bus ( I don't
remember exactly but I think that you can use 8 chips ). IIC
routines for PICs you can find in AN541 and AN555 from Microchip.

National make a 8Mbit serial flash part. check their site.

I've prototyped the XICOR 24F128 connected to a '73. It worked fine with a
CCS compiled C program.

National's new 8Mbit serial part costs around $20.

Microchip makes serial eeproms up to 64kbits. The 24C65 is $2.64 is
single units in DIP.
