Post by thread:[EE] Reading eeprom, any wear & tear?

I was wondering about repetitive reading of eeprom. My data sheet says garaunteed so many read/write cycles, but what about just read? What if I got stuck in a read loop.

There is no wear mechanism on reads, only writes On Tue, 24 Jun 2003 06:39:40 -0700, you wrote: >I was wondering about repetitive reading of eeprom.

My understanding has always been that read was not limited, only the write. But I might be wrong there.... --Bob At 06:39 AM 6/24/2003 -0700, you wrote: {Quote hidden}>I was wondering about repetitive reading of eeprom.

The PIC datasheets (AFAIK) specify the endurance in terms of erase/write cycles and don't mention read.
