| | Serial EEPROM |
 | | Of particular interest to us are the EEPROM Array, which is the actual EEPROM memory cells, the Status Register, which is a register that holds configuration and status information, and of course the Page Latches, which are the temporary 'holding' areas for data being written. |
 | | EEPROM is not a substitute for general purpose RAM. |
 | | The basic operation of the SPI based EEPROM's is to lower the CS line, send a command, such as WRITE, followed by an address and the data, then raise the CS line. |
