After a bit of hunting, _http://www.sigma-shop.com/product/31/usb-24xxx-i2c-e-eprom-programmer-microchip-atmel.html It seems that most 24CXX programmers can also program 24LCXX chips, but a few say they can't. If you wanted to build a programmer, search for I2C programmer.

cheers mate but think that shop is in Bulgaria looking for someware to buy in uk

 

[mich181189]

yeah, Uk suppliers of that sort of thing are pretty difficult to find... If you're up for building one, _http://mirror.bachelorsgrove.com/pro2052/schematic.html is worth a look (it's actually ponyprog and the necessary adapter - google ponyprog) You could actually get away without the external power supply part of it... or _http://www.vk2zay.net/article/31 - Alternatively if you have an arduino handy it can do I2C...

thanks mate the schematic looks interesting.

just found this programmer in uk

i take it this will program 24c16 and 24c32 Ic2 eproms ??

 

[mich181189]

yeah, should do, though it only claims to do the 24LC16 not the 24C16 - you specified LC in the original post, but now you reference the C (I can't actually figure out the difference between them, but some programmers claim not to work with one of them)

Depends on the voltage supplied to the IC by the programmer. A 24C16 needs a minimum supply voltage of 4.5V, whereas the low-power version (24LC16) has a minimum working voltage of 2.5V. So if the programmer supplies, say, 3.3V, it won't work a 24C16 (probably).

 

[mich181189]

Yeah, I thought that, but didn't feel like trawling the datasheets as thoroughly as I usually do...

Hi , Have you tried "Rapid Electronics" they supply allsorts of programmersand allthe components to make on up yourself if they don't already have what you are looking for.

hi...
any of the old pic programmers will do the job.
u can find numerious on ebay some for around £5
any serial pic programmer will do job only thing ul prob need a usb to serial converter if ur pc dont have serial like most dont nowadays!!!

then once u have the hardware there are many free software solutions for the programmer

look for a david tate style programmer as theres loads for it

or look for 'top 32 programmer'! under £40 for an all singing all dancing programme almost anything.

this is what i have and really is the dogs danglies!!!!

others are about £20-30 and do some, but this is £50 and does everything!!!!!
not let me down yet!!

but if ur just after a cheapy ill have a look c if i can find my old 1 which i made and ur welcome to, but needs a bit of tlc to get it reliable!

My willem universal programmer dual voltage, lists the 24c16 and says it will do all l/lc 24 series chips. I bought this programmer a number if years ago check site _www.mcumall.com
