PIC16F877A EEPROM

In this tutorial we will discuss how to access the PIC16F877A internal EEPROM memory to store and retrieve the data. Eeprom is basically used to store the non volatile data which is required to be stored even if there is power loss or controller resets.

PIC16F877A Memories

PIC16F877A comes with three memories Flash,RAM and EEPROM. Below table shows the memory capacity of PIC16F877A:

Memory	Size	Description
FLASH	8k-bytes	Used to store the programs
RAM	368-bytes	Temporary/ScratchPad memory used during program execution.
EEPROM	256-bytes	Used to store the non-volatile data across power cycles
