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



Prerequisites

Please check this tutorial for detailed explanation on PIC16F877A Internal Eeprom.

Code

Below is the program to write the data(A-Z) to eeprom and then read it back.
