The EEPROM is an area of read/write memory that is non-volatile i.e., the stored data is not lost even if you power off the device.
The ATmega32 has a inbuilt EEPROM in it . Before starting to learn about using the internal EEPROM, let's get to know about the risk's that involve in using a Internal EEPROM.
- Internal EEPROM might get corrupted while the power is being switched off.
- Supply voltages are likely to rise or fall slowly during power up or down, this causes the device to operate at a voltage lower than the specified minimums voltage for the clock frequency used. This might lead to an unintentional write of the EEPROM.
