The heart of the EEPROM programmer is an ATmega8 microcontroller. The address bus of the EEPROM (up to 15 bit) is controlled via two daisy-chained 74HC595 shift registers using hardware SPI @ 8 Mbps.
This is a simple circuit for programming the 28C16, 28C64, 28C256, and similar parallel EEPROMs using an Arduino. Since the Arduino doesn’t have enough pins to directly control all of the address, ...
