Number of address in AT24C16 EEPROM or is it duplicate?

Question

I am working on EEPROM AT24C16 for a particular project. According to the datasheet it must have 2048 addresses and I should be able to write 1024 unsigned int into it [ 1 unsigned int per 2 addresses] but I am only able to write 128 unsigned ints onto 256 addresses.

Is my EEPROM duplicate or I am confused and it has only 256 addresses. please help me to figure out the number of addresses in AT24C16.

Code:

#include<p18f4520.h>
#include<i2c.h>  // Required For In-built I2C Routine


#pragma config OSC = HS   /* Sets the oscillator mode HS */
#pragma config WDT = OFF   /* Turns the watchdog timer off */
#pragma config LVP = OFF   /* Turns low voltage programming off */

The problem here is actually with the I2C peripheral library, not your code.

The EEByteWrite function is defined as:

signed char EEByteWrite1(  unsigned char control,
                           unsigned char address,
                           unsigned char data );
#define EEByteWrite EEByteWrite1

As you can see the address parameter is an unsigned char which means it can only accept values up to 255. That's the limit you are hitting.

The EERandomRead function is defined similarly.

The built-in EEByte* functions in plib are not suitable for anything more than small EEPROMs with up to 256 addresses.

To access more than 256 addresses you will need to write your own routines that control the target chip appropriately.
