EEPROM lifespan?
Posted: 25 Sep 2018 13:53
Hi,
Does anyone know what the expected lifespan of the EEPROM is?
I am reading in other foras that an EEPROM has a lifespan of about 100.000 write cycles as a rule of thumb.
What speaks against this number is the the following example:
https://z-uno.z-wave.me/examples/Water-Meter/
The water meter in the above example saves data to EEPROM every 2 minutes. So, if the lifespan is 100.000 cycles, then that sketch will effectively destroy the EEPROM in just 5 months.
So, I am thinking that perhaps the 100.000 number is not correct for the Z-Uno?
