I am currently experiementing with data storage on a Microchip PIC 24C32 EEPROM IC. What I want to do is be able to READ the data from it but also somehow lock the IC from any data being written to it. Is it possible to jump/short maybe the SDA line to Vss (if this would produce the desired results).
Basically I want to hardwire it for read only operations inline and prevent the host device from being able to write to it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
email reply is fine.
