EEPROM write and power failure

2008-04-28 by Tim Gilbert

We're doing an instrument that needs to store a variable in EEPROM.  It is a statistical certainty that, at some point, the power will fail just as the software starts to write the data. Any idea's how to handle this?

Of course, we'll have the BOD enabled but I don't know (in fact really doubt) that it will save the day.


Thanks,
