[Emc-users] Programmer for a serial EEPROM?

I need to reprogram a Winbond 25Q80BVAIG serial EEPROM. It's an 8 pin
DIP. I've found some cheap ($5 or less) Chinese programmers on eBay with
a ZIF socket and USB. Dunno if they'll work for this chip.

Been trying to find a datasheet but Google and friends insist I cannot
read the characters off the chip and will only give me results for a
25Q80BVSIG, or other strings of characters in varying degress of not
what I entered.

It IS a 25Q80BVAIG, I've found plenty of clear images of chips with that
and it's turned up in lists on sites offering them for sale. Dunno why
the search engines have to be so idiotically "helpful".

Hi Greg,

I would assume that this naming difference does not matter, as it seems
to only affect the package. You could give this datasheet a try:

http://datasheet.datasheetarchive.com/originals/library/Datasheets-SW21/DSASW00417843.pdf

or

http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1918295.pdf

On page 74 or 71, respectively, 25Q80BVAIG is listed as top side marking
for the W25Q80BVDAIG, i.e. PDIP, industrial temp, green package.

Regards,
Philipp

Hi,
for programming I can recommend the TL866 minipro, available from ebay or aliexpress.
works great, programs almost everything, and there is open source software available for it.
