This article introduces how to use the Xhorse Multi-PROG Programmer to read and write EEPROM data. Please read carefully if you are using the device for the first time.
What Is EEPROM?
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a memory chip used to store electronic data in vehicles. Its storage capacity ranges from a few hundred bytes to several hundred megabytes and is widely used in automotive electronic modules.
The Xhorse Multi-PROG supports multiple interface connection methods, enabling users to efficiently read and write a wide range of EEPROM chips.
Entering the EEPROM Function Menu
Run the Multi-PROG software on your PC and enter the EEPROM memory function menu. You can select the corresponding EEPROM options based on the manufacturer and specific chip model.
Currently, the device supports almost all common EEPROM types used in automotive electronic modules. It supports both serial and parallel EEPROM interfaces (note: some parallel EEPROMs require special adapters).
EEPROM Model & Mask Query
After selecting a specific EEPROM manufacturer, the Multi-PROG software will display all supported EEPROM models under that brand.
In addition to browsing by manufacturer, you can also search directly by entering the EEPROM chip model or silk-screen mask in the search box.
For example, if you enter the silk-screen mask “5BBD” of an 8-pin EEPROM, the software will automatically match and display the corresponding chip model 95320.
EEPROM Read / Write / Check Operations
For EEPROM operations, the Multi-PROG provides the following functions:
Read
Erase
Write
Check
You can click the corresponding buttons directly in the software interface to perform each operation.
Important notes:
All data on the chip will be lost after clicking Erase
When clicking Write, the original data on the chip will be automatically erased before writing new data
Conclusion
With its wide EEPROM compatibility and intuitive software interface, the Xhorse Multi-PROG Programmer offers a reliable solution for EEPROM read and write operations in automotive electronics.
