EEPROM has a write/erase cycle limit spec in the datasheet. for atTiny's EEPROM its 100K cycle... is this spec applied to when we are "READING" the EEPROM only. i have a situation where i will write the EEPROM content once during programming, but in the running firmware, it will READ the EEPROM content so many times in a second... will the EEPROM die quick this way? i have a hard time finding the READ ONLY spec in the net, all are talking about in combination of either write/erase, or read/write. i know about the WRITE limit, but what about the READ ONLY? i can load the EEPROM content to SRAM during boot once to be safe, and read from that "fixed value" SRAM content many times, but i need to cram every possible SRAM bits for other purpose storing "ever changing" so many variables, loading a fixed valued EEPROM content into SRAM may crippled on how many "quickly changing value" variables in my firmware, so this way is a no (bad) go. i want to make sure that this READ EEPROM many times a second is a safe bet. i need the answer quick, hopefully since i'm coding in this very minute, so please help, may peace be upon you thanks.
