Aren't you using the DS1307?, this has internal EEPROM (also called NVRAM) for doing just what you want.

yes sir...

i was saying for External EEPROM...

by the way sir, i am trying to save the data in that memory but if i remove the power from MCU then data from memory of DS1307 if lost..

why it happens can you please tell me..???

BUT its still in the DS1307 NVRAM 56byte memory.

why it happens can you please tell me..???

hi,
Its usual to have a battery backed real time clock module, to cover the periods when the external power fails, so that the RTC will keep time...
 
Like Eric says, the NVRAM in the DS1307 might be battery backed RAM rather than EEPROM?, so you need a backup battery to maintain it, and keep the clock running when there's no power. Again, the datasheet will explain it all.
 
Well...

This is the reason we always add a battery + power supply to DS1307...

Moreover,

EEPROM is a memory that retains data even when power is off...

yes sir. i have connected battery too..
altough if i am trying to save data in EEPROM of RTC its lost if i am removing power from MCU...

its the command where i have try to use the NVROM of RTC.
ALM_STORE EQU 08H ; DS1307 RAM, ALARM STORAGE, BEGINNING.

please tell me whether its write or wrong...???

hi hitesh,
This pdf is for a 8051 and DS1307, includes an application program.

Well..

Hi Sir Hitesh..

The pdf version of application note given by sir eric gibbs is very fine...

You take one more day extra to understand the interface...

This is very good pdf what i can suggest to you...

Simran..:)
