11 EEPROM ( 64
×
8 Bit )
The EEPROM addressing is indirect using 6 bits (64 addresses) defined in
RegEEPAdr
and
RegEEPCntl
registers. The EEPROM consist of 2 pages 32x8bit each, address
EEPAdr[4 :0]
. The page is selected in the
RegEEPCntl
register bit
EEPage
. So the user can address the EEPROM as it would be one block of 64x8 bit.
Any access to the EEPROM is done in two phases. 1
st
, one needs to define the address location. 2
nd
, one
needs to start the desired action, read or write. Refer to the examples below..
How to read data from EEPROM :
1
st
inst.
: write EEPROM address (4 low bits) in
RegEEPAddr
register.
2
nd
inst.
: write the high address bit, page and select reading operation in
RegEEPCntl.

,
EEPage
,
EEPRdWr
=0)
3
rd
inst.
: NOP instruction in case of 128kHz operation (metal option setting).
4
th
inst.
: read EEPROM low data in
RegEEPDataL
register.
5
th
inst.
: read EEPROM high data in
RegEEPDataH
register.
The two last instructions can be executed in the reverse order.
How to write data in EEPROM :
1
st
inst.
: write EEPROM address (4 low bits) in
RegEEPAdr
register.
2
nd
inst.
: write EEPROM low data in
RegEEPDataL
register.
3
rd
inst.
: write EEPROM high data in
RegEEPDataH
register.
4
th
inst.
: write the high address bit, page and select writing operation in
RegEEPCntl
.

th
.
:
IRQEEP
is generated at the end of write.
The three first instructions can be executed in any order.
Writing
RegEEPCntl
register starts automatically EEPROM reading or writing operation according to the bit
EEPRdWr
.
EEPROM access time is max. 20μs : Data is
available in
RegEEPDataL
and
RegEEPDataH
registers at the instruction following the read
access on 32kHz system clock The read signal is
1.5 system clock wide. The CPU reads at end of
phase 3.
With the 128kHz metal option the EERead signal
is 3.5 system clock cycles wide. Using this option
the user must use a NOP instruction before
actually reading the RegEEPDataL,H values.
EEPROM writing operation lasts 24ms (Erase followed by write). The flag
EEPBusy
in
RegEEPCntl
register
stays high until the writing operation is finished. An interrupt request
IRQEEP
is generated at the end of each
writing operation. While
EEPBusy
is high the EEPROM must not be used at all. The EEPROM interrupt request
can be masked (default) (
MaskIRQEEP
bit). See also the interrupt handling section 13 for further information .
Note : Any Reset or sleep mode will immediately cancel the EEPROM write operation.
The data to be stored at this time may be corrupted.
