Command Write Sequence
The EEPROM command controller is used to supervise the command write sequence to execute program,
erase, erase verify, sector erase abort, and sector modify algorithms.
Before starting a command write sequence, the ACCERR and PVIOL ags in the ESTAT register must be
determine the state of the address, data and command buffers. If the CBEIF ag is set, indicating the
buffers are empty, a new command write sequence can be started. If the CBEIF ag is clear, indicating the
buffers are not available, a new command write sequence will overwrite the contents of the address, data
and command buffers.
A command write sequence consists of three steps which must be strictly adhered to with writes to the
EEPROM module not permitted between the steps. However, EEPROM register and array reads are
allowed during a command write sequence. The basic command write sequence is as follows:
1. Write to one address in the EEPROM memory.
2. Write a valid command to the ECMD register.
3. Clear the CBEIF ag in the ESTAT register by writing a 1 to CBEIF to launch the command.
The address written in step 1 will be stored in the EADDR registers and the data will be stored in the
EDATA registers. If the CBEIF ag in the ESTAT register is clear when the rst EEPROM array write
occurs, the contents of the address and data buffers will be overwritten and the CBEIF ag will be set.
When the CBEIF ag is cleared, the CCIF ag is cleared on the same bus cycle by the EEPROM command
controller indicating that the command was successfully launched. For all command write sequences
except sector erase abort, the CBEIF ag will set four bus cycles after the CCIF ag is cleared indicating
that the address, data, and command buffers are ready for a new command write sequence to begin. For
sector erase abort operations, the CBEIF ag will remain clear until the operation completes. Except for
the sector erase abort command, a buffered command will wait for the active operation to be completed
before being launched. The sector erase abort command is launched when the CBEIF ag is cleared as part
of a sector erase abort command write sequence. Once a command is launched, the completion of the
command operation is indicated by the setting of the CCIF ag in the ESTAT register. The CCIF ag will
set upon completion of all active and buffered commands.

Command
Function on EEPROM Memory
0x05
Erase
Verify
Verify all memory bytes in the EEPROM block are erased. If the EEPROM block is erased, the
BLANK ag in the ESTAT register will set upon command completion.
0x20
Program
Program a word (two bytes) in the EEPROM block.
0x40
Sector
Erase
Erase all four memory bytes in a sector of the EEPROM block.
