12.2 EEPROM Memory Access 
The SiI 0680A supports an external 256-byte EEPROM memory device.  Access to the EEPROM memory is available through 
internal register operations in the SiI 0680A. 
EEPROM Write Operation 
Verify that bit 25 is cleared in the EEPROM Memory Address – Command + Status register at Offset 58
H
 of 
Base Address 5.  The bit reads one when a memory access is currently in progress.  It reads zero when the 
memory access is complete and ready for another operation. 
Write ‘1’ to clear bit 28 in the EEPROM Memory Address – Command + Status register.  The bit is set if an 
error occurred during a previous memory access. 
Program the write address for the EEPROM memory access.  The address field is defined by bits [07:00] in 
the EEPROM Memory Address – Command + Status register.  Program bits [15:08] to zero. 
Program the write data for the EEPROM memory access.  The data field is defined by bits [07:00] in the 
EEPROM Memory Data register at Offset 5C
H
 of Base Address 5. 
Program the memory access type.  The memory access type is defined by bit 24 in the EEPROM Memory 
Address – Command + Status register.  The bit must be cleared for a memory write access. 
Initiate the EEPROM memory access by setting bit 25 in the EEPROM Memory Address – Command + 
Status register. 
Poll bit 25 in the EEPROM Memory Address – Command + Status register.  The bit reads one when a 
memory access is currently in progress.  It reads zero when the memory access is complete. 
Check bit 28 in the EEPROM Memory Address – Command + Status register.  The bit is set if an error 
occurred during a previous memory access.

Read the data from the EEPROM memory access.  The data field is defined by bits [07:00] in the EEPROM 
Memory Data register at Offset 5C
