EEPROM SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

functions that includes EEPROM block erase, write

and test functions. See table 5. The EEPROM

control register functions are not needed in normal

EEPROM use such as read and write operations.

The 256-bit EEPROM consists of two 128-bit

blocks, so block erase and block write applies only

to one half of the EEPROM, selectable by the A4

address bit (see table 1). To erase or write the

whole EEPROM, block erase or write needs to be

done

twice:

for

A4=0

and

for

A4=1.

It

is

recommended to not use block erase or write

functions to avoid accidental internal oscillator

trimming data overwriting at A4=0 memory block.

Setting the EEPROM control register bit 7 (EBE) to

1 will erase the EEPROM memory block (128 bits)

specified by the A4 bit. Erased memory block

consists of zeroes.

Setting bit 6 (EBW) to 1 will force the EEPROM

memory block specified by the A4 bit to be

programmed to the same 8-bit word found in the

Note: after block operations the block erase (EBE)

or write (EBW) control bit need to be written back to

value 0 to return normal operation.
