3.4 Configurations with EEPROM
3.4.1 EEPROM Interface
The interface to the EEPROM consists of the
four signals shown in Table 6.
3.4.2 EEPROM Memory Organization
If an EEPROM is used to store initial configu-
ration information for the CS8900A, the EE-
PROM is organized in one or more blocks of
16-bit words. The first block in EEPROM, re-
ferred to as the Configuration Block, is used to
configure the CS8900A after reset. An exam-
ple of a typical Configuration Block is shown in
Table 7. Additional blocks containing user data
may be stored in the EEPROM. However, the
Configuration Block must always start at ad-
dress 00h and be stored in contiguous memo-
ry locations.
3.4.3 Reset Configuration Block
The first block in EEPROM, referred to as the
Reset Configuration Block, is used to automat-
ically program the CS8900A with an initial con-
figuration after a reset. Additional user data
may also be stored in the EEPROM if space is
available. The additional data are stored as
16-bit words and can occupy any EEPROM
address space beginning immediately after
the end of the Reset Configuration Block up to
address 7Fh, depending on EEPROM size.
This additional data can only be accessed
through software control (refer to Section 3.5
on page 25 for more information on accessing
