EEPROM Read/Write Access
The EEPROM access registers are accessible in the I/O space.
The write access time is in the range of 2.5 - 35 ms, depending on the V
CC
voltages. A self-timing function lets the user soft-
ware detect when the next byte can be written. A special EEPROM Ready interrupt can be set to trigger when the
EEPROM is ready to accept new data.
In order to prevent unintentional EEPROM writes, a specific write procedure must be followed. Refer to the description of
the EEPROM Control Register for details on this.
When the EEPROM is written, the CPU is halted for two clock cycles before the next instruction is executed. When the
EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles before the next instruction is executed.
EEPROM Address Register – EEARH and EEARL
The EEPROM Address Registers (EEARH and EEARL) specify the EEPROM address in the 512 bytes EEPROM space.
The EEPROM data bytes are addressed linearly between 0 and 511.
EEPROM Data Register – EEDR
•
Bits 7..0 – EEDR7.0: EEPROM Data
For the EEPROM write operation, the EEDR register contains the data to be written to the EEPROM in the address given
by the EEAR register. For the EEPROM read operation, the EEDR contains the data read out from the EEPROM at the
address given by EEAR.
EEPROM Control Register – EECR
•
Bits 7..4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the AT90S8535 and will always read as zero.
•
Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable
When the I bit in SREG and EERIE are set (one), the EEPROM Ready Interrupt is enabled. When cleared (zero), the
interrupt is disabled. The EEPROM Ready interrupt generates a constant interrupt when EEWE is cleared (zero).
•
Bit 2 – EEMWE: EEPROM Master Write Enable
The EEMWE bit determines whether setting EEWE to one causes the EEPROM to be written. When EEMWE is set (one),
setting EEWE will write data to the EEPROM at the selected address. If EEMWE is zero, setting EEWE will have no effect.
When EEMWE has been set (one) by software, hardware clears the bit to zero after four clock cycles. See the description
of the EEWE bit for a EEPROM write procedure.
