10.2.3Microwire EEPROM

Based on the configuration strap eeprom_type_strap, various sized Microwire EEPROMs are supported. The varying size ranges are supported by additional bits in the address field (EPC_ADDRESS) of the EEPROM Command Register (E2P_CMD). Within each size range, the largest EEPROM uses all the address bits, while the smaller EEPROMs treat the upper address bits as don’t cares. The EEPROM controller drives all the address bits as requested regardless of the actual size of the EEPROM. The supported size ranges for Microwire operation are shown in Table 10.3.

10.2.3.1Microwire Master Commands

Table 10.4, Table 10.5, and Table 10.6 detail the Microwire command set, including the number of clock cycles required, for 7, 9, and 11 address bits respectively. These commands are detailed in the following sections as well as in Section 14.2.4.1, "EEPROM Command Register (E2P_CMD)," on page 197.
