Description
Configuration Block Header.
The high byte, A1h, indicates a ‘C46 EEPROM is attached. The Link Byte,
20h, indicates the number of bytes to be used in this block of configuration
data.

CHECKSUM Value
10h
2800h
The high byte, 28h, is the Checksum Value. In this example, the check-
sum includes word addresses 00h through 0Fh. The hexadecimal sum of
the bytes is D8h, resulting in a 2’s complement of 28h. The low byte, 00h,
provides a pad to the word boundary.
* FFFFh is a special code indicating that there are no more words in the EEPROM.
Table 6. EEPROM Configuration Block Example
CS8900A will not attempt to read configuration For example, a Reset Configuration Block header
data from the EEPROM.
of A104h indicates a non-sequential EEPROM pro-
grammed with a Reset Configuration Block con-
taining 4 bytes of configuration data. This Reset
Configuration Block occupies 6 bytes (3 words) of
EEPROM space (2 bytes for the header and 4 bytes
of configuration data).
3.4.3.5 Determining Number of Bytes in the Reset
Configuration Block
The low byte of the Reset Configuration Block
header is known as the link byte. The value of the
Link Byte represents the number of bytes of config-
uration data in the Reset Configuration Block. The
two bytes used for the header are excluded when
calculating the Link Byte value.
3.4.4 Groups of Configuration Data
Configuration data are arranged as groups of
words. Each group contains one or more words of
data that are to be loaded into PacketPage registers.
