9.0 PRE-PROGRAMMED EUI-48™
NODE ADDRESS
The 24AAXXXE48 is programmed at the factory with a
globally unique, EUI-48™ and EUI-64™ compatible
node address stored in the upper half of the array and
permanently write-protected. The remaining 1,024 bits
are available for application use.

The 6-byte EUI-48 node address value is stored in
array locations 0xFA through 0xFF, as shown in
Figure 9-2. The first 3 bytes are the Organizationally
Unique Identifier (OUI) assigned to Microchip by the
IEEE Registration Authority. Microchip’s OUI is
0x0004A3. The remaining 3 bytes are the Extension
Identifier, and are generated by Microchip to ensure a
globally-unique, 48-bit value.
9.1 EUI-64™ Support
The pre-programmed EUI-48 node address can easily
be encapsulated at the application level to form a glob-
ally unique, 64-bit node address for systems utilizing
the EUI-64 standard. This is done by adding 0xFFFE
between the OUI and the Extension Identifier, as
shown below.
