Chapter 4 EEPROM Controller
4.1
The device may use an external EEPROM to store the default values for the USB descriptors and the
MAC address. The EEPROM controller supports most 256/512 byte “93C46” type EEPROMs.
Note: A 3-wire style 2k/4k EEPROM that is organized for 256/512 x 8-bit operation must be used.
The MAC address is used as the default Ethernet MAC address and is loaded into the MAC’s ADDRH
and ADDRL registers. If a properly configured EEPROM is not detected, it is the responsibility of the
Host LAN Driver to set the IEEE addresses.
After a system-level reset occurs, the device will load the default values from a properly configured
EEPROM. The device will not accept USB transactions from the Host until this process is completed.
The EEPROM controller also allows the Host system to read, write and erase the contents of the serial
EEPROM.
EEPROM Format
Table 4.1 illustrates the format in which data is stored inside of the EEPROM.
Note the EEPROM offsets are given in units of 16-bit word offsets. A length field with a value of zero
indicates that the field does not exist in the EEPROM. The device will use the field’s HW default value
in this case.
Note: For the device descriptor, the only valid values for the length are 0 and 18.
Note: For the configuration and interface descriptor, the only valid values for the length are 0 and 18.
Note: The EEPROM programmer must ensure that if a string descriptor does not exist in the
EEPROM, the referencing descriptor must contain 00h for the respective string index field.
Note: If all string descriptor lengths are zero, then a Language ID will not be supported.
