EEPROM/Flash Control & Data Register
EECD (00010h; R/W)
This register provides a simplified interface for software accesses to the EEPROM. Software
controls the EEPROM by successive writes to this register.
controls the EEPROM by successive writes to this register.
Data and address information is clocked into the EEPROM by software toggling the EECD.SK bit
(2) of this register with EECD.CS set to 1b.
Data output from the EEPROM is latched into bit 3 of this register and can be accessed by software
through reads of this register.
See
for more detailed EEPROM information.

Clock input to the EEPROM
The EESK output signal is mapped to this bit and provides the
serial clock input to the EEPROM. Software clocks the EEPROM
by means of toggling this bit with successive writes to EECD.

Data output bit from the EEPROM
The EEDO input signal is mapped directly to this bit in the register
and contains the EEPROM data output. This bit is read-only from
the software perspective – writes to this bit have no effect.
