PIROM and Scratch EEPROM Supported SMBus
Transactions
The Processor Information ROM (PIROM) responds to two SMBus packet types: Read
Byte and Write Byte. However, since the PIROM is write-protected, it will acknowledge a
Write Byte command but ignore the data. The Scratch EEPROM responds to Read Byte
and Write Byte commands.

diagrams the Write Byte command. Following a write cycle to the scratch ROM,
software must allow a minimum of 10 ms before accessing either ROM of the processor.

In the tables, ‘S’ represents the SMBus start bit, ‘P’ represents a stop bit, ‘R’ represents
a read bit, ‘W’ represents a write bit, ‘A’ represents an acknowledge (ACK), and ‘///’
represents a negative acknowledge (NACK). The shaded bits are transmitted by the
Processor Information ROM or Scratch EEPROM, and the bits that aren’t shaded are
transmitted by the SMBus host controller. In the tables, the data addresses indicate 8
bits. The SMBus host controller should transmit 8 bits with the most significant bit
indicating which section of the EEPROM is to be addressed: the Processor Information
ROM (MSB = 0) or the Scratch EEPROM (MSB = 1).
