density front-to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future growth. The wide-input
standard product is designed to be deployed internationally. It is configured with both RS485 and dual-redundant I2C communications
busses that allow it to be used in a broad range of applications. These signals and the 5V auxiliary supply are isolated from the main
output and frame ground. Feature set flexibility makes this rectifier an excellent choice for applications requiring modular AC to -
48VDC intermediate voltages, such as in distributed power.

Control and Status
The Rectifier provides three means for monitor/control: analog,
PMBus™, or the GE Galaxy-based RS485 protocol.
Details of analog control and the PMBus™ based protocol are
provided in this data sheet. GE will provide separate application
notes on the Galaxy RS485 based protocol for users to interface
to the rectifier. Contact your local GE representative for details.
Signal Reference
Unless otherwise noted, all signals are referenced to
Logic_GRD. See the Signal Definitions Table at the end of this
document for further description of all the signals.
Logic_GRD is isolated from the main output of the power
supply for PMBus communications. Communications and the
5V standby output are not connected to main power return
(Vout(-)) and can be tied to the system digital ground point
selected by the user. (Note that RS485 communications is
referenced to Vout(-), main power return of the power supply).
Logic_GRD is capacitively coupled to Frame_GRD inside the
power supply. The maximum voltage differential between
Logic_GRD and Frame_GRD should be less than 100VDC.
Control Signals
Enable: Controls the main 54VDC output when either analog
control or PMBus protocols are selected, as configured by the
Protocol pin. This pin must be pulled low to turn ON
the rectifier.
The rectifier will turn OFF if either the Enable or the ON/OFF pin
is released. This signal is referenced to Logic_GRD. In RS485
mode this pin is ignored.
ON/OFF: This is a shorter pin utilized for hot-plug
applications to
ensure that the rectifier turns OFF before the power pins are
disengaged. It also ensures that the rectifier turns ON only
after the power pins have been engaged. Must be connected to
V_OUT ( - ) for the rectifier to be ON.
Margining: The 54VDC output can be adjusted between 44 –
58VDC by a control voltage on the Margin pin. This control
voltage can be generated either from an external voltage source,
or by forming a voltage divider between 3.3V and Logic_GRD, as
shown in Fig. 13. The power supply includes the high side pull-up
10kΩ resistor to 3.3VDC. Connecting a resistor between the
margin pin and Logic_GRD will complete the divider.
An open circuit, or a voltage level > 3.0VDC, on this pin sets the
main output to the factory default setting of 54VDC.
Hardware margining is only effective until software commanded
output voltage changes are not executed. Software commanded
output voltage settings permanently override the hardware
margin setting until power to the internal controller is
interrupted, for example if input power or bias power is
recycled.
The controller always restarts into its default configuration,
programmed to set the output as instructed by the margin pin.
Subsequent software commanded settings permanently override
the margin pin. Adding a resistor between margin and Vout(-) is
an ideal way of changing the factory set point of the rectifier to
whatever voltage level is desired by the user.
Figure 13. Diagram showing how output can be margined
using Vcontrol adjustment.
Module Present Signal: This signal has dual functionality. It can
be used to alert the system when a rectifier is inserted. A
500Ω resistor is present in series between this signal and
Logic_GRD. An external pull-up should not raise the voltage on
the pin above 0.25VDC. When the voltage on this pin exceeds
1VDC, the write_protect feature of the EEPROM is enabled.
8V_INT: Single wire connection between modules, Provides
bias to the DSP of an unpowered module.
Reset: This is a PCA9541 multiplexer function utilized during
PMBus communications. If momentarily grounded (Logic_GRD),
the multiplexer would reset itself.
Protocol: Establishes the communications mode of the
rectifier, between analog/PMBus and RS485 modes. For RS485,
connect a 10kΩ pull-down resistor from this pin to V_OUT( - ). For
analog/PMBus leave the pin open. Do not tie this signal pin to
V_OUT( - ) because that connection configures the internal DSP
into a reprogrammed state.
Unit Address: Each module has an internal 10kΩ resistor
pulled up between unit_address and 3.3VDC. A resistor
between unit_address and Vout(-) sets the appropriate unit
address.

Shelf Address: By applying the required voltage between the
shelf address pin and Vout(-), up to 8 different shelves and so up
to 32 different modules can be addressed using either the
PMBus or GE Galaxy based RS485 protocol.
PMBus addressing is limited to a maximum of 8 modules and so
the software decodes the shelf address setting into either shelf
0 or shelf 1 in PMBus applications. If more than two shelves are
paralleled, the user must separate the I2C lines so that address
conflicts do not occur.

Status Signals
Power Capacity: A HI on this pin indicates that the rectifier
delivers high line rated output power; a LO indicates that the
rectifier is connected to low line configured for 1200W
operation.
Power Fail Warning: This signal is HI when the main output is
being delivered and goes LO for the duration listed in this data
sheet prior to the output decaying below the listed voltage level.
Fault: This signal goes LO for any failure that requires rectifier
replacement. These faults may be due to:
• Fan failure
• Over-temperature warning
• Over-temperature shutdown
• Over-voltage shutdown
• Internal Rectifier Fault
Digital Feature Descriptions
PMBus™ compliance: The power supply is fully compliant to
the Power Management Bus (PMBus™) rev1.2 requirements
with the following exceptions:
The power supply continuously updates its STATUS and ALARM
registers to the latest state in order to capture the ‘present’ state
of the power supply. There are a number of indicators, such as
those indicating a communications fault (PEC error, data error)
that do not get cleared until specifically instructed by the host
controller sending a clear_faults command. A ‘bit’ indicator
notifies the user if the STATUS and ALARM registers changed
since the last ‘read’ by the host controller.
For example, if a voltage surge causes a momentary shutdown for
over voltage the power supply will automatically restart if the
‘auto_restart’ feature is invoked. During the momentary
shutdown the power supply issues an Alert# indicating to the
system controller that a status change has occurred. If the system
controller reads back the STATUS and ALARM registers while the
power supply is shut down it will get the correct fault condition.
However, inquiry of the state of the power supply after the
restart event would indicate that the power supply is functioning
correctly. The STATUS and ALARM indicators
did not
freeze at the
original shutdown state and so the reason for the original Alert# is
erased. The restart ‘bit’ would be set to indicate that an event has
occurred.
The power supply also clears the STATUS and ALARM registers
after a successful read back of the information in these registers,
with the exception of communications error alarms. This
automated process improves communications efficiency since
the host controller does not have to issue another clear_faults
command to clear these registers.
Dual, redundant buses: Two independent I2C lines provide true
communications bus redundancy and allow two independent
controllers to sequentially control the power supply. For example,
a short or an open connection in one of the I2C lines does not
affect communications capability on the other I2C line. Failure of a
‘master’ controller does not affect the power supplies and the
second ‘master’ can take over control at any time.
Using the PCA9541 multiplexer: Transition between the two
I2C lines is provided by the industry standard PCA9541 I2C
master selector multiplexer. Option 01 of the device code is
supplied which, upon start-up, connects channel 0 to the
power supply. In this fashion applications using only a single I2C
line can immediately start talking across the bus without first
requiring to reconfigure the multiplexer.
Figure 14. Diagram showing conceptual representation of
the dual I2C bus system.
Control can be taken over at any time by a specific ‘master’
even during data transmission to the other ‘master’. The
‘master’ needs to be able to handle incomplete transmissions
in the multi-master environment in case switching should
commence in the middle of data transmission.
Master/Slave: The ‘host controller’ is always the MASTER.
Power supplies are always SLAVES. SLAVES cannot initiate
communications or toggle the Clock. SLAVES also must
respond expeditiously at the command of the MASTER as
required by the clock pulses generated by the MASTER.
Clock stretching: The power supply may initiate clock stretching
if it is busy. The ‘slave’ may keep the clock LO until it is ready to
receive instructions. The maximum clock stretch interval is 25ms.
The host needs to refrain from issuing the next clock signal
until the clock is released, or it needs to delay the next clock
pulse beyond the clock stretch interval of the power supply.
Note that clock stretching occurs after the 9th (ACK) bit, the
exception being the START command.

Data Sheet
Communications speed: Both 100kHz and 400kHz clock rates are
supported. The power supplies default to the 100kHz clock rate.
Packet Error Checking: The power supply will not respond to
commands without the trailing PEC. The integrity of
communications is compromised if packet error correction is not
employed. There are many functional features, including turning
OFF the main output, that require validation to ensure that the
correct command is executed.
PEC is a CRC-8 error-checking byte, based on the polynomial
C(x) = x8 + x2 + x + 1, in compliance with PMBus™
requirements. The calculation is based in all message bytes,
including the originating write address and command bytes
preceding read instructions. The PEC is appended to the
message by the device that supplied the last byte.
SMBusAlert#: The power supply can issue SMBAlert# driven
from either its internal micro controller (µC) or from the
PCA9541 I2C bus master selector. That is, the SMBAlert# signal of
the internal µC funnels through the PCA9541
master selector
that buffers the SMBAlert# signal and splits the signal to the two
SMBAlert# signal pins exiting the power supply. In addition, the
PCA9541 signals its own SMBAlert# request to either of the two
SMBAlert# signals when required.
Non-supported commands: Non supported commands are
flagged by setting the appropriate STATUS bit and issuing an
SMBAlert# to the ‘host’ controller.
Data out-of-range: The power supply validates data settings and
sets the data out-of-range bit and SMBAlert# if the data is not
within acceptable range.
SMBAlert# triggered by the µC: The µC driven SMBAlert# signal
informs the ‘master/host’ controller that either a
STATE or
ALARM change has occurred. Normally this signal is HI. The signal
will change to its LO level if the power supply has changed states
and the signal will be latched LO until
the
power supply receives a
‘clear’ instruction as outlined below. If the alarm state is still
present after the ‘clear_faults’ command has been received, then
the signal will revert back into its LO level again and will latch
until a subsequent ‘clear’ signal is received from the host
controller.
The signal will be triggered for any state change, including the
following conditions;
• VIN under or over voltage
• Vout under or over voltage
• IOUT over current
• Over Temperature warning or fault
• Fan Failure
• Communication error
• PEC error
• Invalid command
• Internal faults
The power supply will clear the SMBusAlert# signal (release the
signal to its HI state) upon the following events:
• Completion of a ‘read_status’ instruction
• Receiving a CLEAR_FAULTS command
• The main output recycled (turned OFF and then ON) via
the ENABLE signal pin
• The main output recycled (turned OFF and then ON) by the
OPERATION command
SMBAlert# triggered by the PCA9541: If clearing the Alert# signal
via the clear_faults or read back fails, then reading back the
Alert# status of the PCA9541 will be necessary followed by
clearing of the PCA9541 Alert#.
The PCA9541 can issue an Alert# even when single bus operation
is selected where the bus master selector has not been used or
addressed. This may occur because the default state of the
PCA9541/01 integrated circuit issues Alert# to both i2C lines for all
possible transitioning states of the device. For example, a RESET
caused by a glitch would cause the Alert# to be active.
If the PCA9541 is not going to be used in a specific application
(such as when only a single I2C line is utilized), it is imperative
that interrupts from the PCA9541 are de-activated by the host
controller. To de-activate the interrupt registers the PCA9541 the
‘master’ needs to address the PCA9541 in the ‘write’ mode, the
interrupt enable (IE) register needs to be accessed and the
interrupt masks have to be set to HI ‘1’. (Note: do not mask bit
0 which transmits Alert# from the power supply). This command
setting the interrupt enable register of the PCA9541 is shown
below;

There are two independent interrupt enable (IE) registers, one
for each controller channel (I2C-0 and I2C-1). The interrupt
register of each channel needs to be configured independently.
That is, channel I2C-0 cannot configure the IE register of I2C-1 or
vise-versa.
This command has to be initiated to the PC9541 only once
after application of power to the device. However, every time a
restart occurs the PCA9541 has to be reconfigured since its
default state is to issue Alert# for changes to its internal status.
If the application did not configure the interrupt enable register
the Alert# line can be cleared (de-activated), if it has been
activated by the PCA9541, by reading back the data from the
interrupt status registers (Istat).
Refer to the PCA9541 data sheet for further information on
how to communicate to the PCA9541 multiplexer.
Please note that the PCA9541 does not support Packet Error
Checking (PEC).
Re-initialization: The I2C code is programmed to re-initialize if no
activity is detected on the bus for 5 seconds. Re- initialization is
designed to guarantee that the I2C µController does not hang up
the bus. Although this rate is longer than the timing
requirements specified in the SMBus specification, it

had to be extended in order to ensure that a re-initialization
would not occur under normal transmission rates. During the
few µseconds required to accomplish re-initialization the I2C
µController may not recognize a command sent to it. (i.e. a
start condition).
Global broadcast: This is a powerful command because it can
instruct all power supplies to respond simultaneously in one
command. But it does have a serious disadvantage. Only a single
power supply needs to pull down the ninth acknowledge bit. To
be certain that each power supply responded to the global
instruction, a READ instruction should be executed to each power
supply to verify that the command properly executed. The
GLOBAL BROADCAST command should only be executed for write
instructions to slave devices.
Note: The PCA9541 i2c master selector does not respond to the
GLOBAL BROADCAST command.
Read back delay: The power supply issues the SMBAlert #
notification as soon as the first state change occurred. During an
event a number of different states can be transitioned to before
the final event occurs. If a read back is implemented rapidly by
the host a successive SMBAlert# could be triggered by the
transitioning state of the power supply. In order to avoid
successive SMBAlert# s and read back and also to avoid reading a
transitioning state, it is prudent to wait more than 2 seconds after
the receipt of an SMBAlert# before executing a read back. This
delay will ensure that only the final state of the power supply is
captured.
Successive read backs: Successive read backs to the power
supply should not be attempted at intervals faster than every
one second. This time interval is sufficient for the internal
processors to update their data base so that successive reads
provide fresh data.
Device ID: Address bits A2, A1, A0 set the specific address of
the power supply. The least significant bit x (LSB) of the address
byte configures write [0] or read [1] events. In a write
command the system instructs the power supply. In a read
command information is being accessed from the power
supply.

the STATUS registers, these include:
• Isolation OK
• Isolation test failed
• Restarted OK
• Invalid command
• Invalid data

Vout_Command (21h) : This command is used to change the
output voltage of the power supply. Changing the output
voltage should be performed simultaneously to all power
supplies operating in parallel using the Global Address
(Broadcast) feature. If only a single power supply is instructed to
change its output, it may attempt to source all the required
power which can cause either a power limit or shutdown
condition.
Software programming of output voltage overrides the set
point voltage configured during power_up. The program no
longer looks at the ‘margin pin’ and will not respond to any
hardware voltage setting. The default state cannot be accessed
any longer unless power is removed from the DSP.
To properly hot-plug a power supply into a live backplane, the
system generated voltage should get re-configured into either
the factory adjusted firmware level or the voltage level
reconfigured by the margin pin. Otherwise, the voltage
state of
the plugged in power supply could be significantly different than
the powered system.

The constants for voltage programming are: m = 400, b and R

0 x D44Eh.
Vout_OV_fault_limit (40h) : This command sets the Output

Manufacturer-Specific PMBusTM Commands
Many of the
manufacturer-specific
commands read back more
than two bytes. If more than two bytes of data are returned,
the standard SMBusTM Block read is utilized. In this process, the
Master issues a Write command followed by the data transfer
from the power supply. The first byte of the Block Read data field
sends back in hex format the number of data bytes, exclusive of
the PEC number, that follows. Analog data
is always
transmitted
LSB followed by MSB. A No-ack following the PEC byte signifies
that the transmission is complete and is being terminated by the
‘host’.
Read_status (D0h) : This ‘manufacturer specific’ command is the
basic read back returning STATUS and ALARM
register data,
output voltage, output current, and internal temperature data in
a single read.

LEDS test ON (D2h) : Will turn-ON simultaneously the four front
panel LEDs of the Power supply sequentially 7 seconds ON and 2
seconds OFF until instructed to turn OFF. The intent of this
function is to provide visual identification of the power supply
being talked to and also to visually verify that the LEDs operate
and driven properly by the micro controller.
LEDS test OFF (D3h) : Will turn-OFF simultaneously the four
front panel LEDs of the Power supply.
Service LED ON (D4h) : Requests the power supply to flash-ON
the Service (ok-to-remove) LED. The flash sequence is
approximately 0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF.
Service LED OFF (D5h) : Requests the power supply to turn OFF
the Service (ok-to-remove) LED.
Enable write (D6h) : This command enables write permissions
into the upper ¼ of memory locations for the external
EEPROM. A write into these locations is normally disabled until
commanded through I2C to permit writing into the protected
area. A delay of about 10ms is required from the time the
instruction is requested to the time that the power supply
actually completes the instruction.
See the FRU-ID section for further information of content
written into the EEPROM at the factory.
Disable write (D7h) : This command disables write permissions
into the upper ¼ of memory locations for the external
EEPROM.
Unit in Power Limit or in Current Limit: When output voltage is
> 36VDC the Output LED will continue blinking.
When output voltage is < 36VDC, if the unit is in the RESTART
mode, it goes into a hiccup. When the unit is ON the output
LED is ON, when the unit is OFF the output LED is OFF.
When the unit is in latched shutdown the output LED is OFF.
Inhibit_restart (D8h) : The Inhibit-restart command directs the
power supply to remain latched off for over_voltage,
over_temperature and over_current. The command needs to
be sent to the power supply only once. The power supply will
remember the INHIBIT instruction as long as internal bias is
active.
Restart after a lachoff: To restart after a latch_off either of four
restart mechanisms are available. The hardware pin Enable may
be turned OFF and then ON. The unit may be commanded to
restart via i2c through the Operation command by first turning
OFF then turning ON . The third way to restart is to remove and
reinsert the unit. The fourth way is to turn OFF and then turn ON
ac power to the unit. The fifth
way is by changing firmware from latch off to restart. Each of
these commands must keep the power supply in the OFF state
for at least 2 seconds, with the exception of changing to restart.
A successful restart shall clear all alarm registers, set the
restarted successful bit of the Status_2 register.
A power system that is comprised of a number of power supplies
could have difficulty restarting after a shutdown event because of
the non-synchronized behavior of the individual power supplies.
Implementing the latch-off mechanism
permits a synchronized restart that guarantees the
simultaneous restart of the entire system.
A synchronous restart can be implemented by;
1. Issuing a GLOBAL OFF and then ON command to all power
supplies,
2. Toggling Off and then ON the ENABLE signal
3. Removing and reapplying input commercial power to the
entire system.
The power supplies should be turned OFF for at least 20 – 30
seconds in order to discharge all internal bias supplies and
reset the soft start circuitry of the individual power supplies.
Auto_restart (D9h) : Auto-restart is the default configuration for
overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature shutdowns.
However, overvoltage has a unique limitation. An overvoltage
shutdown is followed by three attempted restarts, each restart
delayed 1 second, within a 1 minute window. If within the 1
minute window three attempted restarts failed, the unit will latch
OFF. If within the 1 minute less than 3 shutdowns occurred then
the count for latch OFF resets and the 1 minute window starts all
over again.
This command resets the power supply into the default auto-
restart configuration.
Isolation test (DAh): This command verifies functioning of
output OR’ing. At least two paralleled power supplies are
required. The host should verify that N+1 redundancy is
established. If N+1 redundancy is not established the test can
fail. Only one power supply should be tested at a time.

Verifying test completion should be delayed for approximately
30 seconds to allow the power supply sufficient time to
properly execute the test.
Failure of the isolation test is not considered a power supply
FAULT because the N+1 redundancy requirement cannot be
verified. The user must determine whether a true isolation fault
indeed exists.
Read input string (DCh) : Reads back the input voltage and input
power consumed by the power supply. In order to improve the
resolution of the input voltage reading the data is shifted by 75V.
Fan_speed_set (DFh) : This command instructs the power
supply to increase the speed of the fan. The transmitted data
byte represents the hex equivalent of the duty cycle in
percentage, i.e. 100% = 0 x 64h. The command can only
increase fan speed, it cannot instruct the power supply to
reduce the fan speed below what the power supply requires for
internal control.
Fan_normal_speed (E0h): This command returns fan control to
the power supply. It does not require a trailing data byte.
Read_Fan_speed (E1h) : Returns the commanded fan speed in
percent and the measured fan speed in RPM from
the individual
fans. Up to 3 fans are supported. If a fan does not exist (units
may contain from 1 to 3 fans), or if the command is
not supported the unit return 0x00.

For example; the read returns one byte for each device (i.e. 0 x

0x00 in the first byte indicates that revision information for the
primary micro is not supported. The number 21 for the DSP
indicates revision 2.1, and the number 14 for the i2c micro
indicates revision 1.4.
Read_run_timer [0 x DE]: This command reads back the
operational ON state in hours. The operational ON state is
accumulated from the time the power supply is initially
programmed at the factory. The operational ON state includes
standby and delivery of main output power. Recorded
capacity is approximately 10 years.
Stretch_LO_25ms (E2h) : Command used for production test of
the clock stretch feature.
None supported commands or invalid data: The power supply
notifies the MASTER if a non-supported command has been
sent or invalid data has been received. Notification is
implemented by setting the appropriate STATUS and ALARM
registers and setting the SMBAlert# flag.
Fault Management
The power supply records faults in the STATUS and ALARM
registers above and notifies the MASTER controller as
described in the Alarm Notification section of the non-
conforming event.
The STATUS and ALARM registers are continuously
updated with
the latest event registered by the rectifier monitoring circuits. A
host responding to an SMBusALERT# signal may receive a
different state of the rectifier if the state has changed from the
time the SMBusALERT# has been triggered by the rectifier.
The power supply differentiates between internal faults that are
within the power supply and external faults that the power
supply protects itself from, such as overload or input voltage out
of limits. The FAULT LED, FAULT PIN or i2c alarm is not asserted
for EXTERNAL FAULTS. Every attempt is made to annunciate
External Faults. Some of these annunciations can be observed by
looking at the input LEDs. These fault categorizations are
predictive in nature and therefore there is a likelihood that a
categorization may not have been made correctly.
Input voltage out of range: The Input LED will continue
blinking as long as sufficient power is available to power the

LED. If the input voltage is completely gone the Input LED is
OFF.
tate Change Definition
A state_change is an indication that an event has occurred
that the MASTER should be aware of. The following events
shall trigger a state_change;
• Initial power-up of the system when AC gets turned ON .
This is the indication from the rectifier that it has been
turned ON. Note that the master needs to read the status of
each power supply to reset the system_interrupt. If the
power supply is back-biased through the 8V_INT or the
5VSTB it will not issue an SMBALERT# when AC power is
turned back ON.
• Whenever the power supply gets hot-plugged into a
working system. This is the indicator to the system
(MASTER) that a new power supply is on line.
• Any changes in the bit patterns of the STATUS and ALARM
registers are a STATUS change which triggers the
SMBALERT# flag. Note that a host-issued command such as
CLEAR_FAULTS will not trigger an SMB
Hot plug procedures
Careful system control is recommended when hot plugging a
power supply into a live system. It takes about 15 seconds for a
power supply to configure its address on the bus based on the
analog voltage levels present on the backplane. If
communications are not stopped during this interval, multiple
power supplies may respond to specific instructions because the
address of the hot plugged power supply always defaults to
xxxx000 (depending on which device is being addressed within
the power supply) until the power supply configures its address.
The recommended procedure for hot plug is the following: The
system controller should be told which power supply is to be
removed. The controller turns the service LED ON, thus informing
the installer that the identified power supply can be removed
from the system. The system controller should then poll the
module_present signal to verify when the power
supply is re-inserted. It should time out for 15 seconds after
this signal is verified. At the end of the time out all
communications can resume.
Predictive Failures
Alarm warnings that do not cause a shutdown are
indicators of
potential future failures of the power supply. For example, if a
thermal sensor failed, a warning is issued but an immediate
shutdown of the power supply is not warranted.
Another example of potential predictive failure mechanisms can
be derived from information such as fan speed when multiple
fans are used in the same power supply. If the speed
of the fans varies by more than 20% from each other, this is an
indication of an impending fan wear out.
The goal is to identify problems early before a protective
shutdown would occur that would take the power supply out of
service.
External EEPROM
A 64k-bit EEPROM is provided across the I2C bus. This EEPROM is
used for both storing FRU_ID information and for providing a
scratchpad memory function for customer use.
Functionally the EEPROM is equivalent to the ST M34D64 part
that has its memory partitioned into a write protected upper ¼ of
memory space and the lower ¾ section that cannot be protected.
FRU_ID is written into the write protected portion of memory.
Write protect feature: Writing into the upper 1/4 of memory
can be accomplished either by hardware or software.
The power supply pulls down the write_protect (Wp) pin to
ground via a 500Ω resistor between the ‘module_present’
signal pin and Logic_GRD (see the Module Present Signal
section of Input Signals). Writing into the upper ¼ of memory
can be accomplished by pulling HI the module_present pin.
An alternative, and the recommended approach, is to issue the
Enable_write command via software.
Page implementation: The external EEPROM is partitioned into
32 byte pages. For a write operation only the starting
address is
required. The device automatically increments the memory
address for each byte of additional data it receives.
However, if
the 32 byte limit is exceeded the device executes a wrap- around
that will start rewriting from the first address specified. Thus byte
33 will replace the first byte written, byte 34 the second byte and
so on. One needs to be careful therefore not to exceed the 32
byte page limitation of the device.
