INFORMATION BLOCK WORDS

Two words in the information blocks are dedicated to hold
settings that affect the operation of the system: the Function
Word in Information Block 0 and the Protection Word in In-
formation Block 1.

8.4.1

Function Word

The Function Word resides in the Information Block 0 at ad-
dress 07Eh. At reset, the Function Word is copied into the
FMAR0 register.

USB_ENABLE The USB_ENABLE bit can be used to force

an external USB transceiver into its low-power
mode. The power mode is dependent on the
USB controller status, the USB_ENABLE bit
in the MCFG register (see Section 7.1), and
the USB_ENABLE bit in the Function Word.
0

External USB transceiver forced into low-
power mode.

1

Transceiver power mode dependent on
USB controller status and programming
of the Function Word.

8.4.2

Protection Word

The Protection Word resides in Information Block 1 at ad-
dress 0FEh. At reset, the Protection Word is copied into the
FMAR1 register.

BOOTAREA The BOOTAREA field specifies the size of the

Boot Area. The Boot Area starts at address 0
and ends at the address specified by this field.
The inverted bits of the BOOTAREA field
count the number of 2048-byte blocks to be
reserved as the Boot Area. The maximum
Boot Area size is 30K bytes (address range 0
to 77FFh). The end of the Boot Area defines
the start of the Code Area. If the device starts
in ISP mode and there is no Boot Area defined
(encoding 1111b), the device is kept in reset.

Table 14 lists all possible boot area encod-
ings.

EMPTY

The EMPTY field indicates whether the flash
program memory has been programmed or
should be treated as blank. If a majority of the
three EMPTY bits are clear, the flash program
memory is treated as programmed. If a major-
ity of the EMPTY bits are set, the flash pro-
gram memory is treated as empty. If the
ENV[1:0] inputs (see Section 6.1) are sam-
pled high at reset and the EMPTY bits indicate
the flash program memory is empty, the de-
vice will begin execution in ISP mode. The de-
vice enters ISP mode without regard to the
EMPTY status if ENV0 is driven low and
ENV1 is driven high.

ISPE

The ISPE field indicates whether the Boot
Area is used to hold In-System-Programming
routines or user application routines. If a ma-
jority of the three ISPE bits are set, the Boot
Area is intended to store ISP routines. If ma-
jority of the ISPE bits are clear, the Boot Area
holds user application routines. Table 15 sum-
marizes all possible EMPTY, ISPE, and Boot
Area settings and the corresponding start-up
operation for each combination. In DEV
mode, the EMPTY bit settings are ignored and
the CPU always starts executing from address
0.
