UPDATING THE SEQUENCING ENGINE
Sequencing engine (SE) functions are not updated in the same
way as regular configuration latches. The SE has its own dedicated
512-byte EEPROM for storing state definitions, providing
63 individual states, each with a 64-bit word (one state is reserved).
At power-up, the first state is loaded from the SE EEPROM into
the engine itself. When the conditions of this state are met, the
next state is loaded from the EEPROM into the engine, and so on.
The loading of each new state takes approximately 10 μs.
To alter a state, the required changes must be made directly to
the EEPROM. RAM for each state does not exist. The relevant
alterations must be made to the 64-bit word, which is then
uploaded directly to the EEPROM.
INTERNAL REGISTERS
The ADM1068 contains a large number of data registers. The
principal registers are the address pointer register and the
configuration registers.
Address Pointer Register
The address pointer register contains the address that selects
one of the other internal registers. When writing to the
ADM1068, the first byte of data is always a register address that
is written to the address pointer register.
Configuration Registers
The configuration registers provide control and configuration
for various operating parameters of the ADM1068.
EEPROM
The ADM1068 has two 512-byte cells of nonvolatile, electrically
erasable, programmable, read-only memory (EEPROM), from
Register Address 0xF800 to Register Address 0xFBFF. The
EEPROM is used for permanent storage of data that is not lost
when the ADM1068 is powered down. One EEPROM cell contains
the configuration data of the device; the other contains the state
definitions for the SE. Although referred to as read-only memory,
the EEPROM can be written to, as well as read from, using the
serial bus in exactly the same way as the other registers.
The major differences between the EEPROM and other
registers are as follows:
An EEPROM location must be blank before it can be
written to. If it contains data, the data must first be erased.
Writing to the EEPROM is slower than writing to the RAM.
Writing to the EEPROM should be restricted because it has
a limited write/cycle life of typically 10,000 write operations
due to the usual EEPROM wear-out mechanisms.
The first EEPROM is split into 16 (0 to 15) pages of 32 bytes
each. Page 0 to Page 6, starting at Address 0xF800, hold the
configuration data for the applications on the ADM1068 (such
as the SFDs and PDOs). These EEPROM addresses are the same
as the RAM register addresses, prefixed by F8. Page 7 is reserved.
Page 8 to Page 15 are for customer use.
Data can be downloaded from the EEPROM to the RAM in one
of the following ways:
At power-up, when Page 0 to Page 6 are downloaded.
By setting Bit 0 of the UDOWNLD register (0xD8), which
performs a user download of Page 0 to Page 6.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
The ADM1068 is controlled via the serial system management
bus (SMBus) and is connected to this bus as a slave device under
the control of a master device. It takes approximately 1 ms after
power-up for the ADM1068 to download from its EEPROM.
Therefore, access to the ADM1068 is restricted until the download
is complete.
Identifying the ADM1068 on the SMBus
The ADM1068 has a 7-bit serial bus slave address (see Table 9).
The device is powered up with a default serial bus address. The
five MSBs of the address are set to 10001; the two LSBs are
determined by the logical states of Pin A1 and Pin A0. This
allows the connection of four ADM1068 devices to one SMBus.

General SMBus Timing
Figure 25, Figure 26, and Figure 27 are timing diagrams for
general read and write operations using the SMBus. The SMBus
specification defines specific conditions for different types of
read and write operations, which are discussed in the Write
Operations and Read Operations sections.
The general SMBus protocol operates as follows:
Step 1
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start condition,
defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial data (SDA) line,
while the serial clock line (SCL) remains high. This indicates that a
data stream follows. All slave peripherals connected to the serial
bus respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight bits,
consisting of a 7-bit slave address (MSB first) plus an R/W bit.
This bit determines the direction of the data transfer, that is,
whether data is written to or read from the slave device (0 = write,
1 = read).
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the data line low during the low
period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the acknowledge
bit, and by holding it low during the high period of this clock pulse.
All other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected device
waits for data to be read from or written to it. If the R/W bit is a 0,
the master writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the
master reads from the slave device.
Step 2
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock pulses,
eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit from the slave
device. Data transitions on the data line must occur during the
low period of the clock signal and remain stable during the high
period because a low-to-high transition when the clock is high
could be interpreted as a stop signal. If the operation is a write
operation, the first data byte after the slave address is a command
byte. This command byte tells the slave device what to expect next.
It may be an instruction telling the slave device to expect a block
write, or it may be a register address that tells the slave where
subsequent data is to be written. Because data can flow in only
one direction, as defined by the R/W bit, sending a command to
a slave device during a read operation is not possible. Before a read
operation, it may be necessary to perform a write operation to
tell the slave what sort of read operation to expect and the address
from which data is to be read.
Step 3
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions
are established. In write mode, the master pulls the data line
high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop condition. In
read mode, the master device releases the SDA line during the
low period before the ninth clock pulse, but the slave device
does not pull it low. This is known as a no acknowledge. The
master then takes the data line low during the low period before
the 10th clock pulse and then high during the 10th clock pulse
to assert a stop condition.
SCL Held Low Timeout
If the bus master holds the SCL low for a time that is a multiple
of approximately 30 ms, the ADM1068 bus interface may timeout.
If this timeout happens, the in progress transaction is NACKed,
and the transaction must be repeated. This behavior is only seen
if the I2C bus master is interrupted midtransaction by a higher
priority task that delays completion of the transaction.
False Start Detection
The data hold time specification defines the time that data must
be valid on the SDA line, following an SCL falling edge. If there
are multiple ADM1068 devices on the same bus, one of the
ADM1068 devices may see the SCL/SDA transition due to an
acknowledge (ACK) from a different device as a start condition
because of internal timing skew, which for most transactions,
this is not an issue. In a case where the data appearing on the
bus after the false start is detected happens to match the address
of another ADM1068 on the bus, that device may incorrectly ACK.
A bus master may see this ACK as another bus master talking
on the bus, halt the bus transaction, and not produce any more
clocks on the SCL. As a result, the ADM1068 device that
incorrectly ACKed continues to hold down the SDA line low.
To retry the halted bus transaction, the bus master performs a
clock flush on the SCL by sending a series of up to 16 clock pulses.
The clock flush forces the ADM1068 to release the SDA line.

ADM1068
Data Sheet
The ADM1068 contains volatile registers (RAM) and nonvolatile
registers (EEPROM). User RAM occupies Address 0x00 to
Address 0xDF; the EEPROM occupies Address 0xF800 to
Address 0xFBFF.
Data can be written to and read from both the RAM and the
EEPROM as single data bytes. Data can be written only to
unprogrammed EEPROM locations. To write new data to a
programmed location, the location contents must first be erased.
EEPROM erasure cannot be done at the byte level. The EEPROM
is arranged as 32 pages of 32 bytes each, and an entire page
must be erased.
Page erasure is enabled by setting Bit 2 in the UPDCFG register
(Address 0x90) to 1. If this bit is not set, page erasure cannot
occur, even if the command byte (0xFE) is programmed across
the SMBus.
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different
types of read and write operations. The following abbreviations
are used in Figure 28 to Figure 36:
S = Start
P = Stop
R = Read
W = Write
A = Acknowledge
A = No acknowledge
The ADM1068 uses the following SMBus write protocols.
Send Byte
In a send byte operation, the master device sends a single
command byte to a slave device, as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge (ACK)
on SDA.
The master sends a command code.
The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the
transaction ends.
In the ADM1068, the send byte protocol is used for two
purposes:
To write a register address to the RAM for a subsequent
single byte read from the same address, or for a block read or
a block write starting at that address, as shown in Figure 28.

The master sends a command code telling the slave device
to erase the page. The ADM1068 command code for a page
erasure is 0xFE (1111 1110). Note that for a page erasure to
take place, the page address must be given in the previous
write word transaction (see the Write Byte/Word section). In
addition, Bit 2 in the UPDCFG register (Address 0x90)
must be set to 1.

WRITE OPERATIONS
To erase a page of EEPROM memory. EEPROM memory
can be written to only if it is unprogrammed. Before writing
to one or more EEPROM memory locations that are already
programmed, the page(s) containing those locations must
first be erased. EEPROM memory is erased by writing a
command byte.

As soon as the ADM1068 receives the command byte,
page erasure begins. The master device can send a stop
command as soon as it sends the command byte. Page
erasure takes approximately 20 ms. If the ADM1068 is
accessed before erasure is complete, it responds with a no
acknowledge (NACK).

ADM1068
Write Byte/Word
Block Write
In a write byte/word operation, the master device sends a
command byte and one or two data bytes to the slave device, as
follows:
In a block write operation, the master device writes a block of
data to a slave device. The start address for a block write must
have been set previously. In the ADM1068, a send byte operation sets a RAM address, and a write byte/word operation sets
an EEPROM address, as follows:
1.
2.
The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code.
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master sends a data byte.
7. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
8. The master sends a data byte or asserts a stop condition.
9. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.
In the ADM1068, the write byte/word protocol is used for three
purposes:
To write a single byte of data to the RAM. In this case, the
command byte is RAM Address 0x00 to RAM Address
0xDF, and the only data byte is the actual data, as shown in
Figure 30.
The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by
the write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code that tells the slave
device to expect a block write. The ADM1068 command
code for a block write is 0xFC (1111 1100).
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master sends a data byte that tells the slave device how
many data bytes are being sent. The SMBus specification
allows a maximum of 32 data bytes in a block write.
7. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
8. The master sends N data bytes.
9. The slave asserts ACK on SDA after each data byte.
10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.

Because a page consists of 32 bytes, only the three MSBs of
the address low byte are important for page erasure. The
lower five bits of the EEPROM address low byte specify the
addresses within a page and are ignored during an erase
operation.
To write a single byte of data to the EEPROM. In this case, the
command byte is the high byte of EEPROM Address 0xF8
to EEPROM Address 0xFB. The first data byte is the low
byte of the EEPROM address, and the second data byte is
the actual data, as shown in Figure 32.

There must be at least N locations from the start address to
the highest EEPROM address (0xFBFF) to avoid writing to
invalid addresses.
An address crosses a page boundary. In this case, both
pages must be erased before programming.
Note that the ADM1068 features a clock extend function for
writes to the EEPROM. Programming an EEPROM byte takes
approximately 250 μs, which limits the SMBus clock for repeated
or block write operations. The ADM1068 pulls SCL low and
extends the clock pulse when it cannot accept any
more data.

Block Read
In a block read operation, the master device reads a block of

have been set previously. In the ADM1068, this is done by a
send byte operation to set a RAM address, or a write byte/word
operation to set an EEPROM address. The block read operation
itself consists of a send byte operation that sends a block read
command to the slave, immediately followed by a repeated start
and a read operation that reads out multiple data bytes, as follows:

Error Correction
The ADM1068 provides the option of issuing a packet error
correction (PEC) byte after a write to the RAM, a write to the
EEPROM, a block write to the RAM/EEPROM, or a block read
from the RAM/EEPROM. This option enables the user to verify
that the data received by or sent from the ADM1068 is correct.
The PEC byte is an optional byte sent after that last data byte has
been written to or read from the ADM1068. The protocol is the
same as a block read for Step 1 to Step 12 and then proceeds as
follows:
In the ADM1068, the receive byte protocol is used to read a
single byte of data from a RAM or EEPROM location whose
address has previously been set by a send byte or write
byte/word operation, as shown in Figure 34.

The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
The master sends a command code that tells the slave
device to expect a block read. The ADM1068 command
code for a block read is 0xFD (1111 1101).
The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
The master asserts a repeat start condition on SDA.
The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
read bit (high).
The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
The ADM1068 sends a byte-count data byte that tells the
master how many data bytes to expect. The ADM1068
always returns 32 data bytes (0x20), which is the maximum
allowed by the SMBus 1.1 specification.
13. The ADM1063 issues a PEC byte to the master. The master
checks the PEC byte and issues another block read, if the
PEC byte is incorrect.
14. A no acknowledge (NACK) is generated after the PEC byte
to signal the end of the read.
15. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end
the transaction.
Note that the PEC byte is calculated using CRC-8. The frame
check sequence (FCS) conforms to CRC-8 by the polynomial
C(x) = x8 + x2 + x1 + 1
See the SMBus 1.1 specification for details.
An example of a block read with the optional PEC byte is shown
