PGA305: PGA305

Just find that under the PGA305 datasheet section 7.3.16.1.2 EEPROM Programming Procedure, says as follow:

For programming the EEPROM, the EEPROM is organized in 16 pages of eight bytes each. Write to the 8-byte EEPROM cache to program the EEPROM memory cells. Select the EEPROM memory page to transfer the contents of the EEPROM cache.

What is this deal of programming and not programming? please be a bit more specific, what needs to be programmed? what is the procedure to set all the values to the registers that need to be set  for proper device functioning? what is the procedure to store the device calibration in EEPROM?

EEPROM is used in the PGA305 to place settings for some control registers and compensation coefficients in nonvolatile memory so they do not have to be rewritten every time the device is powered on.

You will notice in the register map that many control registers have a Digital Interface (DI) address, and an EEPROM address. You can write values in the EEPROM address that will set those registers to your desired configuration.

Scott, Thanks by the quick response, but i still have a misunderstanding on what is the proper procedure to manufacture the device im building: when you say that i can modify the register what is the mechanism that you implicitly use to do this on a virgin device already install in the production board? Im trying to understand the proper sequence of the manufacturing line one the device is in production.
could i use the I2C? or what is the way to do this as we do not consider OWI as an alternative.
Please advice

Scott
Reading this PGA305 datasheet, I will assume that the values in the DIG_IF_CTRL register defaults to have I2C enabled and will test this theory soon. now i have a related question: how can I access the registers that don't have DI page and DI offset?
Please advice

Hi
I have one more question:
In the PGA305 datasheet is stated, step 1 on the following procedure:
"7.3.16.1.2 EEPROM Programming Procedure
For programming the EEPROM, the EEPROM is organized in 16 pages of eight bytes each. Write to the 8-byte
EEPROM cache to program the EEPROM memory cells. Select the EEPROM memory page to transfer the
contents of the EEPROM cache.
1. Write the upper four bits of the 7-bit EEPROM address to the EEPROM_PAGE_ADDRESS register to select
the EEPROM page."

Where can I find the EEPROM memory pages as per those instructions above?
The table 20 displays the Control and Status Registers but the addresses are 4 bytes long and there is not way to correlate this table with what is described on step 1.

could I assume that step one is not accurate and use the less significant Byte instead?
the Cache needs 4 Bits <3:0>, can i use the most significant four Bits of these byte to create the pages?
Please advice.

Just for reference, this final post was addressed in a separate thread here: e2e.ti.com/.../748112
