If bit 16 of the control word is disabled (Password Check ON/OFF), the Login is still mandatory to modify the Protection
Word, the Control Word, and the Password, but not to write in the EEPROM which is not write inhibited. In order to modify a
write inhibited word, the Protection word has to be modified first. The Read protected area always requires the Login to be
read. If the Write Protection Word is write protected, the write protection configuration is locked.
Write Password
When a Write Password command is received, the chip next expects information on the actual valid password. The chip
sends back an ACK pattern if the password is correct. Then the chip expects the new password consisting of 32 bits +
parity bit to be stored in the EEPROM. The chip will respond with an ACK pattern for a correct reception of data upon
reception of the new password, and then will send another acknowledge pattern (ACK) to announce that the data is stored
in the EEPROM. The Read after Write function has no effect on this command. If the password is wrong or the transmission
is faulty, the chip will : send a NAK pattern; return to the Standard Read Mode; and, the password will remain the same.
(Refer to Write Word for password data structure).

Write Word
The Write mode allows modification of the EEPROM contents word by word. To modify address 1 (Protection word) and
address 2 (Control word), it is mandatory to first send a Login command in order to Log in (like in a computer). The new
written values will take effect only after performing a Reset command. It is strongly recommended to check the result of
modifying the contents of these addresses effecting the function of the chip. Address 0 (Password) cannot be modified with
this command but can be changed with the Write Password command.
Addresses 3 to 31 are programmable according to the defined protections. If the Password Check bit is off (bit 16 of control
word) and the word is not write inhibited, the selected word can be freely modified without password. If the Password Check
bit is on and the word is not write inhibited, the selected word can be modified with a previous Login. In any case, if the
word is write inhibited, the protection word has to be changed before programming can occur.

The Write Word command is followed by the address and data. The address consists of a 9 bit block containing 8 data bits
and 1 even parity bit. Only 6 bits from the data section are used for the word addressing, and the first three bits sent must
be "0". The data consists of 4 times 9 bit blocks, each block consisting of 8 data bits and 1 associated even parity bit and
one additional block consisting of 8 column parity bits and "0" as stop bit (Refer to fig. 7)
