EPROM Mode
This mode is suitable for use with an EPROM, in which configuration data is stored (one-way communication - status
information will not be accessible). A state machine internal to the ACS8514 device will perform numerous EPROM read
operations to read the data out of the EPROM. In EPROM Mode, the ACS8514 takes control of the bus as Master and
reads the device set-up from an AMD AM27C64 type EPROM at lowest speed (250ns) after device set-up (system reset).
The EPROM access state machine in the up interface sequences the accesses. Figure 13 shows the access timing of the
device in EPROM mode.
Further information can be found in the AMD AM27C64 data sheet.

Power-On Reset
The Power-On Reset (PORB) pin resets the device if forced Low. The reset is asynchronous; the minimum Low pulse width
is 5 ns. Reset is needed to initialize all of the register values to their defaults. Reset must be asserted at power on, and
may be re-asserted at any time to restore defaults. This is implemented simply using an external capacitor to GND along
with the internal pull-up resistor. The ACS8514 is held in a reset state for 250 ms after the PORB pin has been pulled
high. In normal operation PORB should be held high.
