Figure 4-3.  ID EEPROM access decoding logic. 

 

The ID EEPROM is written during board production testing with: 

 

A unique serial number 

 

MAC address 

 

Calibration values 

Calibration values are used to optimize radio transceiver performance. 

Final products do not require this external ID EEPROM functionality. All data can be stored directly in the Atmel 

Atmega256RFR2 internal EEPROM. The ID EEPROM is there for convenience to simplify microcontroller firmware 

development. 

Table 4-1

 shows the data structure of the ID EEPROM. The Cal RC values can be used as start values 

for the RC calibration algorithm. The Cal OSC 16MHz value can simply be copied to the corresponding radio 

transceiver register to reduce the frequency deviation. However, the 16MHz crystal is guaranteed to deviate less than 

20ppm from the actual 16MHz value at room temperature without any calibration adjustment. When the Cal OSC 

16MHz value is applied, the deviation is less than 5ppm at room temperature.
