TI545/TI555 Memory and Mode Status at Power-up
When you power up a TI545/TI555 system, the CPU checks the status of the
EEPROM (EPROM) and the battery. A clear (un-programmed) EEPROM
(EPROM) is equivalent to having no EEPROM (EPROM) installed.
Table 5-3 lists mode and memory status (after power up) that result from
various battery and EEPROM (EPROM) conditions.
