SEQUENTIAL READ OPERATION

Sequential read operations can be performed in two ways: current address sequential read operation, and

random address sequential read operation. The first data is sent in either of the two ways, current address byte

read operation or random address byte read operation described earlier. If the master responds with an ACK, the

24LLC16

continues transmitting data. If the master does not issue an ACK, generating a stop condition, the

slave stops transmission, ending the sequential read operation.

Using this method, data is output sequentially from address “n” followed by address “n+1”. The word address

pointer for read operations increments to all word addresses, allowing the entire EEPROM to be read sequentially

in a single operation. After the entire EEPROM is read, the word address pointer “rolls over” and the 24LLC16

continues to transmit data for each ACK it receives from the master (see Figure 5-14).
