Sequential READ
Sequential READs can be initiated as either a current
address READ or random access READ. The first word is
transmitted as with the other byte read modes (current
address byte READ or random address byte READ);
however, the master now responds with an ACKnowledge,
indicating that it requires additional data from the
S24VP04. The S24VP04 continues to output data for
each ACKnowledge received. The master terminates the
sequential READ operation by not responding with an
ACKnowledge, and issues a STOP conditions.
During a sequential read operation, the internal address
counter is automatically incremented with each acknowl-
edge signal. For read operations, all address bits are
incremented, allowing the entire array to be read using a
single read command. After a count of the last memory
address, the address counter will ‘roll-over’ and the
memory will continue to output data. See Figure 10 for the
address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.
