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

SMS29xx. The SMS29xx 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 11 for the

address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.
