24AA02UID/24AA025UID
8.0 READ OPERATION
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of the
slave address is set to ‘1’. There are three basic types
of read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
8.1 Current Address Read
The 24AA02XUID contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed, inter-
nally incremented by ‘1’. Therefore, if the previous
access (either a read or write operation) was to address
n, the next current address read operation would
access data from address n + 1. Upon receipt of the
slave address with R/W bit set to ‘1’, the 24AA02XUID
issues an acknowledge and transmits the 8-bit data
word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer, but
does generate a Stop condition, and the 24AA02XUID
discontinues transmission (Figure 8-1).
8.2 Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, the word address must first
be set. This is accomplished by sending the word
address to the 24AA02XUID as part of a write
operation. Once the word address is sent, the master
generates a Start condition following the acknowledge.
This terminates the write operation, but not before the
internal Address Pointer is set. The master then issues
the control byte again, but with the R/W bit set to a ‘1’.
The 24AA02XUID will then issue an acknowledge and
transmit the 8-bit data word. The master will not
acknowledge the transfer, but does generate a Stop
condition, and the 24AA02XUID will discontinue
transmission (Figure 8-2).
8.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read, except that once the 24AA02XUID
transmits the first data byte, the master issues an
acknowledge as opposed to a Stop condition in a ran-
dom read. This directs the 24AA02XUID to transmit the
next sequentially-addressed 8-bit word (Figure 8-3).
To provide sequential reads, the 24AA02XUID contains
an internal Address Pointer that is incremented by one
upon completion of each operation. This Address
Pointer allows the entire memory contents to be serially
read during one operation.
8.4 Noise Protection
The 24AA02XUID employs a VCC threshold detector
circuit which disables the internal erase/write logic if the
VCC is below 1.5V at nominal conditions.
The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and
filter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure
proper device operation, even on a noisy bus.
