24LLC08
8K-Bit Serial EEPROM
POLLING FOR AN ACK SIGNAL
When the master issues a stop condition to initiate a write cycle, the 24LLC08 starts an internal write cycle.
The master can then immediately begin polling for an ACK from the slave device.
To poll for an ACK signal in a write operation, the master issues a start condition followed by the slave address.
As long as the 24LLC08 remains busy with the write operation, no ACK is returned. When the 24LLC08
completes the write operation, it returns an ACK and the master can then proceed with the next or write
operation (see Figure 3-11).
