Random Address Byte Read
After the word address acknowledge is received by the
Random address read operations allow the master to master, the master immediately reissues a start condition

operation involves a two-step process. First, the master set to READ. The S24042/43 will respond with an ac-

WRITE) followed by the address of the word it is to read. acknowledgethetransmissionbutdoesgeneratethestop
