X24012
Current Address Read
Internally the X24012 contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed,
Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access any
memory location in a random manner. Prior to issuing
incremented by one. Therefore, if the last access (either a
read or write) was to address n, the next read operation
the slave address with the R/W bit set to one, the master must
first perform a “dummy” write operation. The master
would access data from address n + 1. Upon receipt of the
slave address with R/W set to one, the X24012
issues the start condition, and the slave address followed
by the word address it is to read. After the word
issues an acknowledge and transmits the eight bit word
during the next eight clock cycles. The read operation is
address acknowledge, the master immediately reissues the
start condition and the slave address with the R/W bit
terminated by the master; by not responding with an
acknowledge and by issuing a stop condition. Refer to
set to one. This will be followed by an acknowledge from the
X24012 and then by the eight bit word. The read
