S24163
Random Address Byte Read
Random address read operations allow the master to
access any memory location in a random fashion. This
operation involves a two-step process. First, the master
issues a write command which includes the start condi-
tion and the slave address field (with the R/W bit set to
WRITE) followed by the address of the word it is to read.
This procedure sets the internal address counter of the
S24163 to the desired address.
After the word address acknowledge is received by the
master, the master immediately reissues a start condition
followed by another slave address field with the R/W bit
set to READ. The S24163 will respond with an acknowl-
edge and then transmit the 8-data bits stored at the
addressed location. At this point, the master does not
acknowledge the transmission but does generate the stop
condition. The S24163 discontinues data transmission
and reverts to its standby power mode. See Figure 9 for
the address, acknowledge and data transfer sequence.
