bit set to “1” it issues an acknowledge and transmits the 8-
Bit word stored at address location n+1. The current
address byte Read operation only accesses a single byte
of data. The Master holds the SDA line high (NACK) and
generates a Stop condition. At this point the SMH4042A
discontinues data transmission.
Sequential Read
Sequential Reads can be initiated as either a current
address Read or a random access Read. The first word
is transmitted as with the other byte Read modes (current
address byte Read or random address byte Read);
