Another common operation in the ISD5100 Series is the reading of digital data from the chip’s memory
array at a specific address. This requires the I2C interface Master to first send an address to the
ISD5100 Series Slave device, and then receive data from the Slave in a single I2C operation. To
accomplish this, the data direction R/W bit must be changed in the middle of the command. The
following example shows the Master sending the Slave address, then sending a Command Byte and 2
bytes of address data to the ISD5100-Series, and then immediately changing the data direction and
reading some number of bytes from the chip’s digital array. An unlimited number of bytes can be read
in this operation. The “N” not-acknowledge cycle from the Master forces the end of the data transfer
from the Slave. The following example details the transfer explained in section 7.5.4 on page 47 of this
datasheet.
