READ OPERATION

Read operations are initiated in the same way as write

operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of the

client address is set to ‘1’. There are three basic types

of read operations: current address read, random read

and sequential read.

5.3.5.1

Current Address Read

The MCP98244 contains an address counter that

maintains the address of the last word accessed,

internally incremented by ‘1’. Therefore, if the previous

access (either a read or write operation) was to

address

n, the next current address read operation

would access data from address

n+1. Upon receipt of

the client address with R/W bit set to ‘1’, the MCP98244

issues an acknowledge and transmits the 8-bit data

word. The host will not acknowledge (NAK) the transfer

but does generate a Stop condition and the MCP98244

discontinues transmission (Figure 5-14).
