READ OPERATION

Read operations are initiated in the same way as write

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

slave address is set to ‘

1’. There are three basic types

of read operations: current address read, random read

and sequential read.

6.1

Current Address Read

The 34VL02 contains an address counter that

maintains the address of the last word accessed, inter-

nally 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 slave address with R/W bit set to ‘

1’, the 34VL02

issues an acknowledge and transmits the 8-bit data

word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer, but

does generate a Stop condition and the 34VL02

discontinues transmission (Figure 6-1).

6.2

Random Read

Random read operations allow the master to access

any memory location in a random manner. To perform

this type of read operation, the word address must first

be set. This is done by sending the word address to the

34VL02 as part of a write operation. Once the word

address is sent, the master generates a Start condition

following the acknowledge. This terminates the write

operation, but not before the internal Address Pointer is

set. The master then issues the control byte again, but

with the R/W bit set to a ‘

1’. The 34VL02 then issues an

acknowledge and transmits the 8-bit data word. The

master will not acknowledge the transfer, but does

generate

Stop

condition

and

the

34VL02

discontinues transmission (Figure 6-2).

6.3

Sequential Read

Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a

random read, with the exception that after the 34VL02

transmits the first data byte, the master issues acknowl-

edge, as opposed to a Stop condition in a random read.

This directs the 34VL02 to transmit the next sequentially

addressed 8-bit word (Figure 6-3).

To provide sequential reads, the 34VL02 contains an

internal Address Pointer, which is incremented by one

at the completion of each operation. This Address

Pointer allows the entire memory contents to be serially

read during one operation.

6.4

Contiguous Addressing Across

Multiple Devices

The Chip Select bits (A2, A1, A0) can be used to

expand the contiguous address space for up to 16K bits

by adding up to eight 34VL02 devices on the same bus.

In this case, software can use A0 of the control byte as

address bit A8; A1 as address bit A9, and A2 as

address bit A10. It is not possible to sequentially read

across device boundaries.

6.5

Noise Protection and Brown-Out

The 34VL02 employs a VCC threshold detector circuit

which disables the internal erase/write logic if the VCC

is below 1.35V at nominal conditions.

The SCL and SDA inputs have Schmitt Trigger and

filter circuits which suppress noise spikes to assure

proper device operation, even on a noisy bus.
