SEQUENTIAL READ: Sequential reads are initiated by either a current address read or a ran-
dom address read. After the microcontroller receives a data word, it responds with an
acknowledge. As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledge, it will continue to increment
the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words. When the memory address
limit is reached, the data word address will “roll over” and the sequential read will continue. The
sequential read operation is terminated when the microcontroller does not respond with a “0” but
does generate a following stop condition (see Figure 7-3).
