are all located in the same ’row’ in the memory:
that is the most significant memory address bits
are the same. If more bytes are sent than will fit up
to the end of the row, a condition known as ‘roll-
over’ occurs. Data starts to become overwritten, or
otherwise altered.
The master sends from one up to 16 bytes of data,
each of which is acknowledged by the memory if
the WC pin is low. If the WC pin is high, the
contents of the addressed memory location are
not modified, and each data byte is followed by a
NoAck. After each byte is transferred, the internal
byte address counter (the 4 least significant bits
only) is incremented. The transfer is terminated by
the master generating a STOP condition.
When the master generates a STOP condition
immediately after the Ack bit (in the “10
slot), either at the end of a byte write or a page
write, the internal memory write cycle is triggered.

A STOP condition at any other time does not

During the internal write cycle, the SDA input is
disabled internally, and the device does not
respond to any requests.
Minimizing System Delays by Polling On ACK
During the internal write cycle, the memory
disconnects itself from the bus, and copies the
data from its internal latches to the memory cells.
The maximum write time (t
but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this,
an Ack polling sequence can be used by the
master.
