Notes: 

1.

For the AT24CSW04X, the @ indicates the A1 Hardware Address bit which is managed by the ordering code

(see Table 6-3). For theAT24CSW08X, the @ indicates the A9 address bit.

2.

# indicates the hardware address value which is managed by the ordering code of the device (see Table 6-3

and Table 6-4).

Acknowledge Polling

An Acknowledge Polling routine can be implemented to optimize time-sensitive applications that would prefer not to

Serial EEPROM write cycle has completed, so a subsequent operation can be started.

Once the internally self-timed write cycle has started, an Acknowledge Polling routine can be initiated. This involves

repeatedly sending a Start condition followed by a valid device address byte with the R/W bit set at logic ‘0’. The

device will not respond with an ACK while the write cycle is ongoing. Once the internal write cycle has completed, the

EEPROM will respond with an ACK, allowing a new read or write operation to be immediately initiated. A flowchart

has been included below in Figure 7-3 to better illustrate this technique.
