I2C read operations

Read operation in user memory is performed successfully only if:

•

Area to which the byte belongs is not read protected by I2CSS register.

•

Area to which the byte belongs is read protected by I2CSS register, but I2C security

session is open.

Read operations in system memory and dynamic registers are done independently of any

protection mechanism, except I2C_PWD register which needs I2C security session to be

open first.

Read operation in fast transfer mode’s mailbox is performed successfully only if fast transfer

mode is activated.

If read is not successful, ST25DVxxx releases the bus and I2C host reads byte value FFh.

After the successful completion of a read operation, the device’s internal address counter is

incremented by one, to point to the next byte address.

After an unsuccessful read operation, ST25DVxxx enters in I2C dead state: internal address

counter is not incremented, and ST25DVxxx is waiting for a full new I2C instruction.

6.5.1

Random Address Read

A dummy write is first performed to load the address into this address counter (as shown in

Figure 29: Read mode sequences) but without sending a Stop condition. Then, the bus

master sends another Start condition, and repeats the device select code, with the

Read/Write bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges this, and outputs the contents of the

addressed byte. The bus master must not acknowledge the byte, and terminates the

transfer with a Stop condition.

6.5.2

Current Address Read

For the Current Address Read operation, following a Start condition, the bus master only

sends a device select code with the Read/Write bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges

this, and outputs the byte addressed by the internal address counter. The counter is then

incremented. The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in

Figure 29: Read mode sequences, without acknowledging the byte.
