Operation

M41T80

WRITE mode

In this mode the master transmitter transmits to the M41T80 slave receiver. Bus protocol is

shown in Figure 10: WRITE mode sequence on page 12. Following the START condition

and slave address, a logic '0' (R/W=0) is placed on the bus and indicates to the addressed

device that word address “An” will follow and is to be written to the on-chip address pointer.

The data word to be written to the memory is strobed in next and the internal address

pointer is incremented to the next address location on the reception of an acknowledge

clock. The M41T80 slave receiver will send an acknowledge clock to the master transmitter

after it has received the slave address see Figure 7: Slave address location on page 11 and

again after it has received the word address and each data byte.
