Since the device will not acknowledge during a write
cycle, this can be used to determine when the cycle is
complete (This feature can be used to maximize bus
throughput). Once the Stop condition for a Write                                Send

initiates the internally timed write cycle. ACK polling
can be initiated immediately. This involves the master
sending a Start condition, followed by the control byte                      Send Stop

If no ACK is returned, the Start bit and control byte must
be resent. If the cycle is complete, then the device will
return the ACK and the master can then proceed with
the next Read or Write command. See Figure 7-1 for                           Send Start

Data Sheets
Products supported by a preliminary Data Sheet may have an errata sheet describing minor operational differences and recom-
mended workarounds. To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please contact one of the following:
1.    Your local Microchip sales office
2.    The Microchip Corporate Literature Center U.S. FAX: (480) 792-7277
3.    The Microchip Worldwide Site (www.microchip.com)

NOTES:
DS21191M-page24            2004 Microchip Technology Inc.
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•    Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•    Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
     intended manner and under normal conditions.
•    There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
     knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
     Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•    Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•    Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
     mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
