Data is returned beginning with the MSb of the data in MAddr. Because the address is automatically incremented after the LSb of each byte is returned, the MSb of the data at address MAddr + 1 is available to the host immediately after the acknowledgment of the data at address MAddr. If the bus master continues to read beyond address FFh, the ICs output data values of FFh. Addresses labeled Reserved in the memory map return undefined data. The bus master terminates the read transaction at any byte boundary by issuing a no acknowledge followed by a STOP or Repeated START.
