3. READ Operations
Set R/W bit = “1” for the READ operation of the AK4685.
The master can read next address’s data by generating the acknowledge instead of terminating the write cycle after the
receipt of the first data word. After the receipt of each data, the internal 5bits address counter is incremented by one, and
the next data is taken into next address automatically. If the address exceeds 0CH prior to generating stop condition, the
address counter will “roll over” to 00H and the previous data will be overwritten.
The AK4685 supports two basic read operations: CURRENT ADDRESS READ and RANDOM READ.
3-1. CURRENT ADDRESS READ
The AK4685 contains an internal address counter that maintains the address of the last word accessed, incremented by
one. Therefore, if the last access (either a read or write) was to address “n”, the next CURRENT READ operation would
access data from the address “n+1”.
After receipt of the slave address with R/W bit set to “1”, the AK4685 generates an acknowledge, transmits 1byte data
which address is set by the internal address counter and increments the internal address counter by 1. If the master does
not generate an acknowledge to the data but generate stop condition, the AK4685 discontinues transmission
3-2. RANDOM READ
Random read operation allows the master to access any memory location at random. Prior to issuing the slave address
with the R/W bit set to “1”, the master must first perform a “dummy” write operation.
The master issues start condition, slave address(R/W bit=“0”) and then the register address to read. After the register
address’s acknowledge, the master immediately reissues the start condition and the slave address with the R/W bit set to
“1”. Then the AK4685 generates an acknowledge, 1byte data and increments the internal address counter by 1. If the
master does not generate an acknowledge but generate the stop condition, the AK4685 discontinues transmission.
