Read Cycle
In read mode (R/W = 1), the MAX7472/MAX7473 write
the contents of the Status, Channel Selection, or
Frequency register to the bus. When the command
byte indicates a read operation of either the Status or
the Frequency register, the serial interface expects an
Sr condition to follow the command byte. After sending
an Sr, the master sends the MAX7472/MAX7473 slave
address byte followed by the R/W bit (set to 1 to indi-
cate a read). The slave device (MAX7472/MAX7473)
generates an ACK for the second address word and
immediately after the ACK clock pulse, the direction of
data flow reverses. The slave (MAX7472/MAX7473)
then transmits 1 byte of data containing the value of the
register that was selected in the command byte. Figure
8 shows a basic read sequence.
Note: To read the contents of the Status, Channel
Selection, or Frequency register, the master must first
write a command byte, requesting to read the Status,
Channel Selection, or Frequency register.
