ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING

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

command has been issued from the host, the device

initiates the internally timed write cycle. ACK polling

can be initiated immediately. This involves the host

sending a Start condition followed by the control byte

for a write command (R/W =

0). If the device is still busy

with the write cycle, then no ACK will be returned. If the

cycle is complete, then the device will return the ACK

and the host can then proceed with the next read or

write operation. See Figure 8-1 for flow diagram.
