Hi Jean=2C


Thanks much for your response.=20

1) Thanks for correcting: ADM1066 as you mentioned does not require process=
 call.

2) From eeprom AT24C64 sheets: It support  Sequential Random Read. After th=
e micro controller receives a data word=2C it responds with an acknowledge.=
 As long as the EEPROM receives an acknowledge=2C it will continue to incre=
ment the data word address and serially clock out sequential data words... =
The sequential read operation is terminated when the micro controller does =
not respond with a zero but does generate a following stop condition".

The above seems to map to SMBUS Process Call Cycle with I2C_EN=3D1b.

Pls suggest.


Thanks=2C
Krishna
