Reading the 128-bit serial number is similar to the sequential read sequence but requires
use of the device address seen in Figure 1, a dummy
write and a specific word address. The word address must begin with a 10b
sequence regardless of the intended address. If a word address other than
10b
is used, the device will not output valid data.
Example: If the application desires to read the first byte of the serial number, the word address input would need to be 80h.
When the end of the Security register is reached (32 bytes of data), the data word address will roll over to the beginning of Security register starting with the most significant byte of the 128-bit serial number. The serial number read operation or any read of the Security register is terminated when the master does not respond with an ACK and instead issues a Stop condition.
