The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be halted whenever the address being read is a clock address (00h

to 07h). The update will resume due to a stop condition or when the pointer increments to any non-clock address

(08h-0Fh).

Note: This is true both in READ mode and WRITE mode.

An alternate READ mode may also be implemented whereby the master reads the M41T6x slave without first

writing to the (volatile) address pointer. The first address that is read is the last one stored in the pointer (see

Figure 15. Alternative READ mode sequence).
