6.2 Page Write
The write control byte, word address, and the first data
byte are transmitted to the 24XX515 in the same way
as in a byte write. But instead of generating a Stop
condition, the master transmits up to 63 additional
bytes, which are temporarily stored in the on-chip page
buffer and will be written into memory after the master
has transmitted a Stop condition. After receipt of each
word, the six lower Address Pointer bits are internally
incremented by one. If the master should transmit more
than 64 bytes prior to generating the Stop condition, the
address counter will roll over and the previously
received data will be overwritten. As with the byte write
operation, once the Stop condition is received, an
internal write cycle will begin (Figure 6-2).
