Read the lock status (M24C64-D only)
The locked/unlocked status of the Identification page can be checked by transmitting a
specific truncated command [Identification Page Write instruction + one data byte] to the
device. The device returns an acknowledge bit if the Identification page is unlocked,
otherwise a NoAck bit if the Identification page is locked.
Right after this, it is recommended to transmit to the device a Start condition followed by a
Stop condition, so that:
• Start: the truncated command is not executed because the Start condition resets the
device internal logic,
• Stop: the device is then set back into Standby mode by the Stop condition.

Initial delivery state
The device is delivered with all the memory array bits and Identification page bits set to 1
(each byte contains FFh).
