2 Signal descriptions
2.1 Serial data output (Q)
This output signal is used to tr ansf er data serially out of the de vice . Data is shifted out on the
falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.2 Serial data input (D)
This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions,
addresses, and the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial
Clock (C).
2.3 Serial Clock (C)
This input signal provides the timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data
present at serial data input (D) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data on
serial data output (Q) changes after the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.4 Chip Select (S)
When this input signal is High, th e device is deselected and serial data output (Q) is at high
impedance. Unless an internal read, prog ram, e rase or write cycle is in prog ress , the device
will be in the standby power mode (this is not the deep power-do wn mode). Driving Chip
Select (S) Low selects the device, placing it in the active power mode.
After power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select (S) is required prior to the start of any
instruction.
2.5 Reset (Reset)
The Reset (Reset) input pr ovides a hardw are reset f or the memory. In this mode, the outpu ts
are high impedance.
When Reset (Reset) is driven High, the memory is in the normal operating mode. When
Reset (Reset) is driven Lo w, the memory will enter the reset mode, pro vided that no internal
operat ion is currently in prog ress. Driving Reset (Reset) Low while an internal operation is in
progress has no effect on that internal operation (a write cycle, program cycle, or erase
cycle).
2.6 Write Protect (W)
This input signal pu ts the device in the hardware pr otected mod e, whe n Write Protect (W) is
connected to VSS, causing the first 256 pages of memory to become read-only b y protecti ng
them from write, program and erase operations. When Write Protect (W) is connected to
VCC, the first 256 page s of mem o ry be h ave like the other pages of mem o ry.

SPI modes M45PE40
10/49
3 SPI modes
These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of
the two follo wing modes:
CPOL=0, CPHA=0
CPOL=1, CPHA=1
For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and
output data is available from th e falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The difference between t he t w o mod es, as sho w n in Figure 4, is the clock polarity when the
bus mast er is in standby mode and not transferring data:
C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)
C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)
Figure 3. Bu s mas te r an d memo ry devices on the SPI bus
1. The Write Protect (W) signal should be driven, High or Low as appropriate.
Figure 3 shows a n examp le of three de vices connected t o an MCU , on an SPI bus . Only one
device is selected at a time, so only one device drives the serial data output (Q) line at a
time, the other devices are high impedance. Resistors R (represented in Figure 3) ensure
that the M45PE40 is not selected if the bus master leaves the S line in the high impedance
state . As the bus master ma y enter a state wher e all inputs/outputs are in high impedance at
the same time (for example, when the bus master is reset), the clock line (C) must be
connected to an external pull-down resistor so that, when all inputs/outputs become high
impedance, the S line is pulled High while the C line is pulled Lo w ( thus ensuring that S a nd
C do not become High at the same time, and so, that the tSHCH re quirement is met). The
typical v alue of R is 100 k, assuming that the time co nst ant R*C p (Cp = parasitic
capacitance of the bus line) is shorter than the time d uring which t he bus ma ster leaves the
SPI bus in high impe dance.

Operating features M45PE40

4 Operating features
4.1 Sharing the overhead of modifying data
To write or program one (or mor e) data bytes, two instructions are required: write enable
(WREN), which is one byte, and a page write (PW) or page program (PP) sequence, which
consists of f our by tes plus data. This is f ollo w ed b y the internal cycle (of duration t PW or tPP).
To share this overhead, the page write (PW) or page program (PP) instruction allows up to
256 b ytes to be prog rammed (c hanging bits from 1 t o 0) or written (changing b its to 0 or 1) a t
a time, provided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the same page of memory.
4.2 An easy way to modify data
The page write (PW) instruction provides a convenient way of modifying data (up to 256
contiguous bytes at a time), and simply requires the start address, and the new data in the
instruction sequence.
The page write (PW) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, and then
transmitting the instruction byte, three address bytes (A23-A0) and at least one data byte,
and then driving Chip Select (S) High. While Chip Select (S) is being held Low, the data
bytes are written to the data buffer, starting at the address given in the third address byte
(A7-A0). When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the write cycle starts. The remaining,
unchanged, bytes of the data buffer are automatically loaded with the values of the
correspond in g bytes of the add re sse d mem o ry pa g e. The addr e sse d me m ory pa ge the n
automatically put into an erase cycle. Finally, the addressed memory page is programmed
with the contents of the data buffer.
All of this buffer management is handled internally, and is transparent to the user. The user
is given the facility of being able to alter the contents of the memory on a by te-b y-byte basis .
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page write (PW) instruction to write all
consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page write (P W)
sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Section 6.7: Page write (PW),
Table 14: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation), and Table 15: AC characteristics (75 MHz
operation, T9HX (0.11 µm) process)).
M45PE40 Operating features
13/49
4.3 A fast wa y to modify data
The page program (PP) instruction provides a fast way of modifying data (up to 256
contiguous bytes at a time), provided that it only involves resetting bit s to ‘0’ that had
previously been set to ‘1’.
This might be:
when the designer is programming the device for the first time
when the designer knows that the page has already been erased by an earlier page
erase (PE) or sector erase (SE) instruction. This is useful, for example , when storing a
fast stream of data, having first performed the erase cycle when time was available
when the designer knows that the only changes involve resetting bits to ‘0’ that are still
set to ‘1’. When this method is possible, it has the additional advantage of minimizing
the number of unnecessary erase operations, and the extra stress incurred by each
page.
F or optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page program (PP) instruction to
program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page
program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Section 6.8: Page
program (PP), Tab le 14: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation), and Table 15: AC
characteristics (75 MHz operation, T9HX (0.11 µm) process)).
4.4 Polling during a write, program or erase cycle
A further improv emen t in the write, prog ram or er ase time can be achie v ed b y not waiting f or
the worst case delay (tPW, tPP
, tPE, or tSE). The write in progress (WIP) bit is provided in the
status register so that the application program can monitor its va lue, polling it to establish
when the previous cycle is complete.
4.5 Reset
An internal power on reset circuit helps protect against inadvertent data writes. Addition
protection is provided by driving Reset (Reset) Low during the power-on process, and only
driving it High when VCC has reached the correct voltage level, VCC(min).
4.6 Active power, standby power and deep power-down modes
When Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is selected, and in the active power mode.
When Chip Select (S) is High, the d e vice is deselecte d, b ut could remain in the act iv e powe r
mode until all inte rnal cycles have completed (prog ram, era se, write). The device then goes
in to the standby power mode. The device consumption drops to ICC1.
The deep power-down mode is entere d when t he specif ic instruction (the deep po w er-down
(DP) instruction) is executed. The device consumption drops further to ICC2. The device
remains in this mode until another specific instruction (the release from deep power-down
and read electronic signature (RES) instruction) is executed.
All other instructions are ignored while the de vice is in the deep po wer-do wn mode. This can
be used as an e xtr a sof twa re protectio n mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to
protect the device from inadvertent write, program or erase instructions.
Operating features M45PE40
14/49
4.7 Status register
The status regi ster contains two status bits that can be read by the read status register
(RDSR) instruction. See Section 6.4: Read status register (RDSR) f or a detailed description
of the status register bits.
4.8 Protection modes
The environments where non-volatile memory devices are used can be very noisy. No SPI
device can oper ate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the
M45PE40 features the following data protection mechanisms:
Power on reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide protection against inadvertent
changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification
Progr am, erase and write instructions are checked that they consist of a number of
clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for execution
All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a write enable (WREN)
instruction to set the write enable latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state
by the following events:
–Power-up
Reset (Reset) driven Low
Write disable (WRDI) instruction completion
Page write (PW) instruction completion
Page program (PP) instruction completion
Page erase (PE) instruction completion
Sector erase (SE) instruction completion
The hardware protected mode is entered when Write Protect (W) is driven Low,
causing the first 256 pages of memory to become read-only. When write protect (W) is
driven High, the first 256 pa ges of memory behave like the other pages of memory
The Reset (Reset) signal can be driven Low to protect the contents of the memory
during any critical time, not just during power-up and power-down
In addition to the low power consumption feature, the deep power-down mode offers
extra software protection from inadvertent write, program and erase instructions while
the device is not in active use.

6 Instructions
All instruct ion s, addresses and dat a are shifted in and out of the device, most significant bit
first.
Serial data input (D) is sampled on the first rising edge of Serial Clock (C) after Ch ip Select
(S) is drive n L ow. Then, the one- byte instruction cod e must be shifted in to t he device, most
significant bit first , on serial data input (D), each bit being latched on the rising edges of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruction set is listed in Table 3.
Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code. Depending on the
instruction, this might be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by bot h or none.
In the case of a read data byt es (READ), read data bytes at hig her speed (Fast_Read) or
read status register ( RDSR) instruction, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a
data-out sequence. Chip Select (S) can be driven High after any bit of the data-out
sequence is being shifted out.
In the case of a page write (PW), page program (PP), page erase (PE), sector erase (SE),
write enable (WREN), write disable (WRDI), deep power-down (DP) or release from deep
power-down (RDP) instr uction, Chip Select (S) must be driven High exactly at a byte
boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is no t executed. T hat is, Chip Select (S)
must driven High when the number of clock pulses after Chip Select (S) being driv en Low is
an exact multiple of eight.
All attempts to acce ss the memory array during a write cycle, program cycle or erase cycle
are ignored, and the internal write cycle, program cycle or erase cycle contin ues unaffected.

6.3 Read identification (RDID)
The read identification (RDID) instruction allows to read the device identification data:
Manufacturer identification (1 byte)
De vice identification (2 bytes)
A unique ID code (UID) (17 bytes, of which 16 a vailable upon customer request)(a).
The manu factur er ident ificat ion is assigned by JEDEC, and h as the value 20h fo r Nu mon yx.
The device identification is assigned by t he device manufacturer, and indicates the memory
type in the first byte (40h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte (13h).
The UID contains the length of the following data in the first byte (set to 10h), and 16 bytes
of the optiona l customized factory data (CFD) content. The CFD bytes are read-only and
can be programmed with customers data upon their demand . If the customers do not make
requests, the devices are shipped with all the CFD bytes programmed to zero (00h).
Any read identification (RDID) instruction while an erase or program cycle is in progress, is
not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. Then, the 8- bit instruction code
for the instruction is shifted in. After this, the 24-bit device identification, stored in the
memory, the 8-bit CFD length followed by 16 bytes of CFD content will be shifted out on
serial data output (Q). Each bit is shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8.
The read identification (RDID) instruction is terminated b y driving Chip Select (S) High at
any time during data output.
When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the stan dby power mode. Once in
the standb y po w er mode , the device waits to be se lected, so that it can r eceiv e , decode a nd
execute instructions.

6.4 Read status register (RDSR)
The read status register (RDSR) instruction allows the status register to be read. The status
register may be read at any time, even while a program, erase or write cycle is in progress.
When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the write in progress
(WIP) bit before sending a new inst ruction to the de vice . It is also possible to read the status
register continuously, as shown in Figure 9.
The status bits of the status register are as follows:
6.4.1 WIP bit
The write in progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a write, program
or erase cycle . When set t o ‘1’, such a cycle is in prog ress, when re set to ‘0’ no such cycle is
in progress.
6.4.2 WEL bit
The write enable la tch (WEL) bit indicates t he status of the internal write enable latc h. When
set to ‘1’ the internal write enable latch is set, when set to ‘0’ the internal write enable latch is
reset and no write, program or erase instruction is accepted.

6.5 Read data bytes (READ)
The de vice is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The i nst ructi on co de for the read
data bytes (READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being
latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that
address, is shifted out on se rial data output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum
frequency fR, during the falling edge of Serial Cloc k (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 10.
The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented
to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whol e memory can,
therefore, be read with a single read da ta bytes (READ) instruction. When the highest
address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence
to be continued indefinitely.
The read data bytes (READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip
Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any read data bytes (READ)
instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having
any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.6 Read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ)
The de vice is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The i nst ructi on co de for the read
data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-
A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C).
Then the memory contents , at that ad dress , is shift ed out on serial data ou tput (Q), ea ch bit
being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 11.
The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented
to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whol e memory can,
therefore, be read with a single read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction.
When the highest add ress is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing
the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
The read data b ytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip
Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driven High at an y time du ring data output. An y read
data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction, while an erase, prog ram or write cycle
is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.7 Page write (PW)
The page write (PW) instruction allows by tes to be written in the memory. Before it can be
accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been e xecuted. After the
write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write enable latch
(WEL).
The page write (PW) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the
instruction code , three addres s bytes a nd at least one data b yte on serial data inpu t (D). The
rest of the page remains unchanged if no power failure occurs during this write cycle.
The page write (PW) instruction performs a page erase cycle even if only one byte is
updated.
If the 8 least significant addre s s bits (A7 -A0) are no t all zero, all tra nsmitte d data exceeding
the addressed page boundary wrap round, and are written from the start address of the
same page (the one whose 8 least significant a ddress bits (A7-A0) are all z ero). Chip Select
(S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 12.
If more tha n 256 bytes ar e se nt to the device, previously latched d ata are discarded and the
last 256 data b yt es are guar antee d to be written correctly with in the sa me page . If less than
256 data bytes are sent to device, the y are correctly written at the requested addresses
without having any e ffects on the other bytes of the same page.
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page write (PW) instruction to write all
consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page write (PW)
sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Tab le 14: A C char acteristics (50 MHz
operation) and Table 15: AC characteristics (75 MHz operation, T9HX (0.11 µm) process)).
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in, otherwise the page write (PW) instruction is not executed.
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driv en High, the self- timed page write cycle (whose duration is
tPW) is initiated. Whil e the p age write cycle is in prog ress , the st atus regi ster may be read to
chec k the v a lue of the write in prog ress (WIP ) bit. The write in prog ress (WIP) bit is 1 during
the self-timed page write cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time
before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A page write (PW) instruction applied to a page that is hard ware protected is not executed.
Any page write (PW) instruction, while an erase , program or write cycle is in progress, is
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.8 Page program (PP)
The page prog ram (PP) instruction allo ws bytes to be pr ogrammed in the m emory (changing
bits from 1 to 0, only). Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must
previously hav e been executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been
decoded, the device sets the write enable latch (WEL).
The page prog ram (PP) instruction is entered b y driving Chip Select (S) Low, f ollowed by the
instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on serial data input (D). If
the 8 least significant address bits ( A7-A0) are not all ze ro, all transmitted data exceeding
the addressed page boundary wrap round, and are programmed from the start address of
the same page (the one whose 8 least significant addres s bits (A7-A0) are all zero). Chip
Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 13.
If more tha n 256 bytes ar e se nt to the device, previously latched d ata are discarded and the
last 256 dat a bytes ar e guaranteed to be progr ammed corr ectly within the same pag e. If less
than 256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctl y programmed at the requested
addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page.
F or optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page program (PP) instruction to
program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page
program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Table 14: AC
characteristics (50 MHz operation) and Table 15: AC characteristics (75 MHz operation,
T9HX (0.11 µm) process)).
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in, otherwise the page program (PP) instruction is not executed.
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed page program cycle (whose
duration is tPP) is initiated. While the page program cycle is in progress, the status register
may be read to check the value of the write in progress (WIP) bit. The write in progress
(WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed page program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At
some unspecified time bef ore the cycle is co mplete, the write enab le latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A page program (PP) instruction applied to a page that is hardware protected is not
executed.
Any page pr ogram (PP) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.9 Page erase (PE)
The page erase (PE) instruction sets to ‘1’ (FFh) all bits inside the chosen page. Before it
can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed.
After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write
enable latch (WEL).
The page erase (PE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the
instruction code, and three address bytes on serial data input (D). Any address inside the
page is a valid address for the page erase (PE) instruction. Chip Select (S) must be driven
Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 14.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last address byte has been
latched in, otherwise the page eras e (PE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip
Select (S) is driven High, the self -timed page er ase cycle (wh ose duratio n is tPE) is initiated.
While the page er ase cycle is in progress , the status register may be read to check th e value
of the write in progress (WIP) bi t. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed
page erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle
is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A page erase (PE) instruction applied to a page that is hardware protected is not executed.
Any page erase (PE) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is

sector (see Table 2) is a valid address for the sector erase (SE) instruction. Chip Select (S)
must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 15.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last address byte has been
latched in, otherwise the sector erase (SE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip
Select (S) is driv en High, the self-timed sector erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is
initiated. While the sector erase cycle is in progress, the status registe r may be read to
chec k the v a lue of the write in prog ress (WIP ) bit. The write in prog ress (WIP) bit is 1 during
the self-timed sector erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time
before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A sector erase (SE) instruction applied to a sector that contains a page that is har dware
protected is not executed.
Any sector erase (SE) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.11 Deep power-down (DP)
Executing the deep power- down (DP) instruction is the only way to put the device in the
lowest consumption mode (the deep power-down mode). It can also be used as an extra
softwar e protecti on mechanism, wh ile the device is not in activ e use , since in this mode , th e
device ignores all write, program and erase instructions.
Driving Chip Select (S) High deselects the device, and puts the device in the standby po wer
mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the deep
pow er-do wn mode . The deep po we r-do wn mode can only be entered by e x ecuting th e deep
power-down (DP) instruction, to reduce the standby current (from ICC1 to ICC2, as specified
in Table 11).
Once the device has entered the deep power-down mode, all instructions are ignored
except the release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction. This releases the device from
this mode.
The deep power-down mode automatically stops at power -down, and the device always
powers-up in the standby power mode.
The deep power-down (DP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed
by the instruction code on serial data input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the
entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been
latched in, otherwise the deep power-down (DP) instruction is not executed. As soon as
Chip Select (S) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP befor e the su pply cu rrent is r educe d
to ICC2 and the deep power-down mode is entered.
Any deep power-down (DP) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in
progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.12 Release from deep power-down (RDP)
Once the device has entered the deep power-down mode, all instructions are ignored
except the release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction. Executing this instruction
takes the device out of the deep power-down mode.
The release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S)
Low, f ollo wed b y the instruction code on serial data input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven
Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17.
The release from de ep power-down (RDP) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select
(S) High. Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Cloc k (C), while Chip Select (S) is driven
Low, cause the instruction to be rejected, and not executed.
After Chip Select (S) has been driv en High, followed b y a dela y, tRDP
, the de vice is put in the
standb y pow er mode . Chip Select (S) must remain High at least until this period is ov er. The
device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions.
Any release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction, while an erase, program or write
cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

7 Power-up and power-down
At power-up and power-down, the device must not be selected (t hat is Chip Select ( S ) m ust
follow the voltage applied on VCC) until VCC reaches the correct value:
VCC(min) at power-up, and then for a further delay of tVSL
VSS at power-down
A safe configuration is provided in Section 3: SPI modes.
To av oid data corruption and inadvertent write operations during po wer up , a po wer on rese t
(POR) circuit is includ ed. T he logic in side th e d evice is held reset while VCC is less than the
power on reset (POR) threshold voltage, VWI – all operations are disabl ed, and the device
does not respond to any instruction.
Moreo ver , the device ig nores all write enable (WREN), page write (PW), page prog ram (PP),
page erase (PE) and sector erase (SE) instructions until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed
after the moment that VCC rises above the VWI threshold. However, the correct operation of
the device is not guaranteed if, b y this time, VCC is still below VCC(min). No write, program or
erase instructions should be sent until the later of:
tPUW after VCC passed the VWI threshold
tVSL after VCC passed the VCC(min) level
These values are specified in Table 6.
If the delay, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC has risen above VCC(min), the device can be
selected for read instructions even if the tPUW delay is not yet fully elapsed.
As an extra pr otect ion, the Reset (R eset ) signal can be driv en Low for the whol e d ur a tio n of
the power-up and power- down phases.
At power-up, the device is in the following state:
The device is in the standby power mode (not the deep power-down mode).
The write enab le latch (WEL) bit is reset.
The write in progress (WIP) bit is reset.
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to stabilize the VCC supply.
Each de vice in a system should ha v e the V CC rail decoupled b y a suitab le capacitor close to
the package pins (generally, this capacitor is of t he order of 100 nF).
At power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to below the power on reset
(POR) threshold voltage, VWI, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond
to any instruction (the de signer needs to be a w are that if a pow er-down occur s while a write,
program or erase cycle is in progress , some data corruption can result).
