Instructions for Use

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 2.7V to 3.6V.
   • The device has a low standby current of 1μA at 3.0V, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.

2. Current Consumption:

   • During active operations (e.g., reading), the current consumption is typically 4mA at 3.0V.
   • When programming, the current can range from 2mA to 5mA at 3.0V.

3. Data Retention:

   • The device guarantees data retention for up to 100 years under normal operating conditions.

4. Programming and Erasing:

   • Page program time is typically 3ms and can take up to 5ms.
   • Sector erase time is typically 200ms and can take up to 300ms.
   • Bulk erase time is typically 2000ms and can take up to 3000ms.

5. Input/Output Levels:

   • Ensure that the data output high level (VOH) is at least 2.4V when I_O = -0.4mA and V_CC = 3.0V.
   • The data output low level (VOL) should not exceed 0.4V when I_O = 0.4mA and V_CC = 3.0V.
   • Input high voltage (VIH) should be at least 2.0V and can go up to V_CC.
   • Input low voltage (VIL) should be between 0V and 0.8V.

6. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
   • Store the device in a dry environment to prevent moisture-related issues.

7. Programming and Configuration:

   • Refer to the device datasheet for specific commands and protocols for programming and configuring the memory.
   • Use appropriate software tools or hardware interfaces to communicate with the device.

8. Environmental Considerations:

   • Operate the device within the specified temperature range to ensure reliable performance.
   • Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or mechanical stress.
