Instructions

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (Vcc) is within the specified range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V.
   • Connect the Vcc pin to the power supply and GND pin to ground.

2. Communication:

   • Use the SPI interface for communication.
   • Connect the SPI pins (CS, SCK, MOSI, MISO) to the corresponding pins on your microcontroller or controller.

3. Initialization:

   • Before performing any read/write operations, initialize the device by sending the appropriate SPI commands.
   • Refer to the device datasheet for specific initialization sequences.

4. Read Operations:

   • To read data from the memory, send the read command followed by the address and then read the data from the MISO line.

5. Write Operations:

   • To write data to the memory, first send the write enable command.
   • Then send the write command followed by the address and the data to be written.
   • After writing, send the write disable command to prevent accidental writes.

6. Write Protect:

   • Enable software or hardware write protection to prevent unintended writes.
   • For software protection, use the write protect register.
   • For hardware protection, connect the WP pin to Vcc or GND as required.

7. Standby Mode:

   • To enter standby mode, set the CS pin high.
   • In standby mode, the device consumes minimal power (1 μA).

8. Endurance and Data Retention:

   • The device can withstand up to 100,000 program/erase cycles.
   • Data retention is guaranteed for 20 years under normal operating conditions.

9. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
   • Follow proper ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions during handling and installation.

10. Storage:

    • Store the device in a dry, cool place to ensure long-term reliability.
