Vcc Ramp Rate for MirrorBit® Multi I/O SPI Family
Author: Ted Eiden
Associated Part Family: S25FL-P
AN98519 discusses the power-on requirements for Cypress's 90-nm S25FL-P product family.

Introduction
Electronic products are expected to begin operating shortly after they are powered on. To meet this expectation,
each semiconductor device used in these products is also designed to become operational shortly after power is
applied. To become ready for use, the device executes a planned power-on initialization sequence. This
initialization sequence is unique to each semiconductor device and ranges from simple to complex.
As a requirement to the proper execution of the power-up sequence, power applied through the VCC and GND
pins needs to follow certain necessary rules. There are limits to how quickly the VCC ramp rises from its idle value
of 0V to its specified target value of VCC. In addition another specification may delay access to the device after
Vcc has risen above a minimum level to allow for the initialization sequence to be executed.
The power-on requirements for Cypress's 90 nm S25FL-P product family will be documented within this
Application Note.

Cypress FL-P VCC Ramp Rate Specifications
New specifications are being communicated with respect to VCC ramp rates on Cypress's S25FL-P SPI Flash
Product Family.
A VCC ramp rate is defined to be the time elapsed during which VCC rises from VSS (0V) to VCC (3V) divided by the
VCC voltage increase (3V).
The VCC ramp rate during power-up for the FL-P products is specified to be between 8 µs/V and 1s/V in order to
ensure proper device operation. In addition, a delay of tPU, specified to be a minimum of 300 µs for the S25FL-P
family, must be met before access to the device is allowed. Figure 1 below for further detail.
After the power-up sequence has completed, the flash device will go to standby mode and wait for user
commands.

Summary
In summary, the VCC ramp rate for the Cypress 90nm MirrorBit Multi-I/O SPI Family has been documented here.
Given that the VCC ramp rate and the tPU specifications are met, electronic systems using this device will be able
to rely on proper operation of the SPI flash device.
