The memory can be written or programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time, using the Page Write or Page Program instruction. The Page Write instruction consists of an integrated Page Erase cycle followed by a Page Program cycle. The memory is organized as 32 sectors, each containing 256 pages. Each page is 256 bytes wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 8192 pages, or 2,097,152 Bytes. The memory can be erased a page at a time, using the Page Erase instruction, or a sector at a time, using the Sector Erase instruction. In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers the M45PE16 in ECOPACK® packages. ECOPACK® packages are Lead-free and RoHS compliant. ECOPACK is an ST trademark. ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com. Figure 1. Logic diagram VCC D Q C S M45PE16 W Reset VSS AI06884 Table 1.

This is pulled, internally, to VSS, and must not be allowed to be connected to any other voltage or signal line on the PCB. 2. See Package mechanical section for package dimensions, and how to identify pin-1. 7/45 Signal description 2 Signal description 2.1 Serial Data Output (Q) M45PE16 This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. 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, the device is deselected and Serial Data Output (Q) is at high impedance. Unless an internal Read, Program, Erase or Write cycle is in progress, the device will be in the Standby mode (this is not the Deep Power-down mode). Driving Chip Select (S) Low enables 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 provides a hardware reset for the memory. When Reset (Reset) is driven High, the memory is in the normal operating mode. When Reset (Reset) is driven Low, the device enters the Reset mode. In this mode, the output Q is high impedance. If an internal operation (Write, Erase or Program cycle) is in progress when Reset (Reset) is driven Low, the device enters the Reset mode and any on-going Write, Program or Erase cycle is aborted. The addressed data may be lost. 2.6 Write Protect (W) This input signal puts the device in the Hardware Protected mode, when Write Protect (W) is connected to VSS, causing the first 256 pages of memory to become read-only by protecting them from write, program and erase operations. When Write Protect (W) is connected to VCC, the first 256 pages of memory behave like the other pages of memory. 8/45 M45PE16 2.7 Signal description VCC supply voltage VCC is the supply voltage. 2.8 VSS ground VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage. 9/45 SPI modes 3 M45PE16 SPI modes These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of the two following 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 the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 4, is the clock polarity when the bus master is in Stand-by 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.

The Write Protect (W) and Hold (HOLD) signals should be driven, High or Low as appropriate. Figure 3 shows an example of three devices connected to 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. The pull-up resistor R (represented in Figure 3) ensures that no device is selected if the Bus Master leaves the S line in the high impedance state. In applications where the Bus Master might enter a state where all inputs/outputs SPI lines are in high impedance at the same time (for example, if the Bus Master is reset during the transmission of an instruction), the clock line (C) must be connected to an external pulldown resistor so that, if all inputs/outputs become high impedance, the C line is pulled Low (while the S line is pulled High). This ensures that S and C do not become High at the same time, and so, that the tSHCH requirement is met. 10/45 M45PE16 SPI modes The typical value of R is 100 kΩ, assuming that the time constant R*Cp (Cp = parasitic capacitance of the bus line) is short enough, as the S and C lines must reach the correct state (S = High and C = Low) while the SPI bus is in high impedance. Example: Cp = 50 pF, that is R*Cp = 5 µs <=> the application must ensure that the Bus Master never leaves the SPI bus in the high impedance state for a time period shorter than 5 µs. Figure 4. SPI modes supported CPOL CPHA 0 0 C 1 1 C D Q MSB MSB AI01438B 11/45 Operating features 4 Operating features 4.1 Sharing the overhead of modifying data M45PE16 To write or program one (or more) 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 four bytes plus data. This is followed by the internal cycle (of duration tPW or tPP). To share this overhead, the Page Write (PW) or Page Program (PP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes to be programmed (changing bits from 1 to 0) or written (changing bits to 0 or 1) at 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 corresponding bytes of the addressed memory page. The addressed memory page then 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 byte-by-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 (PW) sequences with each containing only a few Bytes (see Page Write (PW) and Table 12: AC characteristics). 12/45 M45PE16 4.3 Operating features A fast way 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 bits 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. For 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 Page Program (PP) and Table 12: AC characteristics). 4.4 Polling during a Write, Program or Erase cycle A further improvement in the write, program or erase time can be achieved by not waiting for 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 value, 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, Stand-by Power and Deep Power-Down modes When Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is enabled, and in the Active Power mode. When Chip Select (S) is High, the device is disabled, but could remain in the Active Power mode until all internal cycles have completed (Program, Erase, Write). The device then goes in to the Stand-by Power mode. The device consumption drops to ICC1. The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the specific instruction (the Enter Deep Power-down Mode (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 Mode and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction) is executed. All other instructions are ignored while the device is in the Deep Power-down mode. This can be used as an extra software protection mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to protect the device from inadvertent Write, Program or Erase instructions. 13/45 Operating features 4.7 M45PE16 Status Register The Status Register contains two status bits that can be read by the Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction. See Section 6.4: Read Status Register (RDSR) for 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 operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the M45PE16 boasts 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. ● Program, 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: – 14/45 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 pages of memory behave like the other pages of memory ● 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. M45PE16 5 Memory organization Memory organization The memory is organized as: ● 8192 pages (256 bytes each). ● 2,097,152 bytes (8 bits each) ● 32 sectors (512 Kbits, 65536 bytes each) Each page can be individually: ● programmed (bits are programmed from 1 to 0) ● erased (bits are erased from 0 to 1) ● written (bits are changed to either 0 or 1) The device is Page or Sector Erasable (bits are erased from 0 to 1).

Serial Data Input (D) is sampled on the first rising edge of Serial Clock (C) after Chip Select (S) is driven Low. Then, the one-byte instruction code must be shifted in to the 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 both or none. In the case of a Read Data Bytes (READ), Read Data Bytes at Higher 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) instruction, Chip Select (S) must be driven High exactly at a byte boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is not executed. That is, Chip Select (S) must driven High when the number of clock pulses after Chip Select (S) being driven Low is an exact multiple of eight. All attempts to access the memory array during a Write cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle are ignored, and the internal Write cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle continues unaffected. Table 3.

The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set prior to every Page Write (PW), Page Program (PP), Page Erase (PE), and Sector Erase (SE) instruction. The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, sending the instruction code, and then driving Chip Select (S) High. Figure 6.

The Write Disable (WRDI) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, sending the instruction code, and then driving Chip Select (S) High. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset under the following conditions: ● Power-up ● 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 Figure 7. Write Disable (WRDI) instruction sequence S 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 C Instruction D High Impedance Q AI03750D 19/45 Instructions 6.3 M45PE16 Read Identification (RDID) The Read Identification (RDID) instruction allows the 8-bit manufacturer identification to be read, followed by two bytes of device identification. The manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC, and has the value 20h for STMicroelectronics. The device identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and indicates the memory type in the first byte (40h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte (15h). 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. This is followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory, being shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being 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 by driving Chip Select (S) High at any time during data output. When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the Stand-by Power mode. Once in the Stand-by Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. Table 4.

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 instruction to the device. 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 to 1, such a cycle is in progress, when reset to 0 no such cycle is in progress. 6.4.2 WEL bit The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. 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. Table 5. Status Register Format b7 b0 0 0 0 0 0 (1) 0 WIP(1) WEL 1. WEL and WIP are volatile read-only bits (WEL is set and reset by specific instructions; WIP is automatically set and reset by the internal logic of the device). Figure 9.

The instruction code 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 Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (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 whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data 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. Figure 10.

The instruction code for the Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each 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 whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_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 at Higher Speed (FAST_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 at Higher Speed (FAST_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. Figure 11.

Address bits A23 to A21 are Don’t Care. 23/45 Instructions 6.7 M45PE16 Page Write (PW) The Page Write (PW) instruction allows bytes to be written in the memory. 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 Write (PW) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data Input (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 address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data exceeding the addressed page boundary roll over, and are written from the start address of the same page (the one whose 8 least significant address 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 12. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be written correctly within the same page. If less than 256 Data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly written at the requested addresses without having any effects 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 Table 12: AC characteristics). 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 driven High, the self-timed Page Write cycle (whose duration is tPW) is initiated. While the Page Write 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 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 Hardware 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. 24/45 M45PE16 Instructions Figure 12.

Address bits A23 to A21 are Don’t Care 2. 1 ≤n ≤256 25/45 Instructions 6.8 M45PE16 Page Program (PP) The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0, only). 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 Program (PP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed 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 zero, all transmitted data exceeding the addressed page boundary roll over, and are programmed from the start address of the same page (the one whose 8 least significant address 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 than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256 Data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page. For 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 12: AC characteristics). 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 before the cycle is complete, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. A Page Program (PP) instruction applied to a page that is Hardware Protected is not executed. Any Page Program (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. 26/45 M45PE16 Instructions Figure 13.

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 Erase (PE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Page Erase cycle (whose duration is tPE) is initiated. While the Page Erase 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 selftimed 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 rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 14.

Address bits A23 to A21 are Don’t Care. 28/45 M45PE16 6.10 Instructions Sector Erase (SE) The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen sector. 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 Sector Erase (SE) 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 Sector (see Table 3) 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 driven High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector Erase 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 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 Hardware 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. Figure 15.

Address bits A23 to A21 are Don’t Care. 29/45 Instructions 6.11 M45PE16 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 software protection mechanism, while the device is not in active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase instructions. Driving Chip Select (S) High deselects the device, and puts the device in the Standby mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the Deep Powerdown mode. The Deep Power-down mode can only be entered by executing the 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 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 before the supply current is reduced 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. Figure 16.

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, 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 17. The Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock (C), while Chip Select (S) is driven Low, cause the instruction to be rejected, and not executed. After Chip Select (S) has been driven High, followed by a delay, tRDP, the device is put in the Standby mode. Chip Select (S) must remain High at least until this period is over. 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. Figure 17. Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction sequence S 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 tRDP C Instruction D High Impedance Q Deep Power-down Mode Stand-by Mode AI06807 31/45 Power-up and Power-down 7 M45PE16 Power-up and Power-down At Power-up and Power-down, the device must not be selected (that is Chip Select (S) must 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 avoid data corruption and inadvertent write operations during power up, a Power On Reset (POR) circuit is included. The logic inside the device is held reset while VCC is less than the POR threshold value, VWI – all operations are disabled, and the device does not respond to any instruction. Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable (WREN), Page Write (PW), Page Program (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, by 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 protection, the Reset (Reset) signal could be driven Low for the whole duration of the Power-up and Power-down phases. At Power-up, the device is in the following state: ● The device is in the Standby mode (not the Deep Power-down mode). ● The Write Enable 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 feed. Each device in a system should have the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package pins. (Generally, this capacitor is of the order of 100 nF). At Power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to below the POR threshold value, VWI, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond to any instruction. (The designer needs to be aware that if a Power-down occurs while a Write, Program or Erase cycle is in progress, some data corruption can result.) 32/45 M45PE16 Power-up and Power-down Figure 18.
