Hardware Data Protection

The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles for programming or erasing provides data protection against inadvertent

writes (refer to Table on page 32 for command definitions). In addition, the following hardware data protection measures prevent

accidental erasure or programming, which might otherwise be caused by spurious system level signals during VCC power-up and

power-down transitions, or from system noise.

7.14.1

Low VCC Write Inhibit

When VCC is less than VLKO, the device does not accept any write cycles. This protects data during VCC power-up and power-down.

The command register and all internal program/erase circuits are disabled, and the device resets. Subsequent writes are ignored

until VCC is greater than VLKO. The system must provide the proper signals to the control pins to prevent unintentional writes when

VCC is greater than VLKO.

7.14.2

Write Pulse Glitch Protection

Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or WE# do not initiate a write cycle.

7.14.3

Logical Inhibit

Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# = VIL, CE# = VIH or WE# = VIH. To initiate a write cycle, CE# and WE# must be

a logical zero (VIL) while OE# is a logical one (VIH).

7.14.4

Power-Up Write Inhibit

If WE# = CE# = VIL and OE# = VIH during power up, the device does not accept commands on the rising edge of WE#. The internal

state machine is automatically reset to reading array data on power-up.
