Signal description
2.5
V
SS
ground
V
SS
is the reference for the V
CC
supply voltage.

2.6.1
Supply voltage (V
CC
)
Operating supply voltage V
CC
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable V
CC
voltage
within the specified [V
CC
(min), V
CC
(max)] range must be applied (see
In order to
secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the V
CC
line with a
suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF to 100 nF) close to the V
CC
/V
SS
package
pins.
This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction
and, for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (t
W
).
2.6.2
Power-up conditions
When the power supply is turned on, V
CC
rises from V
SS
to V
CC
. The V
CC
rise time must not
vary faster than 1 V/µs.
2.6.3
Device reset
In order to prevent inadvertent Write operations during power-up, a power on reset (POR)
circuit is included. At power-up (continuous rise of V
CC
), the device does not respond to any
instruction until V
CC
has reached the power on reset threshold voltage (this threshold is
lower than the minimum V
CC
operating voltage defined in
When V
CC
passes over
the POR threshold, the device is reset and is in Standby Power mode.
In a similar way, during power-down (continuous decrease in V
CC
), as soon as V
CC
drops
below the Power On Reset threshold voltage, the device stops responding to any instruction
sent to it.
2.6.4
Power-down conditions
During power-down (continuous decrease in V
CC
), the device must be in the Standby Power
mode (mode reached after decoding a Stop condition, assuming that is there is no internal
Write cycle in progress).
