M25P05-AVDW6TP datasheet by STMicroelectronics

M25P05-AVDW6TP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum number of erase cycles for the M25P05-AVDW6TP?
  The M25P05-AVDW6TP has a minimum of 100,000 erase cycles, but the actual number of cycles may vary depending on the usage and operating conditions.
• How do I handle the hold pin (HOLD#) during power-up and power-down?
  The HOLD# pin should be kept high during power-up and power-down to prevent any unwanted writes or erases. It's recommended to connect a pull-up resistor to the HOLD# pin to ensure it remains high during these transitions.
• What is the recommended clock frequency for the SPI interface?
  The M25P05-AVDW6TP supports clock frequencies up to 50 MHz, but it's recommended to use a clock frequency of 20 MHz or lower to ensure reliable operation and minimize power consumption.
• How do I handle the WP# pin during normal operation?
  The WP# pin should be kept high during normal operation to allow writes and erases. If the WP# pin is pulled low, the device will enter a protected state, and writes and erases will be disabled.
• What is the minimum and maximum operating temperature range for the M25P05-AVDW6TP?
  The M25P05-AVDW6TP operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, but it's recommended to operate within the range of 0°C to +70°C for optimal performance and reliability.
