M25P64-VMF6TG Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum number of erase cycles for the M25P64-VMF6TG?
  The M25P64-VMF6TG has a minimum of 100,000 erase cycles per sector, and a minimum of 10,000 erase cycles per device.
• How do I handle the hold pin (HOLD#) during read and write operations?
  The hold pin (HOLD#) should be driven low to allow read and write operations. When the hold pin is driven high, the device enters a 'hold' state, and all operations are suspended.
• What is the recommended clock frequency for the M25P64-VMF6TG?
  The recommended clock frequency for the M25P64-VMF6TG is up to 50 MHz for standard SPI mode, and up to 133 MHz for Fast Read and Dual I/O modes.
• How do I handle power-up and power-down sequences for the M25P64-VMF6TG?
  The device should be powered up and down slowly (dv/dt < 10 V/μs) to prevent latch-up and ensure proper operation. The device should be powered up to a stable voltage before accessing it.
• What is the purpose of the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register?
  The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates whether the device is in a write-enabled state. When WEL is set to 1, the device is write-enabled, and when it is set to 0, the device is write-disabled.
