M29W008AB120N6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum number of erase cycles for this device?
  The M29W008AB120N6 has a minimum of 100,000 erase cycles per sector, and a total of 1,000,000 erase cycles per device.
• How do I handle the hold signal (HOLD#) during read and write operations?
  The HOLD# signal should be asserted low to pause the current operation, and de-asserted high to resume the operation. During hold, the device will tri-state its outputs and ignore any input signals.
• What is the recommended power-up sequence for this device?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VPP (if used), and then the clock signal. The device should be in a standby state during power-up.
• How do I determine the device's status during a write or erase operation?
  The device provides a Ready/Busy# (RB#) output signal that indicates the device's status. When RB# is low, the device is busy, and when it's high, the device is ready for the next operation.
• What is the purpose of the Write Protect (WP#) signal?
  The WP# signal is used to protect the entire device or specific sectors from accidental writes or erases. When WP# is low, the device or sector is write-protected.
