S25FL032P0XBHI020 datasheet by Spansion

S25FL032P0XBHI020 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum number of erase cycles for this device?
  The S25FL032P0XBHI020 has a minimum of 100,000 erase cycles per sector, and a minimum of 10,000 erase cycles per block.
• How do I handle the hold pin (HOLD#) during low power modes?
  The hold pin (HOLD#) should be driven high during low power modes to prevent the device from responding to external inputs. This ensures that the device remains in a low power state.
• What is the recommended method for detecting the end of a program or erase operation?
  The recommended method is to use the RY/BY# pin, which goes low during a program or erase operation and returns high when the operation is complete. Alternatively, the status register can be polled to check the busy bit (SR7).
• Can I use this device in a system with a 1.8V power supply?
  Yes, the S25FL032P0XBHI020 is compatible with 1.8V power supplies. However, the device's performance and reliability may be affected at lower voltages, so it's essential to consult the datasheet for specific voltage and timing requirements.
• How do I handle the WP# pin during normal operation?
  The WP# pin should be driven high during normal operation to enable write and erase operations. Driving the WP# pin low will put the device in a hardware protected state, preventing accidental writes or erases.
