SST29EE020-120-4C-PH Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum number of erase cycles for this device?
  The SST29EE020-120-4C-PH 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 read and write operations?
  The HOLD# pin should be driven low to pause the current operation, and driven high to resume the operation. It's recommended to use the HOLD# pin to pause the operation during power-down or power-up sequences.
• 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 mode during power-up.
• How do I determine the device's status during a write or erase operation?
  The device's status can be determined by monitoring the RY/BY# pin, which goes low during a write or erase operation and returns high when the operation is complete.
• What is the purpose of the WP# pin, and how do I use it?
  The WP# pin is a write protect pin that prevents writing to the status register. To use it, drive WP# low to enable write protection, and drive WP# high to disable write protection.
