12. Deep Power-Down

During normal operation, the device is placed in the standby mode to consume less power as long as the CS pin

remains deasserted and no internal operation is in progress. The Deep Power-Down command offers the ability to

place the device into an even lower power consumption state called the Deep Power-Down mode.

When the device is in the Deep Power-Down mode, all commands including the Status Register Read command

are ignored with the exception of the Resume from Deep Power-Down command. Since all commands are

ignored, the mode can be used as an extra protection mechanism against program and erase operations.

Entering the Deep Power-Down mode is accomplished by simply asserting the CS pin, clocking in the opcode

B9h, and then deasserting the CS pin. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode are ignored.

When the CS pin is deasserted, the device enters the Deep Power-Down mode within the maximum time of tEDPD.

The complete opcode must be clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted; otherwise, the device aborts the

operation and return to the standby mode once the CS pin is deasserted. In addition, the device defaults to the

standby mode after a power cycle.

The Deep Power-Down command is ignored if an internally self-timed operation such as a program or erase cycle

is in progress. The Deep Power-Down command must be reissued after the internally self-timed operation has

been completed in order for the device to enter the Deep Power-Down mode.
