edge of Serial Clock (C). Then, the 8-bit Electronic Signature,
stored in the memory, is shifted out on Serial Data Output
(DO), each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 19.
The Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic
Signature (RES) instruction is terminated by driving Chip
Release from Deep Power-down and Read

Once the device has entered the Deep Power-down mode,
all instructions are ignored except the Release from Deep

instruction. Executing this instruction takes the device out of
the Deep Power-down mode.

Except while an Erase, Program or Write Status Register
cycle is in progress, the Release from Deep Power-down and
Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction always provides
access to the 8-bit Electronic Signature of the device, and
can be applied even if the Deep Power-down mode has not
been entered.

When Chip Select ( ) is driven High, the device is put in the
Stand-by Power mode. If the device was not previously in the
Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Stand-by
Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in the
Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Stand-
