latched-in on Serial Data Input (D) during the rising edge of
Serial Clock (C). Then, the 8-bit Electronic Signature, stored in
the memory, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit
being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17.
The Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic
Signature (RES) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select

Once the device has entered the Deep Power-down mode, all
instructions are ignored except the Release from Deep
Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) 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
