STANDBY MODE
RESET#: HARDWARE RESET PIN
When the system is not reading or writing to the device,
it can place the device in the standby mode. In this mode,
current consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs
are placed in the high impedance state, independent of
the OE# input.
The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of resetting
the device to reading array data. When the system drives
the RESET# pin to VIL for at least a period of tRP, the
device immediately terminates any operation in
progress, tristates all data output pins, and ignores all
read/write attempts for the duration of the RESET# pulse.
The device also resets the internal state machine to
reading array data. The operation that was interrupted
should be reinitiated once the device is ready to accept
another command sequence, to ensure data integrity.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the
CE# and RESET# pins are both held at VCC 0.3 V.
(Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
VIH.) If CE# and RESET# are held at VIH, but not within
VCC 0.3 V, the device will be in the standby mode, but
the standby current will be greater. The device requires
standard access time (tCE) for read access when the device
is in either of these standby modes, before it is ready to
read data.
Current is reduced for the duration of the RESET# pulse.
When RESET# is held at VSS 0.3 V, the device draws
CMOS standby current (ICC4). If RESET# is held at VIL but
not within VSS 0.3 V, the standby current will be greater.
If the device is deselected during erasure or programming,
the device draws active current until the operation is
completed.
The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry.
Asystem reset would thus also reset the Flash memory,
enabling the system to read the boot-up firmware from
the Flash memory.
ICC3 and ICC4 represents the standby current specification
shown in the table in DC Characteristics on page 27.
If RESET# is asserted during a program or erase
operation, the RY/BY# pin remains a 0 (busy) until the
internal reset operation is complete, which requires a time
of tREADY (during EmbeddedAlgorithms). The system can
thus monitor RY/BY# to determine whether the reset
operation is complete. If RESET# is asserted when a
program or erase operation is not executing (RY/BY# pin
is 1), the reset operation is completed within a time of
tREADY (not during EmbeddedAlgorithms). The system can
read data tRH after the RESET# pin returns to VIH.Refer to
the tables inAC Characteristics on page 29 for RESET#
parameters and to Figure 13, on page 30 for the timing
diagram.
AUTOMATIC SLEEP MODE
The automatic sleep mode minimizes Flash device energy
consumption. The device automatically enables this mode
when addresses remain stable for tACC + 30 ns. The
automatic sleep mode is independent of the CE#, WE#,
and OE# control signals. Standard address access timings
provide new data when addresses are changed. While in
sleep mode, output data is latched and always available
to the system. ICC4 in the DC Characteristics on page 27
represents the automatic sleep mode current specification.
