In APS mode, the typical ICCR current is 1 mA at

Pinout and Pin Description
The status register and RY/BY# output indicate
whether or not the device is busy executing or
ready for a new command. Polling the status
register, system software retrieves WSM feedback.
The RY/BY# output gives an additional indicator of
WSM activity by providing a hardware status signal.
Like the status register, RY/BY#-low indicates that
The family of devices is available in 40-lead TSOP
(Thin Small Outline Package, 1.2 mm thick) and
44-lead PSOP (Plastic Small Outline Package) and
40-bump µBGA* CSP (28F008SC and 28F016SC
only). Pinouts are shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4.
