PIN DESCRIPTION
VCC
Power supply for device operation. (5.0 V ± 5% or 10%)
A0–A14
Address Inputs for memory locations. Internal latches
hold addresses during write cycles.
VPP
Program voltage input. VPP must be at high voltage in
order to write to the command register. The command
register controls all functions required to alter the mem-
ory array contents. Memory contents cannot be altered
when VPP ≤ VCC +2 V.
CE# (E#)
Chip Enable active low input activates the chip’s control
logic and input buffers. Chip Enable high will deselect
the device and operates the chip in stand-by mode.
VSS
DQ0-DQ7
Ground.
Data Inputs during memory write cycles. Internal
latches hold data during write cycles. Data Outputs
during memory read cycles.
WE# (W)
Write Enable active low input controls the write function
of the command register to the memory array. The target
address is latched on the falling edge of the Write En-
able pulse and the appropriate data is latched on the ris-
ing edge of the pulse. Write Enable high inhibits writing
to the device.
NC
No Connect-corresponding pin is not connected
internally to the die.
OE# (G#)
Output Enable active low input gates the outputs of the
device through the data buffers during memory read
cycles. Output Enable is high during command
sequencing and program/erase operations.
