100,000 erase cycle typical per sector
20-year typical data retention
— Sector Protection: hardware-level method of
preventing write operations within a sector
— Temporary Sector Unprotect: VID-level method of
changing code in locked sectors
Performance Characteristics
— Hardware reset input (RESET#) resets device
— Ready/Busy# output (RY/BY#) indicates program or
erase cycle completion
High performance
