Write Protect (W)
The main purpose of this input signal is to freeze the size of the area of memory that is
protected against Write instructions (as specified by the values in the BP1 and BP0 bits of
the Status Register).
This pin must be driven either high or low, and must be stable during all write instructions.

order to secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the V
a suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF to 100 nF) close to the V
pins.
Power-up conditions
When the power supply is turned on, V

In addition, the Chip Select (S) input offers a built-in safety feature, as the S input is edge-
sensitive as well as level-sensitive: after power-up, the device does not become selected
until a falling edge has first been detected on Chip Select (S). This ensures that Chip Select
(S) must have been high, prior to going low to start the first operation.
