Pin Function Specifications and Circuit Principle Instructions
Package Type and Pin Count: Package Type: SOIC-16 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) Pin Count: 16 pinsHere's a detailed description of the pin functions:
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 SO Serial Output: This is the output pin for the serial data read. It is used to send data out of the flash memory to the connected microcontroller or other devices. 2 W# Write Protect: This pin is active low. When the pin is pulled low, it will disable the write operation to the flash memory, effectively making the memory write-protected. 3 VSS Ground: This pin connects to the ground of the circuit. It is the common reference for the device. 4 SCK Serial Clock : The clock signal for the flash memory. The microcontroller or other master device provides this clock for communication. 5 SI Serial Input: This is the input pin where data is written into the flash memory. It receives serial data from the master device. 6 CS# Chip Select: This pin is used to activate the chip. When pulled low, the flash memory is selected for communication; when high, the chip is not selected. 7 HOLD# Hold: This pin is used to pause the current operation without resetting the device. It is active low. When pulled low, the current operation is held until the pin is released. 8 RES# Reset: This pin resets the chip when it is pulled low. It is typically used to restart the flash memory. 9 VCC Power Supply: This pin connects to the power supply for the chip. The operating voltage range for this device is typically 2.7V to 3.6V. 10 NC No Connect: This pin is not connected to anything inside the chip and can be left unconnected. 11 WP# Write Protect (Alternate): A duplicate of the write protect pin (W#). It is also used to prevent writing to the memory when low. 12 SO Serial Output (Alternate): Duplicate pin for SO (Serial Output). 13 SCK Serial Clock (Alternate): Duplicate pin for SCK (Serial Clock). 14 CS# Chip Select (Alternate): Duplicate pin for CS# (Chip Select). 15 SI Serial Input (Alternate): Duplicate pin for SI (Serial Input). 16 VSS Ground (Alternate): Duplicate pin for VSS (Ground).Circuit Principle Instructions:
The device operates in SPI (Serial Peripheral interface ) mode, communicating with a microcontroller or another device using the SPI protocol. The SCK, SO, SI, and CS# pins are used for the data exchange. The chip has built-in protection mechanisms, such as the Write Protect (W#), which ensures data integrity by preventing accidental writes to the memory. The Hold# and Reset (RES#) pins are useful for controlling the flow of operations, allowing for pauses or resets when needed.
