2. Data Protection at VCC On/Off
When VCC is turned on or off, noise on the control pins generated by external circuits (CPU, etc) may act as a
trigger and turn the EEPROM to program mode by mistake. To prevent this unintentional programming, the
EEPROM must be kept in an unprogrammable state while the CPU is in an unstable state.
Note: The EEPROM shoud be kept in unprogrammable state during VCC on/off by using CPU RESET
signal.
