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 EPROM should be kept in unprogrammable state during VCC on/off by using CPU RESET signal.

2.1 Protection by CE, OE, WE
To realize the unprogrammable state, the input level of control pins must be held as shown in the table below.

2.2 Protection by RES (only the R1EV58256BxxR series)
The unprogrammable state can be realized by that the CPU’s reset signal inputs directly to the EEPROM’s RES
pin. RES should be kept VSS level during VCC on/off.
The EEPROM breaks off programming operation when RES becomes low, programming operation doesn’t
finish correctly in case that RES falls low during programming operation. RES should be kept high for 10 ms
after the last data input.
