„ Write Disable Function when Power Supply Voltage is Low
The S-93C76A provides a built-in detector to detect a low power supply voltage and disable writing. When
the power supply voltage is low or at power application, the write instructions (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, and
ERAL) are cancelled, and the write disable state (EWDS) is automatically set. The detection voltage is 1.75
V typ., the release voltage is 2.05 V typ., and there is a hysteresis of about 0.3 V (refer to Figure 12).
Therefore, when a write operation is performed after the power supply voltage has dropped and then risen
again up to the level at which writing is possible, a write enable instruction (EWEN) must be sent before a
write instruction (WRITE, ERASE, WRAL, or ERAL) is executed.
When the power supply voltage drops during a write operation, the data being written to an address at that
time is not guaranteed.
