Getting Started

To interface with this memory, configure your microcontroller SPI peripheral for Mode 0 or Mode 3. Ensure your hardware design includes 0.1uF decoupling capacitors near the VDD pin and pull-up resistors on the WP# and HOLD# pins if they are not actively controlled. Software implementation can leverage standard SPI NOR Flash libraries by utilizing the JEDEC ID for device identification.
