Data Protection
The following protection has been implemented to
prevent inadvertent writes to the array:
• The write enable latch is reset on power-up
• A write enable instruction must be issued to set 
the write enable latch
• After a byte write, page write or STATUS register 
write, the write enable latch is reset
• CS must be set high after the proper number of 
clock cycles to start an internal write cycle
• Access to the array during an internal write cycle 
is ignored and programming is continued
2.8
Power-On State
The 25AA02EXX powers on in the following state:
• The device is in low-power Standby mode 
(CS = 1)
• The write enable latch is reset
• SO is in high-impedance state
• A high-to-low-level transition on CS is required to 
enter active state
