All input control voltages are specified with tR = tF = 2.5 ns (10% to 90% of 3 V) and timed from a voltage level of 1.5 V. Switching characteristics are measured using both VDD = 3 V and VDD = 35 V. 4 Propagation delay depends on the value of VDD, RPULL-UP, and CL. 5 Valid for commands that do not activate the RDY pin. 6 RDY pin low only for Instructions 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, and the PR hardware pulse: CMD_2, 3 ~ 20 ms; CMD_8 ~ 1 ms; CMD_9, 10 ~ 0.12 ms. Device operation at TA = −40°C and VDD < 3 V extends the EEMEM store time to 35 ms. 7 Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117 and measured at −40°C, +25°C, and +85°C; typical endurance at +25°C is 700,000 cycles. 8 Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 55°C per JEDEC Standard 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV derates with junction temperature, as shown in Figure 45 in the Flash/EEMEM Reliability section. Rev.
