able PROM. The memory is accessed via a simple
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) compatible serial bus.
The bus signals required are a clock input (SCK) plus
separate data in (SI) and data out (SO) lines. Access to
the device is controlled through a chip select (CS
Communication to the device can be paused via the
hold pin (HOLD
tions on its inputs will be ignored, with the exception of
chip select, allowing the host to service higher priority
interrupts. Also, write operations to the device can be
disabled via the write protect pin (WP
*25xx040 is used in this document as a generic part number for the 25AA040/25LC040/25C040 devices.

*Notice: Stresses above those listed under ‘Maximum ratings’ may
cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and
functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions
above those indicated in the operational listings of this specification is
not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for an extended
period of time may affect device reliability
