Output Data output pins.
O0 to O7, O8 to O14 are used differently in the WORD mode and the BYTE mode.
WORD mode (2M-word by 16-bit)
The lower 15 bits of 16 bits data outputs to O0 to O14.
(The most significant bit (O15) combined to A−1.)
BYTE mode (4M-word by 8-bit)
8 bits data outputs to O0 to O7 and also O8 to O14 are high impedance.
Output, Input O15, A1 are used differently in the WORD mode and the BYTE mode.

BYTE mode (4M-word by 8-bit)
The least significant address bus (A−1).
Input Chip activating signal.
When the OE is active, output states are following.
High level : High-Z
Low level : Data out
Input Output enable signal. The active level of OE is mask option. The active level of OE
can be selected from high active, low active and Don’t care at order.

Cautions on power application
To ensure normal operation, always apply power using /CE following the procedure shown below.
1) Input a high level to /CE during and after power application.
2) Hold the high level input to /CE for 200 ns or longer (wait time).
3) Start normal operation after the wait time has elapsed.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.

HANDLING OF THE APPLIED WAVEFORM OF INPUT PINS AND THE UNUSED INPUT PINS
FOR CMOS
Note:
Input levels of CMOS devices must be fixed. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or
IL
NMOS devices. If the input of a CMOS device stays in an area that is between V
IH
(MIN.) due to the effects of noise or some other irregularity, malfunction may result.
V
Therefore, not only the input waveform is fixed, but also the waveform changes, it is important
to use the CMOS device under AC test conditions. For unused input pins in particular, CMOS
devices should not be operated in a state where nothing is connected, so input levels of CMOS
devices must be fixed to high or low by using pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused pin
DD
should be connected to V
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device
and related specifications governing the devices.

(MAX.) and
3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.

written consent of NEC Electronics. NEC Electronics assumes no responsibility for any errors that may appear in this document.
NEC Electronics does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of third parties by or arising from the use of NEC Electronics products listed in this document or any other liability arising from the use of such products. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Electronics or others. Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these circuits, software and information in the design of a customer's equipment shall be done under the full responsibility of the customer. NEC Electronics assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by customers or third parties arising from the use of these circuits, software and information.
While NEC Electronics endeavors to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC Electronics products, customers agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC Electronics products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as redundancy, fire-containment and anti-failure features.
NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer­designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application. "Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment and industrial robots.
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed for life support).
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.
(Note) (1) "NEC Electronics" as used in this statement means NEC Electronics Corporation and also includes its
majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC Electronics products" means any product developed or manufactured by or for NEC Electronics (as
defined above).
