HOLD
Hold: The HOLD pin is used to temporarily pause serial communication without
deselecting or resetting the device. While the HOLD pin is asserted, transitions
on the SCK pin and data on the SI pin will be ignored and the SO pin will be in a
high-impedance state.
The CS pin must be asserted and the SCK pin must be in the low state in order
for a Hold condition to start. A Hold condition pauses serial communication only
and does not have an affect on internally self-timed operations, such as a
program or erase cycle.
for additional details on the Hold
operation.
The HOLD pin is internally pulled-high and may be left floating if the Hold
function will not be used. However, it is recommended that the HOLD pin also
be externally connected to the V
CC
whenever possible.
