The operation of the device is controlled by writing
commands to the registers. The command register is a
function that latches the address and data necessary for
executing an instruction and does not occupy the memory
area.
If an illegal address or data is written or if an address or
data is written in the wrong sequence, the device is reset to
the read mode.

Automatic Sleep Mode
Standby Mode
The automatic sleep mode is used to reduce the power
consumption substantially during a read operation.
If an address is held longer than the minimum read
cycle time (tRC), the sleep mode (low power
consumption mode) is automatically set. In this mode, the
output data is latched and continuously output.
The standby mode is set when VIH is input to the
