(1) avoid executing the read for verifica tion in the same cycle as the write operation it foll ows. verify the written data after inputting an ad dress or switching the /cs signal. (2) please ensure that your design is no t subject to adverse effects becaus e of distortion or skewing of the din input waveform (figure 2). drive /we low (write ) after determining the data on din (see figure 3). time din waveform skew figure 2 din input waveform distortion of input waveform input threshold voltage *1: write verify : after data is written within the same address cycle, perform data-read operation. figure 1. write verify timing add /cs /we din strb fixed to a low level /d d read operation /oe /we din /d d after the din data is determined, drive /we low. figure 3 write verify timing (countermeasure applied) voltage
