Note:
  1. The exposed pad on this package can be connected to GND or left floating.
  2. If the WP pin is not driven, it is internally pulled down to GND. To operate in a wide variety of application environments, the pull-down mechanism is intentionally designed to be somewhat strong. Once this pin is biased above the CMOS input buffer’s trip point (~0.5 x VCC), the pull‑down mechanism disengages. Microchip recommends connecting this pin to a known state whenever possible.
