### Internal Electronic Components & Pins
The device operates using a standard 4-wire SPI bus. Below is the functional breakdown of the pins:
* **Chip Select ($\bar{S}$):** Activates the device when held low.
* **Serial Data Input (D):** Receives instructions, addresses, and data.
* **Serial Data Output (Q):** Transfers data out of the memory.
* **Serial Clock (C):** Synchronizes data movement.
* **Hold ($\bar{HOLD}$):** Pauses serial communication without deselecting the device.
* **Write Protect ($\bar{W}$):** Provides hardware protection against unauthorized write operations.

### Operational Modes
The M95320 supports the following SPI modes:
1. **Mode 0 (0,0):** Clock idle state is low.
2. **Mode 3 (1,1):** Clock idle state is high.
