Block Protection (BP1, BP0)
The Block-Protection (BP1, BP0) bits define the size of the
memory area, as defined in Table 5, to be software pro-
tected against any memory Write (Program or Erase)
operations. The Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction
is used to program the BP1 and BP0 bits as long as WP#
is high or the Block-Protect-Lock (BPL) bit is 0. Chip-Erase
can only be executed if Block-Protection bits are both 0.
After power-up, BP1 and BP0 are set to 1.
Block Protection Lock-Down (BPL)
WP# pin driven low (V
Lock-Down (BPL) bit. When BPL is set to 1, it prevents any
further alteration of the BPL, BP1, and BP0 bits. When the
WP# pin is driven high (V
its value is “Don’t Care”. After power-up, the BPL bit is
reset to 0.

Auto Address Increment (AAI)
The Auto Address Increment Programming-Status bit pro-

mode or Byte-Program mode. The default at power up is
Byte-Program mode.
