Chip-Erase
The Chip-Erase instruction clears all bits in the device to FFH. A
Chip-Erase instruction will be ignored if any of the memory area
is protected. Prior to any Write operation, the Write-Enable
(WREN) instruction must be executed. CE must remain active
low for the duration of the Chip-Erase instruction sequence. The
Chip-Erase instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
Read-Status-Register (RDSR)
The Read-Status-Register (RDSR) instruction allows reading of
the status register. The status register may be read at any time
even during a Write (Program/Erase) operation.
When a Write operation is in progress, the Busy bit may be
checked before sending any new commands to assure that the
new commands are properly received by the device.
