1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the
Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-
only, as defined in
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (W) signal. The
Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W) signal allow the device to
be put in the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register (WRSR)
instruction is not executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
The contents of the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) and Block Protect (BP1, BP0)
bits are frozen at their current values from just before the start of the execution of Write
Status Register (WRSR) instruction. The new, updated, values take effect at the moment of
completion of the execution of Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction.
The protection features of the device are summarized in
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial
delivery state), it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction, regardless
of the whether Write Protect (W) is driven High or Low.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two
cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write Protect (W):
Signal

0
If Write Protect (W) is driven High, it is possible to write to the Status Register provided
that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction.
If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not possible to write to the Status Register even
if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN)
instruction. (Attempts to write to the Status Register are rejected, and are not accepted
for execution). As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are
software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register,
are also hardware protected against data modification.
