Block Protect Bits
Write Enable Latch Bits
Write In Progress Bits
WIP bit: The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a Write or Write Status
Register cycle.
WEL bit: The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
BP1, BP0 bits: The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be
software protected against Write instructions.
SRWD bit: The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction 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. In this mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register (SRWD,
BP1, BP0) become read-only bits.
Instructions
Each instruction starts with a single-byte code, as summarized in the following table . If an invalid
instruction is sent (one not contained in the following table), the device automatically deselects itself.
