Sector Erase (SE)

The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh)

all bits inside the chosen sector. Before it can be

accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction

must previously have been executed. After the

Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decod-

ed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).

The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by

driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the in-

struction code, and three address bytes on Serial

Data Input (D). Any address inside the Sector (see

Table 3.) is a valid address for the Sector Erase

(SE) instruction. Chip Select (S) must be driven

Low for the entire duration of the sequence.

The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16..

Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the

eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched

in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is

not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven

High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose du-

ration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector Erase cy-

cle is in progress, the Status Register may be read

to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP)

bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the

self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is

completed. At some unspecified time before the

cycle is complete, the Write Enable Latch (WEL)

bit is reset.

A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a sector

that contains a page that is Hardware Protected is

not executed.

Any Sector Erase (SE) instruction, while an Erase,

Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected

without having any effects on the cycle that is in

progress.
