ADVANCED INFORMATION

Protection Modes

The SPI memory device boasts the following data

protection mechanisms

1) All instructions that modify data must be preceded

by a Write Enable(WREN) instruction to set the

Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to

its reset state by the following events :

- Power-up

- WRDI instruction completion

- WRSR instruction completion

- PP instruction completion

- SE instruction completion

- BE instruction completion

2) The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits allow part

of the memory to be configured as read-only. This is

the Software Protected Mode (SPM).

3) The Write Protect (W#) signal works in coopera-

tion with the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)

bit to enable write-protection. This is the Hardware

Protected Mode (HPM).

4) Program, Erase and Write Status Register instruc-

tions are checked to verify that they consist of a

number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight,

before they are accepted for execution.

If the falling edge does not coincide with Serial Clock

(SCK) being Low, the Hold condition starts after

Serial Clock (SCK) next goes Low. Similarly, If the

rising edge does not coincide with Serial Clock

(SCK) being Low, the Hold condition ends after

Serial Clock (SCK) next goes Low (Figure 3).

During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output

(SO) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (SI)

and Serial Clock (SCK) are Don’t Care.

Normally, the device remains selected, with Chip

Select (CS#) driven Low, for the entire duration of

the Hold condition. This ensures that the state of the

internal logic remains unchanged from the moment

of entering the Hold condition.

If Chip Select (CS#) goes High while the device is in

the Hold condition, this has the effect of resetting the

internal logic of the device. To restart communication

with the device, it is necessary to drive Hold

(HOLD#) High, and then to drive Chip Select (CS#)

Low. This prevents the device from going back to the

Hold condition.
