The status register contains 8-bits for write protection

control and write status. (See Table 1). It is the only

region of memory other than the main array that is

accessible by the user.

The Status Register is Read-Only if either: a) Hardware

Write Protection is enabled or b) WEN is set to 1. If

neither is true, it can be modified by a valid instruction.

Ready (

RDY

RDY), Bit 0: When RDY = 1, it indicates that

the device is busy with a write cycle.

RDY = 0 indi-

cates that the device is ready for an instruction. If

RDY

= 1, the only command that will be handled by the

device is Read Status Register.

Don’t Care, Bits 4-7: Each of these bits can receive

either 0 or 1, but values will not be retained. When

these bits are read from the register, they are always 0.

Note: X = Don't care bit.

Block Protect (BP1, BP0), Bits 2-3: Together, these

bits represent one of four block protection configurations

implemented for the memory array. (See Table 2 for

details.)

BP0 and BP1 are non-volatile cells similar to regular

array cells, and factory programmed to 0. The block of

memory defined by these bits is always protected,

regardless of the setting of

WP or WEN.

Write Enable (WEN), Bit 1: This bit represents the

status of device write protection. If WEN = 0, the Status

tion, regardless of the setting of

WP pin or block protec-

tion. The only way to set WEN to 1 is via the Write

Enable command (WREN). WEN is reset to 0 upon

power-up, successful completion of Write, WRDI,

WRSR, or

WP being Low.
