Chip Erase (CE)
The Chip Erase (CE) instruction sets all bits to 1 (FFh). Before
it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must
previously have been executed. After the Write Enable
(WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the
Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Chip Erase (CE) instruction is entered by driving Chip

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 Chip Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is
completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
The Chip Erase (CE) instruction is executed only if all Block

instruction is ignored if one, or more, blocks are protected.
