Read-While-Write and Read-While-Erase
The Numonyx™ Wireless Flash Memory (W18) supports flexible multi-partition dual-
operation architecture. By dividing the flash memory into many separate partitions, the
device can read from one partition while programing or erasing in another partition;
hence the terms, RWW and RWE. Both of these features greatly enhance data storage
performance.

Operation
Repeat for subsequent block erasures.
Full status register check can be done after each block erase
or after a sequence of block erasures.
Operation
SR[3,1] must be cleared before the WSM will allow further
erase attempts.
Only the Clear Status Register command clears SR[5:3,1].
If an error is detected, clear the Status register before
attempting an erase retry or other error recovery.
