Write Status Register (WRSR)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction al-
lows new values to be written to the Status Regis-
ter. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction must previously have been ex-
ecuted. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction
has been decoded and executed, the device sets
the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is
entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed
by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial
Data Input (D).
The instruction sequence is shown in
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has
no effect on b6, b5, b4, b1 and b0 of the Status
Register. b6, b5 and b4 are always read as 0.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the rising
edge of Serial Clock (C) that latches in the eighth
bit of the data byte, and before the next rising edge
of Serial Clock (C). Otherwise, the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As
soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-
timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration
is t
cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still
be read to check the value of the Write In Progress

Note: 1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in
The protection features of the device are summa-
rized in
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery
state), it is possible to write to the Status Register
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has
previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) in-
struction, regardless of the whether Write Protect
(W) is driven High or Low.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two cases
need to be considered, depending on the state of
Write Protect (W):

(WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 dur-
ing the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and
is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is com-
pleted, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction al-
lows the user to change the values of the Block
Protect (BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the
area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined
in
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also
allows the user to set or reset the Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the
Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hard-
ware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
The contents of the Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) and Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are fro-
zen at their current values from just before the
start of the execution of Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction. The new, updated, values
take effect at the moment of completion of the ex-
ecution of Write Status Register (WRSR) instruc-
tion.

If Write Protect (W) is driven High, it is
possible to write to the Status Register
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit
has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction.
If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not
possible to write to the Status Register even if
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has
previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction. (Attempts to write to the
Status Register are rejected, and are not
accepted for execution). As a consequence,
