CLEAR STATUS REGISTER COMMAND
and SR1 to “1s.” These bits, which indicate various
failure conditions, can only be reset by the CLEAR STA-
TUS REGISTER command. Allowing system software to
reset these bits can perform several operations (such
as cumulatively erasing or locking multiple blocks or
writing several bytes in sequence). To determine if an
error occurred during the sequence, the status register
may be polled. To clear the status register, the CLEAR
STATUS REGISTER command (50h) is written. The
CLEAR STATUS REGISTER command functions inde-
pendently of the applied V
when the ISM is off or the device is suspended.
BLOCK ERASE COMMAND
mand that erases one block. First, a block erase setup is
written, followed by a block erase confirm. This com-
mand sequence requires an appropriate address within
the block to be erased. The ISM handles all block pre-
conditioning, erase, and verify. Time
cycle block erase sequence is written, the device auto-
matically outputs status register data when read. The
CPU can detect block erase completion by analyzing
the output of the STS pin or status register bit SR7.
Toggle OE# or CEx to update the status register. Upon
block erase completion, status register bit SR5 should
be checked to detect any block erase error. When an
error is detected, the status register should be cleared
before system software attempts corrective actions.
The CEL remains in read status register mode until a
new command is issued. This two-step setup command
sequence ensures that block contents are not acciden-
tally erased. An invalid block erase command sequence

Successful block erase requires that the corresponding
block lock bit be cleared. Similarly, SR1 and SR5 are set
to “1” if block erase is attempted when the correspond-
ing block lock bit is set.
BLOCK ERASE SUSPEND COMMAND
block erase interruption in order to read or program
data in another block of memory. Writing the BLOCK
ERASE SUSPEND command immediately after start-
ing the block erase process requests that the ISM sus-
pend the block erase sequence at an appropriate point
in the algorithm. When reading after the BLOCK ERASE
SUSPEND command is written, the device outputs sta-
tus register data. Polling status register bit SR7, fol-
lowed by SR6, shows when the BLOCK ERASE opera-
tion has been suspended. In the default mode, STS
also transitions to V
suspend latency. At this point, a READ ARRAY com-
mand can be written to read data from blocks other
than that which is suspended. During erase suspend
to program data in other blocks, a program command
sequence can also be issued. During a PROGRAM op-
eration with block erase suspended, status register bit
SR7 returns to “0” and STS output (in default mode)
transitions to V
block erase suspend status. Using the PROGRAM SUS-
PEND command, a PROGRAM operation can also be
suspended. Resuming a suspended programming op-
