(5) Write Status Register (WRSR)
The WRSR instruction is for changing the values of Status Register Bits. Before sending WRSR instruction, the Write
Enable (WREN) instruction must be decoded and executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in advance. The WRSR
instruction can change the value of Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits to define the protected area of memory (as shown
in table 1). The WRSR also can set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with Write
Protection (WP#) pin signal. The WRSR instruction cannot be executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is
entered.
The sequence of issuing WRSR instruction is: CS# goes low-> sending WRSR instruction code-> Status Register data
on SI-> CS# goes high. (see Figure 16)
The WRSR instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b1, b0 of the status register for.
The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed. The self-
timed Write Status Register cycle time (tW) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in Progress
(WIP) bit still can be check out during the Write Status Register cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the tW timing,
and sets 0 when Write Status Register Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
Note:
1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 1.

When SRWD bit=0, no matter WP# is low or high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit and can change the values
of SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP2, BP1, BP0, is at software protected mode
(SPM).
When SRWD bit=1 and WP# is high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit can change the values of SRWD, BP2,
BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP2, BP1, BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM)
