Write Status Register
The Status Register is written by sending a WRSR
instruction according to timing shown in Figure 6. Only
bits 2, 3 and 7 can be written using the WRSR
command.
Write Protection
The Write Protect (¯W¯P¯) pin can be used to protect the
Block Protect bits BP0 and BP1 against being
inadvertently altered. When ¯W¯P¯ is low and the WPEN
bit is set to “1”, write operations to the Status Register
are inhibited. ¯W¯P¯ going low while C¯¯S is still low will
interrupt a write to the status register. If the internal
write cycle has already been initiated, ¯W¯P¯ going low will
have no effect on any write operation to the Status
Register. The ¯W¯P¯ pin function is blocked when the
WPEN bit is set to “0”. The ¯W¯P¯ input timing is shown in
Figure 7.
