Any address inside the block is a valid address for the 32KB Block Erase (BE) command. CS# must be driven
low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The 32KB Block Erase command sequence: CS# goes low → sending 32KB Block Erase command → 3-byte
address on SI→ CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure21. CS# must be driven high after
the eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the 32KB Block Erase (BE) command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Block Erase cycle (whose duration is tBE) is initiated.
While the Block Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In
Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Block Erase cycle, and is 0 when
it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is
reset. A 32KB Block Erase (BE) command applied to a block which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4,
BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table1.) is not executed.

7.18. 64KB Block Erase (BE) (D8H)
The 64KB Block Erase (BE) command is for erasing the all data of the chosen block. A Write Enable (WREN)
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The 64KB Block Erase
(BE) command is entered by driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and three address bytes on SI.
