Read Status Register (RDSR) (05h)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction allows the Status Register to be read. The Status
Register may be read at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in
progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write In Progress
(WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also possible to read the Status Register
continuously, as shown in Figure 6.

The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows:
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle. When set to 1, such a cycle is in progress, when reset to 0 no such
cycle is in progress.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is
reset and no Write Status Register, Program or Erase instruction is accepted.
BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of
the area to be software protected against Program and Erase instructions. These bits are written with
the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction. When one or both of the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0)
bits is set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 3.) becomes protected against Page
