Write Status Register (WRSR) (01h)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows new values to be written to the Status Register.
Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed.
After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write
Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (CS#) Low, followed by
the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data Input (DI).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no
effect on S6, S5, S1 and S0 of the Status Register. S6 and S5 are always read as 0. Chip Select (CS#)
must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (CS#) is driven High, the self-
timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is t_W) is initiated. While the Write Status Register
cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still 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 Write Status Register cycle, and is
0 when it is completed. When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in
Table 3.. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status
Register Protect (SRP) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (WP#) signal. The Status Register
Protect (SRP) bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected
Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hardware
Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
NOTE : In the OTP mode, WRSR command will ignore input data and program OTP_LOCK bit to 1.

Read Data Bytes (READ) (03h)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (CS#) Low. The instruction code for the Read Data
Bytes (READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being latched-in during the
rising edge of Serial Clock (CLK). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial
Data Output (DO), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of
Serial Clock (CLK).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 9. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The
address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out.
The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction. When
the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence
to be continued indefinitely.
The Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (CS#) High. Chip Select
(CS#) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction,
while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the
cycle that is in progress.
