EN25S10A
Sector Erase (SE) (20h)
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen sector. Before it can be
accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write
Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (CS#) Low, followed by the in-
struction code, and three address bytes on Serial Data Input (DI). Any address inside the Sector (see
Table 2) is a valid address for the Sector Erase (SE) instruction. Chip Select (CS#) must be driven Low
for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 27. Chip Select (CS#) must be driven High after the eighth
bit of the last address byte has been latched in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is not
executed. As soon as Chip Select (CS#) is driven High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose du-
ration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector 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 Sector 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 Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a sector which is protected by the Block Protect (BP3, BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 3) is not executed.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 29.1 while using the Enable Quad Peripheral Interface
mode (EQPI) (38h) command.

32KB Half Block Erase (HBE) (52h)
The Half Block Erase (HBE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen block. Before it can be
accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write
Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Half Block Erase (HBE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (CS#) Low, followed by the in-
struction code, and three address bytes on Serial Data Input (DI). Any address inside the Block (see
Table 2) is a valid address for the Block Erase (BE) instruction. Chip Select (CS#) must be driven Low
for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 28. Chip Select (CS#) must be driven High after the eighth
bit of the last address byte has been latched in, otherwise the Half Block Erase (HBE) instruction is not
executed. As soon as Chip Select (CS#) is driven High, the self-timed Half Block Erase cycle (whose
duration is tHBE) is initiated. While the Half 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 Half 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 Half Block Erase (HBE) instruction applied to a block which is protected by the Block Protect (BP3,
BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 3) is not executed.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 29.1 while using the Enable Quad Peripheral Interface mode
(EQPI) (38h) command.
