Nonvolatile and Volatile Registers
Nonvolatile and Volatile Registers
The device features the following volatile and nonvolatile registers that users can access
to store device parameters and operating configurations:
• Status register
• Nonvolatile and volatile configuration registers
• Enhanced volatile configuration register
• Flag status register
• Lock register
Note: The lock register is defined in READ LOCK REGISTER Command.
In addition to these user-accessible registers, the working condition of memory is set by
an internal configuration register that is not directly accessible to users. As shown be-
low, parameters in the internal configuration register are loaded from the nonvolatile
configuration register during each device boot phase or power-on reset. In this sense,
then, the nonvolatile configuration register contains the default settings of memory.
Also, during the life of an application, each time a WRITE VOLATILE or ENHANCED
VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command executes to set configuration pa-
rameters in these respective registers, these new settings are copied to the internal con-
figuration register. Therefore, memory settings can be changed in real time. However, at
the next power-on reset, the memory boots according to the memory settings defined
in the nonvolatile configuration register parameters.
