Figure 17 WRITE Operation (Page)
 Protect Operation
Table 17 shows the block settings of write protect. Table 18 shows the protect operation for this IC. As long as bit SRWD,
the Status Register write Disable bit, in the status register is reset to "0" (it is in reset before the shipment), the value of
status register can be changed.
These are two statues when bit SRWD is set to "1".
• Write in the status register is possible; write protect ( WP ) is in "H".
• Write in the status register is impossible; write protect ( WP ) is in "L". Therefore the write protect area which is set by
protect bit (BP1, BP0) in the status register cannot be changed.
These operations are to set Hardware Protect (HPM).
• After setting bit SRWD, set write protect ( WP ) to "L".
• Set bit SRWD completed setting write protect ( WP ) to "L".
The timing during the cycle write to the status register is showed in "Figure 7 Valid Timing in Write Protect" and
"Figure 8 Invalid Timing in Write Protect".
By inputting "H" to write protect ( WP ), Hardware Protect (HPM) is released. If the write protect ( WP ) is "H", Hardware
Protect (HPM) does not function, Software Protect (SPM) which is set by the protect bits in the status register (BP1, BP0)
only works.
