„ Protect Operation
Table 16 shows the block settings of Write protect. Table 17 shows the protect operation for the device. 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 statuses 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”.
Figure 6 and 7 show the Valid timing in Write protect and Invalid timing in Write protect during the cycle Write to the
status register.
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.
