10.1.6 Status Register Protect (SRP1, SRP0)
The Status Register Protect bits (SRP1 and SRP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register
(S8 and S7). The SRP bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware
protection, power supply lock-down or one time programmable (OTP) protection.

Note:
1. These features are available upon special order. Please contact Winbond for details.
2. When SRP1, SRP0 = (1, 0), a power-down, power-up cycle will change SRP1, SRP0 to (0, 0) state.
10.1.7 Quad Enable (QE)
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (S9) that allows Quad
operation. When the QE bit is set to a 0 state (factory default) the /WP pin and /Hold are enabled. When
the QE pin is set to a 1 the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled.
WARNING: The QE bit should never be set to a 1 during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation if the
/WP or /HOLD pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground.
