A25L016 Series
Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be
programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0).
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).

Data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed
at the requested addresses without having any effects on the
other bytes of the same page.

Chip Select ( ) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the

As soon as Chip Select ( ) is driven High, the self-timed

zero, all transmitted data that goes beyond the end of the
current page are programmed from the start address of the

Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While
the Page Program 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
Page Program 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.

The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 12. If more than
256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are
discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be
