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).
programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256
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
last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the Page
Program (PP) instruction is not executed.

As soon as Chip Select ( ) is driven High, the self-timed Page
bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data Input (DIO). If
the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all
transmitted data that goes beyond the end of the current page
are programmed from the start address of the same page (from
the address whose 8 least significant bits (A7-A0) are all zero).
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.
S
Chip Select ( ) must be driven Low for the entire duration of
the sequence.
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
A Page Program (PP) instruction applied to a page which is
protected by the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table
2 and Table 1) is not executed.
