7.4. Read Status Register (RDSR) (05H or 35H or 15H)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) command is for reading the Status Register. The Status Register may be read
at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles
is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new command to
the device. It is also possible to read the Status Register continuously. For command code “05H”“35H”“15H”,
the SO will output Status Register bits S7~S0 / S15~S8 / S16~S23.

7.5. Write Status Register (WRSR) (01H or 31H or 11H)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows new values to be written to the Status Register. Before it
can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable
(WREN) command has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command has no effect on S23, S20, S19, S18, S17, S16, S15, S10, S1
and S0 of the Status Register. CS# must be driven high after the eighth of the data byte has been latched in.
If not, the Write Status Register (WRSR) command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-
timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Write Status Register cycle is in
progress, the Status Register may still 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 Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. When
the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP4,
BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in
Table1. The Write Status Register (WRSR) command also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register
