QE bit. The Quad Enable (QE) bit, non-volatile bit, enable bit only for Quad Input/Output FAST_READ
(EBh) in SPI command. When it is “0” (factory default), it disables Quad Input/Output FAST_READ
(EBh) in SPI command and WP#, HOLD# are enabled. While QE is “1”, it enables Quad Input/Output
FAST_READ (EBh) in SPI command and WP#, HOLD# are disabled. In other words, in SPI mode, the
QE bit needs to be assigned through WRSR to enable or disable SPI command Quad Input/Output
FAST_READ (EBh). If the system goes into Full Quad I/O (EQPI), this QE bit becomes no affection
since WP# and HOLD# function will be disabled by EQPI mode and Quad Input/Output FAST_READ
(EBh) will be always available in EQPI mode.
SRP bit / OTP_LOCK bit. The Status Register Protect (SRP) bit operates in conjunction with the Write
Protect (WP#) signal. The Status Register Write Protect (SRP) bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow
the device to be put in the Hardware Protected mode (when the Status Register Protect (SRP) bit is set
to 1, and Write Protect (WP#) is driven Low). In this mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register
(SRP, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) become read-only bits and the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is
no longer accepted for execution.
In OTP mode, this bit serves as OTP_LOCK bit, user can read/program/erase OTP sector as normal
sector while OTP_LOCK bit value is equal 0, after OTP_LOCK bit is programmed with 1 by WRSR
command, the OTP sector is protected from program and erase operation. The OTP_LOCK bit can only
be programmed once.
Note : In OTP mode, the WRSR command will ignore any input data and program OTP_LOCK bit to 1,
user must clear the protect bits before enter OTP mode and program the OTP code, then execute
WRSR command to lock the OTP sector before leaving OTP mode.
Write Status Register (WRSR) (01h)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows new values to be written to the Status Register.
Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed.
After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write
Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (CS#) Low, followed by
the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data Input (DI).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 10. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no
effect on S1 and S0 of the Status Register. Chip Select (CS#) must be driven High after the eighth bit of
the data byte has been latched in. If not, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed.
As soon as Chip Select (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) instruction allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect
(BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in
Table 3. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status
Register Protect (SRP) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (WP#) signal. The Status Register
Protect (SRP) bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected
Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hardware
Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 10.1 while using the Enable Quad Peripheral Interface mode
(EQPI) (38h) command.
NOTE : In the OTP mode, WRSR command will ignore input data and program OTP_LOCK bit to 1.
