Chip-Erase
The Chip-Erase instruction clears all bits in the device to FFH. A
Chip-Erase instruction will be ignored if any of the memory area
is protected. Prior to any Write operation, the Write-Enable
60H. CE must be driven high before the instruction is executed.
The user may poll the Busy bit in the software status register or
wait TCE for the completion of the internal self-timed Chip-Erase
cycle.
(WREN) instruction must be executed. CE must remain active
low for the duration of the Chip-Erase instruction sequence. The
Chip-Erase instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
See Figure 9 for the Chip-Erase sequence.

Read-Status-Register (RDSR)
The Read-Status-Register (RDSR) instruction allows reading of
the status register. The status register may be read at any time
even during a Write (Program/Erase) operation.
When a Write operation is in progress, the Busy bit may be
checked before sending any new commands to assure that the
new commands are properly received by the device.
and remain low until the status data is read.
Read-Status-Register is continuous with ongoing clock cycles
until it is terminated by a low to high transition of the CE
See Figure 10 for the RDSR instruction sequence.
CE must be driven low before the RDSR instruction is entered
