The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows:
WIP bit.
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy in program/erase/write status register progress.
When WIP bit sets to 1, means the device is busy in program/erase/write status register progress, when WIP bit sets 0,
means the device is not in program/erase/write status register progress.
WEL bit.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1 the internal
Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is reset and no Write Status Register, Program or
Erase command is accepted.
BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits.
The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software
protected against Program and Erase commands. These bits are written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) command.
When the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in
Table1).becomes protected against Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE) and Block Erase (BE) commands. The Block
Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set.
The Chip Erase (CE) command is executed, only if the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 0 and CMP=0.
SRP1, SRP0 bits.
The Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0) bits are non-volatile Read/Write bits in the status register. The SRP
bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware protection, power supply lock-down or one time
programmable protection.

NOTE:
1. When SRP1, SRP0= (1, 0), a Power-Down, Power-Up cycle will change SRP1, SRP0 to (0, 0) state.
2. This feature is available on special order. Please contact GigaDevice for details.
QE bit.
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register that allows Quad operation. When
