ERASE: The Erase instruction programs all of the bits in the specified memory location to the Logic 1 state. The
self-timed erase cycle starts once the ERASE instruction and address are decoded. The DO pin outputs the
Ready/Busy status of the part if CS is brought high after being kept low for a minimum of 250ns (tCS). A Logic 1
at the DO pin indicates that the selected memory location has been erased, and the part is ready for another
instruction.

WRITE: The WRITE instruction contains the 8 or 16 bits of data to be written into the specified memory location.
The self-timed programming cycle, tWP, starts after the last bit of data is received at serial data input pin DI. The
DO pin outputs the Ready/Busy status of the part if CS is brought high after being kept low for a minimum of
250ns (tCS). A Logic 0 at DO indicates that programming is still in progress. A Logic 1 indicates that the memory
location at the specified address has been written with the data pattern contained in the instruction and the part
is ready for further instructions. A Ready/Busy status cannot be obtained if the CS is brought high after the end
of the self-timed programming cycle, tWP
.
