P30-65nm SBC
Register indicates a ready status (SR.7 = 1). The Status Register should be checked for
any errors, and then cleared. If the Blank Check operation fails, which means the block
is not completely erased, the Status Register bit SR.5 will be set (“1”). CE# or OE#
toggle (during polling) updates the Status Register.
After examining the Status Register, it should be cleared by the Clear Status Register
command before issuing a new command. The device remains in Status Register Mode
until another command is written to the device. Any command can follow once the
Blank Check command is complete.

Erase Suspend
Issuing the Erase Suspend command while erasing suspends the block erase operation.
This allows data to be accessed from memory locations other than the one being
erased. The Erase Suspend command can be issued to any device address. A block
erase operation can be suspended to perform a word or buffer program operation, or a
read operation within any block except the block that is erase suspended (see
Figure 34, “Erase Suspend/Resume Flowchart” on page 75).
When a block erase operation is executing, issuing the Erase Suspend command
requests the WSM to suspend the erase algorithm at predetermined points. The device
continues to output Status Register data after the Erase Suspend command is issued.
Block erase is suspended when Status Register bits SR[7,6] are set. Suspend latency is
specified in Section 15.5, “Program and Erase Characteristics” on page 58.
To read data from the device (other than an erase-suspended block), the Read Array
command must be issued. During Erase Suspend, a Program command can be issued
to any block other than the erase-suspended block. Block erase cannot resume until
program operations initiated during erase suspend complete. Read Array, Read Status
Register, Read Device Identifier, Read CFI, and Erase Resume are valid commands
during Erase Suspend. Additionally, Clear Status Register, Program, Program Suspend,
Block Lock, Block Unlock, and Block Lock-Down are valid commands during Erase
Suspend.
During an erase suspend, deasserting CE# places the device in standby, reducing
active current. VPP must remain at a valid level, and WP# must remain unchanged
while in erase suspend. If RST# is asserted, the device is reset.

9.5
Erase Resume
The Erase Resume command instructs the device to continue erasing, and
automatically clears SR[7,6]. This command can be written to any address. If Status
Register error bits are set, the Status Register should be cleared before issuing the next
instruction. RST# must remain deasserted.
Erase Protection
When VPP = VIL, absolute hardware erase protection is provided for all device blocks. If
VPP ≤ VPPLK, erase operations halt and SR.3 is set indicating a VPP-level error.
