To suspend an on-going erase or program operation, issue the Suspend command to
any device address. The program or erase operation suspends at pre-determined points
during the operation after a delay of tSUSP. Suspend is achieved whenSTS (in RY/BY#
mode) goes high, SR[7,6] = 1 (erase-suspend) or SR[7,2] = 1 (program-suspend).
Note:
Issuing the Suspend command does not change the read mode of the device. The
device will be in Read Status Register mode from when the erase or program command
was first issued, unless the read mode was changed prior to issuing the Suspend
command.
Not all commands are allowed when the device is suspended. Table 25 shows which
device commands are allowed during Program Suspend or Erase Suspend.

During Suspend, array-read operations are not allowed in blocks being erased or
programmed.
A block-erase under program-suspend is not allowed. However, word-program under
erase-suspend is allowed, and can be suspended. This results in a simultaneous erase-
suspend/ program-suspend condition, indicated by SR[7,6,2] = 1.
