– Write Disable (WRDI)
– Write Status Register (WRSR)
Software Protected Mode (SPM): The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits define the section of the
memory array that can be read but not programmed or erased. Table 7.1 and Table 7.2 show the sizes and
address ranges of protected areas that are defined by Status Register bits BP2:BP0.
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM): The Write Protect (W#) input and the Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit together provide write protection.
Clock Pulse Count: The device verifies that all program, erase, and Write Status Register commands
consist of a clock pulse count that is a multiple of eight before executing them.
