8.2.4 Read Status Register (0Fh / 05h)
The Read Status Register instructions allow the 8-bit Status Registers to be read. The instruction is
entered by driving /CS low and shifting the instruction code “0Fh or 05h” into the DI pin on the rising edge
of CLK followed by an 8-bit Status Register Address. The status register bits are then shifted out on the
DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure 7. Refer to
section 7.1-3 for Status Register descriptions.
The Read Status Register instruction may be used at any time, even while a Program or Erase cycle is in
progress. This allows the BUSY status bit to be checked to determine when the cycle is complete and if
the device can accept another instruction. The Status Register can be read continuously. The instruction
is completed by driving /CS high.
