Write Status Register (WRSR) (01h)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows new values to be written to the Status Register.
Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After
the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable
Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (CS#) Low, followed by
the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data Input (DI).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8.. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no
effect on S6, S5, S1 and S0 of the Status Register. S6 and S5 are always read as 0. Chip Select (CS#)
must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (CS#) is driven High, the self-timed
Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Write Status Register cycle is in
progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The
Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in Table
3.. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register
Protect (SRP) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (WP#) signal. The Status Register Protect (SRP)
bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). The
Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is
entered.
