5.33 Read Block-Protection Register
(RBPR)
The Read Block-Protection Register instruction outputs
the Block-Protection register data which determines
the protection status. To execute a Read Block-Protec-
tion Register operation, the host drives CE# low, and
then sends the Read Block-Protection Register com-
mand cycle (72H). A dummy cycle is required in SQI
mode.
After the command cycle, the device outputs data on
the falling edge of the SCK signal starting with the most
significant bit(s), see Table 5-6 for definitions of each bit
in the Block-Protection register. The RBPR command
does not wrap around. After all data has been output,
the device will output 0H until terminated by a low-to-
high transition on CE#. Figures 5-36 and 5-37.
