6.3.2 WEL bit
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
When set to 1, the internal Write Enable Latch is set. When set to 0, the internal Write
Enable Latch is reset, and no Write or Write Status Register instruction is accepted.
The WEL bit is returned to its reset state by the following events:
● Power-up
● Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion
● Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion
● Write (WRITE) instruction completion
6.3.3 BP1, BP0 bits
The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are non volatile. They define the size of the area to be
software-protected against Write instructions. These bits are written with the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction. When one or both of the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits is set
to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Ta ble 2 ) becomes protected against Write
(WRITE) instructions. The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits can be written provided that the
Hardware Protected mode has not been set.
6.3.4 SRWD bit
The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write
Protect (W
) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal enable the device to be put in the Hardware Protected mode (when the Status
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect (W
) is driven low). In this
mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP1, BP0) become read-only bits
and the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for execution.
