■ BLOCK PROTECT

Writing protect block for WRITE command is configured by the value of BP0 and BP1 in the status register.

■ WRITING PROTECT

Writing operation of the WRITE command and the WRSR command are protected with the value of WEL,

WPEN, WP as shown in the table.

■ HOLD OPERATION

Hold status is retained without aborting a command if HOLD is the “L” level while CS is the “L” level. The

timing for starting and ending hold status depends on the SCK to be the “H” level or the “L” level when a

HOLD pin input is transited to the hold condition as shown in the diagram below. In case the HOLD pin

transited to “L” level when SCK is “L” level, return the HOLD pin to “H” level at SCK being “L” level. In the

same manner, in case the HOLD pin transited to “L” level when SCK is “H” level, return the HOLD pin to “H”

level at SCK being “H” level. Arbitrary command operation is interrupted in hold status, SCK and SI inputs

become don’t care. And, SO becomes High-Z while reading command (RDSR, READ). If CS is rising during

hold status, a command is aborted. In case the command is aborted before its recognition, WEL holds the

value before transition to hold status.
