Read Status Register Instruction

(RDSR)

The Read Status Register instruction (RDSR) provides

access to the Status register. The Status register may

be read at any time, even during a write cycle. The

Status register is formatted as follows:

The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the

25XX640 is busy with a write operation. When set to a

‘1’, a write is in progress, when set to a ‘0’, no write is

in progress. This bit is read-only.

The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status

of the write enable latch. When set to a ‘1’, the latch

allows writes to the array and Status register, when set

to a ‘0’, the latch prohibits writes to the array and Status

the WREN or WRDI commands regardless of the state

of write protection on the Status register. This bit is

read-only.

The Block Protection (BP0 and BP1) bits indicate

which blocks are currently write-protected. These bits

are set by the user issuing the WRSR instruction. These

bits are nonvolatile.

See Figure 3-6 for RDSR timing sequence.
