Status Register

The Status Register contains a number of status and control bits, as shown in Table 6, that

can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific instructions. For a detailed description of the

Status Register bits, see Section 6.4: Read Status Register (RDSR).

Protection Modes

The environments where non-volatile memory devices are used can be very noisy. No SPI

device can operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the

M25P10-A features the following data protection mechanisms:

●

Power On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide protection against inadvertant

changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification.

●

Program, Erase and Write Status Register instructions are checked that they consist of

a number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for

execution.

●

All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN)

instruction to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state

by the following events:

–Power-up

–

Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion

–

Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion

–

Page Program (PP) instruction completion

–

Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion

–

Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion

●

The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits allow part of the memory to be configured as read-

only. This is the Software Protected Mode (SPM).

●

The Write Protect (W) signal, in co-operation with the Status Register Write Disable

(SRWD) bit, allows the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits and Status Register Write Disable

(SRWD) bit to be write-protected. This is the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM).

●

In addition to the low power consumption feature, the Deep Power-down mode offers

extra software protection, as all Write, Program and Erase instructions are ignored.
