11.1.7 SLE Bit

The SLE bit is used to enable and disable the Sector Lockdown and Freeze Sector Lockdown State commands.

When the SLE bit is in the logical “0” state (the default state after power-up), the Sector Lockdown and Freeze Sec-

tor Lockdown commands are disabled. If the Sector Lockdown and Freeze Sector Lockdown commands are

disabled, then any attempts to issue the commands will be ignored. This provides a safeguard for these commands

against accidental or erroneous execution. When the SLE bit is in the logical “1” state, the Sector Lockdown and

Freeze Sector Lockdown State commands are enabled.

Unlike the WEL bit, the SLE bit does not automatically reset after certain device operations. Therefore, once set,

the SLE bit will remain in the logical “1” state until it is modified using the Write Status Register Byte 2 command or

until the device has been power cycled. The Reset command has no effect on the SLE bit.

If the Freeze Sector Lockdown State command has been issued, then the SLE bit will be permanently reset in the

logical “0” state to indicate that the Sector Lockdown command has been disabled.

11.1.8 RDY/BSY Bit

The RDY/BSY bit is used to determine whether or not an internal operation, such as a program or erase, is in prog-

ress. To poll the RDY/BSY bit to detect the completion of a program or erase cycle, new Status Register data must

be continually clocked out of the device until the state of the RDY/BSY bit changes from a logical “1” to a logical “0”.
