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:
TABLE 2-2:
The Write-In-Process (WIP) bit indicates whether the
25XX160A/B is busy with a write operation. When set
to a ‘
is in progress. This bit is read-only.

The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the write enable latch and is read-only. When set to
a ‘
‘
this bit can always be updated via the WREN or WRDI
commands regardless of the state of write protection
on the STATUS register. These commands are shown
in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.
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, and are shown in Table 2-3.
See Figure 2-6 for the RDSR timing sequence.
