Write Protection
Write Protect Pin (WP#)
Figure 4: Hold Condition Waveform
SST25VF040B provides software Write protection. The Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables
the lock-down function of the status register. The Block-Protection bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, and BPL)
in the status register provide Write protection to the memory array and the status register. See Table 4
for the Block-Protection description.
The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down function of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register.
When WP# is driven low, the execution of the Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction is determined
by the value of the BPL bit (see Table 2). When WP# is high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is
disabled.
