Table 5. Protection Modes
Note: 1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 1.
The protection features of the device are summarized in Table
5.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the
Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery state), it is possible to
write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction, regardless of the whether Write Protect

When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the
Status Register is set to 1, two cases need to be considered,
