All other instructions are ignored while the device is in the Deep Power-down mode. This
can be used as an extra software protection mechanism, when the device is not in active
use, to protect the device from inadvertent Write, Program or Erase instructions.
Status Register
The Status Register contains two status bits that can be read by the Read Status Register
(RDSR) instruction. See
description of the Status Register bits.
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
M25PE10 and M25PE20 feature the following data protection mechanisms:

Program, Erase and Write 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:

The Reset (Reset) signal can be driven Low to freeze and reset the internal logic. For
the specific cases of Program and Write cycles, the designer should refer to

In addition to the low power consumption feature, the Deep Power-down mode offers
extra software protection from inadvertent Write, Program and Erase instructions while
the device is not in active use.
