• Manufacturer Part Number: mx25l512
• Description: 512k-bit [x 1] Cmos Serial Flash
• Manufacturer: Macronix International Co.

Note:
1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 1.
As the above table showing, the summary of the Software Protected Mode (SPM) and Hardware Protected Mode (HPM).
Software Protected Mode (SPM):
-
-
Note: If SRWD bit=1 but WP# is low, it is impossible to write the Status Register even if the WEL bit has previously been
P/N: PM1214
(5) Write Status Register (WRSR)
The WRSR instruction is for changing the values of Status Register Bits. Before sending WRSR instruction, the Write
Enable (WREN) instruction must be decoded and executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in advance. The WRSR
instruction can change the value of Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits to define the protected area of memory (as shown in
table 1). The WRSR also can set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with Write Protection
(WP#) pin signal. The WRSR instruction cannot be executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
The sequence of issuing WRSR instruction is: CS# goes low-> sending WRSR instruction code-> Status Register data
on SI-> CS# goes high. (see Figure 15)
The WRSR instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b4, b1, b0 of the status register.
The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed. The self-
timed Write Status Register cycle time (tW) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in Progress
(WIP) bit still can be check out during the Write Status Register cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the tW timing,
and sets 0 when Write Status Register Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.

When SRWD bit=0, no matter WP# is low or high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit and can change the values
of SRWD, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP1, BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM).
When SRWD bit=1 and WP# is high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit can change the values of SRWD, BP1,
BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP1, BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM)
