Block Erase (BE)
The Block Erase (BE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside
the chosen block. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction must previously have been executed.
After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded,
the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Block Erase (BE) instruction is entered by driving Chip

the Status Register may be read to check the value of the
Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit
is 1 during the self-timed Block Erase cycle, and is 0 when it
is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is
completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Block Erase (BE) instruction applied to a page which is
