Write Disable
The Write Disable command is used to reset the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register to the logical "0"
state. With the WEL bit reset, all Byte/Page Program, erase, Protect Sector, Unprotect Sector, Sector Lockdown, Freeze
Sector Lockdown State, Program OTP Security Register, and Write Status Register commands will not be executed. Other
conditions can also cause the WEL bit to be reset; for more details, refer to the WEL bit section of the Status Register
description.
To issue the Write Disable command, the CS pin must first be asserted and the opcode of 04h must be clocked into the
device. No address bytes need to be clocked into the device, and any data clocked in after the opcode will be ignored.
When the CS pin is deasserted, the WEL bit in the Status Register will be reset to a logical “0”. The complete opcode must
be clocked into the device before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be deasserted on an even byte boundary
(multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the device will abort the operation and the state of the WEL bit will not change.
Figure 9-2.
Protect Sector
Every physical 64-Kbyte sector of the device has a corresponding single-bit Sector Protection Register that is used to
control the software protection of a sector. Upon device power-up, each Sector Protection Register will default to the
logical “1” state indicating that all sectors are protected and cannot be programmed or erased.
Issuing the Protect Sector command to a particular sector address will set the corresponding Sector Protection Register to
the logical “1” state. The following table outlines the two states of the Sector Protection Registers.
Table 9-1.
Before the Protect Sector command can be issued, the Write Enable command must have been previously issued to set
the WEL bit in the Status Register to a logical “1”. To issue the Protect Sector command, the CS pin must first be asserted
and the opcode of 36h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes designating any address within
the sector to be protected. Any additional data clocked into the device will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the
Sector Protection Register corresponding to the physical sector addressed by A23-A0 will be set to the logical “1” state,
and the sector itself will then be protected from program and erase operations. In addition, the WEL bit in the Status
Register will be reset back to the logical “0” state.
