You must account for this delay before accessing the memory contents. Alternatively,
you can check the write in progress bit in the status register by executing the read
status operation while the self-timed erase cycle is in progress. The write in progress
bit is 1 during the self-timed erase cycle and 0 when it is complete. The write enable
latch bit in the status register is reset to 0 before the erase cycle is complete.

Erase Sector Operation
The erase sector operation code is b'1101 1000, with the MSB listed first. The erase
sector operation allows the user to erase a certain sector in the serial configuration
device by setting all bits inside the sector to 1 or 0xFF. This operation is useful for
users who access the unused sectors as general purpose memory in their applications.
The write enable operation must be executed prior to the erase sector operation so
that the write enable latch bit in the status register is set to 1.
The erase sector operation is implemented by first driving nCS low, then shifting in
the erase sector operation code and the three address bytes of the chosen sector on the
ASDI pin. The three address bytes for the erase sector operation can be any address
inside the specified sector. (Refer to
range information.) Drive nCS high after the eighth bit of the erase sector operation
code has been latched in.
Immediately after the device drives nCS high, the self-timed erase sector cycle is
initiated. Refer to t
respective EPCS devices. You must account for this amount of delay before the
memory contents can be accessed. Alternatively, you can check the write in progress
bit in the status register by executing the read status operation while the erase cycle is
in progress. The write in progress bit is 1 during the self-timed erase cycle and 0 when
it is complete. The write enable latch bit in the status register resets to 0 before the
erase cycle is complete.
