When the block erase is complete, status register
bit SR.5 should be checked. If a block erase error is
detected, the status register should be cleared
before system software attempts corrective actions.
The CUI remains in read status register mode until
a new command is issued.

PRELIMINARY
This two-step command sequence of set-up
followed by execution ensures that block contents
are not accidentally erased. An invalid Block Erase
command sequence will result in both status
register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to
“1.” Also,
reliable block erasure can only occur when

= V
CC1/2
and V

= V
PPH1/2

this high voltage, block contents are protected
against erasure. If block erase is attempted while

Program Command
Program is executed by a two-cycle command
sequence. Program setup (standard 40H or
alternate 10H) is written, followed by a second write
that specifies the address and data (latched on the
rising edge of WE#). The WSM then takes over,
controlling the program and write verify algorithms
internally. After the program sequence is written,
the device automatically outputs status register
data when read (see Figure 7). The CPU can detect
the completion of the program event by analyzing
the RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7.
When program is complete, status register bit SR.4
should be checked. If program error is detected, the
status register should be cleared. The internal WSM
verify only detects errors for “1”s that do not
successfully program to “0”s. The CUI remains in
read status register mode until it receives another
command.

Block Erase Suspend
Command
The Block Erase Suspend command allows
block-erase interruption to read data from or
program data to another block of memory. Once the
block erase process starts, writing the Block Erase
Suspend command requests that the WSM

outputs status register data when read after the
Block Erase Suspend command is written. Polling
status register bits SR.7 and SR.6 can determine
when the block erase operation has been
suspended (both will be set to “1”). RY/BY# will also

sequence
at
a
At this point, a Read Array command can be written
to read data from blocks other than that which is
suspended. A Program command sequence can
also be issued during erase suspend to program
data in other blocks. Using the Program Suspend
command (see Section 4.8), a program operation
can also be suspended. During a program operation
with block erase suspended, status register bit
SR.7 will return to “0” and the RY/BY# output will
transition to V
OL
. However, SR.6 will remain “1” to
indicate block erase suspend status.
The only other valid commands while block erase is
suspended are Read Status Register and Block
Erase Resume. After a Block Erase Resume
command is written to the flash memory, the WSM
will continue the block erase process. Status
register bits SR.6 and SR.7 will automatically clear
and RY/BY# will return to V
OL
. After the Erase
Resume

operations initiated during block erase suspend
have completed.
