DQ3: Sector Erase Timer
After writing a sector erase command sequence, the system may read DQ3 to determine whether or not
erasure has begun. (The sector erase timer does not apply to the chip erase command.) If additional sectors
are selected for erasure, the entire time-out also applies after each additional sector erase command. When
the time-out period is complete, DQ3 switches from a 0 to a 1. If the time between additional sector erase
commands from the system can be assumed to be less than 50 s, the system need not monitor DQ3. See
After the sector erase command is written, the system should read the status of DQ7 (Data# Polling) or DQ6
(Toggle Bit I) to ensure that the device has accepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If DQ3 is
1, the Embedded Erase algorithm has begun; all further commands (except Erase Suspend) are ignored until
the erase operation is complete. If DQ3 is 0, the device accepts additional sector erase commands. To
ensure the command is accepted, the system software should check the status of DQ3 prior to and following
each subsequent sector erase command. If DQ3 is high on the second status check, the last command might
not have been accepted.

DQ1: Write-to-Buffer Abort
DQ1 indicates whether a Write-to-Buffer operation was aborted. Under these conditions DQ1 produces a 1.
The system must issue the Write-to-Buffer-Abort-Reset command sequence to return the device to reading
Notes
1. DQ5 switches to 1 when an Embedded Program, Embedded Erase, or Write-to-Buffer operation has exceeded the maximum timing
2. DQ7 and DQ2 require a valid address when reading status information. Refer to the appropriate section for further details.
3. The Data# Polling algorithm should be used to monitor the last loaded write-buffer address location.
4. DQ1 switches to 1 when the device has aborted the write-to-buffer operation
