Status Register

33/64

5.6

Program Suspend status (bit SR2)

This bit indicates that a Program operation has been suspended, and that it is waiting to be

resumed. The Program Suspend Status should only be considered valid when the

Program/Erase Controller Status bit is ‘1’ (Program/Erase Controller inactive). After a

Program/Erase Suspend command is issued, the memory may still complete the operation

instead of entering the Suspend mode.

When the Program Suspend Status bit is ‘0’, the Program/Erase Controller is active, or has

completed its operation. When the bit is ‘1’, a Program/Erase Suspend command has been

issued and the memory is waiting for a Program/Erase Resume command.

When a Program/Erase Resume command is issued, the Program Suspend Status bit

returns to ‘0’.

5.7

Block/Sector Protection status (bit SR1)

The Block/Sector Protection Status bit can be used to identify if the Program or Erase

operation has tried to modify the contents of a protected block or sector. When the

Block/Sector Protection Status bit is reset to ‘0’, no Program or Erase operations have been

attempted on protected blocks or sectors since the last Clear Status Register command or

hardware reset. When the Block/Sector Protection Status bit is ‘1’, a Program or Erase

operation has been attempted on a protected block or sector.

Once it is set to ‘1’, the Block/Sector Protection Status bit can only be reset to ‘0’ by a Clear

Status Register command or by a hardware reset. If it is set to ‘1’, it should be reset before a

new Program or Erase command is issued, otherwise the new command will appear to have

failed, too.

Using the A/A Mux Interface, the Block/Sector Protection Status bit is always ‘0’.

5.8

Reserved (bit SR0)

Bit 0 of the Status Register is reserved. Its value should be masked.
