6.3.1 Write Enable Instruction
(WREN
)
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the STATUS register must be set to a logic
‘
1
’ prior to each Write STATUS Register (WRSR
) and
Write to Memory Array (WRITE
) instructions. This is accomplished by
sending a WREN
(06h) instruction to the AT25512. First, the CS pin is driven low to
select the device and then a WREN
instruction is clocked in on the SI
pin. Then the CS pin can be driven high and the WEL bit will be
updated in the STATUS register to a logic ‘1
’. The device will power‑up
in the Write Disable state (WEL = 0
).
