5.2 Erase/Write Enable (EWEN)

To ensure data integrity, the part automatically goes into the Erase/Write Disable (EWDS) state when power is first applied. An Erase/Write Enable (EWEN) instruction must be executed first before any programming instructions can be carried out.

Note: Once in the write-enabled state, programming remains enabled until an EWDS instruction is executed or VCC power is removed from the part.
