10. Status Register Commands

10.1

Read Status Register

The Status Register can be read to determine the device’s ready/busy status, as well as the sta-

tus of many other functions such as Hardware Locking and Software Protection. The Status

operation.

To read the Status Register, the CS pin must first be asserted and the opcode of 05h must be

clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin

outputting Status Register data on the SO pin during every subsequent clock cycle. After the last

bit (bit 0) of the Status Register has been clocked out, the sequence will repeat itself starting

again with bit 7 as long as the CS pin remains asserted and the SCK pin is being pulsed. The

data in the Status Register is constantly being updated, so each repeating sequence will output

new data.

Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Read Status Register operation and put the SO pin

into a high-impedance state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time and does not require

that a full byte of data be read.

Notes:

1. Only bit 7 of the Status Register will be modified when using the Write Status Register command.

2. R/W = Readable and writeable

R = Readable only
