Sector Erase (SE)

The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen sector. Before it

can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed.

After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write

Enable Latch (WEL).

The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the

instruction code, and three address Bytes on Serial Data Input (D). Any address inside the

Sector (see Table 4) is a valid address for the Sector Erase (SE) instruction. Chip Select (S)

must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.

The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 18.

Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last address Byte has been

latched in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip

Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is

initiated. While the Sector Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to

check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1

during the self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified

time before the cycle is complete, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.

A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a sector that contains a page that is Hardware or

software Protected is not executed.

Any Sector Erase (SE) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is

rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

If Reset (RESET) is driven Low while a Sector Erase (SE) cycle is in progress, the Sector

Erase cycle is interrupted and data may not be erased (see Table 12: Device status after a

RESET Low pulse). On RESET going Low, the device enters the Reset mode and a time of

tRHSL is then required before the device can be re-selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low.

For the value of tRHSL see Table 20: Timings after a RESET Low pulse in Section 11: DC

and AC parameters.
