• Read Array Command

The read array command reads the flash memory.

When FFh is written to an address in the user ROM area, the MCU enters read array mode. In this mode, the

contents of the specified address can be read.

Read array mode continues until other commands are written. The MCU enters this mode after a reset is

deasserted.

• Read Status Register Command

The read status register command is used to read the status register. Figure 20.10 shows the Status Register.

The status register indicates the operating status of the flash memory and whether an erase or program

operation has completed normally or in error (refer to Table 20.4 Errors and FMR0 Register Status). When

70h is written to an address in the user ROM area, the MCU enters read status register mode. When the

address in the user ROM area is read subsequently, the status register can be read.

The MCU remains in read status register mode until the next read array command is written.

The status of the status register can be determined by reading bits FMR00, FMR06, and FMR07 in the FMR0

• Clear Status Register Command

The clear status register command sets the status register to 0.

When 50h is written to an address in the user ROM area, bits FMR07 and FMR06 in the FMR0 register and

bits SR5 and SR4 in the status register are set to 00b.
