Operating features

SRWD bit and W input signal

The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write

Protect pin (W) signal. When the SRWD bit is written to 0, it is possible to write the Status

When the SRWD bit is written to 1, two cases have to be considered, depending on the

state of the W input pin:

•

Case 1: if pin W is driven high, it is possible to write the Status Register.

•

Case 2: if pin W is driven low, it is not possible to write the Status Register (WRSR is

discarded) and therefore SRWD,BP1,BP0 bits cannot be changed (the size of the

protected memory block defined by BP1,BP0 bits is frozen).

Case 2 can be entered in either sequence:

•

Writing SRWD bit to 1 after driving pin W low, or

•

Driving pin W low after writing SRWD bit to 1.

The only way to exit Case 2 is to pull pin W high.

Note: if pin W is permanently tied high, the Status Register cannot be write-protected.

The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 4.

Identification page

The M95M01-A125 and M95M01-A145 offer an Identification page (256 bytes) in addition to

the 1 Mbit memory. The Identification page contains two fields:

•

Device identification: the three first bytes are programmed by STMicroelectronics with

the Device identification code, as shown in Table 5.

•

Application parameters: the bytes after the Device identification code are available for

application specific data.
