1. The device is ready to accept a Bulk Erase instruction if, and only if, all Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) are
0.
As a second level of protection, the Write Protect signal (applied on the W/VPP pin) can
freeze the Status Register in a read-only mode. In this mode, the Block Protect bits (BP2,
BP1, BP0) and the Status Register Write Disable bit (SRWD) are protected. For more
details, see Section 6.5: Write Status Register (WRSR).
