Status Register
The status register bits are listed in Table 3. The status register consists of Ready bit (RDY) and data protection bits BP1, BP0, WEN, and WPEN. The RDY bit can be polled to check the Ready or Busy status while a nvSRAM STORE cycle is in progress. The status register can be modified by WRSR instruction and read by
Table 4. Status Register Format
RDSR instruction. However, only WPEN, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register can be modified by using WRSR instruction. WRSR instruction has no effect on WEN and RDY bits. The default value shipped from the factory for BP1, BP2 and WPEN bits is ‘0’.

Read Status Register (RDSR) Instruction
The Read Status Register instruction provides access to the status register. This instruction is used to probe the Write Enable Status of the device or the Ready status of the device. RDY bit is set by the device to 1 whenever a STORE cycle is in progress. The Block Protection and WPEN bits indicate the extent of protection employed.
This instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the opcode for RDSR.
Write Status Register (WRSR) Instruction
The WRSR instruction enables the user to write to the Status register. However, this instruction cannot be used to modify bit 0 and bit 1 (WEN and RDY). The BP0 and BP1 bits can be used to select one of four levels of block protection. Further, WPEN bit can be set to ‘1’ to enable the use of Write Protect (WP) pin.
WRSR instruction is a write instruction and needs writes to be enabled (WEN bit set to ‘1’) using the WREN instruction before it is issued. The instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the opcode for WRSR followed by 8 bits of data to be stored in the Status Register. Since, only bits 2, 3, and 7 can be modified by WRSR instruction, it is recommended to leave the other bits as ‘0’ while writing to the Status Register
Note In CY14B101Q1/CY14B101Q2/CY14B101Q3, the values written to Status Register are saved to nonvolatile memory only after a STORE operation. If AutoStore is disabled (or while using CY14B101Q1), any modifications to the Status Register must be secured by using a Software STORE operation
Note CY14B101Q2 does not have WP pin. Any modification to bit 7 of the Status register has no effect on the functionality of CY14B101Q2.
