Command
Read array
Read status register
Clear status register
Program
Block erase
SRD: Status register
WA: Write address (ensure the address specified in the first bus cycle is the same address as the write
address specified in the second bus cycle.)
WD: Write data (8 bits)
BA: Given block address
×: Any specified address in the user ROM area
18.4.3.1 Read Array Command
The read array command reads the flash memory.
The MCU enters read array mode when FFh is written in the first bus cycle. When the read address is entered in
the following bus cycles, the content of the specified address can be read in 8-bit units.
Since the MCU remains in read array mode until another command is written, the contents of multiple
addresses can be read continuously.
In addition, the MCU enters read array mode after a reset.
18.4.3.2 Read Status Register Command
The read status register command is used to read the status register.
When 70h is written in the first bus cycle, the status register can be read in the second bus cycle. (Refer to
18.4.4 Status Register.) When reading the status register, specify an address in the user ROM area.
Do not execute this command in EW1 mode.
The MCU remains in read status register mode until the next read array command is written.
18.4.3.3 Clear Status Register Command
The clear status register command sets the status register to 0.
When 50h is written in the first bus cycle, bits FMR06 to FMR07 in the FMR0 register and SR4 to SR5 in the
status register are set to 0.
