SRWD bit
The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write
Protect (W/VPP) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect
(W/VPP) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected mode (when the Status
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect (W/VPP) is driven Low). In
this mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0) become
read-only bits and the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for
execution.
