Block Lock Status
The Read Device Identifier command is used to determine a block’s lock status (see
Section 15.2,
“Read Device Identifier” on page 76
). Data bits DQ[1:0] display the addressed block’s lock status;
DQ0 is the addressed block’s lock bit, while DQ1 is the addressed block’s lock-down bit.

13.1.5
Block Locking During Suspend
Block lock and unlock changes can be performed during an erase suspend. To change block
locking during an erase operation, first issue the Erase Suspend command. Monitor the Status
Register until SR[7] and SR[6] are set, indicating the device is suspended and ready to accept
another command.
Next, write the desired lock command sequence to a block, which changes the lock state of that
block. After completing block lock or unlock operations, resume the erase operation using the
Erase Resume command.
Note:
A Lock Block Setup command followed by any command other than Lock Block, Unlock Block,
or Lock-Down Block produces a command sequence error and set Status Register bits SR[4] and
SR[5]. If a command sequence error occurs during an erase suspend, SR[4] and SR[5] remains set,
even after the erase operation is resumed. Unless the Status Register is cleared using the Clear
Status Register command before resuming the erase operation, possible erase errors may be
masked by the command sequence error.

Notes:
1. [a,b,c] represents [WP#, DQ1, DQ0]. X = Don’t Care.
2. DQ1 indicates Block Lock-Down status. DQ1 = ‘0’, Lock-Down has not been issued
to this block. DQ1 = ‘1’, Lock-Down has been issued to this block.
3. DQ0 indicates block lock status. DQ0 = ‘0’, block is unlocked. DQ0 = ‘1’, block is
locked.
4. Locked-down = Hardware + Software locked.
5. [011] states should be tracked by system software to determine difference between
Hardware Locked and Locked-Down states.
