8. If the program operation in one partition is suspended and the erase operation in other partition is also suspended, the
suspended program operation should be resumed first, and then the suspended erase operation should be resumed next.
9. Full chip erase and OTP program operations can not be suspended. The OTP Program command can not be accepted while
the block erase operation is being suspended.
10. Following the Clear Block Lock Bit command, block which is not locked-down is unlocked when #WP is VIL. When #WP is
VIH, lock-down bit is disabled and the selected block is unlocked regardless of lock-down configuration.
11. Commands other than those shown above are reserved by Winbond for future device implementations and should not be
used.

Notes:
1. DQ0 = 1: a block is locked; DQ0 = 0: a block is unlocked.
DQ1 = 1: a block is locked-down; DQ1 = 0: a block is not locked-down.
2. Erase and program are general terms, respectively, to express: block erase, full chip erase and (page buffer) program
operations.
3. At power-up or device reset, all blocks default to locked state and are not locked-down, that is, [001] (#WP = 0) or [101] (#WP
= 1), regardless of the states before power-off or reset operation.
4. When #WP is driven to VIL in [110] state, the state changes to [011] and the blocks are automatically locked.
5. OTP (One Time Program) block has the lock function, which is different from those described above.

Notes:
1. "Set Lock" means Set Block Lock Bit command, "Clear Lock" means Clear Block Lock Bit command and "Set Lock-down"
means Set Block Lock-Down Bit command.
2. When the Set Block Lock-Down Bit command is written to the unlocked block (DQ0 = 0), the corresponding block is locked-
down and automatically locked at the same time.
3. "No Change" means that the state remains unchanged after the command written.
4. In this state transitions table, assumes that #WP is not changed and fixed VIL or VIH.
