AT § 5.5.1 of the data-sheet it says the following: "While in x8 mode the full Status Register can be read (both the upper byte and lower byte) with one Status Register entry by keeping CE# and OE# low and having a transition on A-1."

Which byte comes before the transition and which byte comes after the transition. The upper byte is essentially useless as all 8 bits are RFU and therefore needs to be ignored.

Thanks

Hi

The Byte that you will read will depend on the status of A-1.

If A-1 = Low, you will read the lower byte

A-1 = High, you will read the higher byte.

Thanks,
