Start write routine (User Data Program) only after erase routine is completely finished. How-
ever, you can program our product which is already erased without this process. For other
products, the erase rouine is necessary, because the erase level may be incompleted even
though the test result of "blank check" is "Pass". In such case, reliability of the written data
may be damaged even when the write is finished normaly. Also additional write to the ad-
dress which is already written is forbidden.
