Sector Protection/Unprotection
The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hard-
ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors. Sector protection/unprotection can be imple-
mented via two methods.
The primary method requires V
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algo-
rithms and Figure 24 shows the timing diagram. This
method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle tim-
ing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors must
first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect write
cycle.
The alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires V
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 3.0 volt-only AMD flash devices. Pub-
lication number 21467 contains further details; contact
an AMD representative to request a copy.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is protected
or unprotected. See the Autoselect Mode section for
details.
Temporary Sector Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previ-
ously protected sectors to change data in-system. The
Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RE-

formerly protected sectors can be programmed or
erased by selecting the sector addresses. Once V
removed from the RESET# pin, all the previously pro-
tected sectors are protected again. Figure 1 shows the
algorithm, and Figure 23 shows the timing diagrams,
for this feature.
