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.
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 pro-
tected or unprotected. See the Sector/Sector Block
Protection and Unprotection section for details.
Write Protect (WP#)
The Write Protect function provides a hardware
method of protecting without using V
one of two provided by the WP#/ACC pin.
If the system asserts V
vice disables program and erase functions in sectors
0, 1, 140, and 141, independently of whether those
sectors were protected or unprotected using the
method described in “Sector/Sector Block Protection
and Unprotection”.
If the system asserts V
vice reverts to whether sectors 0, 1, 140, and 141
were last set to be protected or unprotected. That is,
sector protection or unprotection for these sectors de-
pends on whether they were last protected or unpro-
tected using the method described in “Sector/Sector
Block Protection and Unprotection”.
Note that the WP#/ACC pin must not be left floating or
unconnected; inconsistent behavior of the device may
result.

Temporary Sector Unprotect
(Note: For the following discussion, the term “sector”
applies to both sectors and sector blocks. A sector
block consists of two or more adjacent sectors that are
protected or unprotected at the same time (see Table
6).
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-

sector addresses. Once V

protected again. Figure 1 shows the algorithm, and
