The Non-Volatile Protection is more advanced in the Password Protection mode.
In this mode, the Lock-Down bit is non-volatile and cannot be cleared through a hardware reset or a
power-down/power-up sequence.
The Lock-Down bit is cleared by issuing the Password Protection Unlock command along with the correct
password.
Once the correct Password has been provided, the Lock-Down bit is cleared and the Non-Volatile Modify
Protection bits can be set or reset using the appropriate commands (the Set Non-Volatile Modify
Protection bit command or the Clear Non-Volatile Modify Protection bits command, respectively).
If the Password provided is not correct, the Lock-Down bit remains locked and the state of the Non-
Volatile Modify Protection bits cannot be modified.
The Password is a 64-bit code located in the memory space. It must be programmed by the user prior to
selecting the Password Protection mode. The Password is programmed by issuing a Password Program
command and checked by issuing a Password Verify command. The Password should be unique for each
part.
Once the device is in Password Protection mode, the Password can no longer be read or retrieved.
Moreover, all commands to the address where the password is stored, are disabled. Refer to
Figure 6: Software Protection scheme
Table 7.
