Boot Block Lockout Detection
The device has one designated block that has a programming lockout feature. This feature pre-
vents programming of data in the designated block once the feature has been enabled. The size
of the block is 8K bytes. This block, referred to as the boot block, can contain secure code that is
used to bring up the system. Enabling the lockout feature will allow the boot code to stay in the
device while data in the rest of the device is updated. This feature does not have to be activated;
the boot block’s usage as a write protected region is optional to the user. The address range of
the boot block is 0000H to 1FFFH.
Once the feature is enabled, the data in the boot block can no longer be erased or programmed.
Data in the main memory block can still be changed through the regular programming method.
To activate the lockout feature, a series of six program commands to specific addresses with
specific data must be performed. Please refer to the Command Definitions table.
A software method is available to determine if programming of the boot block section is locked
out. When the device is in the software product identification mode (see Software Product Iden-
tification Entry and Exit sections) a read from address location 00002H will show if programming
the boot block is locked out. If the data on I/O0 is low, the boot block can be programmed; if the
data on I/O0 is high, the program lockout feature has been activated and the block cannot be
programmed. The software product identification code should be used to return to standard
operation.
The product identification mode identifies the device and manufacturer as Atmel. It may be
accessed by hardware or software operation. The hardware operation mode can be used by an
external programmer to identify the correct programming algorithm for the Atmel product.
For details, see Operating Modes (for hardware operation) or Software Product Identification.
The manufacturer and device code is the same for both modes.
The AT49F512 features DATA polling to indicate the end of a program cycle. During a program
cycle an attempted read of the last byte loaded will result in the complement of the loaded data
on I/O7. Once the program cycle has been completed, true data is valid on all outputs and the
next cycle may begin. DATA polling may begin at any time during the program cycle.
In addition to DATA polling the AT49F512 provides another method for determining the end of a
program or erase cycle. During a program or erase operation, successive attempts to read data
from the device will result in I/O6 toggling between one and zero. Once the program cycle has
completed, I/O6 will stop toggling and valid data will be read. Examining the toggle bit may begin
at any time during a program cycle.
Hardware features protect against inadvertent programs to the AT49F512 in the following ways:
(a) V
inhibit: holding any one of OE low, CE high or WE high inhibits program cycles. (c) Noise filter:
Pulses of less than 15 ns (typical) on the WE or CE inputs will not initiate a program cycle.
CC
sense: if V
CC
is below 3.8V (typical), the program function is inhibited. (b) Program
