3 Volt Intel® Advanced+ Boot Block Flash Memory Stacked-CSP Family
Any attempt to address Protection Program commands outside the defined protection register
address space will result in a status register error (program error bit SR.4 will be set to 1).
Attempting to program or to a previously locked protection register segment will result in a status
register error (program error bit SR.4 and lock error bit SR.1 will be set to 1).
3.8.3
Locking the Protection Register
The user-programmable segment of the protection register is lockable by programming Bit 1 of the
PR-LOCK location to 0. Bit 0 of this location is programmed to 0 at the Intel factory to protect the
unique device number. This bit is set using the Protection Program command to program FFFDh to
the PR-LOCK location. After these bits have been programmed, no further changes can be made to
the values stored in the protection register. A Protection Program command to locked words will
result in a status register error (program error bit SR.4 and Lock Error bit SR.1 will be set to 1).
The protection register lockout state is not reversible.
