Boot Block Protection
Device ID
The V29C51001T/V29C51001B features
hardware Boot Block Protection. The boot block
sector protection is enabled when high voltage
(12.5V) is applied to OE and A9 pins with CE pin
LOW and WE pin lOW. The sector protection is
desabled when high voltage is applied to OE, CE
and A9 pins with WE pin LOW. Other pins can be
HIGH or LOW. This is shown in table 1.
In Autoselect mode, performing a read at
address XXX1H will determine whether the device
is a Top Boot Block device or a Bottom Boot Block
device. If the data is 01H, the device is a Top Boot
Block. If the data is A1H, the device is a Bottom
Boot Block device (see Table 3).
In addition, the device ID can also be read via the
command register when the device is erased or
programmed in a system without applying high

voltage to the A pin. When A is HIGH, the device

ID. 40H is the manufacturer code for Mosel Vitelic
Flash.

Boot Block Protection Status
In Autoselect mode, performing a read at
address XXX2H will indicate if the Top Boot Block
sector or the Bottom Boot Block sector is locked
out. If the data is 01H, the Top/Bottom Boot Block is
protected. If the data is 00H, the Top/Bottom Boot
Block is unprotected. (see Table 3.)
