Program Protection
When VPP = VIL, absolute hardware write protection is provided for all device blocks. If
V
PP is at or below VPPLK, programming operations halt and SR[3] is set indicating a VPP-
level error. Block lock registers are not affected by the voltage level on VPP; they may
still be programmed and read, even if VPP is less than VPPLK
.
