Customer lockable extended memory block
A device where the extended memory block is customer lockable is delivered with the DQ7
bit set to ‘0’ and the extended memory block unprotected. It is up to the customer to program
and protect the extended memory block but care must be taken because the protection of
the extended memory block is not reversible.
If the device has not been shipped with the extended memory block factory protected, the
block can be protected by setting the Extended Memory Block Protection bit, DQ0, to ‘0’.
However, this bit is one-time programmable and once protected the extended memory block
cannot be unprotected.
Once the extended memory block is programmed, the Exit Extended Memory Block
command must be issued to exit the Extended Memory Block mode and return the device to
Read mode.
