Sector/Sector Block Protection and
Unprotection
(Note: For the following discussion, the term “sector”
applies to both sectors and sector blocks. A sector
block consists of two or more adjacent sectors that are
protected or unprotected at the same time (see Tables
2 and 4).

The hardware sector protection feature disables both
program and erase operations in any sector. The hard-
ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both pro-
gram and erase operations in previously protected
sectors. Sector protection/unprotection can be imple-
mented via two methods.

The primary method requires VID on the RESET# pin
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algo-
rithms and Figure 26 shows the timing diagram. This
method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle tim-
ing. For sector unprotect, all unprotected sectors must
first be protected prior to the first sector unprotect
write cycle.

The sector unprotect algorithm unprotects all sectors
in parallel. All previously protected sectors must be in-
dividually re-protected. To change data in protected
sectors efficiently, the temporary sector unprotect
function is available. See “Temporary Sector Unpro-
tect”.
