Software Data Protection (SDP)
Data Protection
SST49LF008A provides the JEDEC approved Software
Data Protection scheme for all data alteration operation,
i.e., Program and Erase. Any Program operation requires
the inclusion of a series of three-byte sequences. The
three-byte load sequence is used to initiate the Program
operation, providing optimal protection from inadvertent
Write operations, e.g., during the system power-up or
power-down. Any Erase operation requires the inclusion of
a six-byte load sequence. The SST49LF008A device is
shipped with the Software Data Protection permanently
enabled. See Table 9 for the specific software command
codes. During SDP command sequence, invalid com-
mands will abort the device to Read mode, within TRC.
The SST49LF008A device provides both hardware and
software features to protect nonvolatile data from inadvert-
ent writes.
Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# pulse of less than 5 ns will
not initiate a Write cycle.
VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is
inhibited when VDD is less than 1.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, WE# high will inhibit
the Write operation. This prevents inadvertent writes during
power-up or power-down.
