Sector Protection/Unprotection
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.
The device is shipped with all sectors unprotected.
AMD offers the option of programming and protecting
sectors at its factory prior to shipping the device
through AMD’s ExpressFlash™ Service. Contact an
AMD representative for details.
It is possible to determine whether a sector is pro-
tected or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for de-
tails.
Sector Protection/unprotection can be implemented
via two methods.
The primary method requires V
only, and can be implemented either in-system or via
programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algo-
rithms and Figure 23 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 alternate method intended only for programming
equipment requires V
This method is compatible with programmer routines
written for earlier 3.0 volt-only AMD flash devices.
Publication number 20536 contains further details;

Temporary Sector Unprotect
This feature allows temporary unprotection of previ-
ously protected sectors to change data in-system. The
Sector Unprotect mode is activated by setting the RE-
SET# pin to V
sectors can be programmed or erased by selecting the
sector addresses. Once V
SET# pin, all the previously protected sectors are
protected again. Figure 1 shows the algorithm, and
Figure 22 shows the timing diagrams, for this feature.
