features of the C8051F80x-83x devices.
19.4. Flash Write and Erase Guidelines
Any system which contains routines which write or erase Flash memory from software involves some risk
that the write or erase routines will execute unintentionally if the CPU is operating outside its specified
operating range of VDD, system clock frequency, or temperature. This accidental execution of Flash modi-
fying code can result in alteration of Flash memory contents causing a system failure that is only recover-
able by re-Flashing the code in the device.
To help prevent the accidental modification of Flash by firmware, the VDD Monitor must be enabled and
enabled as a reset source on C8051F80x-83x devices for the Flash to be successfully modified. If either

Read, Write or Erase Reserved Area
C2DE—C2 Device Erase (Erases all Flash pages including the page containing the Lock Byte)
FEDR—Not permitted; Causes Flash Error Device Reset (FERROR bit in RSTSRC is 1 after reset)


All prohibited operations that are performed via the C2 interface are ignored (do not cause device
reset).
Locking any Flash page also locks the page containing the Lock Byte.
Once written to, the Lock Byte cannot be modified except by performing a C2 Device Erase.
If user code writes to the Lock Byte, the Lock does not take effect until the next device reset.
