Chapter 25 2 Kbyte EEPROM Module (S12XEETX2KV1)
25.3.2.5
The EPROT register defines which EEPROM sectors are protected against program or erase operations.
During the reset sequence, the EPROT register is loaded from the EEPROM Protection byte at address
offset 0x0FFD (see
RNV[6:4] which are only readable. The EPOPEN and EPDIS bits can only be written to the protected
state. The EPS bits can be written anytime until bit EPDIS is cleared. If the EPOPEN bit is cleared, the
state of the EPDIS and EPS bits is irrelevant.
To change the EEPROM protection that will be loaded during the reset sequence, the EEPROM memory
must be unprotected, then the EEPROM Protection byte must be reprogrammed. Trying to alter data in any
protected area in the EEPROM memory will result in a protection violation error and the PVIOL flag will
be set in the ESTAT register. The mass erase of an EEPROM block is possible only when protection is
fully disabled by setting the EPOPEN and EPDIS bits.

Reserved Nonvolatile Bits — The RNV[6:4] bits should remain in the erased state “1” for future enhancements.
EEPROM Protection Address Range Disable — The EPDIS bit determines whether there is a protected area
in a specific region of the EEPROM memory ending with address offset 0x0FFF.
