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
program and erase operations in previously protected
sectors.
Sector protection/unprotection must be implemented
using programming equipment. The procedure re-
quires a high voltage (V
control pins. Details on this method are provided in a
supplement, publication number 20495. Contact an
AMD representative to obtain a copy of the appropriate
document.
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 protected
or unprotected. See “Autoselect Mode” for details.
Hardware Data Protection
The command sequence requirement of unlock cycles
for programming or erasing provides data protection
against inadvertent writes (refer to the Command Defi-
nitions table). In addition, the following hardware data
protection measures prevent accidental erasure or pro-

Write Pulse “Glitch” Protection
Noise pulses of less than 5 ns (typical) on OE#, CE# or
WE# do not initiate a write cycle.
Logical Inhibit
Write cycles are inhibited by holding any one of OE# =

CE# and WE# must be a logical zero while OE# is a
logical one.
Power-Up Write Inhibit
If WE# = CE# = V
device does not accept commands on the rising edge
of WE#. The internal state machine is automatically
reset to reading array data on power-up.
