Global Protect/Unprotect

The Global Protect and Global Unprotect features can work in conjunction with the Protect Sector and Unprotect

Sector functions. For example, a system can globally protect the entire memory array and then use the Unprotect

Sector command to individually unprotect certain sectors and individually reprotect them later by using the Protect

Sector command. Likewise, a system can globally unprotect the entire memory array and then individually protect

certain sectors as needed.

Performing a Global Protect or Global Unprotect is accomplished by writing a certain combination of data to the

Status Register using the Write Status Register Byte 1 command (see “Write Status Register Byte 1” on page 35

for command execution details). The Write Status Register command is also used to modify the SPRL (Sector Pro-

tection Registers Locked) bit to control hardware and software locking.

To perform a Global Protect, the appropriate WP pin and SPRL conditions must be met, and the system must write

a logical “1” to bits five, four, three, and two of the first byte of the Status Register. Conversely, to perform a Global

Unprotect, the same WP and SPRL conditions must be met but the system must write a logical “0” to bits five, four,

three, and two of the first byte of the Status Register. Table 9-2 details the conditions necessary for a Global Pro-

tect or Global Unprotect to be performed.

No change to the current protection level. All sectors currently protected will remain protected

and all sectors currently unprotected will remain unprotected.

The Sector Protection Registers are hard-locked and cannot be changed when the WP pin is

LOW and the current state of SPRL is 1. Therefore, a Global Protect/Unprotect will not occur.

In addition, the SPRL bit cannot be changed (the WP pin must be HIGH in order to change

SPRL back to a 0).
