Program/Erase Protection

There are three kinds of flash memory program/erase protection; hardware protection, software
protection, and error protection.
6.9.1

Hardware Protection

Hardware protection refers to a state in which programming/erasing of flash memory is forcibly
disabled or aborted because of a transition to reset, subactive mode, subsleep mode, watch mode,
or standby mode. Flash memory control register 1 (FLMCR1), flash memory control register 2
(FLMCR2), and erase block register (EBR) are initialized. In a reset via the
state is not entered unless the
the case of a reset during operation, hold the
AC Characteristics section.
6.9.2

Software Protection

Software protection can be implemented against programming/erasing of all flash memory blocks
by clearing the SWE bit in FLMCR1. When software protection is in effect, setting the P or E bit
in FLMCR1 does not cause a transition to program mode or erase mode. By setting the erase
block register (EBR), erase protection can be set for individual blocks. When EBR is set to H'00,
erase protection is set for all blocks.
