Flash Memory Protection

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

Hardware protection refers to a state in which programming/erasing of flash memory is forcibly disabled or aborted.

Settings in flash memory control registers 1 and 2 (FLMCR1, FLMCR2) and erase block registers 1 and 2 (EBR1, EBR2)

are reset. (See table 19-37.)

Reset/standby

REJ09B0138-0600H

In a reset (including a WDT overflow reset)

and in standby mode, FLMCR1, FLMCR2,

EBR1, and EBR2 are initialized, and the

program/erase-protected state is entered.

In a reset via the RES pin, the reset state

is not entered unless the RES pin is held

low until oscillation stabilizes after

powering on. In the case of a reset during

operation, hold the RES pin low for the

RES pulse width specified in the AC

Characteristics section.
