Sector Lockdown Register

Sector Lockdown Register is a nonvolatile register that contains 64 bytes of data, as shown

below:

10.1.2

Reading the Sector Lockdown Register

The Sector Lockdown Register can be read to determine which sectors in the memory array are

permanently locked down. To read the Sector Lockdown Register, the CS pin must first be

asserted. Once the CS pin has been asserted, an opcode of 35H and 3 dummy bytes must be

clocked into the device via the SI pin. After the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes have

been clocked in, the data for the contents of the Sector Lockdown Register will be clocked out

on the SO pin. The first byte corresponds to sector 0 (0a, 0b) the second byte corresponds to

sector 1 and the last byte (byte 16) corresponds to sector 15. After the last byte of the Sector

Lockdown Register has been read, additional pulses on the SCK pin will simply result in unde-

fined data being output on the SO pin.

Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Read Sector Lockdown Register operation and put the

SO pin into a high-impedance state.

Table 10-2 details the values read from the Sector Lockdown Register.
