2 Mbit LPC Flash
SST49LF020A
Data Protection (PP Mode)
The SST49LF020A devices provide both hardware and
software features to protect nonvolatile data from inadvert-
ent writes.
Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# pulse of less than 5 ns will
not initiate a Write cycle.
VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is
inhibited when VDD is less than 1.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, WE# high will inhibit
the Write operation. This prevents inadvertent writes during
power-up or power-down.
Data Sheet
Software Data Protection (SDP)
The SST49LF020A provide the JEDEC approved Software
Data Protection scheme for all data alteration operation,
i.e., Program and Erase. Any Program operation requires
the inclusion of a series of three-byte sequence. The three-
byte load sequence is used to initiate the Program opera-
tion, providing optimal protection from inadvertent Write
operations, e.g., during the system power-up or power-
down. Any Erase operation requires the inclusion of a six-
byte load sequence.
