Preliminary
Any attempt to address Protection Program commands outside the defined protection register
address space will result in a status register error (program error bit SR.4 will be set to 1).
Attempting to program or to a previously locked protection register segment will result in a status
register error (program error bit SR.4 and lock error bit SR.1 will be set to 1).
3.8.3
Locking the Protection Register
The user-programmable segment of the protection register is lockable by programming Bit 1 of the
PR-LOCK location to 0. Bit 0 of this location is programmed to 0 at the Intel factory to protect the
unique device number. This bit is set using the Protection Program command to program FFFDH
to the PR-LOCK location. After these bits have been programmed, no further changes can be made
to the values stored in the protection register. A Protection Program command to locked words will
result in a status register error (program error bit SR.4 and Lock Error bit SR.1 will be set to 1).
The protection register lockout state is not reversible.

Additional Flash Features
Intel 3 Volt Advanced+ Stacked-CSP products provide in-system programming and erase in the
1.65 V–3.3 V range. For fast production programming, it also includes a low-cost, backward-
compatible 12 V programming feature.
3.9.1
Improved 12 Volt Production Programming
When F-V
PP
is between 1.65 V and 3.3 V, all program and erase current is drawn through the
F-V
CC
signal. Note that if F-V
PP
is driven by a logic signal, V
IH
min = 1.65 V. That is, F-V
PP
must
remain above 1.65 V to perform in-system flash modifications. When F-V
PP
is connected to a 12 V
power supply, the device draws program and erase current directly from the F-V
PP
signal. This
eliminates the need for an external switching transistor to control the voltage F-V
PP
.
Figure 12,
“Example Power Supply Configurations” on page 34
shows examples of how the flash power
supplies can be configured for various usage models.
