Unlocked
Locked
> Command Sequence :
   Start block address+End block address+Lock block command
   (002Ah)
> All blocks default to be locked after Cold reset or Warm reset
> Unlocked blocks can be locked by using the Lock block
command and a lock block’s status can be changed to
unlock or lock-tight using the appropriate software commands
> Command Sequence :
   Start block address+End block address+Unlock block command
    (0023h)
> Unlocked block can be programmed or erased
> An unlocked block’s status can be changed to the locked or
lock-tighten state using the appropriate software command
> Only one sequential area can be released to unlock state from
   lock state ; Unlocking multi individual area is not available  
Lock-tighten
> Command Sequence :
   Start block address+End block address+Lock-tight block command
   (002Ch)
> Lock-tighten blocks offer the user an additional level of write
   protection beyond that of a regular lock block. A block that
    is lock-tighten cannot have its state change by software,
    only by Cold or Warm reset. 
> Only locked blocks can be lock-tighten by Lock-tight command. 
> Lock-tighten blocks revert to the locked state at Cold or Warm
   reset
> Lock-tighten area does not change with any command; 
   when new unlock command is issued including the lock-tighten 
   area, new unlocked command is ignored.
