GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF2042 contains a 256 x 8-bit EEPROM with
programmable write protection for each of the first 32
bytes. Reading of the whole memory is always possible.
The memory can be written and erased byte by byte.
Each of the first 32 bytes can be write/erase protected by
setting a Protection bit (EEPROM converted to ROM). If
set once, the Protection bit cannot be erased.
Additionally, the PCF2042 allows for a verification
procedure. The whole memory, excluding the Reference
Data, can be read always. The memory can be written or
erased only after a successful comparison of the
verification data.
After three successive incorrect entries an internal error
counter will block any subsequent attempt to compare the
verification data, and hence blocks any possibility to write
and erase.
