In the same way, the Clear Lock command (CLB) is used to clear lock bits. All the lock bits are also cleared by the EA
command.
Lock bits can be read using Get Lock Bit command (GLB). The n
th
lock bit is active when the bit n of the bit mask is set..
20.2.5.5 Flash General-purpose NVM Commands
General-purpose NVM bits (GP NVM bits) can be set using the Set GPNVM command (SGPB). This command also
activates GP NVM bits. A bit mask is provided as argument to the command. When bit 0 of the bit mask is set, then the
first GP NVM bit is activated.
In the same way, the Clear GPNVM command (CGPB) is used to clear general-purpose NVM bits. All the general-
purpose NVM bits are also cleared by the EA command. The general-purpose NVM bit is deactivated when the
corresponding bit in the pattern value is set to 1.
General-purpose NVM bits can be read using the Get GPNVM Bit command (GGPB). The n
th
GP NVM bit is active when
bit n of the bit mask is set..
20.2.5.6 Flash Security Bit Command
A security bit can be set using the Set Security Bit command (SSE). Once the security bit is active, the Fast Flash
programming is disabled. No other command can be run. An event on the Erase pin can erase the security bit once the
contents of the Flash have been erased.
