11.1 Mapping Guidance Details
The SFDP Memory Organization/Block Protection Bit
Mapping defines the memory organization including
uniform sector/block sizes and different contiguous
sectors/blocks sizes. In addition, this bit defines the
number of these uniform and different sectors/blocks
from address 000000H to the full range of Memory and
the associated Block Locking Register bits of each sec-
tor/block.
Each major Section is defined as follows:
A Major Section consists of Sector Type Number, Num-
ber of Sector of this type, and the Block-Protection Bit
Start/End locations. This is tied directly to JEDEC Flash
Parameter Table Sector Size Type (in 7th DWORD and
8th DWORD section). Note that the contiguous 4KByte
Sectors across the full memory range are not included
on this section because they are not defined in the
JEDEC Flash Parameter Table Sector Size Type sec-
tion. Only the sectors/blocks that are dependently tied
with the Block-Protection Register bits are defined. A
major section is a partition of contiguous same-size
sectors/blocks. There will be several Major Sections as
you dissect across memory from 000000h to the full
range. Similar sector/block size that re-appear may be
defined as a different Major Section.
11.1.1 SECTOR TYPE NUMBER
Sector Type Number is the sector/block size type
defined in JEDEC Flash Parameter Table: SFDP
address locations 4CH, 4EH, 50H, and 52H. Sector
Type 1, which is represented by 01H, is located at
address 4CH. Sector Type 2, which is represented by
02H, is located at address location 4EH. Sector Type 3,
which is represented by 03H, is located at address
location 50H. Sector Type 4, represented by 04H, is
located at address location 52H. Contiguous Same
Sector Type # Size can re-emerge across the memory
range and this Sector Type # will indicate that it is a
separate/independent Major Section from the previous
contiguous sectors/blocks.
11.1.2 NUMBER OF SECTORS
Number of Sectors represents the number of contigu-
ous sectors/blocks with similar size. A formula calcu-
lates the contiguous sectors/blocks with similar size.
Given the sector/block size, type, and the number of
sectors, the address range of these sectors/blocks can
be determined along with specific Block Locking Reg-
ister bits that control the read/write protection of each
sectors/blocks.

Address bits are Read Lock bit locations and Even Address bits are Write
Lock bit locations. The most significant (left-most) bit indicates the sign of
the integer; it is sometimes called the sign bit. If the sign bit is zero, then
the number is greater than or equal to zero, or positive. If the sign bit is
one then the number is less than zero or negative.

(((2

Address bits are Read Lock bit locations and Even Address bits are Write
Lock bit locations. The most significant (left-most) bit indicates the sign of
the integer; it is sometimes called the sign bit. If the sign bit is zero, then
the number is greater than or equal to zero, or positive. If the sign bit is
one then the number is less than zero or negative.
