latched into these bits on the rising edge of the reset signal. The ROMCTL signal allows the setting of the
ROMON bit in the MISC register thus controlling whether the internal Flash is visible in the memory map.
ROMON = 1 mean the Flash is visible in the memory map. The state of the ROMCTL pin is latched into
the ROMON bit in the MISC register on the rising edge of the reset signal.
For further explanation on the modes refer to the S12_MEBI block guide.
4.3 Security
The device will make available a security feature preventing the unauthorized read and write of the
memory contents. This feature allows:
• Protection of the contents of FLASH,
• Operation in single-chip mode,
• Operation from external memory with internal FLASH disabled.
The user must be reminded that part of the security must lie with the user’s code. An extreme example
would be user’s code that dumps the contents of the internal program. This code would defeat the purpose
of security. At the same time the user may also wish to put a back door in the user’s program. An example
