9.1 Sector Protection Register
The nonvolatile Sector Protection Register specifies which sectors are to be protected or unpro-
tected with either the software or hardware controlled protection methods. The Sector Protection
Register contains 4-bytes of data, of which byte locations 0 through 3 contain values that specify
whether sectors 0 through 3 will be protected or unprotected. The Sector Protection Register is
user modifiable and must first be erased before it can be reprogrammed. Table 9-3 illustrates the
format of the Sector Protection Register.
Note: 1. The default value for bytes 0 through 3 when shipped from Adesto is 00H.
x = don’t care.
