APPENDIX C. EXTENDED MEMORY BLOCK

The M29W320E has an extra block, the Extended

Block, that can be accessed using a dedicated

command.

This Extended Block is 32 KWords in x16 mode

and 64 KBytes in x8 mode. It is used as a security

block (to provide a permanent security identifica-

tion number) or to store additional information.

The Extended Block is either Factory Locked or

Customer Lockable, its status is indicated by bit

DQ7. This bit is permanently set to either ‘1’ or ‘0’

at the factory and cannot be changed. When set to

‘1’, it indicates that the device is factory locked and

the Extended Block is protected. When set to ‘0’, it

indicates that the device is customer lockable and

the Extended Block is unprotected. Bit DQ7 being

permanently locked to either ‘1’ or ‘0’ is another

security feature which ensures that a customer

lockable device cannot be used instead of a facto-

ry locked one.

Bit DQ7 is the most significant bit in the Extended

Block Verify Code and a specific procedure must

be followed to read it. See “Extended Memory

Block Verify Code” in Table 2. and Table 3., Bus

Operations, BYTE = VIL and Bus Operations,

BYTE = VIH, respectively, for details of how to read

bit DQ7.

The Extended Block can only be accessed when

the device is in Extended Block mode. For details

of how the Extended Block mode is entered and

exited, refer to the Enter Extended Block Com-

mand and Exit Extended Block Command para-

graphs, and to Table 4. and Table 5., “Commands,

16-bit mode, BYTE = VIH” and “Commands, 8-bit

mode, BYTE = VIL”, respectively.

Factory Locked Extended Block

In devices where the Extended Block is factory

locked, the Security Identification Number is writ-

ten to the Extended Block address space (see Ta-

ble 28., Extended Block Address and Data) in the

factory. The DQ7 bit is set to ‘1’ and the Extended

Block cannot be unprotected.

Customer Lockable Extended Block

A device where the Extended Block is customer

lockable is delivered with the DQ7 bit set to ‘0’ and

the Extended Block unprotected. It is up to the

customer to program and protect the Extended

Block but care must be taken because the protec-

tion of the Extended Block is not reversible.

There are two ways of protecting the Extended

Block:

■

Issue the Enter Extended Block command to

place the device in Extended Block mode,

then use the In-System Technique with RP

either at VIH or at VID (refer to APPENDIX D.,

In-System Technique and to the

corresponding flowcharts, Figure 22. and

Figure 23., for a detailed explanation of the

technique).

■

Issue the Enter Extended Block command to

place the device in Extended Block mode,

then use the Programmer Technique (refer to

APPENDIX D., Programmer Technique and to

the corresponding flowcharts, Figure 20. and

Figure 21., for a detailed explanation of the

technique).

Once the Extended Block is programmed and pro-

tected, the Exit Extended Block command must be

issued to exit the Extended Block mode and return

the device to Read mode.
