8.2.38Individual Block/Sector Lock (36h)

The Individual Block/Sector Lock provides an alternative way to protect the memory array from adverse

Erase/Program. In order to use the Individual Block/Sector Locks, the WPS bit in Status Register-3

must be set to 1. If WPS=0, the write protection will be determined by the combination of CMP, SEC,

TB, BP[2:0] bits in the Status Registers. The Individual Block/Sector Lock bits are volatile bits. The

default values after device power up or after a Reset are 1, so the entire memory array is being

protected.

To lock a specific block or sector as illustrated in Figure 4d, an Individual Block/Sector Lock command

must be issued by driving /CS low, shifting the instruction code “36h” into the Data Input (DI) pin on the

rising edge of CLK, followed by a 24-bit address and then driving /CS high. A Write Enable instruction

must be executed before the device will accept the Individual Block/Sector Lock Instruction (Status
