  • Apparatuses for securing program code stored in a non-volatile memory
    Patent number: 9542113
    Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus for securing program code stored in a non-volatile memory is introduced. A non-volatile memory contains a first region and a second region. Two NVMMCS (non-volatile memory management controllers) are respectively coupled to the two regions. A programming command-and-address decoder is coupled to the NVMMCS. The programming command-and-address decoder instructs the first NVMMC to erase data from the first region when receiving a command to erase the first region via a programming interface, and instructs the second NVMMC to erase data from the second region when receiving a command to erase the second region via the programming interface.
