11.2.29 Read Security Register (2Bh)
The Read Security Register instruction is for reading the value of Security Register bits. The Read
Security Register can be read at any time (even in program/erase/write status register condition)
and continuously.
The definition of the Security Register bits is as below:
Secured OTP Indicator bit. The Secured OTP indicator bit shows the chip is locked by factory
before ex-factory or not. When it is “0”, it indicates non-factory lock, “1” indicates factory-lock.
Lock-down Secured OTP (LDSO) bit. By writing WRSCUR instruction, the LDSO bit may be set
to “1” for customer lock-down purpose. However, once the bit it set to “1” (Lock-down), the LDSO
bit and the 4K-bit Secured OTP area cannot be updated any more. While it is in 4K-bit Secured
OTP mode, array access is not allowed to write.
