A write protection mechanism may be implemented that is external to a non-volatile memory device (210) and/or that is external to controller/s (220, 230) that interface with the non-volatile memory device (210), thus providing increased security over unauthorized and/or undesirable write cycles to the memory device (210). Write protection security may be further enhanced by providing a write protection control signal (272) that is external to the non-volatile memory and attached memory controller/s (220, 230), thus preventing accidental or intentional override. |
