If protected pages or blocks are contained, the automatic chip erasing is performed on unprotected pages or
blocks (Note1). After erased, flash memory returns to command sequence input mode.
Erasing target: Code Flash, Data Flash

protection bit erase command.
Another command sequence is not accepted during automatic operation. If the users attempt to stop the
automatic chip erase, refer to “4.1.4Stopping Automatic Chip Erasing”. In this case, data may not be erased
