Abstract
A hardware circuit for protecting against the accidental writing in an area of memory which contains critical data. In order to access the critical data memory area during a write cycle, it is necessary first to control predetermined memory access cycles which include, for example, the writing of predetermined data at a predetermined address. After detection of such a 'fictitious' write cycle, the hardware allows the next write cycle to access the critical data memory area.
