A MEDIA PLAYER AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR A MEDIA PLAYER AND A METHOD OF PRODUCING BOTH

摘要

Disclosed is an integrated circuit and method of producing same. The integrated circuit may include media player control logic, content decoder logic, and in some cases an non-volatile memory array. According to some embodiments of the present invention, there may be included an NVM controller which may be adapted to provide restricted access to the NVM. The NVM controller may restrict read access to content playing segments of the IC. The NVM controller may provide write access during a device production or loading phase and may restrict user write access.
