Some microcontrollers have an incorrectly designed security protection fuse, which gets erased earlier than the memory. As a result, if the chip erase operation is terminated prematurely, information could be read from the on-chip memory in a normal way. That was the case, for example, for the Atmel AT89C51 microcontroller. When this became known in the late nineties, Atmel redesigned the chip layout and improved security to prevent this attack, so that chips manufacturers design their products so that the security fuses cannot be erased before the main memory is entirely cleared, thus preventing this low cost attack on their devices.
