Electronic device for protecting data
An electronic device generates an access signal according to user input. The electronic device includes a processor, a key circuit to generate a key signal according to press of the user, a storage unit to store data, a clock generator circuit to generate a clock signal, and a protection circuit. The protection circuit generates an enable signal or a disable signal according to the key signal and the clock signal to control the storage unit to unlock or lock, and transmits the access signal to the storage unit to access the data.
