In order to unsecure the device, the password needs to be written as follows: first the upper word to the 
PWCMPH register, then the lower word to the PWCMPL register. The SSCM compares the password and 
if the password is correct, unlocks the device.
38.3 Functional description
The primary purpose of the SSCM is to provide information about the current state and configuration of 
the system that may be useful for configuring application software and for debug of the system.
