GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IS25LP256A/128A and IS25WP256A/128A Serial Flash memory offers a versatile storage solution with high
flexibility and performance in a simplified pin count package. ISSI’s “Industry Standard Serial Interface” Flash is
for systems that require limited space, a low pin count, and low power consumption. The device is accessed
through a 4-wire SPI Interface consisting of a Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), Serial Clock
(SCK), and Chip Enable (CE#) pins, which can also be configured to serve as multi-I/O (see pin descriptions).
The device supports Dual and Quad I/O as well as standard, Dual Output, and Quad Output SPI. Clock
frequencies of up to 166MHz allow for equivalent clock rates of up to 664MHz (166MHz x 4) which equates to
83Mbytes/s of data throughput. The IS25xP series of Flash adds support for DTR (Double Transfer Rate)
commands that transfer addresses and read data on both edges of the clock. These transfer rates can
outperform 16-bit Parallel Flash memories allowing for efficient memory access to support XIP (execute in place)
operation.
The memory array is organized into programmable pages of 256 bytes. This family supports page program
mode where 1 to 256 bytes of data are programmed in a single command. QPI (Quad Peripheral Interface)
supports 2-cycle instruction further reducing instruction times. Pages can be erased in groups of 4Kbyte sectors,
32Kbyte blocks, 64Kbyte blocks, and/or the entire chip. The uniform sector and block architecture allows for a
high degree of flexibility so that the device can be utilized for a broad variety of applications requiring solid data
retention.
GLOSSARY
Standard SPI
In this operation, a 4-wire SPI Interface is utilized, consisting of Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO),
Serial Clock (SCK), and Chip Enable (CE#) pins. Instructions are sent via the SI pin to encode instructions,
addresses, or input data to the device on the rising edge of SCK. The SO pin is used to read data or to check the
status of the device. This device supports SPI bus operation modes (0,0) and (1,1).
Mutil I/O SPI
Multi-I/O operation utilizes an enhanced SPI protocol to allow the device to function with Dual Output, Dual Input
and Output, Quad Output, and Quad Input and Output capability. Executing these instructions through SPI mode
will achieve double or quadruple the transfer bandwidth for READ and PROGRAM operations.
Quad I/O QPI
The device enables QPI protocol by issuing an “Enter QPI mode (35h)” command. The QPI mode uses four IO
pins for input and output to decrease SPI instruction overhead and increase output bandwidth. SI and SO pins
become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and WP# and HOLD# pins become IO2 and IO3 respectively during QPI
mode. Issuing an “Exit QPI (F5h) command will cause the device to exit QPI mode. Power Reset or
Hardware/Software Reset can also return the device into the standard SPI mode.
DTR
In addition to SPI and QPI features, the device also supports SPI DTR READ. SPI DTR allows high data
throughput while running at lower clock frequencies. SPI DTR READ mode uses both rising and falling edges of
the clock to drive output, resulting in reducing input and output cycles by half.
Programmable drive strength and Selectable burst setting.
The device offers programmable output drive strength and selectable burst (wrap) length features to increase the
efficiency and performance of READ operation. The driver strength and burst setting features are controlled by
setting the Read Registers. A total of six different drive strengths and four different burst sizes (8/16/32/64 Byte)
are available for selection.

2. PIN DESCRIPTIONS
For all other packages except the package with additional RESET# pin option
SYMBOL
TYPE
DESCRIPTION
Chip Enable: The Chip Enable (CE#) pin enables and disables the devices operation.
When CE# is high the device is deselected and output pins are in a high impedance
state. When deselected the devices non-critical internal circuitry power down to allow
minimal levels of power consumption while in a standby state.
CE#
INPUT
When CE# is pulled low the device will be selected and brought out of standby mode.
The device is considered active and instructions can be written to, data read, and
written to the device. After power-up, CE# must transition from high to low before a
new instruction will be accepted.
Keeping CE# in a high state deselects the device and switches it into its low power
state. Data will not be accepted when CE# is high.
SI (IO0),
SO (IO1)
INPUT/
OUTPUT
Serial Data Input, Serial Output, and IOs (SI, SO, IO0, and IO1):
This device supports standard SPI, Dual SPI, and Quad SPI operation. Standard SPI
instructions use the unidirectional SI (Serial Input) pin to write instructions, addresses,
or data to the device on the rising edge of the Serial Clock (SCK). Standard SPI also
uses the unidirectional SO (Serial Output) to read data or status from the device on
the falling edge of the serial clock (SCK).
In Dual and Quad SPI mode, SI and SO become bidirectional IO pins to write
instructions, addresses or data to the device on the rising edge of the Serial Clock
(SCK) and read data or status from the device on the falling edge of SCK. Quad SPI
instructions use the WP# and HOLD# pins as IO2 and IO3 respectively.
WP# (IO2)
INPUT/
OUTPUT
Write Protect/Serial Data IO (IO2): The WP# pin protects the Status Register from
being written in conjunction with the SRWD bit. When the SRWD is set to “1” and the
WP# is pulled low, the Status Register bits (SRWD, QE, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) are
write-protected and vice-versa for WP# high. When the SRWD is set to “0”, the Status
Register is not write-protected regardless of WP# state.
When the QE bit is set to “1”, the WP# pin (Write Protect) function is not available
since this pin is used for IO2.
HOLD# or RESET#/Serial Data IO (IO3): When the QE bit of Status Register is set to
“1”, HOLD# pin or RESET# is not available since it becomes IO3. When QE=0 the pin
acts as HOLD# or RESET# and either one can be selected by the P7 bit setting in
Read Register. HOLD# will be selected if P7=0 (Default) and RESET# will be selected
if P7=1.
HOLD# or
RESET# (IO3)
INPUT/
OUTPUT
The HOLD# pin allows the device to be paused while it is selected. It pauses serial
communication by the master device without resetting the serial sequence. The
HOLD# pin is active low. When HOLD# is in a low state and CE# is low, the SO pin
will be at high impedance. Device operation can resume when HOLD# pin is brought
to a high state.
RESET# pin is a hardware RESET signal. When RESET# is driven HIGH, the memory
is in the normal operating mode. When RESET# is driven LOW, the memory enters
reset mode and output is High-Z. If RESET# is driven LOW while an internal WRITE,
PROGRAM, or ERASE operation is in progress, data may be lost.

4. SPI MODES DESCRIPTION
Multiple IS25LP256A/128A devices or multiple IS25WP256A/128A devices can be connected on the SPI serial
bus and controlled by a SPI Master, i.e. microcontroller, as shown in Figure 4.1. The devices support either of two
SPI modes:
Mode 0 (0, 0)
Mode 3 (1, 1)
The difference between these two modes is the clock polarity. When the SPI master is in stand-by mode, the
serial clock remains at “0” (SCK = 0) for Mode 0 and the clock remains at “1” (SCK = 1) for Mode 3. Please refer
to Figure 4.2 and Figure 4.3 for SPI and QPI mode. In both modes, the input data is latched on the rising edge of
Serial Clock (SCK), and the output data is available from the falling edge of SCK.

Note: WEL bit can be written by WREN and WRDI commands, but cannot by WRSR command.
The BP0, BP1, BP2, BP3, QE, and SRWD are non-volatile memory cells that can be written by a Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction. The default value of the BP0, BP1, BP2, BP3, QE, and SRWD bits were set to “0” at
factory. The Status Register can be read by the Read Status Register (RDSR).
The function of Status Register bits are described as follows:
WIP bit: Write In Progress (WIP) is read-only, and can be used to detect the progress or completion of a Program,
Erase, Write/Set Non-Volatile/OTP Register, or Gang Sector/Block Lock/Unlock operation. WIP is set to “1” (busy
state) when the device is executing the operation. During this time the device will ignore further instructions except
for Read Status/Function/Extended Read Register and Software/Hardware Reset instructions. In addition to the
instructions, an Erase/Program Suspend instruction also can be executed during a Program or Erase operation.
When an operation has completed, WIP is cleared to “0” (ready state) whether the operation is successful or not
and the device is ready for further instructions.
WEL bit: Write Enable Latch (WEL) indicates the status of the internal write enable latch. When WEL is “0”, the
internal write enable latch is disabled and the Write operations described in Table 6.3 are inhibited. When WEL is
“1”, the Write operations are allowed. WEL is set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. Each Write Non-Volatile
Register, Program and Erase instruction must be preceded by a WREN instruction. The volatile register related
commands such as the Set Volatile Read Register, the Set Volatile Extended Read Register, the Write Volatile
Bank Address Register, and WRDYB don’t require to set WEL to “1". WEL can be reset by a Write Disable
(WRDI) instruction. It will automatically reset after the completion of any Write operation.

BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits: The Block Protection (BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits are used to define the portion of
the memory area to be protected. Refer to Table 6.4 for the Block Write Protection (BP) bit settings. When a
defined combination of BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits are set, the corresponding memory area is protected. Any
program or erase operation to that area will be inhibited.
Note: A Chip Erase (CER) instruction will be ignored unless all the Block Protection Bits are “0”s.
SRWD bit: The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit operates in conjunction with the Write Protection (WP#)
signal to provide a Hardware Protection Mode. When the SRWD is set to “0”, the Status Register is not writeprotected. When the SRWD is set to “1” and the WP# is pulled low (VIL), the bits of Status Register (SRWD, QE,
BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) become read-only, and a WRSR instruction will be ignored. If the SRWD is set to “1” and
WP# is pulled high (VIH), the Status Register can be changed by a WRSR instruction.
QE bit: The Quad Enable (QE) is a non-volatile bit in the Status Register that allows quad operation. When the
QE bit is set to “0”, the pin WP# and HOLD#/RESET# are enabled. When the QE bit is set to “1”, the IO2 and IO3
pins are enabled.
WARNING: The QE bit must be set to “0” if WP# or HOLD#/RESET# pin is tied directly to the power supply.

6.3 READ REGISTER AND EXTENDED REGISTER
Read Register format and bit definitions are described below. Read Register and Extended Read Register consist
of a pair of rewritable non-volatile register and volatile register, respectively. During power up sequence, volatile
register will be loaded with the value of non-volatile value.
6.3.1 READ REGISTER
Table 6.7 and Table 6.8 define all bits that control features in SPI/QPI modes. HOLD#/RESET# pin selection (P7)
bit is used to select HOLD# pin or RESET# pin. For 16-pin SOIC, RESET# pin will be a separate pin (pin3). The
Dummy Cycle bits (P6, P5, P4, P3) define how many dummy cycles are used during various READ modes. The
wrap selection bits (P2, P1, P0) define burst length with an enable bit.
The SET READ PARAMETERS Operations (SRPNV: 65h, SRPV: C0h or 63h) are used to set all the Read
Register bits, and can thereby define HOLD#/RESET# pin selection, dummy cycles, and burst length with wrap
around. SRPNV is used to set the non-volatile register and SRPV is used to set the volatile register.

6.3.2 EXTENDED READ REGISTER
Table 6.12 and Table 6.13 define all bits that control features in SPI/QPI modes. The ODS2, ODS1, ODS0 (EB7,
EB6, EB5) bits provide a method to set and control driver strength. The four bits (EB3, EB2, EB1, EB0) are readonly bits and may be checked to know what the WIP status is or whether there is an error during an Erase,
Program, or Write/Set Register operation. These bits are not affected by SERPNV or SERPV commands. EB4 bit
remains reserved for future use.
The SET EXTENDED READ PARAMETERS Operations (SERPNV: 85h, SERPV: 83h) are used to set all the
Extended Read Register bits, and can thereby define the output driver strength used during READ modes.
SRPNV is used to set the non-volatile register and SRPV is used to set the volatile register.

WIP bit: The definition of the WIP bit is exactly same as the one of Status Register.
PROT_E bit: The Protection Error bit indicates whether an Erase or Program operation has attempted to modify a
protected array sector or block, or to access a locked Information Row region. When the bit is set to “1” it indicates
that there was an error or errors in previous Erase or Program operations. See Table 6.15 for details.
P_ERR bit: The Program Error bit indicates whether a Program or Write/Set OTP/Non-Volatile Register operation
has succeeded or failed, or whether a Program operation has attempted to program a protected array sector/block
or a locked Information Row region. When the bit is set to “1” it indicates that there was an error or errors in
previous Program or Write/Set Register operations. See Table 6.15 for details.
E_ERR bit: The Erase Error bit indicates whether an Erase or Write/Set OTP/Non-Volatile Register operation has
succeeded or failed, or whether an Erase operation has attempted to erase a protected array sector/block or a
locked Information Row region. When the bit is set to “1” it indicates that there was an error or errors in previous
Erase or Write/Set Non-Volatile Register operations. See Table 6.15 for details.

will result in a programming error with P_ERR and PROT_E set to “1”.
IRP
The command will set the P_ERR if there is a failure in the operation. In attempting to
program within a locked Information Row region, the operation will fail with P_ERR and
PROT_E set to 1.
PGASP
The command will set the P_ERR if there is a failure in the operation. Attempting to program
ASPR[2:1] after the Protection Mode is selected or attempting to program ASPR[2:1] = 00b
will result in a programming error with P_ERR and PROT_E set to “1”.

If the UNPWD command supplied password does not match the hidden internal password,
the UNPWD operation fails in the same manner as a programming operation on a protected
sector/block and sets the P_ERR and PROT_E to “1”.
The update process for the non-volatile register bits involves an erase and a program
operation on the non-volatile register bits. If either the erase or program portion of the update
fails, the related error bit (P_ERR or E_ERR) will be set to “1”.
Only for WRSR command, when Status Register is write-protected by SRWD bit and WP#
pin, attempting to write the register will set PROT_E and E_ERR to “1”.
The commands will set the P_ERR if there is a failure in the operation.
The commands will set the E_ERR if there is a failure in the operation. E_ERR and PROT_E
will be set to “1” when the user attempts to erase a protected main memory sector/block or a
locked Information Row region. However, the Chip Erase (CER) command will not set
E_ERR and PROT_E if a protected sector/block is found during the command execution.
Notes:
1. OTP bits in the Function Register and TBPARM (OTP bit) in the ASP Register may only be programmed to “1”.
Writing of the bits back to “0” is ignored and no error is set.
2. Read only bits and partially protected bits by FREEZE bit in registers are never modified by a command so that the
corresponding bits in the Write/Set Register command data byte are ignored without setting any error indication.
3. Once the PROT_E, P_ERR, and E_ERR error bits are set to “1”, they remains set to “1” until they are cleared to “0”
with a Clear Extended Read Register (CLERP) command. This means that those error bits must be cleared through
the CLERP command. Alternatively, Hardware Reset, or Software Reset may be used to clear the bits.
4. Any further command will be executed even though the error bits are set to “1”.

BA24: The Bank Address Register supplies additional high order bits of the main flash array byte boundary
address for legacy commands that supply only the low order 24 bits of address. The Bank Address is used as the
high bits of address (above A23) for all 3-byte address commands when EXTADD=0. The Bank Address is not
used when EXTADD = 1 and traditional 3-byte address commands are instead required to provide all four bytes of
address.
EXTADD: Extended Address (EXTADD) controls the address field size for legacy SPI commands. By default
(Power Up, Hardware Reset, and Software Reset), it is cleared to “0” for 3 bytes (24 bits) of address. When set to
“1”, the legacy commands will require 4 bytes (32 bits) for the address field.

The Advanced Sector/Block Protection Register (ASPR) is used to permanently configure the behavior of
Advanced Sector/Block Protection (ASP) features and parameter sectors location.
PWDMLB (ASPR[2]) and PSTMLB (ASPR[1]) bits: When shipped from the factory, all devices default ASP to
the Persistent Protection Mode, with all sectors unprotected, when power is applied. The device programmer or
host system must then choose which sector/block protection method to use. Programming either of the Protection
Mode Lock Bits locks the part permanently in the selected mode:




ASPR[2:1] = 11 = No ASP mode selected, Persistent Protection Mode is the default.
ASPR[2:1] = 10 = Persistent Protection Mode permanently selected.
ASPR[2:1] = 01 = Password Protection Mode permanently selected.
ASPR[2:1] = 00 = Illegal condition, attempting to program both bits to zero results in a programming failure and
the program operation will abort. It will result in a programming error with P_ERR set to 1.
As a result, PWDMLB and PSTMLB are mutually exclusive, only one may be programmed to zero.
ASPR programming rules:
 If the Password Protection Mode is chosen, the password must be programmed prior to setting the
corresponding bit.
 Once the Protection Mode is selected, the ASPR[2:1] bits are permanently protected from programming and no
further change to the ASPR[2:1] is allowed. Attempting to program ASPR[2:1] after selected will result in a
programming error with P_ERR set to 1. The programming time of the ASPR is the same as the typical page
programming time. The system can determine the status of the ASPR programming operation by reading the
WIP bit in the Status Register or Extended Read Register.
 TBPARM bit can be programmed even after ASPR[2:1] bits are programmed while the FREEZE bit in the PPB
Lock Register is “0”.

TBPARM bit: TBPARM defines the logical location of the parameter block. The parameter block consists of thirtytwo 4KB sectors, which replace two 64KB blocks. When TBPARM is set to a “0” the parameter block is in the top
of the memory array address space. When TBPARM is set to a “1” the parameter block is at the Bottom of the
array. TBPARM is OTP and set to a “1” when it ships from Factory. If TBPARM is programmed to “0”, an attempt
to change it back to “1” will fail and ignore the Program.
The desired state of TBPARM must be selected during the initial configuration of the device during system
manufacture; before the first program or erase operation on the main flash array. TBPARM must not be
programmed after programming or erasing is done in the main flash array.
TBS can be programmed independent of TBPARM. Therefore, the user can elect to store parameter information
from the bottom of the array and protect boot code starting at the top of the array, and vice versa. Or the user can
select to store and protect the parameter information starting from the top or bottom together.

PPBLK bit: The PPB Lock bit is a volatile bit for protecting all PPB bits. When cleared to 0, it locks all PPBs, when
set to 1, it allows the PPBs to be changed. The WRPLB command is used to clear the PPB Lock bit to 0. The PPB
Lock bit must be cleared to 0 only after all the PPBs are configured to the desired settings.
In Persistent Protection mode, the PPB Lock bit is set to 1 during POR or Hardware Reset. When cleared to 0, no
software command sequence can set the PPB Lock bit to 1, only another Hardware Reset or power-up can set the
PPB Lock bit.
In the Password Protection mode, the PPB Lock bit is cleared to 0 during POR or Hardware Reset. The PPB Lock
bit can only be set to 1 by the Unlock Password command.
FREEZE bit: FREEZE bit, when set to “1”, locks the current state of BP3-0 in Status Register, TBS in the Function
Register, TBPARM in the Advanced Sector/Block Protection Register, and the Information Row. This prevents
writing, programming, or erasing these areas. As long as FREEZE remains cleared to logic “0”, BP3-0 in Status
Register, TBS in the Function Register, and TBPARM in the Advanced Sector/Block Protection Register are
writable and the Information Row is programmable. Once FREEZE has been written to a logic “1” it can only be
cleared to a logic “0” by a power-on cycle or a Hardware Reset. Software Reset will not affect the state of
FREEZE. The FREEZE is volatile and the default state of FREEZE after power-on is “0”. The FREEZE can be set
to “1” by a SFRZ command.

7. PROTECTION MODE
The device supports hardware and software write-protection mechanisms.
7.1 HARDWARE WRITE PROTECTION
The Write Protection (WP#) pin provides a hardware write protection method for BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, SRWD,
and QE in the Status Register. Refer to the section 6.1 STATUS REGISTER.
Write inhibit voltage (VWI) is specified in the section 9.7 POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN. All write sequence will
be ignored when Vcc drops to VWI.

Note: Before the execution of any program, erase or Write Status/Function Register instruction, the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit must be enabled by executing a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. If the WEL bit is not enabled,
the program, erase or write register instruction will be ignored.
7.2 SOFTWARE WRITE PROTECTION
The device also provides two kinds of software write protection feature. One is Block Protection by Block
Protection bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) and another is Advanced Sector/Block Protection (ASP). When Block
Protection is enabled (i.e., any BP3-0 are set to “1”), Advanced Sector/Block Protection (ASP) can still be used to
protect sectors/blocks not protected by the Block Protection scheme. In the case that both ASP and Block
Protection are used on the same sector/block the logical OR of ASP and Block Protection related to the
sector/block is used.
Warning: ASP and Block Protection should not be used concurrently. Use one or the other, but not both.
7.2.1 BLOCK PROTECTION BITS
The device provides a software write protection feature. The Block Protection bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) allow
part or the whole memory area to be write-protected. For details, see 6.1 Status Register.

7.2.2 ADVANCED SECTOR/BLOCK PROTECTION (ASP)
There are two ways to implement software Advanced Sector/Block Protection on this device: Password Protection
method or Persistent Protection methods. Through these two protection methods, user can disable or enable the
programming or erasing operation to any or all blocks including 32 top 4K sectors or 32 bottom 4K sectors. The
Figure 7.1 shows an overview of these methods.
Every main flash array block/top sector/bottom sector has a non-volatile (PPB) and a volatile (DYB) protection bit
associated with it. When either bit is 0, the sector is protected from program and erase operations.
The PPB bits are protected from program and erase when the PPB Lock bit is “0”. The PPB bits are erased so
that all main flash array sectors are unprotected when shipped from factory.
There are two methods for managing the state of the PPB Lock bit, Persistent Protection and Password
Protection.
The Persistent Protection Mode sets the PPB Lock bit to “1” during power up or Hardware Reset so that the PPB
bits are unprotected. There is a WRPLB command to clear the PPB Lock bit to “0” to protect the PPB bits. There
is no command in the Persistent Protection method to set the PPB Lock bit therefore the PPB Lock bit will remain
at “0” until the next power up or Hardware Reset. The Persistent Protection method allows boot code the option of
changing sector protection by programming or erasing the PPB, then protecting the PPB from further change for
the remainder of normal system operation by clearing the PPB Lock bit. This is sometimes called Boot-code
controlled sector protection.
The Password Protection Mode requires use of a password to control PPB protection. In the Password Protection
Mode, the PPB Lock bit is cleared to “0” during power up or Hardware Reset to protect the PPB bits. A 64-bit
password may be permanently programmed and hidden for the Password Protection Mode. The UNPWD
command can be used to provide a password for comparison with the hidden password. If the password matches
the PPB Lock bit is set to “1” to unprotect the PPB. The WRPLB command can be used to clear the PPB Lock bit
to “0”. After clearing the PPB Lock bit to “0”, the UNPWD command can be used again to unprotect the PPB.
The selection of the PPB Lock bit management method is made by programming OTP bits in the ASP Register so
as to permanently select the method used.

Persistent Protection Bits (PPBs)
The Persistent Protection Bits (PPBs) are unique for each sector/block and non-volatile (refer to Figure 7.1, Table
7.2, and Table 7.3). It is programmed individually but must be erased as a group, similar to the way individual
words may be programmed in the main array but an entire sector/block must be erased at the same time. The
PPBs have the same endurances as the Flash memory. Preprogramming and verification prior to erasure are
handled by the device, and therefore do not require system monitoring. Programming a PPB bit requires the
typical page programming time. Erasing all the PPBs requires typical sector erase time. During PPB bit
programming and PPB bit erasing, status is available by reading the Status Register or Extended Read Register.
Reading of a PPB bit requires the initial access time of the device.
Notes:
1. Each PPB is individually programmed to “0” and all are erased to “1” in parallel.
2. The PPB Lock bit must be cleared first before changing the status of a PPB.
3. While programming PPB, array data cannot be read from any sectors/blocks.
4. When reading the PPB of the desired sector/block the address should be location zero within the sector/block. The high
order address bits not used must be zero.
5. There are no means for individually erasing a specific PPB and no specific sector/block address is required for this
operation.
6. The state of the PPB for a given sector/block can be verified by using a PPB Read command.
7. When the parts are first shipped, the PPBs are cleared (erased to “1”).
Dynamic Protection Bits (DYBs)
Dynamic Protection Bits (DYBs) are volatile and unique for each sector/block and can be individually modified.
DYBs only control the protection for unprotected sectors/blocks that have their PPBs cleared (erased to “1”). By
issuing the Write DYB command, the DYBs are cleared to “0” or set to “1”, thus placing each sector/block in the
protected or unprotected state respectively. This feature allows software to easily protect sectors/blocks against
inadvertent changes, yet does not prevent the easy removal of protection when changes are needed. The DYBs
can be set or cleared as often as needed as they are volatile bits.
Persistent Protection Bit (PPB) Lock Bit
The PPB Lock bit is a volatile bit for protecting all PPB bits. When cleared to “0”, it locks all PPBs and when set to
“1”, it allows the PPBs to be changed. . If the PPB Lock bit is “0”, the PPB Program or Erase command does not
execute and fails without programming or erasing the PPB.
In Persistent Protection mode, the PPB Lock bit is set to “1” during power up or Hardware Reset. When cleared
to “0”, no software command sequence can set the PPB Lock bit to “1”, only another Hardware Reset or powerup can set the PPB Lock bit.
In the Password Protection mode, the PPB Lock bit is cleared to “0” during power up or a Hardware Reset during
power up or a Hardware Reset during power up or a Hardware Reset. The PPB Lock bit can only be set to “1” by
the Password Unlock command.
The PPB Lock bit must be cleared to “0” only after all PPBs are configured to the desired settings.

Sector/Block Protection States Summary
Each sector in specific blocks and each of all other blocks except for the specific blocks can be in one of the
following protection states:
 Unlocked – The sector/block is unprotected and protection can be changed by a simple command. The
protection state defaults to unprotected after a power cycle, software reset, or hardware reset.
 Dynamically Locked – A sector/block is protected and protection can be changed by a simple command. The
protection state is not saved across a power cycle or reset.
 Persistently Locked – A sector/block is protected and protection can only be changed if the PPB Lock bit is set
to “1”. The protection state is non-volatile and saved across a power cycle or reset. Changing the protection
state requires programming and or erase of the PPB bits.
Table 7.4 contains all possible combinations of the DYB, PPB, and PPB Lock bit relating to the status of the
sector/block. In summary, if the PPB Lock bit is locked (cleared to “0”), no changes to the PPBs are allowed. The
PPB Lock bit can only be unlocked (set to “1”) through a Hardware Reset or power cycle.

Persistent Protection Mode
The Persistent Protection Mode sets the PPB Lock bit to “1” during power up or Hardware Reset so that the PPB
bits are unprotected by a device Hardware Reset. Software Reset does not affect the PPB Lock bit. The WRPLB
command can clear the PPB Lock bit to “0” to protect the PPB. There is no command to set the PPB Lock bit
therefore the PPB Lock bit will remain at “0” until the next power up or Hardware Reset.
Password Protection Mode
The Password Protection Mode allows an even higher level of security than the Persistent Protection Mode by
requiring a 64-bit password for unlocking the device PPB Lock bit. In addition to this password requirement, after
power up or Hardware Reset, the PPB Lock bit is cleared to “0” to maintain the password mode of operation.
Successful execution of the Unlock Password command by entering the entire password sets the PPB Lock bit to
“1”, allowing for sector/block PPBs modifications.
Notes:
1. The password is all “1”s when shipped from Factory. It is located in its own memory space and is accessible through the
use of the Program Password and Read Password commands.
2. Once the Password is programmed and verified, the Password Protection Mode Lock Bit (ASPR[2]=0) in ASP Register
must be programmed in order to prevent reading or modifying the password. After the Password Protection Mode Lock Bit
is programmed, all further Program and Read commands to the password region are disabled and these commands are
ignored so that there is no means to verify what the password is. Password verification is only allowed before selecting the
Password Protection Mode.
3. The Program Password Command is only capable of programming “0”s. Programming a “1” after a cell is programmed as
a “0” results in the cell left as a “0” with no programming error.
4. All 64-bit password combinations are valid as a password.
5. The Protection Mode Lock Bits in ASP Register are not erasable because they are OTP.
6. The exact password must be entered in order for the unlocking function to occur. If the password provided by Unlock
Password command does not match the hidden internal password, the unlock operation fails in the same manner as a
programming operation on a protected sector/block. The P_ERR and PROT_E are set to 1 and the PPB Lock bit remains
cleared to 0. In this case it is a failure to change the state of the PPB Lock bit because it is still protected by the lack of a
valid password.
7. The Unlock Password command cannot be accepted any faster than once every 100μs ± 20μs. This makes it take an
unreasonably long time (58 million years) for a hacker to run through all the 64-bit combinations in an attempt to correctly
match a password. The Read Status Register command or the Read Extended Read Register may be used to read the
WIP bit to determine when the device has completed the Unlock Password command or is ready to accept a new
password command. When a valid password is provided the Unlock Password command does not insert the 100μs delay
before returning the WIP bit to zero.
8. If the password is lost after selecting the Password Protection Mode, there is no way to set the PPB Lock bit.

8. DEVICE OPERATION
8.1 COMMAND OVERVIEW
The device utilizes an 8-bit instruction register. Refer to Table 8.4. Instruction Set for details on instructions and
instruction codes. All instructions, addresses, and data are shifted in with the most significant bit (MSB) first on
Serial Data Input (SI) or Serial Data IOs (IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3). The input data on SI or IOs is latched on the rising
edge of Serial Clock (SCK) for normal mode and both of rising and falling edges for DTR mode after Chip Enable
(CE#) is driven low (VIL). Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code and is followed by
address bytes and/or dummy cycles (configurable) and/or data bytes, depending on the type of instruction. CE#
must be driven high (VIH) after the last bit of the instruction sequence has been shifted in to end the operation.
Commands are structured as follows:
 Each command begins with a byte (eight bits) instruction.
 The instruction may be stand alone or may be followed by address bits to select a location within one of
several address spaces in the device. The address may be either a 24-bit or 32-bit byte boundary address.
 The SPI interface with Multiple IO provides the option for each transfer of address and data information to be
done one, two, or four bits in parallel. This enables a tradeoff between the number of signal connections (IO
bus width) and the speed of information transfer. If the host system can support a two or four bit wide IO bus
the memory performance can be increased by using the instructions that provide parallel two bit (dual) or
parallel four bit (quad) transfers.
 The width of all transfers following the instruction are determined by the instruction sent.
 All single bit or parallel bit groups are transferred in most to least significant bit order.
 Some instructions send Mode Bits following the address to indicate that the next command will be of the same
type with an implied, rather than an explicit, instruction. The next command thus does not provide an
instruction byte, only a new address and mode bits. This reduces the time needed to send each command
when the same command type is repeated in a sequence of commands.
 The address or Mode Bits may be followed by Dummy Cycles before read data is returned to the host.
 Dummy Cycles may be zero to several SCK cycles. In fact, Mode Bits will be counted as a part of Dummy
Cycles.
 All instruction, address, Mode, and data information is transferred in byte granularity. Addresses are shifted
into the device with the Most Significant Byte first. All data is transferred with the lowest address byte sent first.
Following bytes of data are sent in lowest to highest byte address order i.e. the byte address increments.
 All attempts to read the flash memory array during a program, erase, or a write cycle (embedded operations)
are ignored. The embedded operation will continue to execute without any affect. A very limited set of
commands are accepted during an embedded operation. These are discussed in the individual command
descriptions. While a program, erase, or write operation is in progress, it is recommended to check that the
Write In Progress (WIP) bit is “0” before issuing most commands to the device, to ensure the new command
can be accepted.
 Depending on the command, the time for execution varies. A command to read status information from an
executing command is available to determine when the command completes execution and whether the
command was successful.
 Following are some general signal relationship descriptions to keep in mind.
– The host always controls the Chip Enable (CE#), Serial Clock (SCK), and Serial Input (SI) - SI for single
bit wide transfers. The memory drives Serial Output (SO) for single bit read transfers. The host and
memory alternately drive the IO0-IO3 signals during Dual and Quad transfers.
– All commands begin with the host selecting the memory by driving CE# low before the first rising edge of
SCK. CE# is kept low throughout a command and when CE# is returned high the command ends.
Generally, CE# remains low for 8-bit transfer multiples to transfer byte granularity information. All commands
will not be accepted if CE# is returned high not at an 8-bit boundary.

8.2 COMMAND SET SUMMARY
Extended Addressing
To accommodate addressing above 128Mb (24-bit), there are three options:
1. New instructions with 4-byte (32-bit) address. See Table 8.2.
2. 4-byte addressing with the 3-byte address instructions:
For backward compatibility to the 3-byte address instructions, the standard instructions can be used in
conjunction with the EXTADD Bit in the Bank Address Register (BAR[7]) or Enter 4-byte Address Mode to
switch from 3 bytes to 4 bytes of address field. When EXTADD bit is set to 1 or Enter 4-byte Address Mode
command is issued only in the case that EXTADD bit = 0, the instructions are changed to require 4-byte (32bit) for the address field. See Table 8.3.
3. 3-byte addressing with the 3-byte address instructions:
For backward compatibility to the 3-byte addressing, the standard instructions can be used in conjunction with
the Bank Address Register. See Table 8.3.
 The Bank Address Register is used to switch between 128Mbit (16Mbyte) banks of memory, the standard
3-byte address selects an address within the bank selected by the Bank Address Register.
o The host system writes the Bank Address Register to access beyond the first 128Mbit of memory.
o This applies to read, erase, and program commands.
 The Bank Address Register provides the high order (4th) byte of address, which is used to address the
available memory at addresses greater than 128Mbit.
 Bank Address Register bits are volatile.
o On power up, the default is Bank0 (the lowest address 16 Mbytes).
 For Read, the device will continuously transfer out data until the end of the array.
o There is no bank to bank delay.
o The Bank Address Register is not updated.
o The Bank Address Register value is used only for the initial address of an access.

Notes:
1. The number of dummy cycles depends on the value setting in the Table 6.11 Read Dummy Cycles.
2. AXh has to be counted as a part of dummy cycles. X means “don’t care”.
3. XX means “don’t care”.
4. A<23:9> are “don’t care” and A<8:4> are always “0”.

8.3 NORMAL READ OPERATION (NORD, 03h or 4NORD, 13h)
The Normal Read (NORD) instruction is used to read memory contents at a maximum frequency of 80MHz.
 03h (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 03h (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 13h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The Normal Read instruction code is transmitted via the SI line, followed by three (A23 - A0) or four (A31 – A0)
address bytes of the first memory location to be read as above. A total of 24 or 32 address bits are shifted in, but
only AMSB (Most Significant Bit) - A0 are decoded. The remaining bits (A31 – AMSB+1) are ignored. The first byte
addressed can be at any memory location. Upon completion, any data on the SI will be ignored. Refer to Table
8.5 for the related Address Key.
The first byte data (D7 - D0) is shifted out on the SO line, MSB first. A single byte of data, or up to the whole
memory array, can be read out in one Normal Read instruction. The address is automatically incremented by one
after each byte of data is shifted out. The read operation can be terminated at any time by driving CE# high (VIH)
after the data comes out. When the highest address of the device is reached, the address counter will roll over to
the 000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be read in one continuous Read instruction.
If the Normal Read instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write operation is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current operation .

8.4 FAST READ OPERATION (FRD, 0Bh or 4FRD, 0Ch)
The Fast Read (FRD, 4FRD) instruction is used to read memory data at up to a 166MHz clock.
 0Bh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 0Bh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 0Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The Fast Read instruction code is followed by three or four address bytes as above and dummy cycles
(configurable, default is 8 clocks), transmitted via the SI line, with each bit latched-in during the rising edge of
SCK. Then the first data byte from the address is shifted out on the SO line, with each bit shifted out at a
maximum frequency fCT, during the falling edge of SCK.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory location. The address is automatically incremented by one after
each byte of data is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will roll over to the
000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be read with a single Fast Read instruction. The Fast Read
instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If the Fast Read instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the instruction
is ignored without affecting the current cycle.

FAST READ QPI OPERATION (FRD QPI, 0Bh or 4FRD QPI, 0Ch)
The Fast Read QPI (FRD QPI) instruction is used to read memory data at up to a 166MHz clock.
 0Bh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 0Bh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 0Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The Fast Read QPI instruction code (2 clocks) is followed by three (6 clocks) or four (8 clocks) address bytes as
above and 6 dummy cycles (configurable, default is 6 clocks), transmitted via the IO3, IO2, IO1 and IO0 lines,
with each bit latched-in during the rising edge of SCK. Then the first data byte addressed is shifted out on the
IO3, IO2, IO1 and IO0 lines, with each bit shifted out at a maximum frequency f CT, during the falling edge of SCK.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory location. The address is automatically incremented by one after
each byte of data is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will roll over to the
000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be read with a single Fast Read QPI instruction. The Fast Read
QPI instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If the Fast Read QPI instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored without affecting the current cycle.
The Fast Read QPI sequence is also applied to the commands in the following table 8.6. However, only 3-byte
address mode QPI sequence is applied for RDUID, RDSFDP, and IRRD commands.

8.5 HOLD OPERATION
HOLD# is used in conjunction with CE# to select the device. When the device is selected and a serial sequence
is underway, HOLD# can be used to pause the serial communication with the master device without resetting the
serial sequence. To pause, HOLD# is brought low while the SCK signal is low. To resume serial communication,
HOLD# is brought high while the SCK signal is low (SCK may still toggle during HOLD). Inputs to SI will be
ignored while SO is in the high impedance state, during HOLD.
Note: HOLD is not supported in DTR mode or with QE=1 or when RESET# is selected for the HOLD# or RESET# pin.
Timing graph can be referenced in AC Parameters Figure 9.4.

8.6 FAST READ DUAL I/O OPERATION (FRDIO, BBh or 4FRDIO, BCh)
The Fast Read Dual I/O (FRDIO, 4FRDIO) instruction allows the address bits to be input two bits at a time. This
may allow for code to be executed directly from the SPI in some applications.
 BBh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 BBh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 BCh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The FRDIO/4FRDIO instruction code is followed by three or four address bytes as above and dummy cycles
(configurable, default is 4 clocks), transmitted via the IO1 and IO0 lines, with each pair of bits latched-in during
the rising edge of SCK. The address MSB is input on IO1, the next bit on IO0, and this shift pattern continues to
alternate between the two lines. Depending on the usage of AX read operation mode, a mode byte may be
located after address input.
The first data byte addressed is shifted out on the IO1 and IO0 lines, with each pair of bits shifted out at a
maximum frequency fCT, during the falling edge of SCK. The first bit (MSB) is output on IO1, while simultaneously
the second bit is output on IO0. Figures 8.7 and 8.8 illustrates the timing sequence.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory location. The address is automatically incremented by one after
each byte of data is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will roll over to the
000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be read with a single FRDIO/4FRDIO instruction. The
FRDIO/4FRDIO instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
The device supports the AX read operation by applying mode bits during dummy period. Mode bits consist of 8
bits, such as M7 to M0. Four cycles after address input are reserved for Mode bits in FRDIO/4FRDIO execution.
M7 to M4 are important for enabling this mode. M3 to M0 become don’t care for future use. When
M[7:4]=1010(Ah), it enables the AX read operation and subsequent FRDIO/4FRDIO execution skips command
code. It saves cycles as described in Figures 8.9 and 8.10. When the code is different from AXh (where X is don’t
care), the device exits the AX read operation. After finishing the read operation, device becomes ready to receive
a new command. SPI or QPI mode configuration retains the prior setting. Mode bit must be applied during
dummy cycles. Number of dummy cycles in Table 6.11 includes number of mode bit cycles. If dummy cycles are
configured as 4 cycles, data output will start right after mode bit is applied.
If the FRDIO/4FRDIO instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not affect the current cycle.

8.7 FAST READ DUAL OUTPUT OPERATION (FRDO, 3Bh or 4FRDO, 3Ch)
The FRDO/4FRDO instruction is used to read memory data on two output pins each at up to a 166MHz clock.
 3Bh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 3Bh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 3Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The FRDO/4FRDO instruction code is followed by three or four address bytes as above and dummy cycles
(configurable, default is 8 clocks), transmitted via the IO0 line, with each bit latched-in during the rising edge of
SCK. Then the first data byte addressed is shifted out on the IO1 and IO0 lines, with each pair of bits shifted out at
a maximum frequency fCT, during the falling edge of SCK. The first bit (MSB) is output on IO1. Simultaneously,
the second bit is output on IO0.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory location. The address is automatically incremented by one after
each byte of data is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will roll over to the
000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be read with a single FRDO/4FRDO instruction. The instruction
FRDO/4FRDO is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If the FRDO/4FRDO instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

8.8 FAST READ QUAD OUTPUT OPERATION (FRQO, 6Bh or 4FRQO 6Ch)
The FRQO/4FRQO instruction is used to read memory data on four output pins each at up to a 166 MHz
clock.
 6Bh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 6Bh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 6Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The FRQO/4FRQO instruction code is followed by three or four address bytes as above and dummy
cycles (configurable, default is 8 clocks), transmitted via the IO0 line, with each bit latched-in during the
rising edge of SCK. Then the first data byte addressed is shifted out on the IO3, IO2, IO1 and IO0 lines,
with each group of four bits shifted out at a maximum frequency f CT, during the falling edge of SCK. The
first bit (MSB) is output on IO3, while simultaneously the second bit is output on IO2, the thir d bit is
output on IO1, etc.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory location. The address is automatically incremented after
each byte of data is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will roll over
to the 000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be read with a single FRQO/4FRQO instruction.
FRQO/4FRQO instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If a FRQO/4FRQO instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

8.9 FAST READ QUAD I/O OPERATION (FRQIO, EBh or 4FRQIO, ECh)
The FRQIO/4FRQIO instruction allows the address bits to be input four bits at a time. This may allow for code to
be executed directly from the SPI in some applications.
 EBh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 EBh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 ECh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The FRQIO/4FRQIO instruction code is followed by three or four address bytes as above and dummy cycles
(configurable, default is 6 clocks), transmitted via the IO3, IO2, IO1 and IO0 lines, with each group of four bits
latched-in during the rising edge of SCK. The address of MSB inputs on IO3, the next bit on IO2, the next bit on
IO1, the next bit on IO0, and continue to shift in alternating on the four. Depending on the usage of AX read
operation mode, a mode byte may be located after address input.
The first data byte addressed is shifted out on the IO3, IO2, IO1 and IO0 lines, with each group of four bits shifted
out at a maximum frequency fCT, during the falling edge of SCK. The first bit (MSB) is output on IO3, while
simultaneously the second bit is output on IO2, the third bit is output on IO1, etc. Figures 8.15 and 8.16 illustrates
the timing sequence.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory location. The address is automatically incremented after each
byte of data is shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will roll over to the 000000h
address, allowing the entire memory to be read with a single FRQIO/4FRQIO instruction. FRQIO/4FRQIO
instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
The device supports the AX read operation by applying mode bits during dummy period. Mode bits consist of 8
bits, such as M7 to M0. Two cycles after address input are reserved for Mode bits in FRQIO/4FRQIO execution.
M7 to M4 are important for enabling this mode. M3 to M0 become don’t care for future use. When
M[7:4]=1010(Ah), it enables the AX read operation and subsequent FRQIO/4FRQIO execution skips command
code. It saves cycles as described in Figures 8.17 and 8.18. When the code is different from AXh (where X is
don’t care), the device exits the AX read operation. After finishing the read operation, device becomes ready to
receive a new command. SPI or QPI mode configuration retains the prior setting. Mode bit must be applied during
dummy cycles. Number of dummy cycles in Table 6.11 includes number of mode bit cycles. If dummy cycles are
configured as 6 cycles, data output will start right after mode bits and 4 additional dummy cycles are applied.
If the FRQIO/4FRQIO instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

FAST READ QUAD I/O QPI OPERATION (FRQIO QPI, EBh or 4FRQIO QPI, ECh)
The FRQIO/4FRQIO QPI instruction is used to read memory data at up to a 166MHz clock.
The FRQIO/4FRQIO QPI instruction utilizes all four IO lines to input the instruction code so that only two clocks
are required, while the FRQIO/4FRQIO instruction requires that the byte-long instruction code is shifted into the
device only via IO0 line in eight clocks. As a result, 6 command cycles will be reduced by the FRQIO/4FRQIO
QPI instruction. In addition, subsequent address and data out are shifted in/out via all four IO lines like the
FRQIO/4FRQIO instruction. In fact, except for the command cycle, the FRQIO/4FRQIO QPI operation is exactly
same as the FRQIO/4FRQIO. A Quad Enable (QE) bit of Status Register must be set to "1" before sending the
FRQIO/4FRQIO QPI instruction.
The device supports the AX read operation by applying mode bits during dummy period. Mode bits consist of 8
bits, such as M7 to M0. Two cycles after address input are reserved for Mode bits in FRQIO/4FRQIO execution.
M7 to M4 are important for enabling this mode. M3 to M0 become don’t care for future use. When
M[7:4]=1010(Ah), it enables the AX read operation and subsequent FRQIO/4FRQIO execution skips command
code. It saves cycles as described in Figures 8.17 and 8.18. When the code is different from AXh (where X is
don’t care), the device exits the AX read operation. After finishing the read operation, device becomes ready to
receive a new command. SPI or QPI mode configuration retains the prior setting. Mode bit must be applied during
dummy cycles. Number of dummy cycles in Table 6.11 includes number of mode bit cycles. If dummy cycles are
configured as 6 cycles, data output will start right after mode bits and 4 additional dummy cycles are applied.
If the FRQIO/4FRQIO QPI instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

8.10 PAGE PROGRAM OPERATION (PP, 02h or 4PP, 12h)
The Page Program (PP/4PP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes data to be programmed into memory in a single
operation. The destination of the memory to be programmed must be outside the protected memory area set by
the Block Protection bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) or ASP. A PP/4PP instruction which attempts to program into a
page that is write-protected will be ignored. Before the execution of PP/4PP instruction, the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) must be enabled through a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
 02h (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 02h (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 12h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The PP/4PP instruction code, three or four address bytes as above and program data (1 to 256 bytes) are input
via the SI line. Program operation will start immediately after the CE# is brought high, otherwise the PP/4PP
instruction will not be executed. The internal control logic automatically handles the programming voltages and
timing. During a program operation, all instructions will be ignored except the RDSR instruction. The progress or
completion of the program operation can be determined by reading the WIP bit. If the WIP bit is “1”, the program
operation is still in progress. If WIP bit is “0”, the program operation has completed.
If more than 256 bytes data are sent to a device, the address counter rolls over within the same page, the
previously latched data are discarded, and the last 256 bytes are kept to be programmed into the page. The
starting byte can be anywhere within the page. When the end of the page is reached, the address will wrap
around to the beginning of the same page. If the data to be programmed are less than a full page, the data of all
other bytes on the same page will remain unchanged.
Note: A program operation can alter “1”s into “0”s, but an erase operation is required to change “0”s back to “1”s. A
byte cannot be reprogrammed without first erasing the whole sector or block.

8.11 QUAD INPUT PAGE PROGRAM OPERATION (PPQ, 32h/38h or 4PPQ, 34h/3Eh)
The Quad Input Page Program instruction allows up to 256 bytes data to be programmed into memory in a single
operation with four pins (IO0, IO1, IO2 and IO3). The destination of the memory to be programmed must be
outside the protected memory area set by the Block Protection (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits or ASP. A Quad Input
Page Program instruction which attempts to program into a page that is write-protected will be ignored. Before
the execution of Quad Input Page Program instruction, the QE bit in the Status Register must be set to “1” and
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be enabled through a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
 32h/38h (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 32h/38h (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 34h/3Eh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The Quad Input Page Program instruction code, three or four address bytes as above and program data (1 to 256
bytes) are input via the four pins (IO0, IO1, IO2 and IO3). Program operation will start immediately after the CE#
is brought high, otherwise the Quad Input Page Program instruction will not be executed. The internal control
logic automatically handles the programming voltages and timing. During a program operation, all instructions will
be ignored except the RDSR instruction. The progress or completion of the program operation can be determined
by reading the WIP bit. If the WIP bit is “1”, the program operation is still in progress. If WIP bit is “0”, the program
operation has completed.
If more than 256 bytes data are sent to a device, the address counter rolls over within the same page, the
previously latched data are discarded, and the last 256 bytes data are kept to be programmed into the page. The
starting byte can be anywhere within the page. When the end of the page is reached, the address will wrap
around to the beginning of the same page. If the data to be programmed are less than a full page, the data of all
other bytes on the same page will remain unchanged.
Note: A program operation can alter “1”s into “0”s, but an erase operation is required to change “0”s back to “1”s. A
byte cannot be reprogrammed without first erasing the whole sector or block.

8.12 ERASE OPERATION
The memory array of the device is organized into uniform 4 Kbyte sectors or 32/64 Kbyte uniform blocks (a block
consists of eight/sixteen adjacent sectors respectively).
Before a byte is reprogrammed, the sector or block that contains the byte must be erased (erasing sets bits to
“1”). In order to erase the device, there are three erase instructions available: Sector Erase (SER), Block Erase
(BER), and Chip Erase (CER). A sector erase operation allows any individual sector to be erased without
affecting the data in other sectors. A block erase operation erases any individual block. A chip erase operation
erases the whole memory array of a device. A sector erase, block erase, or chip erase operation can be executed
prior to any programming operation.

8.13 SECTOR ERASE OPERATION (SER, D7h/20h or 4SER, 21h)
A Sector Erase (SER/4SER) instruction erases a 4 Kbyte sector before the execution of a SER/4SER instruction,
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be set via a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. The WEL bit is automatically
reset after the completion of Sector Erase operation.
 D7h/20h (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 D7h/20h (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 21h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
A SER/4SER instruction is entered, after CE# is pulled low to select the device and stays low during the entire
instruction sequence The SER/4SER instruction code, and three or four address bytes as above are input via SI.
Erase operation will start immediately after CE# is pulled high. The internal control logic automatically handles the
erase voltage and timing.
During an erase operation, all instruction will be ignored except Read Status Register, Read Extended Read
Register, Erase/Program Suspend, and Software/Hardware Reset instructions. The progress or completion of the
erase operation can be determined by reading the WIP bit. If the WIP bit is “1”, the erase operation is still in
progress. If the WIP bit is “0”, the erase operation has been completed.

The Enter Quad I/O (QIOEN) instruction, 35h, enables the Flash device for QPI bus operation. Upon completion
of the instruction, all instructions thereafter will be 4-bit multiplexed input/output until a power cycle or an Exit
Quad I/O instruction is sent to device.
The Exit Quad I/O instruction, F5h, resets the device to 1-bit SPI protocol operation. To execute an Exit Quad I/O
operation, the host drives CE# low, sends the Exit Quad I/O command cycle, then drives CE# high. The device
just accepts QPI (2 clocks) command cycles.

Resume to another suspend timing: 400µs
PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND DURING SECTOR-ERASE OR BLOCK-ERASE (PERSUS 75h/B0h)
The Program/Erase Suspend allows the interruption of Sector Erase and Block Erase operations. After the
Program/Erase Suspend, program, read related, resume and reset commands can be accepted. It is possible to
nest a Program/Erase Suspend operation during a Program inside a Program/Erase Suspend operation. Refer to
Table 8.7 for more detail.
To execute the Program/Erase Suspend operation, the host drives CE# low, sends the Program/Erase Suspend
command cycle (75h/B0h), then drives CE# high. The Function Register indicates that the Erase has been
suspended by changing the ESUS bit from “0” to “1”, but the device will not accept another command until it is
ready. To determine when the device will accept a new command, poll the WIP bit or wait the specified time tSUS.
When ESUS bit is issued, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit will be reset.
PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND DURING PAGE PROGRAMMING (PERSUS 75h/B0h)
The Program/Erase Suspend allows the interruption of all array Program operations. After the Program/Erase
Suspend command, WEL bit will be disabled, therefore only read related, resume and reset commands can be
accepted. Refer to Table 8.7 for more detail.
To execute the Program/Erase Suspend operation, the host drives CE# low, sends the Program/Erase Suspend
command cycle (75h/B0h), then drives CE# high. The Function Register indicates that the programming has
been suspended by changing the PSUS bit from “0” to “1”, but the device will not accept another command until it
is ready. To determine when the device will accept a new command, poll the WIP bit or wait the specified time
tSUS.
PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME (PERRSM 7Ah/30h)
The Program/Erase Resume restarts the Program or Erase command that was suspended, and changes the
suspend status bit in the Function Register (ESUS or PSUS bits) back to “0”. To execute the Program/Erase
Resume operation, the host drives CE# low, sends the Program/Erase Resume command cycle (7Ah/30h), then
drives CE# high. A cycle is two nibbles long, most significant nibble first. To determine if the internal, self-timed
Write operation completed, poll the WIP bit, or wait the specified time t SE, tBE or tPP for Sector Erase, Block Erase,
or Page Programming, respectively. The total write time before suspend and after resume will not exceed the
uninterrupted write times tSE, tBE or tPP.

8.24 ENTER DEEP POWER DOWN (DP, B9h)
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is for setting the device on the minimizing the power consumption (enter
into Power-down mode). During this mode, standby current is reduced from I sb1 to Isb2. While in the Power-down
mode, the device is not active and all Write/Program/Erase instructions are ignored. The instruction is initiated by
driving the CE# pin low and shifting the instruction code into the device. The CE# pin must be driven high after
the instruction has been latched, or Power-down mode will not engage. Once CE# pin driven high, the Powerdown mode will be entered within the time duration of t DP. While in the Power-down mode only the Release from
Power-down/RDID instruction, which restores the device to normal operation, will be recognized. All other
instructions are ignored, including the Read Status Register instruction which is always available during normal
operation. Ignoring all but one instruction makes the Power Down state a useful condition for securing maximum
write protection. It is available in both SPI and QPI mode.

8.25 RELEASE DEEP POWER DOWN (RDPD, ABh)
The Release Deep Power-down/Read Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose command. To release the device
from the deep power-down mode, the instruction is issued by driving the CE# pin low, shifting the instruction code
into the device and driving CE# high.
Releasing the device from Power-down mode will take the time duration of tRES1 before normal operation is
restored and other instructions are accepted. The CE# pin must remain high during the t RES1 time duration. If the
Release Deep Power-down/RDID instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress
(WIP=1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

8.26 SET READ PARAMETERS OPERATION (SRPNV: 65h, SRPV: C0h/63h)
Set Read Parameter Bits
This device supports configurable burst length and dummy cycles in both SPI and QPI mode by setting three bits
(P2, P1, P0) and four bits (P6, P5, P4, P3) within the Read Register, respectively. To set those bits the SRPNV
and SRPV operation instruction are used. Details regarding burst length and dummy cycles can be found in Table
6.9, Table 6.10, and Table 6.11. HOLD#/RESET# pin selection (P7) bit in the Read Register can be set with the
SRPNV and SRPV operation as well, in order to select RESET# pin instead of HOLD# pin. For 16-pin SOIC,
RESET# pin will be a separate pin and it is independent of the P7 bit setting in Read Register.
SRPNV is used to set the non-volatile Read Register, while SRPV is used to set the volatile Read Register.
Note: When SRPNV is executed, the volatile Read Register is set as well as the non-volatile Read Register.

Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around”
The device is capable of burst read with wrap around in both SPI and QPI mode. The size of burst length is
configurable by using P0, P1, and P2 bits in Read Register. P2 bit (Wrap enable) enables the burst mode feature.
P0 and P1 define the size of burst. Burst lengths of 8, 16, 32, and 64 bytes are supported. By default, address
increases by one up through the entire array. By setting the burst length, the data being accessed can be limited
to the length of burst boundary within a 256 byte page. The first output will be the data at the initial address which
is specified in the instruction. Following data will come out from the next address within the burst boundary. Once
the address reaches the end of boundary, it will automatically move to the first address of the boundary. CE# high
will terminate the command.
For example, if burst length of 8 and initial address being applied is 0h, following byte output will be from address
00h and continue to 01h,..,07h, 00h, 01h… until CE# terminates the operation. If burst length of 8 and initial
address being applied is FEh(254d), following byte output will be from address FEh and continue to FFh, F8h,
F9h, FAh, FBh, FCh, FDh, and repeat from FEh until CE# terminates the operation.
The commands, “SRPV (65h) or SRPNV (C0h or 63h)”, are used to configure the burst length. If the following
data input is one of “00h”,”01h”,”02h”, and ”03h”, the device will be in default operation mode. It will be continuous
burst read of the whole array. If the following data input is one of “04h”,”05h”,”06h”, and ”07h”, the device will set
the burst length as 8,16,32 and 64, respectively.
To exit the burst mode, another “C0h or 63h” command is necessary to set P2 to 0. Otherwise, the burst mode
will be retained until either power down or reset operation. To change burst length, another “C0h or 63h”
command should be executed to set P0 and P1 (Detailed information in Table 6.9 Burst Length Data). All read
commands will operate in burst mode once the Read Register is set to enable burst mode.
Refer to Figure 8.59 and Figure 8.60 for instruction sequence.

8.27 SET EXTENDED READ PARAMETERS OPERATION (SERPNV: 85h, SERPV: 83h)
Set Read Operational Driver Strength
This device supports configurable Operational Driver Strength in both SPI and QPI modes by setting three bits
(ODS0, ODS1, ODS2) within the Extended Read Register. To set the ODS bits the SERPNV and SERPV
operation instructions are required. The device’s driver strength can be reduced as low as 12.50% of full drive
strength. Details regarding the driver strength can be found in Table 6.14.
SERPNV is used to set the non-volatile Extended Read register, while SERPV is used to set the volatile
Extended Read register.
Notes:
1. The default driver strength is set to 50%.
2. When SERPNV is executed, the volatile Read Extended Register is set as well as the non-volatile Read Extended
Register.

8.31 READ PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION (RDID, ABh)
The Release from Power-down/Read Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. It can support both SPI
and QPI modes. The Read Product Identification (RDID) instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit
Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as the table of Product Identification.
The RDID instruction code is followed by three dummy bytes, each bit being latched-in on SI during the rising
SCK edge. Then the Device ID is shifted out on SO with the MSB first, each bit been shifted out during the falling
edge of SCK. The RDID instruction is ended by driving CE# high. The Device ID (ID7-ID0) outputs repeatedly if
additional clock cycles are continuously sent to SCK while CE# is at low.

The JEDEC ID READ instruction allows the user to read the manufacturer and product ID of devices. Refer to
Table 8.8 Product Identification for Manufacturer ID and Device ID. After the JEDEC ID READ command (9Fh in
SPI mode, AFh in QPI mode) is input, the Manufacturer ID is shifted out MSB first followed by the 2-byte
electronic ID (ID15-ID0) that indicates Memory Type and Capacity, one bit at a time. Each bit is shifted out during
the falling edge of SCK. If CE# stays low after the last bit of the 2-byte electronic ID, the Manufacturer ID and 2byte electronic ID will loop until CE# is pulled high.

The Read Device Manufacturer and Device ID (RDMDID) instruction allows the user to read the Manufacturer
and product ID of devices. Refer to Table 8.8 Product Identification for Manufacturer ID and Device ID. The
RDMDID instruction code is followed by two dummy bytes and one byte address (A7~A0), each bit being latchedin on SI during the rising edge of SCK. If one byte address is initially set as A0 = 0, then the Manufacturer ID is
shifted out on SO with the MSB first followed by the device ID (ID7- ID0). Each bit is shifted out during the falling
edge of SCK. If one byte address is initially set as A0 = 1, then Device ID7-ID0 will be read first followed by the
Manufacturer ID. The Manufacturer and Device ID can be read continuously alternating between the two until
CE# is driven high.

8.34 READ UNIQUE ID NUMBER (RDUID, 4Bh)
The Read Unique ID Number (RDUID) instruction accesses a factory-set read-only 16-byte number that is unique
to the device. The ID number can be used in conjunction with user software methods to help prevent copying or
cloning of a system. The RDUID instruction is instated by driving the CE# pin low and shifting the instruction code

8.35 READ SFDP OPERATION (RDSFDP, 5Ah)
The Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) standard provides a consistent method of describing the
functions and features of serial Flash devices in a standard set of internal parameter tables. These parameters
can be interrogated by host system software to enable adjustments needed to accommodate divergent features
from multiple vendors. For more details please refer to the JEDEC Standard JESD216A (Serial Flash
Discoverable Parameters).
The sequence of issuing RDSFDP instruction is same as FAST_READ: CE# goes low  Send RDSFDP
instruction (5Ah)  Send 3 address bytes on SI pin  Send dummy cycles (configurable, default is 8 clocks) on
SI pin  Read SFDP code on SO  End RDSFDP operation by driving CE# high at any time during data out.
Refer to ISSI’s Application note for SFDP table. The data at the addresses that are not specified in SFDP table
are undefined.
The sequence of RDSFDP instruction is same as FAST READ except for the instruction code. RDSFDP QPI
sequence is also same as FAST READ QPI except for the instruction code. Refer to the FAST READ QPI
operation.

8.36 NO OPERATION (NOP, 00h)
The No Operation command solely cancels a Reset Enable command and has no impact on any other
commands. It is available in both SPI and QPI modes. To execute a NOP, the host drives CE# low, sends the
NOP command cycle (00H), then drives CE# high.

8.37 SOFTWARE RESET (RESET-ENABLE (RSTEN, 66h) AND RESET (RST, 99h)) AND HARDWARE RESET
The Software Reset operation is used as a system reset that puts the device in normal operating mode. During
the Reset operation, the value of volatile registers will default back to the value in the corresponding non-volatile
register. However, the volatile FREEZE bit and the volatile PPB Lock bit in the PPB Lock Register are not
changed by Software Reset. In all other respects, Software Reset is the same as Hardware Reset. This operation
consists of two commands: Reset-Enable (RSTEN) and Reset (RST). The operation requires the Reset-Enable
command followed by the Reset command. Any command other than the Reset command after the Reset-Enable
command will disable the Reset-Enable.
Execute the CE# pin low  sends the Reset-Enable command (66h), and drives CE# high. Next, the host drives
CE# low again, sends the Reset command (99h), and pulls CE# high.
Only if the RESET# pin is enabled, Hardware Reset function is available. For all other packages except the
package with additional RESET# pin option, the RESET# pin will be solely applicable in SPI mode and when the
QE bit is disabled. For the package with additional RESET# pin which is enabled by the RESET# Enable/Disable
bit setting (“0” indicates Enable) in Function Register, the RESET# pin is always applicable regardless of the QE
bit value in Status Register and HOLD#/RESET# selection bit (P7) in Read Register. The additional RESET# pin
has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left floating if not used. The RESET# pin has the highest priority
among all the input signals and will reset the device to its initial power-on state regardless of the state of all other
pins (CE#, IOs, SCK, and WP#).
In order to activate Hardware Reset, the RESET# pin must be driven low for a minimum period of t RESET (1µs).
Drive RESET# low for a minimum period of tRESET will interrupt any on-going internal and external operations,
release the device from deep power down mode1, disable all input signals, force the output pin enter a state of
high impedance, and reset all the read parameters. If the RESET# pulse is driven for a period shorter than 1µs, it
may still reset the device, however the 1µs minimum period is recommended to ensure the reliable operation.
The required wait time after activating a HW Reset before the device will accept another instruction (tHWRST) is the
same as the maximum value of tSUS (100µs).
The Software/Hardware Reset during an active Program or Erase operation aborts the operation, which can
result in corrupting or losing the data of the targeted address range. Depending on the prior operation, the reset
timing may vary. Recovery from a Write operation will require more latency than recovery from other operations.
Note1: The Status and Function Registers remain unaffected.

Information Row Erase (IRER) instruction erases the data in the Information Row x (x: 0~3) array. Prior to the
operation, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be set via a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. The WEL bit is
automatically reset after the completion of the operation.
The sequence of IRER operation: Pull CE# low to select the device  Send IRER instruction code  Send three
address bytes  Pull CE# high. CE# should remain low during the entire instruction sequence. Once CE# is
pulled high, Erase operation will begin immediately. The internal control logic automatically handles the erase
voltage and timing.

8.40 INFORMATION ROW PROGRAM OPERATION (IRP, 62h)
The Information Row Program (IRP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes data to be programmed into the memory in
a single operation. Before the execution of IRP instruction, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be enabled
through a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
The IRP instruction code, three address bytes and program data (1 to 256 bytes) should be sequentially input.
Three address bytes has to be input as specified in the Table 8.10 Information Row Valid Address Range.
Program operation will start once the CE# goes high, otherwise the IRP instruction will not be executed. The
internal control logic automatically handles the programming voltages and timing. During a program operation, all
instructions will be ignored except the RDSR instruction. The progress or completion of the program operation
can be determined by reading the WIP bit. If the WIP bit is “1”, the program operation is still in progress. If WIP bit
is “0”, the program operation has completed.
If more than 256 bytes data are sent to a device, the address counter rolls over within the same page. The
previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 bytes data are kept to be programmed into the page. The
starting byte can be anywhere within the page. When the end of the page is reached, the address will wrap
around to the beginning of the same page. If the data to be programmed are less than a full page, the data of all
other bytes on the same page will remain unchanged.
Note: A program operation can alter “1”s into “0”s, but an erase operation is required to change “0”s back to “1”s. A
byte cannot be reprogrammed without first erasing the corresponding Information Row array which is one of
IR0~3.

8.41 INFORMATION ROW READ OPERATION (IRRD, 68h)
The IRRD instruction is used to read memory data at up to a 166MHz clock.
The IRRD instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) and dummy cycles (configurable, default
is 8 clocks), transmitted via the SI line, with each bit latched-in during the rising edge of SCK. Then the first data
byte addressed is shifted out on the SO line, with each bit shifted out at a maximum frequency f CT, during the
falling edge of SCK.
The address is automatically incremented by one after each byte of data is shifted out. Once the address reaches
the last address of each 256 byte Information Row, the next address will not be valid and the data of the address
will be garbage data. It is recommended to repeat four times IRRD operation that reads 256 byte with a valid
starting address of each Information Row in order to read all data in the 4 x 256 byte Information Row array. The
IRRD instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If an IRRD instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (WIP=1) the instruction is
ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle
The sequence of IRRD instruction is same as Fast Read except for the instruction code. IRRD QPI sequence is
same as Fast Read QPI except for the instruction code. Refer to the Fast Read QPI operation.

8.42 FAST READ DTR MODE OPERATION (FRDTR, 0Dh or 4FRDTR, 0Eh)
The FRDTR/4FRDTR instruction is for doubling the data in and out. Signals are triggered on both rising and
falling edge of clock. The address is latched on both rising and falling edge of SCK, and data of each bit shifts out
on both rising and falling edge of SCK at a maximum frequency fC2. The 2-bit address can be latched-in at one
clock, and 2-bit data can be read out at one clock, which means one bit at the rising edge of clock, the other bit at
the falling edge of clock.
The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the next higher address
after each byte of data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out in a single FRDTR/4FRDTR
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address is reached.
 0Dh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 0Dh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 0Eh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The sequence of issuing FRDTR/4FRDTR instruction is: CE# goes low  Sending FRDTR/4FRDTR instruction
code (1bit per clock)  3-byte or 4-byte address on SI (2-bit per clock) as above  8 dummy clocks
(configurable, default is 8 clocks) on SI  Data out on SO (2-bit per clock)  End FRDTR/4FRDTR operation via
driving CE# high at any time during data out.
While a Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, FRDTR/4FRDTR instruction will be rejected
without any effect on the current cycle.

FAST READ DTR QPI MODE OPERATION (FRDTR QPI, 0Dh or 4FRDTR QPI, 0Eh)
The FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI instruction utilizes all four IO lines to input the instruction code so that only two clocks
are required, while the FRDTR/4FRDTR instruction requires that the byte-long instruction code is shifted into the
device only via IO0 (SI) line in eight clocks. In addition, subsequent address and data out are shifted in/out via all
four IO lines unlike the FRDTR/4FRDTR instruction. Eventually this operation is same as the
FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI, but the only different thing is that AX mode is not available in the FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI
operation. A Quad Enable (QE) bit of Status Register must be set to "1" before sending the FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI
instruction.
 0Dh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 0Dh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 0Eh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The sequence of issuing FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI instruction is: CE# goes low  Sending FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI
instruction (4-bit per clock)  24-bit or 32-bit address interleave on IO3, IO2, IO1 & IO0 (8-bit per clock) as above
 6 dummy clocks (configurable, default is 6 clocks)  Data out interleave on IO3, IO2, IO1 & IO0 (8-bit per
clock)  End FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI operation by driving CE# high at any time during data out.
If the FRDTR/4FRDTR QPI instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process is in
progress (WIP=1), the instruction will be rejected without any effect on the current cycle.

8.43 FAST READ DUAL IO DTR MODE OPERATION (FRDDTR, BDh or 4FRDDTR, BEh)
The FRDDTR/4FRDDTR instruction enables Double Transfer Rate throughput on dual I/O of the device in read
mode. The address (interleave on dual I/O pins) is latched on both rising and falling edge of SCK, and the data
(interleave on dual I/O pins) shift out on both rising and falling edge of SCK at a maximum frequency f T2. The 4-bit
address can be latched-in at one clock, and 4-bit data can be read out at one clock, which means two bits at the
rising edge of clock, the other two bits at the falling edge of clock.
The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the next higher address
after each byte of data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out with a single FRDDTR/4FRDDTR
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address is reached. Once writing
FRDDTR/4FRDDTR instruction, the following address/dummy/data out will perform as 4-bit instead of previous 1bit.
 BDh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 BDh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 BEh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The sequence of issuing FRDDTR/4FRDDTR instruction is: CE# goes low  Sending FRDDTR/4FRDDTR
instruction (1-bit per clock)  24-bit or 32-bit address interleave on IO1 & IO0 (4-bit per clock) as above  4
dummy clocks (configurable, default is 4 clocks) on IO1 & IO0  Data out interleave on IO1 & IO0 (4-bit per clock)
 End FRDDTR/4FRDDTR operation via pulling CE# high at any time during data out (Please refer to Figures
8.86 and 8.87 for 2 x I/O Double Transfer Rate Read Mode Timing Waveform).
If AXh (where X is don’t care) is input for the mode bits during dummy cycles, the device will enter AX read
operation mode which enables subsequent FRDDTR/4FRDDTR execution skips command code. It saves cycles
as described in Figures 8.88 and 8.89. When the code is different from AXh (where X is don’t care), the device
exits the AX read operation. After finishing the read operation, device becomes ready to receive a new command.
If the FRDDTR/4FRDDTR instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process is in progress
(WIP=1), the instruction will be rejected without any effect on the current cycle.

8.44 FAST READ QUAD IO DTR MODE OPERATION (FRQDTR, EDh or 4FRQDTR, EEh)
The FRQDTR/4FRQDTR instruction enables Double Transfer Rate throughput on quad I/O of the device in read
mode. A Quad Enable (QE) bit of Status Register must be set to "1" before sending the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR
instruction. The address (interleave on 4 I/O pins) is latched on both rising and falling edge of SCK, and data
(interleave on 4 I/O pins) shift out on both rising and falling edge of SCK at a maximum frequency f Q2. The 8-bit
address can be latched-in at one clock, and 8-bit data can be read out at one clock, which means four bits at the
rising edge of clock, the other four bits at the falling edge of clock.
The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the next higher address
after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out with a single FRQDTR/4FRQDTR
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address is reached. Once writing
FRQDTR/4FRQDTR instruction, the following address/dummy/data out will perform as 8-bit instead of previous 1bit.
 EDh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 EDh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 EEh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The sequence of issuing FRQDTR/4FRQDTR instruction is: CE# goes low  Sending FRQDTR/4FRQDTR
instruction (1-bit per clock)  24-bit or 32-bit address interleave on IO3, IO2, IO1 & IO0 (8-bit per clock) as above
 6 dummy clocks (configurable, default is 6 clocks)  Data out interleave on IO3, IO2, IO1 & IO0 (8-bit per
clock)  End FRQDTR/4FRQDTR operation by driving CE# high at any time during data out.
If AXh (where X is don’t care) is input for the mode bits during dummy cycles, the device will enter AX read
operation mode which enables subsequent FRQDTR/4FRQDTR execution skips command code. It saves cycles
as described in Figures 8.92 and 8.93. When the code is different from AXh (where X is don’t care), the device
exits the AX read operation. After finishing the read operation, device becomes ready to receive a new command.
If the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process is in
progress (WIP=1), the instruction will be rejected without any effect on the current cycle.

FAST READ QUAD IO DTR QPI MODE OPERATION (FRQDTR QPI, EDh OR 4FRQDTR QPI, EEh)
The FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI instruction utilizes all four IO lines to input the instruction code so that only two
clocks are required, while the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR instruction requires that the byte-long instruction code is
shifted into the device only via IO0 line in eight clocks. As a result, 6 command cycles will be reduced by the
FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI instruction. In addition, subsequent address and data out are shifted in/out via all four
IO lines like the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR instruction. In fact, except for the command cycle, the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR
QPI operation is exactly same as the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR. A Quad Enable (QE) bit of Status Register must be
set to "1" before sending the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI instruction.
 EDh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 EDh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 EEh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The sequence of issuing FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI instruction is: CE# goes low  Sending FRQDTR/4FRQDTR
QPI instruction (4-bit per clock)  24-bit or 32-bit address interleave on IO3, IO2, IO1 & IO0 (8-bit per clock) as
above  6 dummy clocks (configurable, default is 6 clocks)  Data out interleave on IO3, IO2, IO1 & IO0 (8-bit
per clock)  End FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI operation by driving CE# high at any time during data out.
If AXh (where X is don’t care) is input for the mode bits during dummy cycles, the device will enter AX read
operation mode which enables subsequent FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI execution skips command code. It saves
cycles as described in Figures 8.92 and 8.93. When the code is different from AXh (where X is don’t care), the
device exits the AX read operation. After finishing the read operation, device becomes ready to receive a new
command.
If the FRQDTR/4FRQDTR QPI instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process is in
progress (WIP=1), the instruction will be rejected without any effect on the current cycle.

SECTOR UNLOCK OPERATION (SECUNLOCK, 26h or 4SECUNLOCK, 25h)
The Sector Unlock command allows the user to select a specific sector to allow program and erase operations.
This instruction is effective when the blocks are designated as write-protected through the BP0-BP3 bits in the
Status Register and TBS bit in the Function Register. Only one sector can be enabled at any time. To enable a
different sector, a previously enabled sector must be disabled by executing a Sector Lock command.
 26h (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 26h (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 25h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The instruction code is followed by a 24-bit or 32-bit address specifying the target sector as above, but A0
through A11 are not decoded. The remaining sectors within the same block remain as read-only.

8.46 AUTOBOOT
SPI devices normally require 32 or more cycles of command and address shifting to initiate a read command.
And, in order to read boot code from an SPI device, the host memory controller or processor must supply the
read command from a hardwired state machine or from some host processor internal ROM code.
Parallel NOR devices need only an initial address, supplied in parallel in a single cycle, and initial access time to
start reading boot code.
The AutoBoot feature allows the host memory controller to take boot code from the device immediately after the
end of reset, without having to send a read command. This saves 32 or more cycles and simplifies the logic
needed to initiate the reading of boot code.
 As part of the Power-up Reset, Hardware Reset, or Software Reset process the AutoBoot feature
automatically starts a read access from a pre-specified address. At the time the reset process is completed,
the device is ready to deliver code from the starting address. The host memory controller only needs to drive
CE# signal from high to low and begin toggling the SCK signal. The device will delay code output for a prespecified number of clock cycles before code streams out.
– The Auto Boot Start Delay (ABSD) field of the AutoBoot register specifies the initial delay if any is needed
by the host.
– The host cannot send commands during this time.
– If QE bit (Bit 6) in the Status Register is set to “1”, Fast Read Quad I/O operation will be selected and initial
delay is the same as dummy cycles of Fast Read Quad I/O Read operation. If it is set to “0”, Fast Read
operation will be applied and initial delay is the same as dummy cycles of Fast Read operation. Maximum
operation frequency will be 166MHz for both operations.
 The starting address of the boot code is selected by the value programmed into the AutoBoot Start Address
(ABSA) field of the AutoBoot Register.
– Data will continuously shift out until CE# returns high.
 At any point after the first data byte is transferred, when CE# returns high, the SPI device will reset to standard
SPI mode; able to accept normal command operations.
– A minimum of one byte must be transferred.
– AutoBoot mode will not initiate again until another power cycle or a reset occurs.
 An AutoBoot Enable bit (ABE) is set to enable the AutoBoot feature.
The AutoBoot register bits are non-volatile and provide:
 The starting address set by the AutoBoot Start Address (ABSA).
 The number of initial delay cycles, set by the AutoBoot Start Delay (ABSD) 4-bit count value.

AUTOBOOT REGISTER READ OPERATION (RDABR, 14h)
The AutoBoot Register Read command is shifted in. Then the 32bit AutoBoot Register is shifted out, least
significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. It is possible to read the AutoBoot Register
continuously by providing multiples of 32bits.

AUTOBOOT REGISTER WRITE OPERATION (WRABR, 15h)
Before the WRABR command can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded
by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The WRABR command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data bytes, least significant byte first, most
significant bit of each byte first. The WRABR data is 32bits in length.
CE# must be driven high after the 32nd bit of data has been latched. If not, the WRABR command is not
executed. As soon as CE# is driven high, the WRABR operation is initiated. While the WRABR operation is in
progress, Status Register or Extended Read Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress
(WIP) bit. The WIP bit is “1” during the WRABR operation, and is “0” when it is completed. When the WRABR
cycle is completed, the WEL is set to “0”.

8.47 READ BANK ADDRESS REGISTER OPERATION (RDBR: 16h/C8h)
The Read Bank Address Register (RDBR) instruction allows the Bank Address Register contents to be read.
RDBR is used to read only a volatile Bank Address Register.
The instruction code is first shifted in. Then the 8-bit Bank Register is shifted out. It is possible to read the Bank
Address Register continuously by providing multiples of eight bits. The maximum operating clock frequency for
the RDBR command is 166MHz.
Data is shifted in from SI and data is shifted out from SO in SPI sequence whereas data in and out is via four pins
(IO0-IO3) in QPI sequence.

8.48 WRITE BANK ADDRESS REGISTER OPERATION (WRBRNV: 18h, WRBRV: 17h/C5h)
The Write Bank Address Register (WRBRNV and WRBRV) instruction is used to write address bits above A23,
into the Bank Address Register (BAR). WRBRNV is used to write the non-volatile Bank Address Register and
WRBRV is used to write the volatile Bank Address Register. The instruction is also used to write the Extended
Address Control bit (EXTADD) that is also in BAR[7]. BAR provides the high order addresses needed by devices
having more than 128Mbits (16Mbytes), when using 3-byte address commands without extended addressing
enabled (BAR[7] EXTADD = 0).
WRBRNV requires the Write Enable (WREN) command to precede it while WRBRV does not require WREN
command.
The WRBRNV/WRBRV instruction is entered, followed by the data byte. The Bank Address Register is one data
byte in length. The WRBRNV/WRBRV command has no effect on the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. Any bank
address bit reserved for the future should always be written as “0”. Data is shifted in from SI and in SPI whereas
data is shifted in via four pins (IO0-IO3) in QPI.
Note: When WRBRNV is executed, the volatile Bank Address Register is set as well as the non-volatile Bank Address
Register.

The Enter 4-byte Address Mode instruction allows 32bit address (A31-A0) to be used to access the memory array
beyond 128Mb. To execute EN4B operation, the host drives CE# low, sends the instruction code and then drives
CE# high. The Exit 4-byte Address Mode instruction can be used to exit the 4-byte address mode.
Note: The EN4B instruction will set the Bit 7 (EXTADD) of the volatile Bank Address Register to “1”, but will not
change the non-volatile Bank Address Register.

be used to access the memory array up to 128Mb. The Bank Address Register must be used to access the
memory array beyond 128Mb. To execute EX4B operation, the host drives CE# low, sends the instruction code
and then drives CE# high.
Note: The EX4B instruction will reset the Bit 7 (EXTADD) of the volatile Bank Address Register to “0” ”, but will not
change the non-volatile Bank Address Register.

FAh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
 FAh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
 E0h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The instruction is used to read Dynamic Protection Bit (DYB) status of the given sector/block. The instruction
code is entered first, followed by the 24-bit or 32-bit address selecting location zero within the desired
sector/block as above. Then the 8-bit DYB access register contents are shifted out. Each bit (SPI) or four bits
(QPI) are shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible to read the same
DYB access register continuously by providing multiples of eight bits. The address of the DYB register does not
increment so this is not a means to read the entire DYB array. Each location must be read with a separate Read
DYB instruction. The maximum operating clock frequency for READ command is 166MHz.
Note: The high order address bits not used by 256M/128M must be zero. Data must be either 00h (protected) or FFh
(unprotected).

8.54 PROGRAM PPB OPERATION (PGPPB, FDh or 4PGPPB, E3h)
Before the Program PPB (PGPPB/4PGPPB) command is sent, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be
issued. After the WREN command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the
Status Register.
FDh (EXTADD=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
FDh (EXTADD=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
E3h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The PGPPB/4PGPPB command is entered by driving CE# low, followed by the instruction code, followed by the
24-bit or 32-bit address selecting location zero within the desired sector/block as above.
The PGPPB/4PGPPB command affects the WIP bit in the same manner as any other programming operation.
CE# must be driven high after the last bit of address has been latched in. As soon as CE# is driven high, the
PGPPB/4PGPPB operation is initiated. While the PGPPB/4PGPPB operation is in progress, the Status Register
or Extended Read Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The WIP bit is “1”
during the PGPPB/4PGPPB operation, and is “0” when it is completed. When the PGPPB/4PGPPB operation is
completed, the WEL is set to “0”.
Note: The high order address bits not used by 256M/128M must be zero. Data must be either 00h (protected) or FFh
(unprotected).

8.55 ERASE PPB OPERATION (ERPPB, E4h)
The Erase PPB (ERPPB) command sets all PPB bits to “1”. Before the ERPPB command can be accepted by the
device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The instruction code is shifted in by the rising edges of the SCK signal. CE# must be driven high after the eighth
bit of the instruction byte has been latched in. This will initiate the beginning of internal erase cycle, which
involves the pre-programming and erase of the entire PPB memory array. Without CE# being driven high after
the eighth bit of the instruction, the PPB erase operation will not be executed.
With the internal erase cycle in progress, the user can read the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit to check if
the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate “1” when the erase cycle is in progress and “0” when
the erase cycle has been completed. When the ERPPB operation is completed, the WEL is set to “0”. Erase
suspend is not allowed during PPB Erase.

8.56 READ ASP OPERATION (RDASP, 2Bh)
The RDASP instruction code is shifted in by the rising edge of the SCK signal. Then the 16-bit ASP register
contents is shifted out, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. Each bit is shifted out at
the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible to read the ASP register continuously by
providing multiples of 16 bits. The maximum operating clock frequency for the RDASP command is 166MHz.

8.57 PROGRAM ASP OPERATION (PGASP, 2Fh)
Before the Program ASP (PGASP) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command
must be issued. After the WREN command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The PGASP command is entered by driving CE# low, followed by the instruction code and two data bytes, least
significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The ASP Register is two data bytes in length. The
PGASP command affects the Write In Progress (WIP) bit in the same manner as any other programming
operation.
CE# input must be driven high after the sixteenth bit of data has been latched in. If not, the PGASP command is
not executed. As soon as CE# is driven high, the PGASP operation is initiated. While the PGASP operation is in
progress, the Status Register or the Extended Read Register may be read to check the value of WIP bit. The WIP
bit is “1” during the PGASP operation, and is “0” when it is completed. When the PGASP operation is completed,
the WEL is set to “0”.

The Read PPB Lock Bit (RDPLB) command allows the PPB Lock Register contents to be read. It is possible to
read the PPB Lock Register continuously by providing multiples of eight bits. The PPB Lock Register contents
may only be read when the device is in standby state with no other operation in progress. It is recommended to
check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before issuing a new command to the device.

8.59 WRITE PPB LOCK BIT OPERATION (WRPLB, A6h)
The Write PPB Lock Bit (WRPLB) command clears the PPB Lock (PPBLK) bit to zero. Before the WRPLB
command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the
device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The WRPLB command is entered by driving CE# low, followed by the instruction code. CE# must be driven high
after the eighth bit of instruction has been latched in. If not, the WRPLB command is not executed. As soon as
CE# is driven high, the WRPLB operation is initiated. While the WRPLB operation is in progress, the Status
Register or Extended Read Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The
WIP bit is “1” during the WRPLB operation, and is “0” when it is completed. When the WRPLB operation is
completed, the WEL is set to “0”. The maximum clock frequency for the WRPLB command is 166MHz.

The Set FREEZE Bit (SFRZ) command sets FREEZE (PPB Lock Register bit7) to one. Please refer to the section
6.6.3 PPB Lock Register for more detail. Before the SFRZ command can be accepted by the device, a Write
Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The SFRZ command is entered by driving CE# low, followed by the instruction code. CE# must be driven high
after the eighth bit of instruction has been latched in. If not, the SFRZ command is not executed. As soon as CE#
is driven high, the SFRZ operation is initiated. While the SFRZ operation is in progress, the Status Register or
Extended Read Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The WIP bit is “1”
during the SFRZ operation, and is “0” when it is completed. When the SFRZ operation is completed, the WEL is
set to “0”. The maximum clock frequency for the SFRZ command is 166MHz.

The correct password value may be read only after it is programmed and before the Password Mode has been
selected by programming the Password Protection Mode bit to “0” in the ASP Register (ASP[2]). After the
Password Protection Mode is selected the RDPWD command is ignored.
The RDPWD command is shifted in. Then the 64-bit Password is shifted out, least significant byte first, most
significant bit of each byte first. Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.
It is possible to read the Password continuously by providing multiples of 64bits. The maximum operating clock
frequency for the RDPWD command is 166MHz.

Protection Mode is selected the PGPWD command is ignored.
The PGPWD command is entered by driving CE# low, followed by the instruction code and the password data
bytes, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The password is 64bits in length.
CE# must be driven high after the 64th bit of data has been latched. If not, the PGPWD command is not executed.
As soon as CE# is driven high, the PGPWD operation is initiated. While the PGPWD operation is in progress, the
Status Register or Extended Read Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit.
The WIP bit is “1” during the PGPWD operation, and is “0” when it is completed. When the PGPWD operation is

8.63 UNLOCK PASSWORD OPERATION (UNPWD, E9h)
The UNPWD command is entered by driving CE# low, followed by the instruction code and the password data
bytes, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The password is 64bits in length.
CE# must be driven high after the 64th bit of data has been latched. If not, the UNPWD command is not executed.
As soon as CE# is driven high, the UNPWD operation is initiated. While the UNPWD operation is in progress, the
Status Register or Extended Read Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit.
The WIP bit is “1” during the UNPWD operation, and is “0” when it is completed.
If the UNPWD command supplied password does not match the hidden password in the Password Register, the
UNPWD command is ignored. This returns the device to standby state, ready for a new command such as a retry
of the UNPWD command. If the password does match, the PPB Lock bit is set to “1”. The maximum clock
frequency for the UNPWD command is 166MHz.

8.64 GANG SECTOR/BLOCK LOCK OPERATION (GBLK, 7Eh)
The Gang Sector/Block Lock (GBLK) instruction provides a quick method to set all DYB (Dynamic Protection Bit)
bits to “0” at once.
The sequence of issuing GBLK instruction is: drive CE# low  send GBLK instruction code  drive CE# high.
The instruction code will be shifted into the device on the rising edge of SCK.
The GBLK command is accepted in both SPI and QPI mode. The CE# must go high exactly at the byte boundary,
otherwise, the instruction will be ignored. While the GBLK operation is in progress, the Status Register or
Extended Read Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The WIP bit is “1”
during the GBLK operation, and is “0” when it is completed.

Notes:
1. These parameters are characterized and not 100% tested.
2. If the RESET# pulse is driven for a period shorter than 1µs (tRESET minimum), it may still reset the device, however
the 1µs minimum period is recommended to ensure reliable operation.
3. Typical values are included for reference only and are not guaranteed or tested. Typical values are measured at
VCC = VCC (Typ), TA=25°C.
