4. DEVICE OPERATION
SPI Mode
Standard SPI
The GD25Q128C feature a serial peripheral interface on 4 signals bus: Serial Clock (SCLK), Chip Select (CS#),
Serial Data Input (SI) and Serial Data Output (SO). Both SPI bus mode 0 and 3 are supported. Input data is
latched on the rising edge of SCLK and data shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK.
Dual SPI
The GD25Q128C supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Dual Output Fast Read” and “Dual I/O Fast
Read” (3BH and BBH) commands. These commands allow data to be transferred to or from the device at two
times the rate of the standard SPI. When using the Dual SPI command the SI and SO pins become bidirectional
I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.
Quad SPI
The GD25Q128C supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Quad Output Fast Read”, “Quad I/O Fast
Read”, “Quad I/O Word Fast Read”(6BH, EBH, E7H) commands. These commands allow data to be transferred
to or from the device at four times the rate of the standard SPI. When using the Quad SPI command the SI and
SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1, and WP# and HOLD#/RESET# pins become IO2 and IO3.
Quad SPI commands require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register to be set.
QPI
The GD25Q128C supports Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) operations only when the device is switched
from Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode to QPI mode using the “Enable the QPI (38H)” command. The QPI
mode utilizes all four IO pins to input the command code. Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode and QPI mode are
exclusive. Only one mode can be active at any given times. “Enable the QPI (38H)” and “Disable the QPI (FFH)”
commands are used to switch between these two modes. Upon power-up and after software reset using “Reset
(99H)” command, the default state of the device is Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode. The QPI mode requires the
non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register to be set.
Hold
The HOLD/RST bit is used to determine whether HOLD# or RESET# function should be implemented on the
hardware pin for 8-pin packages. When HOLD/RST=0, the pin7 acts as HOLD#, the HOLD# function is only
available when QE=0, If QE=1, The HOLD# functions is disabled, the pin acts as dedicated data I/O pin.
The HOLD# signal goes low to stop any serial communications with the device, but doesn’t stop the operation
of write status register, programming, or erasing in progress.
The operation of HOLD, need CS# keep low, and starts on falling edge of the HOLD# signal, with SCLK
signal being low (if SCLK is not being low, HOLD operation will not start until SCLK being low). The HOLD
condition ends on rising edge of HOLD# signal with SCLK being low (If SCLK is not being low, HOLD
operation will not end until SCLK being low).
The SO is high impedance, both SI and SCLK don’t care during the HOLD operation, if CS# drives high during
HOLD operation, it will reset the internal logic of the device. To re-start communication with chip, the HOLD#
must be at high and then CS# must be at low.

RESET
The RESET# pin allows the device to be reset by the control. For the WSON8 package, the pin7 can be
configured as a RESET# pin depending on the status register setting, which need QE=0 and HOLD/RST=1. On
the SOP16 package, a dedicated RESET# pin is provided and it is independent of QE bit setting.
The RESET# pin goes low for a period of tRLRH or longer will reset the flash. After reset cycle, the flash is at
the following states:
- Standby mode
- All the volatile bits will return to the default status as power on.

5. DATA PROTECTION
The GD25Q128C provides the following data protection methods:
♦ Write Enable (WREN) command: The WREN command is set the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL). The WEL
bit will return to reset by the following situation:
- Power-Up
- Write Disable (WRDI)
- Write Status Register (WRSR)
- Page Program (PP)
- Sector Erase (SE) / Block Erase (BE) / Chip Erase (CE)
♦ Software Protection Mode:
- The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits define the section of the memory array that can be
read but not change.
- Individual Block Protection bit provides the protection selection of each individual block and sectors in the
top and bottom block.
♦ Hardware Protection Mode: WP# going low to protected the BP0~BP4 bits and SRP0~1 bits.
♦ Deep Power-Down Mode: In Deep Power-Down Mode, all commands are ignored except the Release from
Deep Power-Down Mode command.

The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows:
WIP bit.
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy in program/erase/write status register
progress. When WIP bit sets to 1, means the device is busy in program/erase/write status register progress, when
WIP bit sets 0, means the device is not in program/erase/write status register progress.
WEL bit.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1 the
internal Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is reset and no Write Status
Register, Program or Erase command is accepted.
BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits.
The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be
software protected against Program and Erase commands. These bits are written with the Write Status Register
(WRSR) command. When the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits are set to 1, the relevant
memory area (as defined in Table1). becomes protected against Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE) and Block
Erase (BE) commands. The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits can be written provided that
the Hardware Protected mode has not been set. The Chip Erase (CE) command is executed, only if the Block
Protect (BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits are 0 and CMP=0.
SRP1, SRP0 bits.
The Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0) bits are non-volatile Read/Write bits in the status register. The
SRP bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware protection, power supply lockdown or one time programmable protection.

QE bit.
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register that allows Quad operation.
When the QE bit is set to 0 (Default) the WP# pin and HOLD#/RESET# pin are enable. When the QE pin is set
to 1, the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled. (The QE bit should never be set to 1 during standard SPI or Dual
SPI operation if the WP# or HOLD#/RESET# pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground).
LB3, LB2, LB1 bits.
The LB3, LB2, LB1 bits are non-volatile One Time Program (OTP) bits in Status Register (S13-S11) that
provide the write protect control and status to the Security Registers. The default state of LB3-LB1 are 0,
the security registers are unlocked. The LB3-LB1 bits can be set to 1 individually using the Write Register
instruction. The LB3-LB1 bits are One Time Programmable, once its set to 1, the Security Registers will become
read-only permanently.
CMP bit.
The CMP bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register (S14). It is used in conjunction the BP4BP0 bits to provide more flexibility for the array protection. Please see the Status registers Memory Protection
table for details. The default setting is CMP=0.
SUS1, SUS2 bits.
The SUS1 and SUS2 bits are read only bit in the status register (S15 and S10) that are set to 1 after executing an
Program/Erase Suspend (75H) command (The Erase Suspend will set the SUS1 to 1, and the Program Suspend
will set the SUS2 to 1) . The SUS1 and SUS2 bits are cleared to 0 by Program/Erase Resume (7AH) command
as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.
WPS bit.
The WPS Bit is used to select which Write Protect scheme should be used. When WPS=0, the device will use
the combination of CMP, BP (4:0) bits to protect a specific area of the memory array. When WPS=1, the device
will utilize the Individual Block Locks to protect any individual sector or blocks. The default value for all
Individual Block Lock bits is 1 upon device power on or after reset.
DRV1/DRV0.
The DRV1 & DRV0 bits are used to determine the output driver strength for the Read operations.

HOLD/RST
The HOLD/RST bit is used to determine whether HOLD# or RESET# function should be implemented on the
hardware pin for 8-pin packages. When HOLD/RST=0, the pin acts as HOLD#, When the HOLD/RST=1, the
pin acts as RESET#. However, the HOLD# or RESET# function are only available when QE=0, If QE=1, The
HOLD# and RESET# functions are disabled, the pin acts as dedicated data I/O pin.

7. COMMANDS DESCRIPTION
All commands, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, beginning with the most significant bit
on the first rising edge of SCLK after CS# is driven low. Then, the one-byte command code must be shifted in
to the device, most significant bit first on SI, each bit being latched on the rising edges of SCLK.
See Table7.1., every command sequence starts with a one-byte command code. Depending on the command,
this might be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none. CS# must be driven high after
the last bit of the command sequence has been shifted in. For the command of Read, Fast Read, Read Status
Register or Release from Deep Power-Down, and Read Device ID, the shifted-in command sequence is followed
by a data-out sequence. CS# can be driven high after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out.
For the command of Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register, Write
Enable, Write Disable or Deep Power-Down command, CS# must be driven high exactly at a byte boundary,
otherwise the command is rejected, and is not executed. That is CS# must driven high when the number of clock
pulses after CS# being driven low is an exact multiple of eight. For Page Program, if at any time the input byte
is not a full byte, nothing will happen and WEL will not be reset.

7.1. Write Enable (WREN)(06H)
The Write Enable (WREN) command is for setting the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit must be set prior to every Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Block Erase (BE), Chip Erase (CE),
Write Status Register (WRSR) and Erase/Program Security Register command. The Write Enable (WREN)
command sequence: CS# goes low → sending the Write Enable command → CS# goes high.

7.3. Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50H)
The non-volatile Status Register bits can also be written to as volatile bits. This gives more flexibility to
change the system configuration and memory protection schemes quickly without waiting for the typical nonvolatile bit write cycles or affecting the endurance of the Status Register non-volatile bits. The Write Enable for
Volatile Status Register command must be issued prior to a Write Status Register command. The Write Enable
for Volatile Status Register command will not set the Write Enable Latch bit, it is only valid for the Write Status
Register command to change the volatile Status Register bit values.

7.4. Read Status Register (RDSR) (05H or 35H or 15H)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) command is for reading the Status Register. The Status Register may be read
at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles
is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new command to
the device. It is also possible to read the Status Register continuously. For command code “05H”/“35H”/“15H”,
the SO will output Status Register bits S7~S0 / S15~S8 / S16~S23.

7.5. Write Status Register (WRSR) (01H or 31H or 11H)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows new values to be written to the Status Register. Before it
can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable
(WREN) command has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command has no effect on S20, S19, S17, S16, S15, S10, S1 and S0 of
the Status Register. CS# must be driven high after the eighth of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the
Write Status Register (WRSR) command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Write
Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the
Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress
(WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is
completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP4,
BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only. The Write
Status Register (WRSR) command also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register Protect (SRP1 and
SRP0) bits in accordance with the Write Protect (WP#) signal. The Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0)
bits and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected Mode. The Write
Status Register (WRSR) command is not executed once the Hardware Protected Mode is entered.

7.6. Read Data Bytes (READ) (03H)
The Read Data Bytes (READ) command is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being latched-in
during the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being
shifted out, at a Max frequency fR, during the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte addressed can be at any
location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted
out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) command. Any Read
Data Bytes (READ) command, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having
any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

7.7. Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast Read) (0BH)
The Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast Read) command is for quickly reading data out. It is followed by
a 3-byte address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of SCLK. Then
the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fC,
during the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out.

Fast Read (0BH) in QPI mode
The Fast Read command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode, the number of dummy clocks is
configured by the “Set Read Parameters (C0H)” command to accommodate a wide range application with
different needs for either maximum Fast Read frequency or minimum data access latency. Depending on the
Read Parameter Bits P[5:4] setting, the number of dummy clocks can be configured as either 4/6/8/8.

7.10. Dual I/O Fast Read (BBH)
The Dual I/O Fast Read command is similar to the Dual Output Fast Read command but with the capability to
input the 3-byte address (A23-0) and a “Continuous Read Mode” byte 2-bit per clock by SI and SO, each bit
being latched in during the rising edge of SCLK, then the memory contents are shifted out 2-bit per clock cycle
from SI and SO. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure12. The first byte addressed can be at any
location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted
out.
Dual I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Dual I/O Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous
Read Mode” bits (M7-4) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4)
=(1, 0), then the next Dual I/O Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not require the
BBH command code. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure12a. If the “Continuous Read Mode”
bits (M5-4) do not equal (1, 0), the next command requires the first BBH command code, thus returning to
normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can be used to reset (M5-4) before issuing
normal command.

by IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3, each bit being latched in during the rising edge of SCLK, then the memory contents
are shifted out 4-bit per clock cycle from IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3. The command sequence is shown in followed
Figure13. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next
higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register (S9) must
be set to enable for the Quad I/O Fast read command.
Quad I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Quad I/O Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous

EBH command code. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure13a. If the “Continuous Read Mode”
bits (M5-4) do not equal to (1, 0), the next command requires the first EBH command code, thus returning
to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can be used to reset (M5-4) before issuing

Quad I/O Fast Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around” in Standard SPI mode
The Quad I/O Fast Read command can be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing “Set Burst
with Wrap” (77H) commands prior to EBH. The “Set Burst with Wrap” (77H) command can either enable or
disable the “Wrap Around” feature for the following EBH commands. When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the
data being accessed can be limited to either an 8/16/32/64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data
starts at the initial address specified in the command, once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte
section, the output will wrap around the beginning boundary automatically until CS# is pulled high to terminate
the command.
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address and then fill
the cache afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing multiple read commands.
The “Set Burst with Wrap” command allows three “Wrap Bits” W6-W4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to enable
or disable the “Wrap Around” operation while W6-W5 is used to specify the length of the wrap around section
within a page.
Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH) in QPI mode
The Quad I/O Fast Read command is also supported in QPI mode. See Figure13b. In QPI mode, the number
of dummy clocks is configured by the “Set Read Parameters (C0H)” command to accommodate a wide range
application with different needs for either maximum Fast Read frequency or minimum data access latency.
Depending on the Read Parameter Bits P[5:4] setting, the number of dummy clocks can be configured as
either 4/6/8/8. In QPI mode, the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M7-M0 are also considered as dummy clocks.
“Continuous Read Mode” feature is also available in QPI mode for Quad I/O Fast Read command. “Wrap
Around” feature is not available in QPI mode for Quad I/O Fast Read command. To perform a read operation
with fixed data length wrap around in QPI mode, a dedicated “Burst Read with Wrap” (0CH) command must be
used.

7.12. Quad I/O Word Fast Read (E7H)
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command is similar to the Quad I/O Fast Read command except that the lowest
address bit (A0) must equal 0 and only 2-dummy clock. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure14.
The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher
address after each byte of data is shifted out. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register (S9) must be set to
enable for the Quad I/O Word Fast read command.
Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous
Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4)
=(1, 0), then the next Quad I/O Word Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not
require the E7H command code. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure14. If the “Continuous
Read Mode” bits (M5-4) do not equal to (1, 0), the next command requires the first E7H command code, thus
returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can be used to reset (M5-4) before
issuing normal command.

Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around” in Standard SPI mode
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command can be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing “Set
Burst with Wrap” (77H) commands prior to E7H. The “Set Burst with Wrap” (77H) command can either enable
or disable the “Wrap Around” feature for the following E7H commands. When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the
data being accessed can be limited to either an 8/16/32/64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data
starts at the initial address specified in the command, once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte
section, the output will wrap around the beginning boundary automatically until CS# is pulled high to terminate
the command.
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address and then fill
the cache afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing multiple read commands.
The “Set Burst with Wrap” command allows three “Wrap Bits” W6-W4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to enable
or disable the “Wrap Around” operation while W6-W5 is used to specify the length of the wrap around section
within a page.
7.13. Set Burst with Wrap (77H)
The Set Burst with Wrap command is used in conjunction with “Quad I/O Fast Read” and “Quad I/O Word
Fast Read” command to access a fixed length of 8/16/32/64-byte section within a 256-byte page, in standard SPI
mode. The Set Burst with Wrap command sequence: CS# goes low → Send Set Burst with Wrap command →
Send 24 dummy bits → Send 8 bits “Wrap bits” → CS# goes high.

If the W6-W4 bits are set by the Set Burst with Wrap command, all the following “Quad I/O Fast Read” and

any page. To exit the “Wrap Around” function and return to normal read operation, another Set Burst with Wrap
command should be issued to set W4=1. In QPI mode, the “Burst Read with Wrap (0CH)” command should be
used to perform the Read Operation with “Wrap Around” feature. The Wrap Length set by W5-W6 in Standard
SPI mode is still valid in QPI mode and can also be re-configured by “Set Read Parameters (C0H) command.

7.14. Page Program (PP) (02H)
The Page Program (PP) command is for programming the memory. A Write Enable (WREN) command must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program
command.
The Page Program (PP) command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code, three
address bytes and at least one data byte on SI. If the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero,
all transmitted data that goes beyond the end of the current page are programmed from the start address of the
same page (from the address whose 8 least significant bits (A7-A0) are all zero). CS# must be driven low for the
entire duration of the sequence.
The Page Program command sequence: CS# goes low → sending Page Program command → 3-byte address
on SI → at least 1 byte data on SI → CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure16.
If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes
are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256 data bytes are sent to device,
they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the
same page. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in; otherwise the
Page Program (PP) command is not executed.
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the
Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress
(WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Page Program (PP) command applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2,
BP1 and BP0) is not executed.

7.15. Quad Page Program (32H)
The Quad Page Program command is for programming the memory using four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2 and IO3.
To use Quad Page Program the Quad enable in status register Bit9 must be set (QE=1). A Write Enable (WREN)
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the
Page Program command. The quad Page Program command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the
command code (32H), three address bytes and at least one data byte on IO pins.
The command sequence is shown in Figure17. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched
data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page.
If less than 256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without
having any effects on the other bytes of the same page. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last
data byte has been latched in; otherwise the Quad Page Program (PP) command is not executed.
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Quad Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated.
While the Quad Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the
Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Quad Page Program
cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Quad Page Program command applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2,
BP1 and BP0) is not executed.

7.16. Sector Erase (SE) (20H)
The Sector Erase (SE) command is erased the all data of the chosen sector. A Write Enable (WREN) command
must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Sector Erase (SE) command
is entered by driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and 3-address byte on SI. Any address inside the
sector is a valid address for the Sector Erase (SE) command. CS# must be driven low for the entire duration of
the sequence.
The Sector Erase command sequence: CS# goes low → sending Sector Erase command → 3-byte address on
SI → CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure18. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit
of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) command is not executed. As soon
as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector
Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit.
The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At
some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. A Sector Erase
(SE) command applied to a sector which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bit is
not executed.

7.17. 32KB Block Erase (BE) (52H)
The 32KB Block Erase (BE) command is erased the all data of the chosen block. A Write Enable (WREN)
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The 32KB Block Erase
(BE) command is entered by driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and three address bytes on SI.
Any address inside the block is a valid address for the 32KB Block Erase (BE) command. CS# must be driven
low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The 32KB Block Erase command sequence: CS# goes low → sending 32KB Block Erase command → 3-byte
address on SI→ CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure19. CS# must be driven high after
the eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the 32KB Block Erase (BE) command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Block Erase cycle (whose duration is tBE) is initiated.
While the Block Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In
Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Block Erase cycle, and is 0 when
it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is

7.18. 64KB Block Erase (BE) (D8H)
The 64KB Block Erase (BE) command is erased the all data of the chosen block. A Write Enable (WREN)
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The 64KB Block Erase
(BE) command is entered by driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and three address bytes on SI.
Any address inside the block is a valid address for the 64KB Block Erase (BE) command. CS# must be driven
low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The 64KB Block Erase command sequence: CS# goes low → sending 64KB Block Erase command → 3-byte
address on SI → CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure20. CS# must be driven high after
the eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the 64KB Block Erase (BE) command is not

7.19. Chip Erase (CE) (60/C7H)
The Chip Erase (CE) command is erased the all data of the chip. A Write Enable (WREN) command must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Chip Erase (CE) command is
entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code on Serial Data Input (SI). CS# must be driven Low
for the entire duration of the sequence.
The Chip Erase command sequence: CS# goes low → sending Chip Erase command → CS# goes high. The
command sequence is shown in Figure21. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the command code
has been latched in; otherwise the Chip Erase command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, the selftimed Chip Erase cycle (whose duration is tCE) is initiated. While the Chip Erase cycle is in progress, the Status
Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1
during the self-timed Chip Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle
is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. The Chip Erase (CE) command is executed only if all
Block Protect (BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits are 0. The Chip Erase (CE) command is ignored if one or more sectors
are protected.

7.20. Deep Power-Down (DP) (B9H)
Executing the Deep Power-Down (DP) command is the only way to put the device in the lowest consumption
mode (the Deep Power-Down Mode). It can also be used as an extra software protection mechanism, while
the device is not in active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase commands.
Driving CS# high deselects the device, and puts the device in the Standby Mode (if there is no internal cycle
currently in progress). But this mode is not the Deep Power-Down Mode. The Deep Power-Down Mode can
only be entered by executing the Deep Power-Down (DP) command. Once the device has entered the Deep
Power-Down Mode, all commands are ignored except the Release from Deep Power-Down and Read Device
ID (RDI) command. This releases the device from this mode. The Release from Deep Power-Down and Read
Device ID (RDI) command also allows the Device ID of the device to be output on SO.
The Deep Power-Down Mode automatically stops at Power-Down, and the device always Power-Up in
the Standby Mode. The Deep Power-Down (DP) command is entered by driving CS# low, followed by the
command code on SI. CS# must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The Deep Power-Down command sequence: CS# goes low → sending Deep Power-Down command → CS#
goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure22. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the
command code has been latched in; otherwise the Deep Power-Down (DP) command is not executed. As soon
as CS# is driven high, it requires a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the Deep PowerDown Mode is entered. Any Deep Power-Down (DP) command, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

7.21. Release from Deep Power-Down and Read Device ID (RDI) (ABH)
http://www.elm-tech.com
The Release from Power-Down and Read Device ID command is a multi-purpose command. It can be used to
release the device from the Power-Down state or obtain the devices electronic identification (ID) number.
To release the device from the Power-Down state, the command is issued by driving the CS# pin low, shifting
the instruction code “ABH” and driving CS# high as shown in Figure23. Release from Power-Down will take
the time duration of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) before the device will resume normal operation and other
command are accepted. The CS# pin must remain high during the tRES1 time duration.
When used only to obtain the Device ID while not in the Power-Down state, the command is initiated by
driving the CS# pin low and shifting the instruction code “ABH” followed by 3-dummy byte. The Device ID
bits are then shifted out on the falling edge of SCLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure24.
The Device ID value for the GD25Q128C is listed in Manufacturer and Device Identification table. The Device
ID can be read continuously. The command is completed by driving CS# high.
When used to release the device from the Power-Down state and obtain the Device ID, the command is the
same as previously described, and shown in Figure24, except that after CS# is driven high it must remain high
for a time duration of tRES2 (See AC Characteristics). After this time duration the device will resume normal
operation and other command will be accepted. If the Release from Power-Down/Device ID command is issued
while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (when WIP equal 1) the command is ignored and will not
have any effects on the current cycle.

7.25. Read Identification (RDID) (9FH)
The Read Identification (RDID) command allows the 8-bit manufacturer identification to be read, followed by
two bytes of device identification. The device identification indicates the memory type in the first byte, and the
memory capacity of the device in the second byte. The Read Identification (RDID) command while an Erase
or Program cycle is in progress is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. The Read
Identification (RDID) command should not be issued while the device is in Deep Power-Down Mode.
The device is first selected by driving CS# to low. Then, the 8-bit command code for the command is shifted
in. This is followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory, being shifted out on Serial Data
Output, each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock. The command sequence is shown in
Figure28. The Read Identification (RDID) command is terminated by driving CS# to high at any time during
data output. When CS# is driven high, the device is put in the Standby Mode. Once in the Standby Mode, the

7.26. Program/Erase Suspend (PES) (75H)
The Program/Erase Suspend command “75H”, allows the system to interrupt a page program or sector/
block erase operation and then read data from any other sector or block. The Write Status Register command
(01H/31H/11H) and Erase/Program Security Registers command (44H, 42H) and Erase commands (20H, 52H,
D8H, C7H, 60H) and Page Program command (02H/32H) are not allowed during Program/Erase suspend.
Program/Erase Suspend is valid only during the page program or sector/block erase operation. A maximum of
time of “tsus” (See AC Characteristics) is required to suspend the program/erase operation.
The Program/Erase Suspend command will be accepted by the device only if the SUS2/SUS1 bit in the Status
Register equal to 0 and WIP bit equal to 1 while a Page Program or a Sector or Block Erase operation is ongoing. If the SUS2/SUS1 bit equal to 1 or WIP bit equal to 0, the Suspend command will be ignored by the
device. The WIP bit will be cleared from 1 to 0 within “tsus” and the SUS2/SUS1 bit will be set from 0 to 1
immediately after Program/Erase Suspend. A power-off during the suspend period will reset the device and
release the suspend state. The command sequence is show in Figure29.

7.27. Program/Erase Resume (PER) (7AH)
The Program/Erase Resume command must be written to resume the program or sector/block erase operation
after a Program/Erase Suspend command. The Program/Erase command will be accepted by the device only if
the SUS2/SUS1 bit equal to 1 and the WIP bit equal to 0. After issued the SUS2/SUS1 bit in the status register
will be cleared from 1 to 0 immediately, the WIP bit will be set from 0 to 1 within 200ns and the Sector or
Block will complete the erase operation or the page will complete the program operation. The Program/Erase
Resume command will be ignored unless a Program/Erase Suspend is active. The command sequence is show in

7.28. Erase Security Registers (44H)
The GD25Q128C provides three 512-byte Security Registers which can be erased and programmed
individually. These registers may be used by the system manufacturers to store security and other important
information separately from the main memory array.
The Erase Security Registers command is similar to Sector/Block Erase command. A Write Enable (WREN)
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit.
The Erase Security Registers command sequence: CS# goes low → sending Erase Security Registers command
→ CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure31. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit
of the command code has been latched in; otherwise the Erase Security Registers command is not executed.
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Erase Security Registers cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated.
While the Erase Security Registers cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the
Write in Progress (WIP) bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Erase Security Registers
cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit is reset. The Security Registers Lock Bit (LB3-1) in the Status Register can be used to OTP
protect the security registers. Once the LB bit is set to 1, the Security Registers will be permanently locked; the
Erase Security Registers command will be ignored.

7.29. Program Security Registers (42H)
The Program Security Registers command is similar to the Page Program command. It allows from 1 to 512
bytes Security Registers data to be programmed. A Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been
executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Program Security Registers command. The
Program Security Registers command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code (42H),
three address bytes and at least one data byte on SI. As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Program
Security Registers cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Program Security Registers cycle is in
progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write in Progress (WIP) bit. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Program Security Registers cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At
some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
If the Security Registers Lock Bit (LB3-1) is set to 1, the Security Registers will be permanently locked.
Program Security Registers command will be ignored.

7.30. Read Security Registers (48H)
The Read Security Registers command is similar to Fast Read command. The command is followed by a
3-byte address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of SCLK. Then
the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fC,
during the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. Once the A8-A0 address reaches the
last byte of the register (Byte 3FFH), it will reset to 000H, the command is completed by driving CS# high.

7.31. Individual Block/Sector Lock (36H)/Unlock (39H)/Read (3DH)
The individual block/sector lock provides an alternative way to protect the memory array from adverse Erase/
Program. In order to use the Individual Block/Sector Locks, the WPS bit in Status Register-3 must be set to 1. If
WPS=0, the write protection will be determined by the combination of CMP, BP (4:0) bits in the Status Register.
The Individual Block/Sector Lock bits are volatile bits. The default values after device power up or after a Reset
are 1, so the entire memory array is being protected.
The individual Block/Sector Lock command (36H) sequence: CS# goes low → SI: Sending individual Block/
Sector Lock command → SI: Sending 24bits individual Block/Sector Lock Address → CS# goes high. The
command sequence is shown in Figure34.
The individual Block/Sector Unlock command (39H) sequence: CS# goes low → SI: Sending individual
Block/Sector Unlock command → SI: Sending 24bits individual Block/Sector Lock Address → CS# goes high.
The command sequence is shown in Figure35.
The Read individual Block/Sector lock command (3DH) sequence: CS# goes low → SI: Sending Read
individual Block/Sector Lock command → SI: Sending 24bits individual Block/Sector Lock Address → SO:
The Block/Sector Lock Bit will out → CS# goes high. If the least significant bit(LSB) is1, the corresponding
block/sector is locked, if the LSB is 0, the corresponding block/sector is unlocked, Erase/Program operation can
be performed. The command sequence is shown in Figure36.

In QPI mode the “Set Read Parameters (C0H)” command can be used to configure the number of dummy
clocks for “Fast Read (0BH)”, “Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH)” and “Burst Read with Wrap (0CH)” command,
and to configure the number of bytes of “Wrap Length” for the “Burst Read with Wrap (0CH)” command. In
standard SPI mode, the “Wrap Length” is set by W5-6 bit in the “Set Burst with Wrap (77H)” command. This
setting will remain unchanged when the device is switched from Standard SPI mode to QPI mode.

The device support both Standard/Dual/Quad SPI and QPI mode. The “Enable QPI (38H)” command can
switch the device from SPI mode to QPI mode. See the command Table 7.2. for all support QPI commands. In
order to switch the device to QPI mode, the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-1 must be set to 1 first,
and “Enable QPI (38H)” command must be issued. If the QE bit is 0, the “Enable QPI (38H)” command will
be ignored and the device will remain in SPI mode. When the device is switched from SPI mode to QPI mode,
the existing Write Enable Latch and Program/Erase Suspend status, and the Wrap Length setting will remain
unchanged.

7.37. Enable Reset (66H) and Reset (99H)
If the Reset command is accepted, any on-going internal operation will be terminated and the device will return
to its default power-on state and lose all the current volatile settings, such as Volatile Status Register bits, Write
Enable Latch status (WEL), Program/Erase Suspend status, Read Parameter setting (P7-P0), Continuous Read
Mode bit setting (M7-M0) and Wrap Bit Setting (W6-W4).
The “Enable Reset (66H)” and the “Reset (99H)” commands can be issued in either SPI or QPI mode. The “Reset
(99H)”command sequence as follow: CS# goes low → Sending Enable Reset command → CS# goes high
→ CS# goes low → Sending Reset command → CS# goes high. Once the Reset command is accepted by the
device, the device will take approximately tRST=60µs to reset. During this period, no command will be accepted.
Data corruption may happen if there is an on-going or suspended internal Erase or Program operation when
Reset command sequence is accepted by the device. It is recommended to check the BUSY bit and the SUS bit
in Status Register before issuing the Reset command sequence.

The Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard provides a consistent method of describing the
functional and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a standard set of internal parameter tables. These
parameter tables can be interrogated by host system software to enable adjustments needed to accommodate
divergent features from multiple vendors. The concept is similar to the one found in the Introduction of JEDEC
Standard, JESD68 on CFI. SFDP is a standard of JEDEC Standard No.216.
