8M-bit (1024K×8) Serial Flash Memory
with High-Density Read Mode
Overview
The LE25FW808 is 1024K×8bit Serial flash memory by 3.0V single power supply operation, and support serial
peripheral interface (S.P.I.). There are three kinds of erase functions, Small Sector (8K bytes) erase, Sector (64K bytes)
erase and Chip erase. If those erase is used properly according to the application, you can efficiently use the memory space.
Page program can program the arbitrary data from 1 byte to 256 bytes. LE25FW808 has our original high-speed program
function, page program time is 0.3ms (Typ.). Therefore, the overall rewriting time of 8M bit is 1.5s (Typ.), when
combining with Chip erase. Moreover, LE25FW808 is stored in 8 pin very small package by making the best use of the
feature of serial interface. According to these features, LE25FW808 is the best suited for applications in the portable
electronic devices, that require re-programmable nonvolatile storage of program memory.
LE25FW808 has also the High-Density read mode (hereafter, HD_READ mode) that is the most high-speed data transfer
in the world as the flash memory with serial interface. About eight times the data-transfer velocity can be achieved without
changing the clock frequency used in a usual serial flash memory by using this mode. For instance, it is possible to read
with 240Mbit/s in the maximum by using the HD_READ mode of 30MHz though a standard serial flash memory read with
30Mbit/s or less.

Device Operation
The LE25FW808 features electrical on-chip erase functions using a single 3.0V power supply, that have been added to
the EPROM functions of the industry standard that support serial interfaces. Interfacing and control are facilitated by
incorporating the command registers inside the chip. The read, erase, program and other required functions of the
device are executed through the command registers. The command addresses and data input in accordance with "Table
2 Command Settings" are latched inside the device in order to execute the required operations. "Figure 3 Serial Input
Timing" shows the timing waveforms of the serial data input. First, at the falling CS edge the device is selected, and
serial input is enabled for the commands, addresses, etc. These inputs are introduced internally in sequence starting with
bit 7 in synchronization with the rising SCK edge. At this time, output pin SO is in the high-impedance state. The
output pin is placed in the low-impedance state when the data is output in sequence starting with bit 7 synchronized to
the falling clock edge during read, status register read and silicon ID. Refer to "Figure 4 Serial Output Timing" for the
serial output timing.
The LE25FW808 supports both serial interface SPI mode 0 and SPI mode 3. At the falling CS edge, SPI mode 0 is
automatically selected if the logic level of SCK is low, and SPI mode 3 is automatically selected if the logic level of
SCK is high.

Outline of High-Density read mode (HD_READ mode) operation
LE25FW808 has the HD_READ mode in addition to two kinds of normal read (4 bus read and 5 bus read). The
HD_READ mode is greatly different from the normal mode in three points.
The first is the difference of the role of pins. Four pins (SO, WP, HOLD, SI) become I/O pins (SIO3 to SIO0) in the
HD_READ mode while the input pin (SI) and the output pin (SO) are only one in the normal mode respectively as
shown in Figure 2. Because SO, WP, HOLD and SI operate as I/O pin in the HD_READ mode, the setting of read
address and the outputting read data become to be done from four pins.
The second is the difference of the relation between the clock and the data output. The rising edge of SCK is made a
trigger for the address input and the falling edge of SCK is made a trigger for the data output in the normal mode.
However, both edges of rising and falling of SCK will be done to the address taking and the data outputting in the
HD_READ mode.
The third is the difference of the data composition at the time of reading. It is read by the ×16 bit in the HD_READ
mode though it is read by the ×8 bit in the normal read. Therefore, please fix least significant bit (LSB) : A0 to L in the
address input in HD_READ mode.

Command Definition
"Table 2 Command Settings" provides a list and overview of the commands. A detailed description of the functions and
operations corresponding to each command is presented below.
1. Conventional Read
There are two read commands, the 4 bus cycle read command and 5 bus cycle read command. Consisting of the first
through fourth bus cycles, the 4 bus cycle read command inputs the 24-bit addresses following (03h), and the data in the
designated addresses is output synchronized to SCK. The data is output from SO on the falling clock edge of fourth bus
cycle bit 0 as a reference. "Figure 6-a 4 Bus Read" shows the timing waveforms.
Consisting of the first through fifth bus cycles, the 5 bus cycle read command inputs the 24-bit addresses and 8 dummy
bits following (0Bh). The data is output from SO using the falling clock edge of fifth bus cycle bit 0 as a reference.
"Figure 6-b 5 Bus Read" shows the timing waveforms. The only difference between these two commands is whether the
dummy bits in the fifth bus cycle are input.
When SCK is input continuously after the read command has been input and the data in the designated addresses has
been output, the address is automatically incremented inside the device while SCK is being input, and the corresponding
data is output in sequence. If the SCK input is continued after the internal address arrives at the highest address
(FFFFFh), the internal address returns to the lowest address (00000h), and data output is continued. By setting the logic
level of CS to high, the device is deselected, and the read cycle ends. While the device is deselected, the output pin SO
is in a high-impedance state.

2. High-Density Read
LE25FW808 has the HD_READ mode in addition to two kinds of normal read (4 bus read and 5 bus read). The
HD_READ mode is greatly different from the normal mode in three points.
The first is the difference of the role of pins. Four pins (SO, WP, HOLD, SI) become I/O pins (SIO3 – SIO0) in the
HD_READ mode while the input pin (SI) and the output pin (SO) are only one in the normal mode respectively as
shown in Figure 2. Because SO, WP, HOLD and SI operate as I/O pin in the HD_READ mode, the setting of read
address and the outputting read data become to be done from four pins.
The second is the difference of the relation between the clock and the data output. The rising edge of SCK is made a
trigger for the address input and the falling edge of SCK is made a trigger for the data output in the normal mode.
However, both edges of rising and falling of SCK will be done to the address taking and the data outputting in the
HD_READ mode.
The third is the difference of the data composition at the time of reading. It is read by the ×16 bit in the HD_READ
mode though it is read by the ×8 bit in the normal read. Therefore, please fix least significant bit (LSB): A0 to L in the
address input in HD_READ mode.
When the HD_READ mode is used with LE25FW808, it is necessary to input the HD_READ mode command first
according to the usual serial input specification. Please refer to Table 1 for the command input to set of the HD_READ
mode. The command is composed at two bus cycles, and various operation methods of the HD_READ mode can be set
at the second bus cycle. Please refer to Table 2 for a set content.
Please refer to Figure 7 for the input waveform when the HD_READ mode is set. The HD_READ mode becomes
effective by making CS to H after the command is input. It keeps maintaining the HD_READ mode until the power
supply is cut or the above-mentioned release command is input after entering the HD_READ mode once.

Because the HD_READ mode entry is an input in the normal mode, either input of SPI mode 0/3 is possible. However,
there is no concept of SPI mode for the period when the HD_READ mode is set. Please control CS according to timing
that provides with this specifications.
No.A0839-8/27
LE25FW808
The composition of one input pin and one output pin changes into the composition of four I/O pins if it enters in the
HD_READ mode. Therefore, the start address of reading in HD_READ mode is set from four I/O pins (SIO0 - SIO3).
At this time, the address from A23 to A0 are latched internally by rising edge of CS, rising and falling edge of SCK.
Please refer to Figure 7. However, it is necessary to note the following points.
• Even if CS is fixed at H, four I/O pins become the input waiting states in the HD_READ mode. Therefore, please fix
the state of four I/O pins at H or L for this period as much as possible. The input level changes or it becomes middle
potential, the penetration current will flow in the pin input buffer inside the flash.
• The address that can be input is only an even number address because output data is read in each x16 bit in the
HD_READ mode.
• Please input L to most significant bit (A23) of the address.
• The input address from A22 to A20 is don’t care. Those are for the serial flash memory that exceeds 8Mbit (planning).
Please rise CS to H in arbitrary timing when you want to stop reading in the HD_READ mode temporarily. The level of
SCK at this time doesn't ask H or L. The output is be the state of Hi-Z after tCHZ by rising CS, and four I/O pins (SIO0
- SIO3) become the input waiting states. Therefore, please fix the state of four I/O pins for this period at H level or L
level. Afterwards, please execute it from the address input again when you restart reading.
Address A23-A0 is set to xx55AAh to release from the HD_READ mode to the normal mode, and then the operation
that makes CS to H immediately when SCK becomes L after the address input is done. Please refer to Figure 8.

3. HD_READ Mode Register Setting
Various operation methods of the HD_READ mode can be set to an internal register in the HD_READ mode command
input at the second bus cycle. The register are eight bits in all, and shows the meaning of each bit in the table 3:
HD_READ mode register table. This register setting is effective until the release from HD_READ mode to the normal
mode. It is not necessary to set it again at each temporary stop of reading in the HD_READ mode.

(2) When fCLK exceeds 30MHz, it is necessary to adjust the CL to 1.0 or more.
Burst length setting
In this model, two kinds of reading methods of "Continuous reading" and "Wrap around reading" in the HD_READ
mode can be set alternately. And, the delimitation of the address can be set to four kinds (every 4 words, 8 words, 16
words, and 32 words (one word =16 bits)) in "Wrap around reading".
• Continuous reading
When the burst length is set, the Continuous reading is set by specifying (0, 0, 0) the register bit.
The Continuous reading method automatically continues to read as long as the SCK is input. Reading is begun from
the input address, and an internal address is automatically count up by two addresses (every 16 bits). If the internal
address reaches to the final address (FFFFEh), it returns to the first address (00000h) and reading is continued. If it
wants to shift to an arbitrary address on the way, the operation that makes CS to H once and makes to L again is
done.
No.A0839-10/27
LE25FW808
• Wrap around reading
When the burst length is set, the wrap around reading method is set by specifying (1, X, X) the register bit.
The wrap around reading method automatically continues to read as long as the SCK is input. Reading is begun
from the input address, and an internal address is automatically count up by two addresses (every 16 bits). If the
internal address reaches to the delimitation of the address set beforehand, it returns to the head of the delimitation of
the address and reading is repeated.
The delimitation of the address can be set to four kinds (every 4 words, 8 words, 16 words and 32 words (one word
=16 bits)) by two subordinate position bits of the register bit.
For instance, 16 words becomes a unit of the address delimitation for reading by 16 word wrap around. After it
reaches the final word of the address delimitation by 16 words, it returns to the first word and reading is done even if
reading is started from which address.
The order of reading for 20 words when the address of the third word from the head is read as a start address is as
follows.

Clock frequency setting
In this model, it is necessary to set the register bit of the clock frequency according to the operation frequency
used .The clock of 50MHz or less can be input at present. Especially, the power saving mode that decreases the power
consumption at HD_READ can be selected by specifying (0, 0) the register bit. However, this power saving mode use
with operation frequency 16MHz or less. Moreover, spec (tV2) of the output data time from SCK changes in this case.
Clock latency setting
In this model, CL (= clock latency: number of clocks from the setting of the address to the output of the first data) can
be set by setting the clock latency register bit. Please refer to Figure 7 for the method of counting CL. The falling edge
of the first SCK after the address input is assumed to be CL=0, and 0.5 CL is added every half clock of SCK. CL can
be set within the range from 0.5 to 3.0. However, when the clock frequency exceeds 30MHz, it is necessary to set CL
to 1.0 or more.

even during the following operations.
• Small sector erase, sector erase, chip erase
• Page program
• Status register write
"Figure 9 Status Register Read" shows the timing waveforms of status register read. Consisting only of the first bus
cycle, the status register command outputs the contents of the status registers synchronized to the falling edge of the
clock (SCK) with which the eighth bit of (05h) has been input. In terms of the output sequence, SRWP (bit 7) is the first
to be output, and each time one clock is input, all the other bits up to RDY (bit 0) are output in sequence, synchronized
to the falling clock edge. If the clock input is continued after RDY (bit 0) has been output, the data is output by
returning to the bit (SRWP) that was first output, after which the output is repeated for as long as the clock input is
continued. The data can be read by the status register read command at any time (even during a program or erase cycle).

4-2. Status Register Write
By Status Register Write, BP0, BP1, BP2 and SRWP can be rewritten. RDY, WEN, Bit5, and Bit6 are read-only, BP0,
BP1, BP2 and SRWP are non-volatile.
A timing waveform is shown in Figure 10 and a flow chart is shown in Figure 23.
Status Register Write command consists of the 1st bus cycle and the 2nd bus cycle, and internal Write operation starts
with the rising edge of CS after inputting data after OP-code (01h). Erase and program are automatically performed
inside the device and a Status Register Write rewrites BP0, BP1, BP2 and SRWP non-volatilized data. The write-in data
to read-only bits (RDY, WEN, Bit 5, Bit 6) are don't care.
The end of a Status Register Write is detectable with RDY of a Status Register Read.
The number of times of rewriting of a Status Register Write is 1,000 times (min).
In order to perform a Status Register Write, it is necessary to change WEN of a Status Register into "1" state for WP pin.

4-3. Contents of Each Status Register
RDY (bit 0)
The RDY register is for detecting the write (program, erase and status register write) end. When it is "1", the device is
in a busy state, and when it is "0", it means that write is completed.
No.A0839-13/27
LE25FW808
WEN (bit 1)
The WEN register is for detecting whether the device can perform write operations. If it is set to "0", the device will not
perform the write operation even if the write command is input. If it is set to "1", the device can perform write
operations in any area that is not block-protected.
WEN can be controlled using the write enable and write disable commands. By inputting the write enable command
(06h), WEN can be set to "1"; by inputting the write disable command (04h), it can be set to "0." In the following states,
WEN is automatically set to "0" in order to protect against unintentional writing.
• At power-on
• Upon completion of small sector erase, sector erase or chip erase
• Upon completion of page program
• Upon completion of status register write
* If a write operation has not been performed inside the LE25FW808 because, for instance, the command input for any
of the write operations (small sector erase, sector erase, chip erase, page program, or status register write) has failed or
a write operation has been performed for a protected address, WEN will retain the status established prior to the issue
of the command concerned. Furthermore, its state will not be changed by a read operation.
BP0, BP1, BP2 (bits 2, 3, 4)
Block protect BP0, BP1, and BP2 are status register bits that can be rewritten, and the memory space to be protected
can be set depending on these bits. For the setting conditions, refer to "Table 5 Protect level setting conditions".

SRWP (bit 7)
Status register write protect SRWP is the bit for protecting the status registers, and its information can be rewritten.
When SRWP is "1" and the logic level of the WP pin is low, the status register write command is ignored, and status
registers BP0, BP1, BP2, and SRWP are protected. When the logic level of the WP pin is high, the status registers are
not protected regardless of the SRWP state. The SRWP setting conditions are shown in "Table 5 SRWP setting
conditions".

5. Write Enable
Before performing any of the operations listed below, the device must be placed in the write enable state. Operation is
the same as for setting status register WEN to "1", and the state is enabled by inputting the write enable command.
"Figure 11 Write Enable" shows the timing waveforms when the write enable operation is performed. The write enable
command consists only of the first bus cycle, and it is initiated by inputting (06h).
• Small sector erase, sector erase, chip erase
• Page program
• Status register write
6. Write Disable
The write disable command sets status register WEN to "0" to prohibit unintentional writing. "Figure 12 Write Disable"
shows the timing waveforms. The write disable command consists only of the first bus cycle, and it is initiated by
inputting (04h). The write disable state (WEN "0") is exited by setting WEN to "1" using the write enable command
(06h).

7. Power-down
The power-down command sets all the commands, with the exception of the silicon ID read command and the
command to exit from power-down, to the acceptance prohibited state (power-down). "Figure 13 Power-down" shows
the timing waveforms. The power-down command consists only of the first bus cycle, and it is initiated by inputting
(B9h). However, a power-down command issued during an internal write operation will be ignored. The power-down
state is exited using the power-down exit command (power-down is exited also when one bus cycle or more of the
silicon ID read command (ABh) has been input). "Figure 14 Exiting from Power-down" shows the timing waveforms of
the power-down exit command.

8. Small Sector Erase
Small sector erase is an operation that sets the memory cell data in any small sector to "1". A small sector consists of
8Kbytes. "Figure 15 Small Sector Erase" shows the timing waveforms, and Figure 24 shows a small sector erase
flowchart. The small sector erase command consists of the first through fourth bus cycles, and it is initiated by inputting
the 24-bit addresses following (D7h). Addresses A19 to A13 are valid, and Addresses A23 to A20 are "don't care".
After the command has been input, the internal erase operation starts from the rising CS edge, and it ends automatically
by the control exercised by the internal timer. Erase end can also be detected using status register RDY.

12. Silicon ID Read
Silicon ID read is an operation that reads the manufacturer code and device code information. "Table 7 Silicon ID codes
table" lists the silicon ID codes. The silicon ID read command is not accepted during writing.
Two methods are used for silicon ID reading. The first method involves inputting the 9Fh command: the setting is
completed with only the first bus cycle input, and in subsequent bus cycles the manufacturer code 62h and device code
20h are repeatedly output in succession so long as the clock input is continued. Refer to "Figure 19-a Silicon ID read 1"
for the waveforms.
The second method involves inputting the ABh command. This command consists of the first through fourth bus cycles,
and the silicon ID can be read when 16 dummy bits and an 8-bit address are input after (ABh). When address A0 is "0",
the manufacturer code 62h is read in the fifth bus cycle, and the device code 20h is read in the sixth bus cycle. "Figure
19-b Silicon ID read 2" shows the timing waveforms. If, after the manufacturer code or device code has been read, the
SCK input is continued, the manufacturer code and device code are output alternately with each bus cycle. When
address A0 is "1", reading starts with device code 20h in the fifth bus cycle.

The data is output starting with the falling clock edge of the fourth bus cycle bit 0, and silicon ID reading ends at the

13. Hold Function
Using the HOLD pin, the hold function suspends serial communication (it places it in the hold status). "Figure 21
HOLD" shows the timing waveforms. The device is placed in the hold status at the falling HOLD edge while the logic
level of SCK is low, and it exits from the hold status at the rising HOLD edge. When the logic level of SCK is high,
HOLD must not rise or fall. The hold function takes effect when the logic level of CS is low, the hold status is exited
and serial communication is reset at the rising CS edge. In the hold status, the SO output is in the high-impedance state,
and SI and SCK are "don't care".
