Publication Date: Apr. 2013 Revision: 1.3 1/37 ESMT F25L01PA GENERAL DESCRIPTION The F25L01PA is a 1Megabit, 3V only CMOS Serial Flash memory device. The device supports the standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and a Dual SPI. ESMT’s memory devices reliably store memory data even after 100,000 programming and erase cycles. The memory array can be organized into 512 programmable pages of 256 byte each. 1 to 256 byte can be programmed at a time with the Page Program instruction. The device features sector erase architecture. The memory array Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. is divided into 32 uniform sectors with 4K byte each; 2 uniform blocks with 64K byte each. Sectors can be erased individually without affecting the data in other sectors. Blocks can be erased individually without affecting the data in other blocks. Whole chip erase capabilities provide the flexibility to revise the data in the device. The device has Sector, Block or Chip Erase but no page erase. The sector protect/unprotect feature disables both program and erase operations in any combination of the sectors of the memory.

During an internal Erase or Program operation, the status register may be read only to determine the completion of an operation in progress.

This bit is automatically reset under the following conditions: The Busy bit determines whether there is an internal Erase or Program operation in progress.

The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is used to program the WP pin driven low (VIL), enables the Block-ProtectionLock-Down (BPL) bit.

To Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the active low state. See Figure 1 for Hold Condition waveform. activate the HOLD mode, CE must be in active low state. The Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in high impedance state while SI and SCK can be VIL or VIH. HOLD mode begins when the SCK active low state coincides with the falling edge of the HOLD signal. The HOLD mode ends when the HOLD signal’s rising edge coincides with the SCK active low state. If the falling edge of the HOLD signal does not coincide with the SCK active low state, then the device enters Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the active low state. If CE is driven active high during a Hold condition, it resets the internal logic of the device. As long as HOLD signal is low, the memory remains in the Hold condition. To resume communication with the device, HOLD must be driven active high, and CE must be driven active low. See Figure 22 for Hold timing. Similarly, if the rising edge of the HOLD signal does not coincide with the SCK active low state, then the device exits in SCK HO LD A c t iv e H o ld H old A c ti v e A c t iv e Figure 1: HOLD Condition Waveform WRITE PROTECTION The device provides software Write Protection. The Write-Protect pin ( WP ) enables or disables the lock-down function of the status register. The Block-Protection bits (BP2, BP1, BP0, TB and BPL) in the status register provide Write protection to the memory array and the status register. See Table 3 for Block-Protection description. Write Protect Pin ( WP ) Table 4: Conditions to Execute Write-Status-Register (WRSR) Instruction WP BPL Execute WRSR Instruction L 1 Not Allowed L 0 Allowed H X Allowed The Write-Protect ( WP ) pin enables the lock-down function of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register. When WP is driven low, the execution of the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is determined by the value of the BPL bit (see Table 4). When WP is high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled. Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc.

This allows data to be transferred from the device at twice the rate of standard SPI devices. This instruction is for quickly downloading code from Flash to RAM upon power-up or for applications that cache code- segments to RAM for execution.

The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Page Program cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions again. After the Page Program cycle has finished, the Write-Enable-Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. See Figure 7 for the Page Program sequence. must be executed.

After driving CE high, it must remain high during for the duration of TRES2, and then the device will resume normal operation and other instructions are accepted. The instruction is executed while an Erase, Program or WRSR cycle is in progress is ignored and has no effect on the cycle in progress. The instruction also can be used to read the 8-bit ElectronicSignature of the device on the SO pin. It is initiated by driving Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc.

Publication Date: Apr. 2013 Revision: 1.3 20/37 ESMT F25L01PA JEDEC Read-ID The JEDEC Read-ID instruction identifies the device as F25L01PA and the manufacturer as ESMT. The device information can be read from executing the 8-bit command, 9FH. Following the JEDEC Read-ID instruction, the 8-bit manufacturer’s ID, 8CH, is output from the device. After that, a 16-bit device ID is shifted out on the SO pin. Byte1, 8CH, identifies the manufacturer as ESMT. Byte2, 30H, identifies the memory type as SPI Flash. Byte3, 11H, identifies the device as F25L01PA. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 18. The JEDEC Read ID instruction is terminated by a low to high transition on CE at any time during data output. If no other command is issued after executing the JEDEC Read-ID instruction, issue a 00H (NOP) command before going into Standby Mode ( CE =VIH).

Once the device is in Read-ID mode, the manufacturer’s and device ID output data toggles between address 000000H and The Read-ID instruction (RDID) identifies the devices as F25L01PA and manufacturer as ESMT. This command is backward compatible to all ESMT SPI devices and should be used as default device identification when multiple versions of ESMT SPI devices are used in one design.
