GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IS25WQ040/020 (4M/2Mbit) Serial Flash memory offers a storage solution with flexibility and performance in a
simplified pin count package. ISSI’s “Industry Standard Serial Interface” is for systems that have limited space, pins,
and power. The IS25WQ040/020 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 also serve as multi-function I/O pins
in Dual and Quad modes (see pin descriptions). The IS25xQ series of Flash is ideal for code shadowing to RAM,
execute in place (XIP) operations, and storing non-volatile data.
The memory array is organized into programmable pages of 256-bytes each. The IS25WQ040/020 supports page
program mode where 1 to 256 bytes of data can be programmed into the memory with one command. Pages can be
erased in groups of 4K-byte sectors, 32K-byte blocks, 64K-byte blocks, and/or the entire chip. The uniform sectors
and blocks allow greater flexibility for a variety of applications requiring solid data retention.
The device supports the standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Dual/Quad output (SPI), and Dual/Quad I/O (SPI).
Clock frequencies of up to 104MHz for all read modes allow for equivalent clock rates of up to 416MHz (104MHz x 4)
allowing up to 52MBytes/S of throughput. These transfer rates can outperform 16-bit Parallel Flash memories allowing
for efficient memory access for a XIP (execute in place) operation. The IS25WQ040/020 is manufactured using
industry leading non-volatile memory technology and offered in industry standard lead-free packages. See Ordering
Information for the density and package combinations available.

2. PIN DESCRIPTIONS
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.
Serial Data Input, Serial Output, and IOs (SI, SO, IO0, and IO1):
SI (IO0),
SO (IO1)
INPUT/OUTPUT
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/Serial Data IO (IO3): Pauses serial communication by the master device
without resetting the serial sequence. When the QE bit of Status Register is set to
“1”, HOLD# pin is not available since it becomes IO3.
HOLD# (IO3)
INPUT/OUTPUT
The HOLD# pin allows the device to be paused while it is selected. 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. When the
QE bit of Status Register is set for Quad I/O, the HOLD# pin function is not available
and becomes IO3 for Multi-I/O SPI mode.

4. SPI MODES DESCRIPTION
Multiple IS25WQ040/020 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 for SPI mode. In SPI mode, 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.

The BP0, BP1, BP2, BP3 and SRWD are non-volatile memory cells that can be written by a Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction. The default value of the BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, 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: The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is read-only, and can be used to detect the progress or completion of a
program or erase operation. When the WIP bit is “0”, the device is ready for Write Status Register, program or
erase operation. When the WIP bit is “1”, the device is busy.
WEL bit: The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal write enable latch. When the
WEL is “0”, the write enable latch is disabled and all write operations described in Table 6.3 are inhibited. When
the WEL bit is “1”, write operations are allowed. The WEL bit is set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. Each
write register, program and erase instruction must be preceded by a WREN instruction. The WEL bit can be
reset by a Write Disable (WRDI) instruction. It will automatically be 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
write-protected. When the SRWD is set to “1” and the WP# is pulled low (VIL), the bits of Status Register
(SRWD, 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# 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# pin is tied directly to the power supply.

7. PROTECTION MODE
The IS25WQ040/020 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 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 IS25WQ040/020 also provides a software write protection feature. The Block Protection (BP3, BP2, BP1,
and BP0) bits allow part or the whole memory area to be write-protected.

8. DEVICE OPERATION
The IS25WQ040/020 utilizes an 8-bit instruction register. Refer to Table 8.1. 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). The input data on SI is latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCK)
after Chip Enable (CE#) is driven low (VIL). Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code
and is followed by address bytes, data bytes, or both address bytes and 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.

8.1 READ DATA OPERATION (RD, 03h)
The Read Data (RD) instruction is used to read memory contents of the IS25WQ040/020 at a maximum frequency
of 33MHz.
The RD instruction code is transmitted via the SI line, followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) of the first
memory location to be read. A total of 24 address bits are shifted in, but only AMSB (most significant bit) - A0 are
decoded. The remaining bits (A23 – AMSB) are ignored. The first byte address can be at any memory location. Upon
completion, any data on the SI will be ignored. Refer to Table 8.2 for the related Address Key.
The first byte data (D7 - D0) address 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 READ instruction. The address is automatically incremented 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 a Read Data 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.

8.2 FAST READ DATA OPERATION (FR, 0Bh)
The FAST_READ instruction is used to read memory data at up to a 104MHZ clock.
The FAST_READ instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) and a dummy byte (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 f CT, during the falling edge of
SCK.
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 FAST_READ instruction. The FAST_READ instruction
is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If a Fast Read Data 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.

8.3 HOLD OPERATION
HOLD# is used in conjunction with CE# to select the IS25WQ040/020. 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.
Timing graph can be referenced in AC Parameters Figure 9.3
8.4 FAST READ DUAL I/O OPERATION (FRDIO, BBh)
The FRDIO 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.
The FRDIO instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 – A0) and a mode byte, 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 continue to shift in alternating on the two lines. If AXh (X: don’t care) is input for the mode byte,
the device will enter AX read mode. In the AX read mode, the next instruction expected from the device will be
another FRDIO instruction and will not need the BBh instruction code so that it saves cycles as described in Figure
8.4. If the following mode byte is not set to AXh, the device will exit AX read mode. To avoid any I/O contention
problem, X should be Hi-Z.
Once address and mode byte are input the device will read out data at the specified address. 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 f CT,
during the falling edge of SCK. The first bit (MSB) is output on IO1, while simultaneously the second bit is output on
IO0. Figure 8.3 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 instruction. FRDIO instruction is
terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If the FRDIO 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.

8.5 FAST READ DUAL OUTPUT OPERATION (FRDO, 3Bh)
The FRDO instruction is used to read memory data on two output pins each at up to a 104MHZ clock.
The FRDO instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 – A0) and a dummy byte (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 instruction. FRDO instruction is
terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If a FRDO instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the instruction is
ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

8.6 FAST READ QUAD OUTPUT (FRQO, 6Bh)
The FRQO instruction is used to read memory data on four output pins each at up to a 104 MHz clock.
The FRQO instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 – A0) and a dummy byte (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 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.
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 instruction. FRQO instruction is
terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If a FRQO instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the instruction is
ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

8.7 FAST READ QUAD I/O OPERATION (FRQIO, EBh)
The FRQIO 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.
The FRQIO instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 – A0), a mode byte, and 4 dummy cycles,
transmitted via the IO3, IO2, IO0 and IO1 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. The mode byte contains the value AXh, where X is a “don’t care”
value. After four dummy clocks, 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 third bit is output on IO1, etc.
Figure 8.7 illustrates the timing sequence.
If the mode byte is AXh, the AX read mode is enabled. In the mode, the device expects that the next operation
will be another FRQIO and subsequent FRQIO execution skips command code. It saves command cycles as
described in Figure 8.8. The device will remain in this mode until the mode byte is different from AXh.
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 instruction. FRQIO instruction is
terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
If a FRQIO 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 PAGE PROGRAM OPERATION (PP, 02h)
The Page Program (PP) 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 (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits. A PP instruction which attempts to program into a page that is
write-protected will be ignored. Before the execution of PP instruction, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be
enabled through a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
The PP instruction code, three address bytes 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 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 in Status Register via a RDSR instruction. 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.

8.9 QUAD INPUT PAGE PROGRAM OPERATION (PPQ, 32h)
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. 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.
The Quad Input Page Program instruction code, three address bytes 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 in Status Register via a RDSR instruction. 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.

8.10 ERASE OPERATION
The memory array of the IS25WQ040/020 is organized into uniform 4 Kbyte sectors or 32K/64 Kbyte uniform
blocks (a block consists of sixteen adjacent sectors).
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.
8.11 SECTOR ERASE OPERATION (SER, D7h/20h)
A Sector Erase (SER) instruction erases a 4 Kbyte sector before the execution of a SER instruction, the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) must be set via a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. The WEL bit is reset automatically after
the completion of sector an erase operation.
A SER instruction is entered, after CE# is pulled low to select the device and stays low during the entire
instruction sequence The SER instruction code, and three address bytes 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 the Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction.
The progress or completion of the erase operation can be determined by reading the WIP bit in the Status
Register using a RDSR instruction. 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.

A Block Erase (BER) instruction erases a 32/64 Kbyte block of the IS25WQ040/020. Before the execution of a
BER instruction, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be set via a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. The WEL is
reset automatically after the completion of a block erase operation.
The BER instruction code and three address bytes are input via SI. Erase operation will start immediately after
the CE# is pulled high, otherwise the BER instruction will not be executed. The internal control logic
automatically handles the erase voltage and timing.

8.19 PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND & RESUME
The device allows the interruption of Sector-Erase, Block-Erase or Page-Program operations to conduct other
operations. 75h/B0h command for suspend and 7Ah/30h for resume will be used. Function Register bit1 (ESUS)
and bit2 (PSUS) are used to check whether or not the device is in suspend mode.
Suspend to read ready timing: 20µs
Resume to another suspend timing: 1.0ms
Note: It needs 500ns delay time from write command to suspend command
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, WEL bit will be disabled, therefore only read related, resume and reset commands
can be accepted. Refer to Table 8.3 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 in the Status Register or wait
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 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 8.3 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 in the Status Register or
wait tSUS.
PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME (PERRSM 7A/30h)
The Program/Erase Resume restarts a 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 in the Status Register, 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.

8.20 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), the standby current is reduced from ISB1 to ISB2. During 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 “B9h” as show in the figure 8.20. The CE# pin must be driven
high after the instruction has been latched. If this is not done the Power-Down will not be executed. After CE#
pin driven high, the power-down state will be entered within the time duration of tDP. While in the power-down
state only the Release from Power-down / RDID instruction, which restores the device to normal operation, will
be recognized. All other instructions are ignored. This includes 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 can support in SPI and Multi-I/O mode.

8.21 RELEASE DEEP POWER DOWN (RDPD, ABh)
The Release from Power-down / Read Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. To release the device
from the power-down state mode, the instruction is issued by driving the CE# pin low, shifting the instruction
code “ABh” and driving CE# high as shown in Figure 8.21.
Release from power-down will take the time duration of tRES1 before the device will resume normal operation
and other instructions are accepted. The CE# pin must remain high during the t RES1 time duration. If the
Release from Power-down / RDID instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process
(when WIP equals 1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

The Release from Power-down /read Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. It can support both SPI
and Multi-I/O mode. The Read Product Identification (RDID) instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit
Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as Table 8.4 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 ID1 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 CE# going high. The Device ID1 outputs repeatedly if
additional clock cycles are continuously sent on SCK while CE# is at low.

RDMDID instruction code is followed by two dummy bytes and one byte address (A7~A0), each bit being
latched-in on SI during the rising edge of SCK. If one byte address is initially set to A0 = 0, then the
Manufacturer ID1 is shifted out on SO with the MSB first, then the Device ID1 and Manufacturer ID2, with each
bit being shifted out during the falling edge of SCK. If one byte address is initially set to A0 = 1, then device ID1
will be read first, followed Manufacturer ID1 and Manufacturer ID2. The Manufacturer and Device IDs can be
read continuously alternating between the three until CE# is driven high.

To lock the Security Information Row (OTP memory), the Bit 0 of the OTP control byte (byte 256) is used to
permanently lock the OTP memory array.
- When the bit 0 of byte 256 = ’1’, the 256 bytes of the OTP memory array can be programmed.
- When the bit 0 of byte 256 = ‘0’, the 256 bytes of the OTP memory array are read-only and cannot be
programmed anymore.
Once a bit of the OTP memory has been programmed to ‘0’, it can no longer be set to ‘1’. Therefore, as soon
as bit 0 of byte 256 (control byte) is set to ‘0’, the 256 bytes of the OTP memory array become read-only in a
permanent way.

The IRP instruction code, three address bytes and program data (1 to 256 bytes) should be sequentially input
via the SI line. Three address bytes has to be input as specified in the Table 8.6 Information Row Address.
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 in Status Register via a RDSR instruction. If the WIP bit is
“1”, the program operation is still in progress. If WIP bit is “0”, the program operation has completed.
At least one program data should be input. The starting byte can be anywhere within the 256 addresses. The
data to be programmed is not allowed to exceed the last address. If the number of the data to be programmed
are less than the one between starting address and the last address, the data of all remaining addresses will be
unchanged.
After CE# pin is driven HIGH, the self-timed page program cycle (whose duration is tPOTP) is initiated. While the
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 program cycle, and it is “0” when the program
cycle is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit will
be reset.
If an IRP instruction is issued while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress the instruction is ignored
without having any effect on the cycle that is in progress
Note: Information Row is only one time programmable (OTP). Once Information Row is programmed, the data
cannot be altered.

8.28 INFORMATION ROW READ OPERATION (IRRD, 4Bh)
The IRRD instruction is used to read Security Information Row at up to a 33MHZ clock.
The IRRD instruction code is followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0), transmitted via the SI line, and 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 fCT, during the falling edge of SCK.
The address is automatically incremented after each byte of data is shifted out. When the last address is
reached, the address counter will not wrap around to the 000000h address since there is no rollover mechanism
in the IRRD instruction. This means that the IRRD instruction must be sent with a maximum of 256 bytes to read
and the data of the last address keeps being read on the SO pin once the last address is reached. 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

8.29 SECTOR LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTIONS
SECTOR UNLOCK OPERATION (SECUNLOCK, 26h)
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, BP1, BP2, and
BP3 bits in the Status Register. Only one sector can be enabled at any time. If many SECUNLOCK commands
are input, only the last sector designated by the last SECUNLOCK command will be unlocked. The instruction
code is followed by a 24-bit address specifying the target sector, but A0 through A11 are not decoded. The
remaining sectors within the same block remain as read-only.

SECTOR LOCK OPERATION (SECLOCK, 24h)
The Sector Lock command relocks a sector that was previously unlocked by the Sector Unlock command. The
instruction code does not require an address to be specified, as only one sector can be enabled at a time. The
remaining sectors within the same block remain in read-only mode.
