5. SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Chip Select (/CS)
When this input signal is high, the device is deselected and serial data output pins are at high
impedance. Unless an internal program, erase or write status register cycle is in progress, the
device will be in the standby power mode (this is not the deep power-down mode). Driving Chip
Select (/CS) low enables the device, placing it in the active power mode. After power-up, a falling
edge on Chip Select (/CS) is required prior to the start of any instruction.
5.2 Serial Data Input, Output and IOs (DI, DO and IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3)
The FM25M32A supports standard SPI, Dual SPI, Quad SPI and QPI operation. Standard SPI
instructions use the serial DI (input) pin to write instructions, addresses or data to the device on the
rising edge of the Serial Clock (CLK) input pin. Standard SPI also uses the serial DO (output) to
read data or status from the device on the falling edge of CLK.
Dual, Quad SPI and QPI instructions use the serial IO pins to write instructions, addresses or data
to the device on the rising edge of CLK and read data or status from the device on the falling edge
of CLK. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 to
be set. When QE=1 the /WP pin becomes IO2 and /HOLD pin becomes IO3.
5.3 Write Protect (/WP)
The Write Protect (/WP) pin can be used to protect the Status Register against data modification.
Used in company with the Status Register’s Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits and
Status Register Protect (SRP) bits, a portion or the entire memory array can be hardware
protected. The /WP pin is active low. When the QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O, the
/WP pin (Hardware Write Protect) function is not available since this pin is used for IO2. See figure
1a, 1b, 1c and 1d for the pin configuration of Quad I/O and QPI operation.
5.4 HOLD (/HOLD)
The /HOLD pin is used to pause any serial communications with the device without deselecting the
device. When /HOLD goes low, while /CS is low, the DO pin will be at high impedance and signals
on the DI and CLK pins will be ignored (don’t care). When /HOLD goes high, device operation can
resume. The /HOLD function can be useful when multiple devices are sharing the same SPI
signals. The /HOLD pin is active low. When the QE bit of Status Register-2 is set Quad I/O, the
/HOLD pin function is not available since this pin used for IO3. See figure 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d for the
pin configuration of Quad I/O operation.
5.5 Serial Clock (CLK)
This input signal provides the timing for the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data
present at serial data input are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (CLK). Data are shifted
out on the falling edge of the Serial Clock (CLK).

7.1 Standard SPI Instructions
The FM25M32A features a serial peripheral interface on four signals: Serial Clock (CLK). Chip
Select (/CS), Serial Data Input (DI) and Serial Data Output (DO). Standard SPI instructions use the
DI input pin to serially write instructions, addresses or data to the device on the rising edge of CLK.
The DO output pin is used to read data or status from the device on the falling edge of CLK.
SPI bus operation Modes 0 (0, 0) and 3 (1, 1) are supported. The primary difference between
Mode 0 and Mode 3 concerns the normal state of the CLK signal when the SPI bus master is in
standby and data is not being transferred to the Serial Flash. For Mode 0 the CLK signal is
normally low on the falling and rising edges of /CS. For Mode 3 the CLK signal is normally high on
the falling and rising edges of /CS.
7.2 Dual SPI Instructions
The FM25M32A supports Dual SPI operation. This instruction allows data to be transferred to or
from the device at two times the rate of the standard SPI. The Dual Read instruction is ideal for
quickly downloading code to RAM upon power-up (code-shadowing) or for executing non-speedcritical code directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Dual SPI instructions the DI and DO pins
become bidirectional I/0 pins; IO0 and IO1.
7.3 Quad SPI Instructions
The FM25M32A supports Quad SPI operation. This instruction allows data to be transferred to or
from the device at four times the rate of the standard SPI. The Quad Read instruction offers a
significant improvement in continuous and random access transfer rates allowing fast codeshadowing to RAM or execution directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Quad SPI instruction
the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the /WP and /HOLD pins become IO2
and IO3 respectively. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status
Register-2 to be set.

FM25M32A
7.4 QPI Function
The FM25M32A supports Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) operation when the device is switched
from Standard/ Dual/ Quad SPI mode to QPI mode using the “Enable QPI (38h)” instruction. To
enable QPI mode, the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 is required to be set.
When using QPI instructions, the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the /WP
and /HOLD pins become IO2 and IO3 respectively. See Figure 3 for the device operation modes.
The typical SPI protocol requires that the byte-long instruction code being shifted into the device
only via DI pin in eight serial clocks. The QPI mode utilizes all four IO pins to input the instruction
code, thus only two serial clocks are required. This can significantly reduce the SPI instruction
overhead and improve system performance in an XIP environment. Standard/ Dual/ Quad SPI
mode and QPI mode are exclusive. Only one mode can be active at any given time, “Enable QPI”
and “Disable QPI/ Disable QPI 2” instructions are used to switch between these two modes. Upon
power-up or after software reset using “Reset (99h) instruction, the default state of the device is
Standard/ Dual/ Quad SPI mode.
7.5 Hold Function
The /HOLD pin is used to pause a serial sequence of the SPI flash memory without resetting the
clocking sequence. To enable the /HOLD mode, the /CS must be in low state. The /HOLD mode
effects on with the falling edge of the /HOLD signal with CLK being low. The HOLD mode ends on
the rising edge of /HOLD signal with CLK being low.
In other words, /HOLD mode can’t be entered unless CLK is low at the falling edge of the /HOLD
signal. And /HOLD mode can’t be exited unless CLK is low at the rising edge of the /HOLD signal.
See Figure.4 for HOLD condition waveform.
If /CS is driven 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 re-work communication with
the device, /HOLD must go high, and /CS must go low. See 12.11 for HOLD timing.

8. WRITE PROTECTION
To protect inadvertent writes by the possible noise, several means of protection are applied to the
Flash memory.
8.1 Write protect Features

While Power-on reset, all operations are disabled and no instruction is recognized.

An internal time delay of tPUW can protect the data against inadvertent changes while the
power supply is outside the operating specification. This includes the Write Enable, Page
program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Security Register and the Write Status
Register instructions.

For data changes, Write Enable instruction must be issued to set the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit to “0”. Power-up, Completion of Write Disable, Write Status Register, Page program,
Sector Erase, Block Erase and Chip Erase are subjected to this condition.

Using setting the Status Register protect (SRP) and Block protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, and
BP0) bits a portion of memory can be configured as reading only called software protection.

Write Protect (/WP) pin can control to change the Status Register under hardware control.

The Deep Power Down mode provides extra software protection from unexpected data
changes as all instructions are ignored under this status except for Release Deep Powerdown instruction.

One time program(OTP) mode provide protection mode from program/erase operation

9. STATUS REGISTER
The Read Status Register instruction can be used to provide status on the availability of the Flash
memory array, if the device is write enabled or disabled the state of write protection and the Quad
SPI setting. The Write Status Register instruction can be used to configure the devices writes
protection features and Quad SPI setting. Write access to the Status Register is controlled by in
some cases of the /WP pin.

9.1 BUSY
BUSY is a read only bit in the status register (S0) that is set to a 1 state when the device is
executing a Page Program, Erase, Write Status Register or Write Security Register instruction.
During this time the device will ignore further instruction except for the Read Status Register and
Erase / Program Suspend instruction (see tW, tPP, tSE, tBE1, tBE2 and tCE in AC Characteristics).
When the Program, Erase, Write Status Register or Write Security Register instruction has
completed, the BUSY bit will be cleared to a 0 state indicating the device is ready for further
instructions.
9.2 Write Enable Latch (WEL)
Write Enable Latch (WEL) is a read only bit in the status register (S1) that is set to a 1 after
executing a Write Enable instruction. The WEL status bit is cleared to a 0 when device is write
disabled. A write disable state occurs upon power-up or after any of the following instructions:
Write Disable, Page Program, Erase and Write Status Register.
9.3 Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0)
The Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register (S4,
S3, and S2) that provide write protection control and status. Block protect bits can be set using the
Write Status Register Instruction (see tW in AC characteristics). All, none or a portion of the
memory array can be protected from Program and Erase instructions (see Status Register Memory
Protection table). The factory default setting for the Block Protection Bits is 0, none of the array
protected.
9.4 Top/Bottom Block protect (TB)
The Top/Bottom bit (TB) is non-volatile bits in the status register (S5) that controls if the Block
Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect from the Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array as
shown in the Status Register Memory Protection table. The factory default setting is TB=0. The TB
bit can be set with the Write Status Register Instruction depending on the state of the SRP0, SRP1
and WEL bits.
9.5 Sector/Block Protect (SEC)
The Sector protect bit (SEC) is non-volatile bits in the status register (S6) that controls if the Block
Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect 4KB Sectors (SEC=1)or 64KB Blocks (SEC=0) in the Top
(TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array as shown in the Status Register Memory protection table.
The default setting is SEC=0.

9.6 Status Register protect (SRP1, SRP0)
The Status Register Protect bits (SRP1 and SRP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status
register (S8 and S7). The SRP bits control the method of write protection: software protection,
hardware protection, power supply lock-down or one time programmable (OTP) protection.

Note:
1. When SRP1, SRP0=(1,0), a power-down, power-up cycle will change SRP1, SRP0 to(0,0) state.
9.7 Quad Enable (QE)
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (S9) that allows
Quad operation. When the QE bit is set to a 0 state (factory default) the /WP pin and /Hold are
enabled. When the QE pin is set to a 1 the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled.
WARNING : The QE bit should never be set to a 1 during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation
if the /WP or /HOLD pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground.
9.8 Complement Protect (CMP)
The Complement Protect bit (CMP) is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (S14). It is
used in conjunction with SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits to provide more flexibility for the array
protection. Once CMP is set to 1, previous array protection set by SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0 will
be reversed. For instance, when CMP=0, a top 4KB sector can be protected while the rest of the
array is not; when CMP=1, the top 4KB sector will become unprotected while the rest of the array
become read-only. Please refer to the Status Register Memory Protection table for details. The
default setting is CMP=0.
9.9 Erase/Program Suspend Status (SUS)
The Suspend Status bit (SUS) is a read only bit in the status register (S15) that is set to 1 after
executing an Erase/Program Suspend (75h) instruction. The SUS status bit is cleared to 0 by
Erase/Program Resume (7Ah) instruction as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.

10. INSTRUCTIONS
The SPI instruction set of the FM25M32A consists of thirty eight basic instructions and the QPI
instruction set of the FM25M32A consists of thirty one basic instructions that are fully controlled
through the SPI bus (see Instruction Set table). Instructions are initiated with the falling edge of
Chip Select (/CS). The first byte of data clocked into the input pins (DI or IO [3:0]) provides the
instruction code. Data on the DI input is sampled on the rising edge of clock with most significant
bit (MSB) first.
Instructions are completed with the rising edge of edge /CS. Clock relative timing diagrams for
each instruction are included in figures 6 through 44. All read instructions can be completed after
any clocked bit. However, all instructions that Write, Program or Erase must complete on a byte
(/CS driven high after a full 8-bit have been clocked) otherwise the instruction will be terminated.
This feature further protects the device from inadvertent writes. Additionally, while the memory is
being programmed or erased, or when the Status Register is being written, all instructions except
for Read Register will be ignored until the program or erase cycle has completed.

Data bytes are shifted with Most Significant Bit first. Byte fields with data in parenthesis
“()” indicate data being read from the device on the IO pin.
SR = status register,
The Status Register contents and Device ID will repeat continuously until /CS terminates
the instruction.
At least one byte of data input is required for Page Program, Quad Page Program and
Program Security Register, up to 256 bytes of data input. If more than 256 bytes of data
are sent to the device, the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page and
overwrite previously sent data.
See Manufacturer and Device Identification table for Device ID information.

10.6 Write Enable (06h)
Write Enable instruction is for setting the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register. The
WEL bit must be set prior to every Program, Erase and Write Status Register instruction. To enter
the Write Enable instruction, /CS goes low prior to the instruction “06h” into Data Input (DI) pin on
the rising edge of CLK, and then driving /CS high.

This gives more flexibility to change the system configuration and memory protection schemes
quickly without waiting for the typical non-volatile bit write cycles or affecting the endurance of the
Status Register non-volatile bits. To write the volatile values into the Status Register bits, the Write
Enable for Volatile Status Register (50h) instruction must be issued prior to a Write Status Register
(01h) instruction. Write Enable for Volatile Status Register instruction (Figure 7) will not set the
Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. Once Write Enable for Volatile Status Register is set, a Write Enable
instruction should not have been issued prior to setting Write Status Register instruction (01h or
31h).

10.9 Read Status Register-1 (05h) and Read Status Register-2 (35h)
The Read Status Register instructions are to read the Status Register. The Read Status Register
can be read at any time (every Program, Erase, Write Status Register and Write Security Register
cycle is in progress). It is recommended to check the BUSY bit before sending a new instruction
when a Program, Erase, Write Status Register or Write Status Register operation is in progress.
The instruction is entered by driving /CS low and sending the instruction code “05h” for Status
Register-1 or “35h” for Status Register-2 into the DI pin on the rising edge of CLK. The status
register bits are then shifted out on the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit
(MSB) first as shown in (figure 9). The Status Register can be read continuously. The instruction is
completed by driving /CS high.

10.10 Write Status Register (01h)
The Write Status Register instruction is to write only non-volatile Status Register-1 bits (SRP0,
SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) and Status Register-2 bits (CMP, QE and SRP1). All other Status
Register bit locations are read-only and will not be affected by the Write Status Register instruction.
A Write Enable instruction must previously have been issued prior to setting Write Status Register
Instruction (Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). Once write is enabled, the instruction is entered
by driving /CS low, sending the instruction code, and then writing the status register data byte as
illustrated in figure 10.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth or sixteenth bit of data that is clocked in. If this is
not done the Write Status Register instruction will not be executed. If /CS is driven high after the
eighth clock, the QE and SRP1 bits will be cleared to 0. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed
Write Status Register cycle will commence for a time duration of tw (See AC Characteristics).
While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still
be accessed to check the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Write Status
Register cycle and a 0 when the cycle is finished and ready to accept other instructions again.
When the BUSY bit is asserted, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in Status Register will be cleared
to 0.

The Write Status Register-2 instruction is to write only non-volatile Status Register-2 bits (CMP, QE
and SRP1).
A Write Enable instruction must previously have been issued prior to setting Write Status Register
Instruction (Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). Once write is enabled, the instruction is entered
by driving /CS low, sending the instruction code, and then writing the status register data byte as

10.12 Read Data (03h)
The Read Data instruction is to read data out from the device. The instruction is initiated by driving
the /CS pin low and then sending the instruction code “03h” with following a 24-bit address (A23A0) into the DI pin. After the address is received, the data byte of the addressed memory location
will be shifted out on the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first. The
address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after byte of data is shifted out
allowing for a continuous stream of data. This means that the entire memory can be accessed with
a single instruction as long as the clock continues. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.
The Read Data instruction sequence is shown in (figure 12). If a Read Data instruction is issued
while an Erase, Program or Write Status Register cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the instruction is
ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle. The Read Data instruction allows clock
rates from D.C to a maximum of fR (see AC Electrical Characteristics).

10.13 Fast Read (0Bh)
The Fast Read instruction is high speed reading mode that it can operate at the highest possible
frequency of FR. The address is latched on the rising edge of the CLK. After the 24-bit address, this
is accomplished by adding “dummy” clocks as shown in (figure 13). The dummy clocks means the
internal circuits require time to set up the initial address. During the dummy clocks, the data value
on the DO pin is a “don’t care”. Data of each bit shifts out on the falling edge of CLK.

Fast Read in QPI Mode
When QPI mode is enabled, the number of dummy clock is configured by the “Set Read
Parameters (C0h)” instruction to accommodate wide range applications with different needs for
either maximum Fast Read frequency or minimum data access latency. Depending on the Read
Parameter Bit P[4] setting, the number of dummy clocks can be configured as either 4, or 6. The
default number of dummy clocks upon power up or after a Reset instruction is 4. (Please refer to

10.14 Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh)
By using two pins (IO0 and IO1, instead of just IO0), this allows data to be transferred from the
FM25M32A at twice the rate of standard SPI devices. The Fast Read Dual Output instruction is
ideal for quickly downloading code from Flash to RAM upon power-up or for application that cache
code-segments to RAM for execution.
The Fast Read Dual Output instruction can operate at the highest possible frequency of F R (see AC
Electrical Characteristics). After the 24-bit address, this is accomplished by adding eight “dummy”
clocks as shown in (figure 14). The dummy clocks allow the internal circuits additional time for
setting up the initial address. During the dummy clocks, the data value on the DO pin is a “don’t
care”. However, the IO0 pin should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out
clock.

10.15 Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh)
By using four pins (IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3), The Fast Read Quad Output instruction allows data to
be transferred from the FM25M32A at four times the rate of standard SPI devices.
A Quad enable of Status Register-2 must be executed before the device will accept the Fast Read
Quad Output instruction (Status Register bit QE must equal 1).
The Fast Read Quad Output instruction can operate at the highest possible frequency of F R (see
AC Electrical Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight “dummy” clocks after the 24bit address as shown in (figure 15). The dummy clocks allow the internal circuits additional time for
setting up the initial address. During the dummy clocks, the data value on the DO pin is a “don’t
care”. However, the IO0 pin should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out
clock.

10.16 Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh)
The Fast Read Dual I/O instruction reduces cycle overhead through double access using two IO
pins: IO0 and IO1.
Continuous read mode
The Fast Read Dual I/O instruction can further reduce cycle overhead through setting the Mode
bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0). The upper nibble of the Mode (M7-4) controls the
length of the next Fast Read Dual I/O instruction through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte
instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the Mode (M3-0) are don’t care (“X”), However, the IO
pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.
If the Mode bits (M7-0) equal “Ax” hex, then the next Fast Dual I/O instruction (after /CS is raised
and then lowered) does not require the instruction (BBh) code, as shown in (figure 16b). This
reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the address to be immediately
entered after /CS is asserted low. If Mode bits (M7-0) are any value other “Ax” hex, the next
instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus
returning to normal operation. A Mode Bit Reset instruction can be used to reset Mode Bits (M7-0)
before issuing normal instructions.

10.17 Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh)
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction reduces cycle overhead through quad access using four IO
pins: IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to enable
the Fast read Quad I/O Instruction.
Continuous read mode
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
Mode bits (M7-0) with following the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in (figure 17a). The upper
nibble of the Mode (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction through
the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the Mode (M3-0)
are don’t care (“X”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the
first data out clock.
If the Mode bits (M7-0) equal “Ax” hex, then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction (after /CS is
raised and then lowered) does not require the EBh instruction code, as shown in (figure 17b). This
reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the address to be immediately
entered after /CS is asserted low. If the Mode bits (M7-0) are any value other than “Ax” hex, the
next instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus
retuning normal operation. A Mode Bit Reset can be used to reset Mode Bits (M7-0) before issuing
normal instructions.

Wrap Around in SPI mode
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction can also be used to access specific portion within a page by
issuing a “Set Burst with Wrap” (77h) instruction prior Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction. The
“Set Burst with Wrap” (77h) instruction can either enable or disable the “Wrap Around” feature for
the following Fast Read Quad I/O instruction.
When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the data being accessed can be limited to an 8/16/32/64-byte
section of a 256-byte page. The output data starts at the initial address specified in the instruction,
once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will wrap around to
the beginning boundary automatically until /CS is pulled high to terminate the instruction.
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 instructions. (Please refer to 10.36 Set Burst with Wrap).
Fast Read Quad I/O in QPI mode
When QPI mode in enabled, the number of dummy clocks is configured by the “Set Read
Parameters (C0h)” instruction to accommodate a wide range applications with different needs for
either maximum Fast Read frequency or minimum data access latency. Depending on the Read
Parameter Bits P [4] setting, the number of dummy clocks can be configured as either 4 or 6. The
default number of dummy clocks upon power up or after a Reset (99h) instruction is 4.
“Continuous Read Mode” feature is also available in QPI mode for Fast Read Quad I/O instruction.
In QPI mode, the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M7-0 are also considered as dummy clocks. In the
default setting, the data output will follow the Continuous Read Mode bits immediately.
“Wrap Around” feature is not available in QPI mode for Fast Read Quad I/O instruction. To perform
a read operation with fixed data length wrap around in QPI mode, a “Burst Read with Wrap” (0Ch)
instruction must be used. (Please refer to 10.37 Burst Read with Wrap).

10.18 Page Program (02h)
The Page Program instruction is for programming the memory to be “0”. A Write Enable instruction
must be issued before the device accept the Page Program Instruction (Status Register bit WEL=
1). After the Write Enable instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch
(WEL). The instruction is entered by driving the /CS pin low and then sending the instruction code
“02h” with following a 24-bits address (A23-A0) and at least one data byte, into the DI pin. The /CS
pin must be driven low for the entire time of the instruction while data is being sent to the device.
(Please refer to figure 18).
If an entire 256 byte page is to be programmed, the last address byte (the 8 least significant
address bits) should be set to 0. If the last address byte is not zero, and the number of clocks
exceeds the remaining page length, the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page. In some
cases, less than 256 bytes (a partial page) can be programmed without having any effect on other
bytes within the same page. One condition to perform a partial page program is that the number of
clocks cannot exceed the remaining page length. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device the
addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page and overwrite previously sent data.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched. If this is not
done the Page Program instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed
Page Program instruction will commence for a time duration of tPP (See AC Characteristics). While
the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be accessed
for checking the status of the BUSY bit. 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.
When the BUSY bit is asserted, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared
to 0. The Page Program instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by the
Protect (CMP, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits.

10.19 Quad Data Input Page Program (32h)
The Quad Data Input Page Program instruction is to program the memory as being “0” at
previously erased memory areas. The Quad Data Input Page Program takes four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2
and IO3 as and data input, which can improve programmer performance and the effectiveness of
application of lower clock less than 5MHz. System using faster clock speed will not get more
benefit for the Quad Data Input Page Program as the required internal page program time is far
more than the time data clock-in.
To use Quad Data Input Page Program the QE bit must be set, A Write Enable instruction must be
executed before the device will accept the Quad Data Input Page Program instruction (Status
Register-1, WEL=1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and then sending the
instruction code “32h” with following a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and at least one data, into the IO
pins. The /CS pin must be held low for the entire length of the instruction while data is being sent to
the device. All other functions of Quad Data Input Page Program are perfectly same as standard
Page Program. (Please refer to figure 19).

10.20 Quad Page Program (33h)
The Quad Page Program instruction is to program the memory as being “0” at previously erased
memory areas. The Quad Page Program takes four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2 and IO3 as address and data
input, which can improve programmer performance and the effectiveness of application of lower
clock less than 5MHz. System using faster clock speed will not get more benefit for the Quad Page
Program as the required internal page program time is far more than the time data clock-in.
To use Quad Page Program, the Quad Enable bit must be set, A Write Enable instruction must be
executed before the device will accept the Quad Page Program instruction (Status Register-1,
WEL=1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low then sending the instruction code
“33h” with following a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and at least one data, into the IO pins. The /CS pin
must be held low for the entire length of the instruction while data is being sent to the device. All
other functions of Quad Page Program are perfectly same as standard Page Program. (Please

10.21 Sector Erase (20h)
The Sector Erase instruction is to erase the data of the selected sector as being “1”. The
instruction is used for 4K-byte sector. Prior to the Sector Erase Instruction, the Write Enable
instruction must be issued. The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the
instruction code “20h” followed a 24-bit sector address (A23-A0). (Please refer to figure 21). The
/CS pin must go high after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched in, otherwise, the Sector
Erase instruction will not be executed. After /CS goes high, the self-timed Sector Erase instruction
will commence for a time duration of tSE (See AC Characteristics).
While the Sector Erase cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be
accessed for checking the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Sector Erase
cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept other
instructions again. When the BUSY bit is asserted, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status
Register is cleared to 0. The sector Erase instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is
protected by the Protect (CMP, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits.

10.22 32KB Block Erase (52h)
The Block Erase instruction is to erase the data of the selected block as being “1”. The instruction
is used for 32K-byte Block erase operation. Prior to the Block Erase Instruction, a Write Enable
instruction must be issued. The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the
instruction code “52h” followed a 24-bit block address (A23-A0). (Please refer to figure 22). The
/CS pin must go high after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched in, otherwise, the Block
Erase instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Block Erase
instruction will commence for a time duration of tBE1 (See AC Characteristics).
While the Block Erase cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be read
the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Block Erase cycle and becomes a 0
when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions again. When the
BUSY bit is asserted, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The
Block erase instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by the Protect (CMP,
SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits.

10.25 Erase / Program Suspend (75h)
The Erase/Program Suspend instruction allows the system to interrupt a Sector Erase, Block
Erase operation or a Page Program, Quad Data Input Page Program, Quad Page Program
operation.
Erase Suspend is valid only during the Sector or Block erase operation. The Write Status Register1(01h), Write Status Register-2 (31h) instruction and Erase instructions (20h, 52h, D8h, C7h, 60h)
are not allowed during Erase Suspend. During the Chip Erase operation, the Erase Suspend
instruction is ignored.
Program Suspend is valid only during the Page Program, Quad Data Input Page Program or Quad
Page Program operation. The Write Status Register-1 (01h), Write Status Register-2 (31h)
instruction and Program instructions (02h, 32h and 33h) are not allowed during Program Suspend.
The Erase/Program Suspend instruction “75h” will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in
the Status Register equals to 0 and the BUSY bit equals to 1 while a Sector or Block Erase or a
Page Program operation is on-going. If the SUS bit equals to 1 or the BUSY bit equals to 0, the
Suspend instruction will be ignored by the device. A maximum of time of “tSUS” (See AC
Characteristics) is required to suspend the erase or program operation. After Erase/Program
Suspend, the SUS bit in the Status Register will be set from 0 to 1 immediately and The BUSY bit
in the Status Register will be cleared from 1 to 0 within “tSUS”. For a previously resumed
Erase/Program operation, it is also required that the Suspend instruction “75h” is not issued earlier
than a minimum of time of “tSUS” following the preceding Resume instruction “7Ah”.
Unexpected power off during the Erase/Program suspend state will reset the device and release
the suspend state. SUS bit in the Status Register will also reset to 0. The data within the page,
sector or block that was being suspended may become corrupted. It is recommended for the user
to implement system design techniques against the accidental power interruption and preserve
data integrity during erase/program suspend state. (Please refer to figure 25).

10.26 Erase / Program Resume (7Ah)
The Erase/Program Resume instruction “7Ah” is to re-work the Sector or Block Erase operation or
the Page Program operation upon an Erase/Program Suspend. The Resume instruction “7Ah” will
be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the Status Register equals to 1 and the BUSY bit
equals to 0. After issued, the SUS bit will be cleared from 1 to 0 immediately, the BUSY 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. If the SUS bit equals to 0 or the BUSY bit equals to 1, the
Resume instruction “7Ah” will be ignored by the device.
Resume instruction cannot be accepted if the previous Erase/Program Suspend operation was
interrupted by unexpected power off. It is also required that a subsequent Erase/Program Suspend
instruction not to be issued within a minimum of time of “tSUS” following a previous Resume
instruction. (Please refer to figure 26).

10.27 Deep Power-down (B9h)
Executing the Deep Power-down instruction is the best way to put the device in the lowest power
consumption. The Deep Power-down instruction reduces the standby current (from ICC1 to ICC2,
as specified in AC characteristics). The instruction is entered by driving the /CS pin low with
following the instruction code “B9h”. (Please refer to figure 27).
The /CS pin must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the latest eighth bit of instruction code
been latched-in); otherwise, the Deep Power-down instruction is not executed. After /CS goes high,
it requires a delay of tDP and the Deep Power-down mode is entered. While in the Release Deep
Power-down / Device ID instruction, which restores the device to normal operation, will be
recognized. All other instructions are ignored including the Read Status Register instruction, which
is always available during normal operation. Deep Power-down Mode automatically stops at
Power-Down, and the device always Power-up in the Standby Mode.

10.28 Release Deep Power-down / Device ID (ABh)
The Release Deep Power-down / Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. It can be
used to release the device from the Deep Power-down state or obtain the device identification (ID).
The instruction is issued by driving the /CS pin low, sending the instruction code “ABh” and driving
/CS high as shown in figure 28a & 28b. Release from Deep Power-down require the time duration
of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) for re-work a normal operation and accepting other instructions.
The /CS pin must keep high during the tRES1 time duration.
To obtain the Device ID, instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and sending the
instruction code “ABh” with following 3-dummy bytes. The Device ID bits are then shifted on the
falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in figure 28c & 28d. After /CS is
driven high it must keep high for a time duration of tRES2 (See AC Characteristics). The Device ID
can be read continuously. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.
If the Release from Deep Power-down /Device ID instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or
Write cycle is in process (when BUSY equals 1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any
effects on the current cycle.

10.33 Enable QPI (38h)
The FM25M32A support both Standard/Dual/Quad Serial Peripheral interface (SPI) and Quad
Peripheral Interface (QPI). However, SPI mode and QPI mode cannot be used at the same time.
Enable QPI instruction is the only way to switch the device from SPI mode to QPI mode.
In order to switch the device to QPI mode, the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register 2 must be
set to 1 first, and an Enable QPI instruction must be issued. If the Quad Enable (QE) bit is 0, the
Enable QPI instruction will be ignored and the device will remain in SPI mode.
After power-up, the default state of the device is SPI mode. See the instruction Set Table 1-3 for all
the commands supported in SPI mode and the instruction Set Table 4 for all the instructions
supported in QPI mode.
When the device is switched from SPI mode to QPI mode, the existing Write Enable and
Program/Erase Suspend status, and the Wrap Length setting will remain unchanged.

10.35 Word Read Quad I/O (E7h)
The Quad I/O dramatically reduces instruction overhead allowing faster random access for code
execution (XIP) directly from the Quad SPI. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must
be set to enable the Word Read Quad I/O instruction. The lowest Address bit (A0) must equal 0
and only two dummy clocks are required prior to the data output.
Continuous Read Mode
The Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 35a.
The upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Word Read Quad I/O instruction
through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the
(M[3:0]) are don’t care (“X”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling
edge of the first data out clock.
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M[7-4]= Ah, then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction (after
/CS is raised and then lowered) does not require the E7h instruction code, as shown in Figure 35b.
This reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be
immediately entered after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M[7:4] do not
equal to Ah(1,0,1,0) the next instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first
byte instruction code, thus returning to normal operation.

Wrap Around in SPI mode
The Word Read Quad I/O instruction can also be used to access a specific portion within a page
by issuing a “Set Burst with Wrap” (77h) instruction prior to E7h. The “Set Burst with Wrap” (77h)
instruction can either enable or disable the “Wrap Around” feature for the following E7h commands.
When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the output data starts at the initial address specified in the
instruction, once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will
wrap around to the beginning boundary automatically until /CS is pulled high to terminate the
instruction.
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
read instructions.
The “Set Burst with Wrap” instruction allows three “Wrap Bits”, W6-4 to be set. The W4 bit is used
to enable or disable the “Wrap Around” operation while W6-5 is used to specify the length of the
wrap around section within a page. See 10.36 for detail descriptions.
Rev.04 (Nov.16.2011)

10.36 Set Burst with Wrap (77h)
The Set Burst with Wrap (77h) instruction is used in conjunction with “Fast Read Quad I/O” and
“Word Read Quad I/O” instructions to access a fixed length of 8/16/32/64-byte section within a
256-byte page. Certain applications can benefit from this feature and improve the overall system
code execution performance. Before the device will accept the Set Burst with Wrap instruction, a
Quad enable of Status Register-2 must be executed (Status Register bit QE must equal 1).
The Set Burst with Wrap instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and then shifting the
instruction code “77h” followed by 24 dummy bits and 8 “Wrap Bits”, W7-0. The instruction
sequence is shown in Set Burst with Wrap Instruction Sequence. Wrap bit W7 and W3-0 are not
used.

Once W6-4 is set by a Set Burst with Wrap instruction, all the following “Fast Read Quad I/O” and
Word Read Quad I/O instructions will use the W6-4 setting to access the 8/16/32/64-byte section
within any page. To exit the “Wrap Around” function and return to normal read operation, another
Set Burst with Wrap instruction should be issued to set W4 = 1. The default value of W4 upon
power on is 1. In the case of a system Reset while W4 = 0, it is recommended that the controller
issues a Set Burst with Wrap instruction or Reset (99h) instruction to reset W4 = 1 prior to any
normal Read instructions since FM25M32A does not have a hardware Reset Pin.

10.37 Burst Read with Wrap (0Ch)
The “Burst Read with Wrap (0Ch)” instruction provides an alternative way to perform the read
operation with “Wrap Around” in QPI mode. The instruction is similar to the “Fast Read (0Bh)”
instruction in QPI mode, except the addressing of the read operation will “Wrap Around” to the
beginning boundary of the “Wrap Length” once the ending boundary is reached.
The “Wrap Length” and the number of dummy of clocks can be configured by the “Set Read
Parameters (C0h)” instruction.

10.38 Set Read Parameters (C0h)
In QPI mode, to accommodate a wide range of applications with different needs for either
maximum read frequency or minimum data access latency, “Set Read Parameters (C0h)”
instruction can be used to configure the number of dummy clocks for “Fast Read (0Bh)”, “Fast
Read Quad I/O (EBh)” & “Burst Raed with Wrap (0Ch)” instructions, and to configure the number
of bytes of “Wrap Length” for the “Burst Read with Wrap (0Ch)” instruction.
In Standard SPI mode, the “Set Read Parameters (C0h)” instruction is not accepted. The dummy
clocks for various Fast Read instructions in Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode are fixed, please refer
to the instruction. Table 10.2 - 10.5 for details. The “Wrap Length” is set by W6-5 bit in the “Set
Burst with Wrap (77h)” instruction. This setting will remain unchanged when the device is switched
from Standard SPI mode to QPI mode.
The default “Wrap Length” after a power up or a Reset instruction is 8 bytes, the default number of
dummy clocks is 4.

10.39 Enable Reset (66h) and Reset (99h)
Because of the small package and the limitation on the number of pins, the FM25M32A provide a
software Reset instruction instead of a dedicated RESET pin.
Once the Reset instruction is accepted, any on-going internal operations 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 (WEL) status, Program/Erase Suspend status,
Continuous Read Mode bit setting, Read parameter setting and Wrap bit setting.
“Enable Reset (66h)” and “Reset (99h)” instructions can be issued in either SPI mode or QPI mode.
To avoid accidental reset, both instructions must be issued in sequence. Any other instructions
other than “Reset (99h)” after the “Enable (66h)” instruction will disable the “Reset Enable” state. A
new sequence of “Enable Reset (66h)” and “Reset (99h)” is needed to reset the device. Once the
Reset instruction is accepted by the device will take approximately tRST= 30us to reset. During
this period, no instruction will be accepted.
Data corruption may happen if there is an on-going or suspended internal Erase or Program
operation when Reset instruction sequence is accepted by device. It is recommended to check the
BUSY bit and the SUS bit in Status Register before issuing the Reset instruction sequence.

10.40 Read Serial Flash Discovery Parameter (5Ah)
The Read Serial Flash Discovery Parameter (SFDP) instruction allows reading the Serial Flash
Discovery Parameter area (SFDP). This SFDP area is composed of 2048 read-only bytes
containing operating characteristics and vendor specific information. The SFDP area is factory
programmed. If the SFDP area is blank, the device is shipped with all the SFDP bytes at FFh. If
only a portion of the SFDP area is written to, the portion not used is shipped with bytes in erased
state (FFh). The instruction sequence for the read SFDP has the same structure as that of a Fast
Read instruction. First, the device is selected by driving Chip Select (/CS) Low. Next, the 8-bit
instruction code (5Ah) and the 24-bit address are shifted in, followed by 8 dummy clock cycles.
The bytes of SFDP content are shifted out on the Serial Data Output (DO) starting from the
specified address. Each bit is shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (CLK). The
instruction sequence is shown here. The Read SFDP instruction is terminated by driving Chip
Select (/CS) High at any time during data output.

The Enter Secured OTP instruction is for entering the additional 4K-bit secured OTP mode. The
additional 4K-bit secured OTP is independent from main array, which may be used to store unique
serial number for system identifier. After entering the Secured OTP mode, and then follow standard
read or program, procedure to read out the data or update data. The Secured OTP data cannot be
updated again once it is lock-down
Please note that Write Status Register-1, Write Status Register-2 and Write Security Register
instructions are not acceptable during the access of secure OTP region. Once security OTP is lock
down, only commands related with read are valid.
The Enter Secured OTP instruction sequence is shown in figure 41.

10.43 Read Security Register (2Bh)
The Read Security Register can be read the value of Security Register bits at any time (even in
program/erase/write status register-1 and write status register-2 condition) and continuously.
Secured OTP Indicator bit. The Secured OTP indicator bit shows the chip is locked by factory
before ex-factory or not. When it is “0”, it indicates non-factory lock, “1” indicates factory-lock.
Lock-down Secured OTP (LDSO) bit. By writing Write Security Register instruction, the LDSO bit
may be set to “1” for customer lock-down purpose. However, once the bit it set to “1” (Lock-down),
the LDSO bit and the 4K-bit Secured OTP area cannot be updated any more. While it is in 4K-bit
Secured OTP mode, array access is not allowed to write.

10.44 Write Security Register (2Fh)
The Write Security Register instruction is for changing the values of Security Register bits. Unlike
Write Status Register, the Write Enable instruction is not required before writing Write Security
Register instruction. The Write Security Register instruction may change the value of bit1 (LDSO
bit) for customer to lock-down the 4K-bit Secured OTP area. Once the LDSO bit is set to “1”, the
Secured OTP area cannot be updated any more.
The /CS must go high exactly at the boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not
executed.

11. 4K-bit Secured OTP
It’s for unique identifier to provide 4K-bit one-time-program area for setting device unique serial
number which may be set by factory or system customer. Please refer to table of “4K-bit secured
OTP definition”.
- Security register bit 0 indicates whether the chip is locked by factory or not.
- To program the 4K-bit secured OTP by entering 4K-bit secured OTP mode (with ENSO
command) and going through normal program procedure, and then exiting 4K-bit secured OTP
mode by writing EXSO command
- Customer may lock-down bit1 as “1”. Please refer to “table of security register definition” for
security register bit definition and table of “4K-bit secured OTP definition” for address range
definition.
- Note. Once lock-down whatever by factory or customer, it cannot be changed any more. While
in 4K-bit secured OTP mode, array access is not allowed to write.
