Introduction
This application note provides migration guidelines for migrating from S25FL-P to S25FL1-K Cypress SPI Flash
Families.
Discussions will focus on same density migrations, specifically cases of migrating from the S25FL032P to
S25FL132K and when migrating from the S25FL064P to the S25FL164K. Concerns regarding migration from/to
other densities can be extrapolated from the provided discussions.
The application note is based on information available to date from data sheets and other application notes
publicly available from Cypress. Please also refer to the latest relevant specifications.

Feature Comparison
S25FL-P products are well suited for migrations to S25FL1-K products. Some of the reasons are compatible
pinouts, packages, command set, and 4/64 kB block/sector structure. Both product families support Dual I/O and
Quad I/O modes.
The major difference is the different OTP handling, which requires some software changes when this feature is in
use.

Packaging - All Densities
The most common packages for S25FL-P and S25FL1-K are the SOIC packages. The pinout is identical, thus,
this will allow a direct replacement without PCB redesign. Figure 1 shows those SOIC packages and pinouts.
Please refer to the data sheets for detailed package information.

Sector Architecture
The sector architecture between S25FL-P and S25FL1-K can be considered compatible. S25FL-P contains 64-kB
sectors while offering top or bottom parameter blocks of 4-kB (two 64-kB sectors are broken down into sixteen 4kB sub-sectors each). S25FL1-K offers both 4-kB and 64-kB uniform sector architecture.

Migration from S25FL-P to S25FL1-K Cypress SPI Flash Memories
To summarize, both device families support similar flexible erase architecture of 4 kB, 64kB, and chip erase
operations (see Table 12, . Command Set of S25FL-P and S25FL1-K on page 7). The 8-kB sector erase
command is only supported by the S25FL-P. Page programming size of 256 bytes is also identical. Table 3 shows
a summary of the erase and programming granularity.
When migrating from S25FL-P to S25FL1-K, if the 64-kB erase command is used exclusively, then software
changes are not mandatory.

2.3
Sector Protection
Both S25FL-P and S25FL1-K offer the same Sector Protection based on Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0).
Therefore there is no software change required when migrating to the S25FL1-K. Using BP bits, all, none, or a
portion of the memory array can be protected from Program and Erase instructions. By default, the BP Bits (BP2,
BP1, BP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register SR (SR[4], SR[3], SR[2]) that provide Write
Protection control and status (Status Register is also referred to as SR1 in the S25FL1-K case). The factory
default setting for the Block Protect Bits is 0 (none of the array is protected). BP bits can be set using the Write
Status Register Instruction.
The TBPROT bit on the S25FL-P is located at bit 5 of the Configuration Register (CR[5]) while the equivalent bit
on S25FL1-K (TB) is located at bit 5 of the Status Register-1 (SR1[5]). The non-volatile Top/Bottom Protection bit
(TBPROT/TB) controls if the BP Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect from the Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the
array. The non-volatile Sector/Block Protect bit (SEC) on S25FL1-K devices controls if the Block Protect Bits
(BP2, BP1, BP0) protect either 4-kB Sectors (SEC=1) or 64-kB Blocks (SEC=0) in the Top (TB=0) or the Bottom
(TB=1) of the array. The Complement Protect bit (CMP) on S25FL1-K is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status
register SR2 (SR2[6]). It is used in conjunction with SEC, TBPROT/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, TBPROT/TB, BP2,
BP1, and BP0 will be reversed.
The SEC and CMP Bits functionality is not available on S25FL-P. Therefore when migrating to the S25FL1-K, no
software adaptation is required in this area.
Table 4, 5 and 6 respectively show the S25FL032P (TBPROT = 0), S25FL032P (TBPROT = 1) and S25FL132K
sector protection.

Notes:
1. X = don’t care.1.
2. Lower or Upper portion of the array
3. If any Erase or Program command specifies a memory region that contains protected data portion, this command will be ignored.
4. The Complement Protect bit (CMP) is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (SR2[6]). 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 4-kB sector can be protected while the rest of the array is not;
when CMP=1, the top 4-kB sector will become unprotected while the rest of the array become read-only.

Status and Configuration Registers
The Status Register can be read to determine the device's ready/busy status as well as the status of many other
functions such as Hardware Locking and Software Protection. The status register is referred to as SR on S25FL-P
and SR1 on S25FL1-K. We will use the term SR from here on to refer to the status register.
The configuration register is used instead to change some device settings and configurations. The configuration
register is referred to as CR on S25FL-P and SR2 on S25FL1-K. We will use the term CR from here on to refer to
the configuration register.
All SR Bits except SR[5] and SR[6] provide the same information on S25FL-P and S25FL1-K. SR[5] and SR[6] are
used to report erase and program errors respectively on S25FL-P while they contain TB (for the Top / Bottom
selector) and SEC (for setting of Sector protection granularity) on S25FL1-K respectively. Therefore, a software
change might be needed here to stop using SR[5] and SR[6] bits for error reporting and make a correct use of
them if needed.
CR[0] and CR[1] provide the same information on S25FL-P and S25FL1-K while the rest of the bits are used for
different purposes. Please refer to the Table 9 and 10 for more details about those bits specific usage. A software
change might also be needed here to make correct use of bits CR[2] through CR[7] if needed.
Cypress S25FL1-K devices have one additional Status Register (SR3) which can be used to configure the burst
wrap feature. The Write Status Register instruction allows up to three Status Registers (SR/SR1, CR/SR2 and
SR3) to be written in one command sequence. The read-only Status Register bit locations will not be affected by
the Write Status Register instruction.
Table 7 and 9 show the S25FL-P status register (SR) and configuration register (CR) respectively while Table 8,
10 and 11 show the S25FL1-K status register-1 (SR1), status register-2 (SR2) and status register-3 (SR3)
respectively.

Software Considerations
S25FL-P versus S25FL1-K Command Set Comparison
S25FL-P and S25FL1-K have a wide range of common instructions (op-codes) in their command-set.
While Cypress S25FL1-K devices have some additional commands that are related to Erase/Program Suspend/
Resume and Burst Read mode, S25FL-P Devices have additional commands for 8-kB sector erase (P8E), quad
page programming (QPP) and clearing the status register (CLSR).
Table 12 shows a comparison summary of the command set of S25FL-P and S25FL1-K device families.

OTP Related Commands
The OTP (One Time Programmable) area is a specific region that can be used to store a serial number or a
security-oriented key. The S25FL-P has a 506 Bytes (33 Regions) OTP area: Two 8-byte (ESN), thirty 16-byte,
and one 10-byte regions that can be individually locked. Cypress factory programs and locks the lower 8-byte
ESN with a 64-bit unique number. The upper 8-byte ESN is left blank for customer use or, if ordered, Cypress can
program (and lock) in a unique customer ID. The thirty 16-byte and one 10-byte OTP regions are for customer
usage and can be individually locked by the end user.
On the other hand, the S25FL1-K family provides four 256-byte Security Registers. Each register can be used to
store information that can be permanently protected by programming One Time Programmable (OTP) lock bits in
Status Register-2 (LB3, LB2 and LB1). Security register 0 is used by Cypress to store and protect the Serial Flash
Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) information that is also accessed by the Read SFDP command.
The three additional Security Registers can be erased, programmed, and protected individually. These registers
may be used by system manufacturers to store and permanently protect security or other important information
separate from the main memory array.
Since S25FL-P and S25FL1-K present different OTP layouts, software changes are needed to correctly use the
OTP feature.
Table 13 lists the OTP commands of both S25FL-P and S25FL1-K devices.

Timing Considerations
Power-Up Timing
One of the most sensitive electrical specifications is the power-up timing needed to correctly initialize the device.
Figure 2 and Table 14 show the power-up characteristics of both S25FL-P and S25FL1-K devices.

Note:
1. Those parameters are not described in the corresponding data sheets.
It is important to note that the power-up parameters of the S25FL1-K family members are more restrictive. In
particular, the delay before the system issues the first Program/Erase operation (tVSL) needs to be up to 30 times
longer. On the other hand, writes are inhibited already at 2.3V for the S25FL-P, while S25FL1-K allows writing
down to 2.0V.

Data in Setup/Hold Time
Two AC timing parameters that are critical in SPI designs are Data In Setup Time and Data In Hold Time. They
specify how long data needs to be valid before and after the rising edge of the clock signal, respectively. Table 15
shows the Data in Setup/Hold timing characteristics for both S25FL-P and S25FL1-K devices.

The S25FL-P and S25FL1-K Devices have very similar timing. The minor difference should not impact design but
may need to be verified.
4.3
Further Timing Comparison
In general, the timing characteristics of both S25FL-P and S25FL1-K are almost identical. Another example is the
CS# deselect time which is approximately the same for both device families. Table 16 shows a comparison
between S25FL-P and S25FL1-K with regards to the various CS# deselect times.

Since the timing requirement is less restrictive for FL1-K devices, there is no need to apply any changes here.

Conclusion
Similar pinout, packages, command set and sector architecture make migrating from S25FL-P to the S25FL1-K
straightforward although it can require some accommodation with regard to the system software.
Software changes should be considered when using the following features:

Sub-sectors erase commands (20H/40H)

OTP feature

Detecting errors in embedded operations with Status Register bits SR[5] and SR[6]

Configuration Register bits CR[2] through CR[7]
Once accommodations are made, S25FL1-K flash will enable access to a superior read throughput up to
54 Mbytes/s using Quad bit data path.
