2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MX25U12873F is 128Mb bits Serial NOR Flash memory, which is configured as 16,777,216 x 8 internally. When it
is in two or four I/O mode, the structure becomes 67,108,864 bits x 2 or 33,554,432 bits x 4.
MX25U12873F features a serial peripheral interface and software protocol allowing operation on a simple 3-wire
bus while it is in single I/O mode. The three bus signals are a clock input (SCLK), a serial data input (SI), and a serial data output (SO). Serial access to the device is enabled by CS# input.
When it is in two I/O read mode, the SI pin and SO pin become SIO0 pin and SIO1 pin for address/dummy bits input and data output. When it is in four I/O read mode, the SI pin and SO pin become SIO0 pin and SIO1 pin, and
SIO2 pin and SIO3 pin are also enabled for address/dummy bits input and data output.
The MX25U12873F MXSMIO® (Serial Multi I/O) provides sequential read operation on the whole chip.
After program/erase command is issued, auto program/erase algorithms which program/erase and verify the specified page or sector/block locations will be executed. Program command is executed on byte basis, or page (256
bytes) basis, or word basis. Erase command is executed on 4K-byte sector, 32K-byte block, or 64K-byte block, or
whole chip basis.
To provide user with ease of interface, a status register is included to indicate the status of the chip. The status read
command can be issued to detect completion status of a program or erase operation via WIP bit.
Advanced security features enhance the protection and security functions, please refer to security features section
for more details.
The MX25U12873F utilizes Macronix's proprietary memory cell, which reliably stores memory contents even after
100,000 program and erase cycles.

6. DATA PROTECTION
During power transition, there may be some false system level signals which result in inadvertent erasure or programming. The device is designed to protect itself from these accidental write cycles.
The state machine will be reset as standby mode automatically during power up. In addition, the control register
architecture of the device constrains that the memory contents can only be changed after specific command sequences have completed successfully.
In the following, there are several features to protect the system from the accidental write cycles during VCC powerup and power-down or from system noise.
• Valid command length checking: The command length will be checked whether it is at byte base and completed
on byte boundary.
• Write Enable (WREN) command: WREN command is required to set the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL) before
other command to change data.
• Deep Power Down Mode: By entering deep power down mode, the flash device is under protected from writing
all commands except Release from deep power down mode command (RDP) and Read Electronic Signature
command (RES) and softreset command.
• Advanced Security Features: there are some protection and security features which protect content from inadvertent write and hostile access.
I. Block lock protection
- The Software Protected Mode (SPM) use (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits to allow part of memory to be protected
as read only. The protected area definition is shown as "Table 2. Protected Area Sizes", the protected areas are
more flexible which may protect various area by setting value of BP0-BP3 bits.

8. DEVICE OPERATION
1. Before a command is issued, status register should be checked to ensure device is ready for the intended operation.
2. When incorrect command is inputted to this device, this device becomes standby mode and keeps the standby
mode until next CS# falling edge. In standby mode, SO pin of this device should be High-Z.
3. When correct command is inputted to this device, this device becomes active mode and keeps the active mode
until next CS# rising edge.
4. Input data is latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCLK) and data shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK.
The difference of Serial mode 0 and mode 3 is shown as "Figure 1. Serial Modes Supported".
5. For the following instructions: RDID, RDSR, RDSCUR, READ, FAST_READ, DREAD, 2READ, QREAD, 4READ,
W4READ, RDSFDP, RES, REMS, QPIID, RDBLOCK, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a dataout sequence. After any bit of data being shifted out, the CS# can be high. For the following instructions: WREN,
WRDI, WRSR, SE, BE32K, BE, CE, PP, 4PP, DP, ENSO, EXSO, WRSCUR, WPSEL, SBLK, SBULK, GBULK,
SUSPEND, RESUME, NOP, RSTEN, RST, EQIO, RSTQIO the CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary;
otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
6. While a Write Status Register, Program or Erase operation is in progress, access to the memory array is neglected and will not affect the current operation of Write Status Register, Program, Erase.

8-1. Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) Read Mode
QPI protocol enables user to take full advantage of Quad I/O Serial Flash by providing the Quad I/O interface in
command cycles, address cycles and as well as data output cycles.
Enable QPI mode
By issuing EQIO command (35h), the QPI mode is enabled.

Reset QPI (RSTQIO)
To reset the QPI mode, the RSTQIO (F5h) command is required. After the RSTQIO command is issued, the device
returns from QPI mode (4 I/O interface in command cycles) to SPI mode (1 I/O interface in command cycles).
Note:
For EQIO and RSTQIO commands, CS# high width has to follow "write spec" tSHSL (as defined in "Table 21. AC
Characteristics") for next instruction.

9-1. Write Enable (WREN)
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is for setting Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. For those instructions like PP, 4PP,
SE, BE32K, BE, CE, and WRSR, which are intended to change the device content WEL bit should be set every time
after the WREN instruction setting the WEL bit.
The sequence of issuing WREN instruction is: CS# goes low→sending WREN instruction code→ CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.

The RDID instruction is for reading the manufacturer ID of 1-byte and followed by Device ID of 2-byte. The Macronix Manufacturer ID and Device ID are listed as "Table 6. ID Definitions".
The sequence of issuing RDID instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending RDID instruction code→24-bits ID data out
on SO→ to end RDID operation can drive CS# to high at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase operation is in progress, it will not decode the RDID instruction, therefore there's no effect on
the cycle of program/erase operation which is currently in progress. When CS# goes high, the device is at standby
stage.

9-4. Release from Deep Power-down (RDP), Read Electronic Signature (RES)
The Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (CS#) High. When Chip
Select (CS#) is driven High, the device is put in the Stand-by Power mode. If the device was not previously in the
Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in
the Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is delayed by tRES2, and Chip Select (CS#)
must remain High for at least tRES2(max), as specified in "Table 21. AC Characteristics". AC Characteristics. Once
in the Stand-by Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. The RDP instruction is only for releasing from Deep Power Down Mode.
RES instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as "Table 6.
ID Definitions". This is not the same as RDID instruction. It is not recommended to use for new design. For new design, please use RDID instruction.
Even in Deep power-down mode, the RDP and RES are also allowed to be executed, only except the device is in
progress of program/erase/write cycle; there's no effect on the current program/erase/write cycle in progress.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.
The RES instruction is ended by CS# goes high after the ID been read out at least once. The ID outputs repeatedly if continuously send the additional clock cycles on SCLK while CS# is at low. If the device was not previously
in Deep Power-down mode, the device transition to standby mode is immediate. If the device was previously in
Deep Power-down mode, there's a delay of tRES2 to transit to standby mode, and CS# must remain to high at least
tRES2(max). Once in the standby mode, the device waits to be selected, so it can be receive, decode, and execute
instruction.

9-5. Read Electronic Manufacturer ID & Device ID (REMS)
The REMS instruction returns both the JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID and the device ID. The Device ID values
are listed in "Table 6. ID Definitions".
The REMS instruction is initiated by driving the CS# pin low and sending the instruction code "90h" followed by two
dummy bytes and one address byte (A7~A0). After which the manufacturer ID for Macronix (C2h) and the device
ID are shifted out on the falling edge of SCLK with the most significant bit (MSB) first. If the address byte is 00h, the
manufacturer ID will be output first, followed by the device ID. If the address byte is 01h, then the device ID will be
output first, followed by the manufacturer ID. While CS# is low, the manufacturer and device IDs can be read continuously, alternating from one to the other. The instruction is completed by driving CS# high.

Status Register
The definition of the status register bits is as below:
WIP bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit, a volatile bit, indicates whether the device is busy in program/erase/write status register progress. When WIP bit sets to 1, which means the device is busy in program/erase/write status register
progress. When WIP bit sets to 0, which means the device is not in progress of program/erase/write status register
cycle.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is a volatile bit that is set to “1” by the WREN instruction. WEL needs to be
set to “1” before the device can accept program and erase instructions, otherwise the program and erase instructions
are ignored. WEL automatically clears to “0” when a program or erase operation completes. To ensure that both WIP
and WEL are “0” and the device is ready for the next program or erase operation, it is recommended that WIP be confirmed to be “0” before checking that WEL is also “0”. If a program or erase instruction is applied to a protected memory area, the instruction will be ignored and WEL will clear to “0”.
BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, non-volatile bits, indicate the protected area (as
defined in "Table 2. Protected Area Sizes") of the device to against the program/erase instruction without hardware
protection mode being set. To write the Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR)
instruction to be executed. Those bits define the protected area of the memory to against Page Program (PP), Sector
Erase (SE), Block Erase 32KB (BE32K), Block Erase (BE) and Chip Erase (CE) instructions (only if Block Protect bits
(BP3:BP0) set to 0, the CE instruction can be executed). The BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits are "0" as default, which is unprotected.
QE bit. The Quad Enable (QE) bit is permanently set to "1". The flash always performs Quad I/O mode.

Configuration Register
The Configuration Register is able to change the default status of the Flash memory. Flash memory will be
configured after the CR bit is set.
ODS bit
The output driver strength (ODS2, ODS1, ODS0) bits are volatile bits, which indicate the output driver level (as
defined in "Table 9. Output Driver Strength Table") of the device. The Output Driver Strength is defaulted as 30
Ohms when delivered from factory. To write the ODS bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to
be executed.
TB bit
The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is a non-volatile OTP bit. The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is used to configure the Block Protect
area by BP bit (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0), starting from TOP or Bottom of the memory array. The TB bit is defaulted as
“0”, which means Top area protect. When it is set as “1”, the protect area will change to Bottom area of the memory
device. To write the TB bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to be executed.

9-9. Write Status Register (WRSR)
The WRSR instruction is for changing the values of Status Register Bits. Before sending WRSR instruction, the
Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be decoded and executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in advance. The WRSR instruction can change the value of Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits to define the protected area of memory (as shown in "Table 2. Protected Area Sizes").
The sequence of issuing WRSR instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending WRSR instruction code→ Status Register
data on SI→CS# goes high.
The CS# must go high exactly at the 8 bites or 16 bits data boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and
not executed. The self-timed Write Status Register cycle time (tW) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes
high. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked during the Write Status Register cycle is in progress. The
WIP sets 1 during the tW timing, and sets 0 when Write Status Register Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit is reset.

9-10.Read Data Bytes (READ)
The read instruction is for reading data out. The address is latched on rising edge of SCLK, and data shifts out on
the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fR. The first address byte can be at any location. The address
is automatically increased to the next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can
be read out at a single READ instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been
reached.
The sequence of issuing READ instruction is: CS# goes low→sending READ instruction code→ 3-byte address on
SI→ data out on SO→to end READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.

The FAST_READ instruction is for quickly reading data out. The address is latched on rising edge of SCLK, and
data of each bit shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fC. The first address byte can be at
any location. The address is automatically increased to the next higher address after each byte data is shifted out,
so the whole memory can be read out at a single FAST_READ instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when
the highest address has been reached.
Read on SPI Mode The sequence of issuing FAST_READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending FAST_READ
instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→1-dummy byte (default) address on SI→ data out on SO→ to end FAST_
READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
Read on QPI Mode The sequence of issuing FAST_READ instruction in QPI mode is: CS# goes low→ sending
FAST_READ instruction, 2 cycles→ 24-bit address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→4 dummy cycles→data
out interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to end QPI FAST_READ operation can use CS# to high at any time
during data out.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, FAST_READ instruction is rejected without any impact on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

9-12.Dual Read Mode (DREAD)
The DREAD instruction enable double throughput of Serial NOR Flash in read mode. The address is latched on
rising edge of SCLK, and data of every two bits (interleave on 2 I/O pins) shift out on the falling edge of SCLK at a
maximum frequency fT. The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the
next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out at a single DREAD
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing DREAD
instruction, the following data out will perform as 2-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
The sequence of issuing DREAD instruction is: CS# goes low → sending DREAD instruction → 3-byte address on
SI → 8-bit dummy cycle → data out interleave on SIO1 & SIO0 → to end DREAD operation can use CS# to high
at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, DREAD instruction is rejected without any impact
on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out at a single 4READ instruction. The address
counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing 4READ instruction, the following
address/dummy/data out will perform as 4-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
4 x I/O Read on SPI Mode (4READ) The sequence of issuing 4READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending
4READ instruction→ 24-bit address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→2+4 dummy cycles→data out interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to end 4READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
4 x I/O Read on QPI Mode (4READ) The 4READ instruction also support on QPI command mode. The sequence
of issuing 4READ instruction QPI mode is: CS# goes low→ sending 4READ instruction→ 24-bit address interleave
on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→2+4 dummy cycles (default) →data out interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to
end 4READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
Another sequence of issuing 4READ instruction especially useful in random access is : CS# goes low→sending 4
READ instruction→3-bytes address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0 →performance enhance toggling bit
P[7:0]→ 4 dummy cycles →data out still CS# goes high → CS# goes low (reduce 4READ instruction) →24-bit random access address.
In the performance-enhancing mode, P[7:4] must be toggling with P[3:0] ; likewise P[7:0]=A5h, 5Ah, F0h or 0Fh can
make this mode continue and reduce the next 4READ instruction. Once P[7:4] is no longer toggling with P[3:0]; likewise P[7:0]=FFh,00h,AAh or 55h and afterwards CS# is raised and then lowered, the system then will escape from
performance enhance mode and return to normal operation.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, 4READ instruction is rejected without any impact
on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

The wrap around unit is defined within the 256Byte page, with random initial address. It’s defined as “wrap-around
mode disable” for the default state of the device. To exit wrap around, it is required to issue another “C0h” command
in which data=‘1xh”. Otherwise, wrap around status will be retained until power down or reset command. To change
wrap around depth, it is requried to issue another “C0h” command in which data=“0xh”. QPI “0Bh” “EBh” and SPI “EBh”

9-17.Performance Enhance Mode
The device could waive the command cycle bits if the two cycle bits after address cycle toggles.
Performance enhance mode is supported in both SPI and QPI mode.
In QPI mode, “EBh” “0Bh” and SPI “EBh” “E7h” commands support enhance mode. The performance enhance
mode is not supported in dual I/O mode.
After entering enhance mode, following CS# go high, the device will stay in the read mode and treat CS# go low of
the first clock as address instead of command cycle.
To exit enhance mode, a new fast read command whose first two dummy cycles is not toggle then exit. Or issue
”FFh” data cycle to exit enhance mode.

9-18.Sector Erase (SE)
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen sector to be "1". The instruction is used
for any 4K-byte sector. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must execute to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit
before sending the Sector Erase (SE). Any address of the sector (Please refer to "Table 4. Memory Organization")
is a valid address for Sector Erase (SE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the least
significant bit of the address been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
Address bits [Am-A12] (Am is the most significant address) select the sector address.
The sequence of issuing SE instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending SE instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→
CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.
The self-timed Sector Erase Cycle time (tSE) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while the Sector Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets during the tSE
timing, and clears when Sector Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared. If the
sector is protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, the Sector Erase (SE) instruction will not be executed on the
sector.

9-22.Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction is for programming the memory to be "0". A Write Enable (WREN) instruction
must be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program (PP). The device programs only the last 256 data bytes sent to the device. The last address byte (the 8 least significant address bits,
A7-A0) should be set to 0 for 256 bytes page program. If A7-A0 are not all zero, transmitted data that exceed page
length are programmed from the starting address (24-bit address that last 8 bit are all 0) of currently selected page.
If the data bytes sent to the device exceeds 256, the last 256 data byte is programmed at the request page and
previous data will be disregarded. If the data bytes sent to the device has not exceeded 256, the data will be programmed at the request address of the page. There will be no effort on the other data bytes of the same page.
The sequence of issuing PP instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending PP instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→ at
least 1-byte on data on SI→ CS# goes high.
The CS# must be kept low during the whole Page Program cycle; The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the
latest eighth bit of data being latched in), otherwise the instruction will be rejected and will not be executed.
The self-timed Page Program Cycle time (tPP) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked during the Page Program cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the
tPP timing, and sets 0 when Page Program Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If the
page is protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, the Page Program (PP) instruction will not be executed.

The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction places the device into a minimum power consumption state, Deep Powerdown mode, in which the quiescent current is reduced from ISB1 to ISB2.
The sequence of issuing DP instruction: CS# goes low→ send DP instruction code→ CS# goes high. The CS# must
go high at the byte boundary (after exactly eighth bits of the instruction code have been latched-in); otherwise the
instruction will not be executed.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can be accepted by this instruction. SIO[3:1] are "don't care".
After CS# goes high there is a delay of tDP before the device transitions from Stand-by mode to Deep Powerdown
mode and before the current reduces from ISB1 to ISB2. Once in Deep Power-down mode, all instructions will be
ignored except Release from Deep Power-down (RDP).
The device exits Deep Power-down mode and returns to Stand-by mode if it receives a Release from Deep Powerdown (RDP) instruction, power-cycle, or reset.

The sequence of issuing RDSCUR instruction is : CS# goes low→sending RDSCUR instruction→Security Register
data out on SO→ CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.
The definition of the Security Register bits is as below:
Secured OTP Indicator bit. The Secured OTP indicator bit shows the secured OTP area is locked by factory before
exit factory or not. When it is "0", it indicates non-factory lock; "1" indicates factory-lock.
Lock-down Secured OTP (LDSO) bit. By writing WRSCUR instruction, the LDSO bit may be set to "1" for customer lock-down purpose. However, once the bit is set to "1" (lock-down), the LDSO bit and the 4K-bit Secured OTP
area cannot be update any more. While it is in 4K-bit secured OTP mode, main array access is not allowed.

9-29.Write Protection Selection (WPSEL)
There are two write protection methods, (1) BP protection mode (2) individual block protection mode. If WPSEL=0,
flash is under BP protection mode . If WPSEL=1, flash is under individual block protection mode. The default value
of WPSEL is “0”. WPSEL command can be used to set WPSEL=1. Please note that WPSEL is an OTP bit. Once
WPSEL is set to 1, there is no chance to recover WPSEL bit back to “0”. If the flash is under BP mode, the individual block protection mode is disabled. Contrarily, if flash is on the individual block protection mode, the BP mode
is disabled.
Every time after the system is powered-on, and the Security Register bit 7 is checked to be WPSEL=1, all
the blocks or sectors will be write protected by default. User may only unlock the blocks or sectors via SBULK
and GBULK instruction. Program or erase functions can only be operated after the Unlock instruction is conducted.
BP protection mode, WPSEL=0:
ARRAY is protected by BP3~BP0.
Individual block protection mode, WPSEL=1:
Blocks are individually protected by their own SRAM lock bits which are set to “1” after power up. SBULK and SBLK
command can set SRAM lock bit to “0” and “1”. When the system accepts and executes WPSEL instruction, the bit
7 in security register will be set. It will activate SBLK, SBULK, RDBLOCK, GBLK, GBULK etc instructions to conduct
block lock protection and replace the original Software Protect Mode (SPM) use (BP3~BP0) indicated block methods.
The sequence of issuing WPSEL instruction is: CS# goes low → sending WPSEL instruction to enter the individual
block protect mode → CS# goes high. Please refer to "Figure 54. Write Protection Selection (WPSEL) Sequence
(Command 68)".

9-30.Single Block Lock/Unlock Protection (SBLK/SBULK)
These instructions are only effective after WPSEL was executed. The SBLK instruction is for write protection a specified block (or sector) of memory, using AMAX-A16 or (AMAX-A12) address bits to assign a 64Kbyte block (or 4K bytes
sector) to be protected as read only. The SBULK instruction will cancel the block (or sector) write protection state.
This feature allows user to stop protecting the entire block (or sector) through the chip unprotect command (GBULK).
The WREN (Write Enable) instruction is required before issuing SBLK/SBULK instruction.
The sequence of issuing SBLK/SBULK instruction is: CS# goes low → send SBLK/SBULK (36h/39h)
instruction→send 3-byte address assign one block (or sector) to be protected on SI pin → CS# goes high. The CS#
must go high exactly at the byte boundary, otherwise the instruction will be rejected and not be executed.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.

9-31.Read Block Lock Status (RDBLOCK)
This instruction is only effective after WPSEL was executed. The RDBLOCK instruction is for reading the status of
protection lock of a specified block (or sector), using AMAX-A16 (or AMAX-A12) address bits to assign a 64K bytes block (4K
bytes sector) and read protection lock status bit which the first byte of Read-out cycle. The status bit is"1" to indicate
that this block has be protected, that user can read only but cannot write/program /erase this block. The status bit is
"0" to indicate that this block hasn't be protected, and user can read and write this block.
The sequence of issuing RDBLOCK instruction is: CS# goes low → send RDBLOCK (3Ch) instruction → send
3-byte address to assign one block on SI pin → read block's protection lock status bit on SO pin → CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.
9-32.Gang Block Lock/Unlock (GBLK/GBULK)
These instructions are only effective after WPSEL was executed. The GBLK/GBULK instruction is for enable/disable
the lock protection block of the whole chip.
The WREN (Write Enable) instruction is required before issuing GBLK/GBULK instruction.
The sequence of issuing GBLK/GBULK instruction is: CS# goes low → send GBLK/GBULK (7Eh/98h) instruction
→CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"

9-33.Program Suspend and Erase Suspend
The Suspend instruction interrupts a Page Program, Sector Erase, or Block Erase operation to allow access to the
memory array.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
After the program or erase operation has entered the suspended state, the memory array can be read except for
the page being programmed or the sector or block being erased ("Table 12. Readable Area of Memory While a
Program or Erase Operation is Suspended").

When the serial flash receives the Suspend instruction, there is a latency of tPSL or tESL ("Figure 58. Suspend to
Read Latency") before the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit clears to “0” and the PSB or ESB sets to “1”, after which the
device is ready to accept one of the commands listed in "Table 13. Acceptable Commands During Program/Erase
Suspend after tPSL/tESL" (e.g. FAST READ). Refer to "Table 21. AC Characteristics" for tPSL and tESL timings.
"Table 14. Acceptable Commands During Suspend (tPSL/tESL not required)" lists the commands for which the tPSL
and tESL latencies do not apply. For example, RDSR, RDSCUR, RSTEN, and RST can be issued at any time after
the Suspend instruction.
Security Register bit 2 (PSB) and bit 3 (ESB) can be read to check the suspend status (please refer to "Table 11.
Security Register Definition"). The PSB (Program Suspend Bit) sets to “1” when a program operation is suspended.
The ESB (Erase Suspend Bit) sets to “1” when an erase operation is suspended. The PSB or ESB clears to “0”
when the program or erase operation is resumed.

9-33-1. Erase Suspend to Program
The “Erase Suspend to Program” feature allows Page Programming while an erase operation is suspended. Page
Programming is permitted in any unprotected memory except within the sector of a suspended Sector Erase
operation or within the block of a suspended Block Erase operation. The Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be
issued before any Page Program instruction.
A Page Program operation initiated within a suspended erase cannot itself be suspended and must be allowed to
finish before the suspended erase can be resumed. The Status Register can be polled to determine the status of
the Page Program operation. The WEL and WIP bits of the Status Register will remain “1” while the Page Program
operation is in progress and will both clear to “0” when the Page Program operation completes.

9-34.Program Resume and Erase Resume
The Resume instruction resumes a suspended Page Program, Sector Erase, or Block Erase operation. Before
issuing the Resume instruction to restart a suspended erase operation, make sure that there is no Page Program
operation in progress.
Immediately after the serial flash receives the Resume instruction, the WEL and WIP bits are set to “1” and the PSB
or ESB is cleared to “0”. The program or erase operation will continue until finished ("Figure 61. Resume to Read
Latency") or until another Suspend instruction is received. A resume-to-suspend latency of tPRS or tERS must be
observed before issuing another Suspend instruction ("Figure 59. Resume to Suspend Latency").
Please note that the Resume instruction will be ignored if the serial flash is in “Performance Enhance Mode”. Make
sure the serial flash is not in “Performance Enhance Mode” before issuing the Resume instruction.

9-35.No Operation (NOP)
The "No Operation" command is only able to terminate the Reset Enable (RSTEN) command and will not affect any
other command.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.
9-36.Software Reset (Reset-Enable (RSTEN) and Reset (RST))
The Software Reset operation combines two instructions: Reset-Enable (RSTEN) command and Reset (RST)
command. It returns the device to a standby mode. All the volatile bits and settings will be cleared then, which
makes the device return to the default status as power on.
To execute Reset command (RST), the Reset-Enable (RSTEN) command must be executed first to perform the
Reset operation. If there is any other command to interrupt after the Reset-Enable command, the Reset-Enable will
be invalid.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are "don't care"
in SPI mode.
If the Reset command is executed during program or erase operation, the operation will be disabled, the data under
processing could be damaged or lost.
The reset time is different depending on the last operation. Longer latency time is required to recover from a program operation than from other operations.

9-37.Read SFDP Mode (RDSFDP)
The Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard provides a consistent method of describing the functional
and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a standard set of internal parameter tables. These parameter tables
can be interrogated by host system software to enable adjustments needed to accommodate divergent features
from multiple vendors. The concept is similar to the one found in the Introduction of JEDEC Standard, JESD68 on
CFI.
The sequence of issuing RDSFDP instruction is same as CS# goes low→send RDSFDP instruction (5Ah)→send 3
address bytes on SI pin→send 1 dummy byte on SI pin→read SFDP code on SO→to end RDSFDP operation can
use CS# to high at any time during data out.
SFDP is a JEDEC Standard, JESD216.

10. POWER-ON STATE
The device is at the following states after power-up:
- Standby mode (please note it is not deep power-down mode)
- Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset
The device must not be selected during power-up and power-down stage until the VCC reaches the following levels:
- VCC minimum at power-up stage and then after a delay of tVSL
- GND at power-down
Please note that a pull-up resistor on CS# may ensure a safe and proper power-up/down level.
An internal power-on reset (POR) circuit may protect the device from data corruption and inadvertent data change
during power up state. When VCC is lower than VWI (POR threshold voltage value), the internal logic is reset and
the flash device has no response to any command.
For further protection on the device, if the VCC does not reach the VCC minimum level, the correct operation is not
guaranteed. The write, erase, and program command should be sent after the below time delay:
- tVSL after VCC reached VCC minimum level
The device can accept read command after VCC reached VCC minimum and a time delay of tVSL.
Please refer to the "Figure 72. Power-up Timing".
Note:
- To stabilize the VCC level, the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to package pins is recommended. (generally around 0.1uF)
- At power-down stage, the VCC drops below VWI level, all operations are disable and device has no response
to any command. The data corruption might occur during this stage if a write, program, erase cycle is in progress.

Notes:
1. tCH + tCL must be greater than or equal to 1/ Frequency.
2. Typical values given for TA=25°C. Not 100% tested.
3. Test condition is shown as "Figure 68. Input Test Waveforms and Measurement Level", "Figure 69. Output Loading".
4. The maximum clock rate=33MHz when reading secured OTP area.
5. When dummy cycle=4 (In both QPI & SPI mode), maximum clock rate=84MHz; when dummy cycle=6 (In both
QPI & SPI mode), maximum clock rate=104MHz.
6. “n”=how many bytes to program. In the formula, while n=1, byte program time=12us.
7. While programming consecutive bytes, Page Program instruction provides optimized timings by selecting to program the whole 256 bytes or only a few bytes between 1~256 bytes.
8. Latency time is required to complete Erase/Program Suspend operation until WIP bit is "0".
9.For tPRS, minimum timing must be observed before issuing the next program suspend command. However, a
period equal to or longer than the typical timing is required in order for the program operation to make progress.
(The flash memory can accept another suspend command just after 0.3us from suspend resume. However, if the
timing is less than 100us from Program Suspend Resume, the content of flash memory might not be changed
before the suspend command has been issued.) Not 100% tested.
10.For tERS, minimum timing must be observed before issuing the next erase suspend command. However, a
period equal to or longer than the typical timing is required in order for the erase operation to make progress.
(The flash memory can accept another suspend command just after 0.3us from suspend resume. However, if
the timing is less than 400us from Erase Suspend Resume, the content of flash memory might not be changed
before the suspend command has been issued.) Not 100% tested.

12. OPERATING CONDITIONS
At Device Power-Up and Power-Down
AC timing illustrated in "Figure 70. AC Timing at Device Power-Up" and "Figure 71. Power-Down Sequence" are
for the supply voltages and the control signals at device power-up and power-down. If the timing in the figures is ignored, the device will not operate correctly.
During power-up and power-down, CS# needs to follow the voltage applied on VCC to keep the device not to be
selected. The CS# can be driven low when VCC reach Vcc(min.) and wait a period of tVSL.
