2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MX25U3235F is 32Mb bits serial Flash memory, which is configured as 4,194,304 x 8 internally. When it is in two or
four I/O mode, the structure becomes 16,777,216 bits x 2 or 8,388,608 bits x 4. MX25U3235F 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, SO pin, WP# pin and RESET# pin become SIO0
pin, SIO1 pin, SIO2 pin and SIO3 pin for address/dummy bits input and data output.
The MX25U3235F 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 see security features section for
more details.
The MX25U3235F 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.
• Power-on reset: to avoid sudden power switch by system power supply transition, the power-on reset (internal
timer) may protect the Flash.
• 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 issuing other commands 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.
- The Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) use WP#/SIO2 to protect the (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits and Status
Register Write Protect bit.
- In four I/O and QPI mode, the feature of HPM will be disabled.

II. Additional 4K-bit secured OTP 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.
- 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 Enter Security OTP command),
and going through normal program procedure, and then exiting 4K-bit secured OTP mode by writing Exit Security
OTP command.
- Customer may lock-down the customer lockable secured OTP by writing WRSCUR(write security register) command to set customer lock-down bit1 as "1". Please refer to "Table 8. Security Register Definition" for security
register bit definition and "Table 3. 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.

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, it enters standby mode and remains in standby mode until
next CS# falling edge. In standby mode, SO pin of the device is High-Z.
3. When correct command is inputted to this device, it enters active mode and remains in 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.

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.

9-3. Read Identification (RDID)
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 19. AC Characteristics". Once in the Standby 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. Reset# pin goes low will release the Flash 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.

9-7. Read Status Register (RDSR)
The RDSR instruction is for reading Status Register Bits. The Read Status Register can be read at any time (even
in program/erase/write status register condition). It is recommended to check the Write in Progress (WIP) bit before
sending a new instruction when a program, erase, or write status register operation is in progress.
The sequence of issuing RDSR instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending RDSR instruction code→ Status Register data
out on SO.
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.

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, non-volatile bit, while it is "0" (factory default), it performs non-Quad and WP#,
RESET# are enabled. While QE is "1", it performs Quad I/O mode and WP#, RESET# are disabled. In the other
word, if the system goes into four I/O mode (QE=1), the feature of HPM and RESET will be disabled.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit, non-volatile bit, is operated together with Write Protection
(WP#/SIO2) pin for providing hardware protection mode. The hardware protection mode requires SRWD sets to 1 and
WP#/SIO2 pin signal is low stage. In the hardware protection mode, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is
no longer accepted for execution and the SRWD bit and Block Protect bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) are read only. The
SRWD bit defaults to be "0".

9-8. 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 WRSR also can set or reset the Quad
enable (QE) bit and set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with Write Protection (WP#/
SIO2) pin signal, but has no effect on bit1(WEL) and bit0 (WIP) of the status register. The WRSR instruction cannot
be executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
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.

Software Protected Mode (SPM):
- When SRWD bit=0, no matter WP#/SIO2 is low or high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit and can
change the values of SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP2, BP1,
BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM).
- When SRWD bit=1 and WP#/SIO2 is high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit can change the values of
SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM)
Note:
If SRWD bit=1 but WP#/SIO2 is low, it is impossible to write the Status Register even if the WEL bit has previously
been set. It is rejected to write the Status Register and not be executed.
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM):
- When SRWD bit=1, and then WP#/SIO2 is low (or WP#/SIO2 is low before SRWD bit=1), it enters the hardware
protected mode (HPM). The data of the protected area is protected by software protected mode by BP3, BP2,
BP1, BP0 and hardware protected mode by the WP#/SIO2 to against data modification.
Note:
To exit the hardware protected mode requires WP#/SIO2 driving high once the hardware protected mode is entered.
If the WP#/SIO2 pin is permanently connected to high, the hardware protected mode can never be entered; only can
use software protected mode via BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0.
If the system enter QPI or set QE=1, the feature of HPM will be disabled.

9-9. 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.

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

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

data of every four bits (interleave on 4 I/O pins) shift out on the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fQ.
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 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→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.

This device supports Burst Read in both SPI and QPI mode.
To set the Burst length, following command operation is required
Issuing command: “C0h” in the first Byte (8-clocks), following 4 clocks defining wrap around enable with “0h” and
disable with“1h”.
Next 4 clocks is to define wrap around depth. Definition as following table:

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”
“E7h” support wrap around feature after wrap around enable. Burst read is supported in both SPI and QPI mode.

9-16.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” command to exit enhance mode.

9-17.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 (see "Table 4. Memory Organization") is a valid address
for Sector Erase (SE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the latest eighth of address
byte 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 during the Sector Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the
tSE timing, and sets 0 when Sector Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If
the sector is protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, the Sector Erase (SE) instruction will not be executed on the
sector.

9-21.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.

9-23.Deep Power-down (DP)
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 Power-down
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 EXSO instruction is for exiting the additional 4K-bit secured OTP mode.
The sequence of issuing EXSO instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending EXSO instruction to exit Secured OTP
mode→ 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.
9-26.Read Security Register (RDSCUR)
The RDSCUR instruction is for reading the value of Security Register bits. The Read Security Register can be read
at any time (even in program/erase/write status register/write security register condition) and continuously.
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 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 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.

9-27.Write Security Register (WRSCUR)
The WRSCUR instruction is for changing the values of Security Register Bits. The WREN (Write Enable) instruction
is required before issuing WRSCUR instruction. The WRSCUR instruction may change the values 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 sequence of issuing WRSCUR instruction is :CS# goes low→ sending WRSCUR 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"
in SPI mode.
The CS# must go high exactly at the boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.

9-28.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 and BP3~BP0 bits are protected by “SRWD=1 and WP#=0”, where SRWD is bit 7
of status register that can be set by WRSR command.
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.Under the individual block protection mode (WPSEL=1), hardware protection is performed by driving WP#=0.
Once WP#=0 all array blocks/sectors are protected regardless of the contents of SRAM lock bits.
The sequence of issuing WPSEL instruction is: CS# goes low → sending WPSEL instruction to enter the individual
block protect mode → CS# goes high.
WPSEL instruction function flow is as follows:

9-29.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.

9-30.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.
9-31.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"

9-32.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. 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 9. Readable Area of Memory While a Program or Erase Operation is Suspended").

Sector Erase (4KB)
All but the 4KB Sector being erased
Block Erase (32KB)
All but the 32KB Block being erased
Block Erase (64KB)
All but the 64KB Block being erased
When the serial flash receives the Suspend instruction, there is a latency of tPSL or tESL ("Figure 53. 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 10. Acceptable Commands During Suspend
after tPSL/tESL" (e.g. FAST READ). Refer to "Table 19. AC Characteristics" for tPSL and tESL timings. "Table
11. 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. 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.

9-32-1. 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.

9-33.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 56. 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 54. 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.

9-34.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
when during SPI mode.
9-35.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.

9-36.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 FAST_READ: 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. RESET
Driving the RESET# pin low for a period of tRLRH or longer will reset the device. After reset cycle, the device is at
the following states:
- Standby mode
- All the volatile bits such as WEL/WIP/SRAM lock bit will return to the default status as power on.
If the device is under programming or erasing, driving the RESET# pin low will also terminate the operation and data
could be lost. During the resetting cycle, the SO data becomes high impedance and the current will be reduced to
minimum.

11. POWER-ON STATE
The device is at below states when 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 unless the VCC achieves below correct
level:
- 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 68. 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 the stage while 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. Only applicable as a constraint for a WRSR instruction when SRWD is set at 1.
4. Test condition is shown as "Figure 64. Input Test Waveforms and Measurement Level", "Figure 65. Output Loading".
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. The maximum clock rate=33MHz when reading secured OTP area.
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. “n”=how many bytes to program. In the formula, while n=1, byte program time=12us.
9. Latency time is required for Erase/Program Suspend until WIP bit is "0".
10. 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.
11. 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.

13. OPERATING CONDITIONS
At Device Power-Up and Power-Down
AC timing illustrated in "Figure 66. AC Timing at Device Power-Up" and "Figure 67. 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.
