SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Data Output (Q). This output signal is used to transfer
data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling
edge of Serial Clock (C).
Serial Data Input (D). This input signal is used to transfer data
serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and
the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising
edge of Serial Clock (C).
Serial Clock (C). This input signal provides the timing of the
serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data present at
Serial Data Input (D) are latched on the rising edge of Serial
Clock (C). Data on Serial Data Output (Q) changes after the
falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
Chip Select ( S ). When this input signal is High, the device is
deselected and Serial Data Output (Q) is at high impedance.
Unless an internal Program, Erase or Write Status Register
cycle is in progress, the device will be in the Standby mode
(this is not the Deep Power-down mode). Driving Chip Select
( S ) Low enables the device, placing it in the active power
mode.
After Power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select ( S ) is required
prior to the start of any instruction.
Hold ( HOLD ). The Hold ( HOLD ) signal is used to pause any
serial communications with the device without deselecting the
device.
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (Q) is high
impedance, and Serial Data Input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are
Don’t Care. To start the Hold condition, the device must be
selected, with Chip Select ( S ) driven Low.
Write Protect ( W ). The main purpose of this input signal is to
freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected against
program or erase instructions (as specified by the values in the
BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits of the Status Register).
SPI MODES
edge of Serial Clock (C).
The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 2,
is the clock polarity when the bus master is in Stand-by mode
and not transferring data:
– C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)
– C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)
These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI
peripheral running in either of the two following modes:
– CPOL=0, CPHA=0
– CPOL=1, CPHA=1
For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge
of Serial Clock (C), and output data is available from the falling

OPERATING FEATURES
Page Programming
Status Register
To program one data byte, two instructions are required: Write
Enable (WREN), which is one byte, and a Page Program (PP)
sequence, which consists of four bytes plus data. This is
followed by the internal Program cycle (of duration tPP).
To spread this overhead, the Page Program (PP) instruction
allows up to 256 bytes to be programmed at a time (changing
bits from 1 to 0), provided that they lie in consecutive
addresses on the same page of memory.
The Status Register contains a number of status and control
bits that can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific
instructions.
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the
memory is busy with a Write Status Register, Program or Erase
cycle.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the internal Write Enable Latch, BP2, BP1, and BP0 bits.
The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They
define the size of the area to be software protected against
Program and Erase instructions.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is
operated in conjunction with the Write Protect ( W ) signal. The
Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect
( W ) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected mode. In this mode, the non-volatile bits of the
Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0) become read-only
bits.
Sector Erase and Bulk Erase
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bits to be reset from
1 to 0. Before this can be applied, the bytes of memory need to
have been erased to all 1s (FFh). This can be achieved, a
sector at a time, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, or
throughout the entire memory, using the Bulk Erase (BE)
instruction. This starts an internal Erase cycle (of duration tSE or
tBE).
The Erase instruction must be preceded by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction.
Protection Modes
Polling During a Write, Program or Erase Cycle
The environments where non-volatile memory devices are
used can be very noisy. No SPI device can operate correctly in
the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the
A25L80P boasts the following data protection mechanisms:
Power-On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide
protection against inadvertant changes while the power
supply is outside the operating specification.
Program, Erase and Write Status Register instructions are
checked that they consist of a number of clock pulses that
is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for
execution.
All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a
Write Enable (WREN) instruction to set the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state by the
following events:
- Power-up
- Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion
- Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion
- Page Program (PP) instruction completion
- Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion
- Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion
The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits allow part of the
memory to be configured as read-only. This is the Software
Protected Mode (SPM).
The Write Protect ( W ) signal allows the Block Protect (BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits and Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit to be protected. This is the Hardware Protected Mode
(HPM).
In addition to the low power consumption feature, the Deep
Power-down mode offers extra software protection from
inadvertant Write, Program and Erase instructions, as all
instructions are ignored except one particular instruction
(the Release from Deep Power-down instruction).
A further improvement in the time to Write Status Register
(WRSR), Program (PP) or Erase (SE or BE) can be achieved
by not waiting for the worst case delay (tW, tPP, tSE, or tBE). The
Write In Progress (WIP) bit is provided in the Status Register
so that the application program can monitor its value, polling it
to establish when the previous Write cycle, Program cycle or
Erase cycle is complete.
Active Power, Stand-by Power and Deep
Power-Down Modes
When Chip Select ( S ) is Low, the device is enabled, and in the
Active Power mode.
When Chip Select ( S ) is High, the device is disabled, but could
remain in the Active Power mode until all internal cycles have
completed (Program, Erase, Write Status Register). The device
then goes in to the Stand-by Power mode. The device
consumption drops to ICC1.
The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the specific
instruction (the Enter Deep Power-down Mode (DP) instruction)
is executed. The device consumption drops further to ICC2. The
device remains in this mode until another specific instruction
(the Release from Deep Power-down Mode and Read
Electronic Signature (RES) instruction) is executed.
All other instructions are ignored while the device is in the
Deep Power-down mode. This can be used as an extra
software protection mechanism, when the device is not in
active use, to protect the device from inadvertent Write,
Program or Erase instructions.

During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (Q) is high
impedance, and Serial Data Input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are
Don’t Care.
Normally, the device is kept selected, with Chip Select ( S )
driven Low, for the whole duration of the Hold condition. This is
to ensure that the state of the internal logic remains unchanged
from the moment of entering the Hold condition.
If Chip Select ( S ) goes High while the device is in the Hold
condition, this has the effect of resetting the internal logic of the
device. To restart communication with the device, it is
necessary to drive Hold ( HOLD ) High, and then to drive Chip
The Hold ( HOLD ) signal is used to pause any serial
communications with the device without resetting the clocking
sequence. However, taking this signal Low does not terminate
any Write Status Register, Program or Erase cycle that is
currently in progress.
To enter the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with
Chip Select ( S ) Low.
The Hold condition starts on the falling edge of the Hold
( HOLD ) signal, provided that this coincides with Serial Clock
(C) being Low (as shown in Figure 3.).
The Hold condition ends on the rising edge of the Hold ( HOLD )
signal, provided that this coincides with Serial Clock (C) being
Low.
If the falling edge does not coincide with Serial Clock (C) being
Low, the Hold condition starts after Serial Clock (C) next goes
Low. Similarly, if the rising edge does not coincide with Serial
Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition ends after Serial Clock
Select ( S ) Low. This prevents the device from going back to
the Hold condition.

In the case of a Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk
Erase (BE), Write Status Register (WRSR), Write Enable
(WREN), Write Disable (WRDI) or Deep Power-down (DP)

All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of
the device, most significant bit first.
Serial Data Input (D) is sampled on the first rising edge of
Serial Clock (C) after Chip Select ( S ) is driven Low. Then, the
one-byte instruction code must be shifted in to the device, most
significant bit first, on Serial Data Input (D), each bit being
latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction set is listed in Table 3.
Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction
code. Depending on the instruction, this might be followed by
address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none.
In the case of a Read Data Bytes (READ), Read Data Bytes at
Higher Speed (Fast_Read), Read Status Register (RDSR) or
Release from Deep Power-down, Read Device Identification
and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction, the shifted-in
instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. Chip
Select ( S ) can be driven High after any bit of the data-out
number of clock pulses after Chip Select ( S ) being driven Low
is an exact multiple of eight.
All attempts to access the memory array during a Write Status
Register cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle are ignored, and
the internal Write Status Register cycle, Program cycle or
Erase cycle continues unaffected.

Read Status Register (RDSR)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction allows the Status
Register to be read. The Status Register may be read at any
time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register
cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it
is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit
before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also
possible to read the Status Register continuously, as shown in
Figure 6.
0 no such cycle is in progress.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status
of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1 the internal
Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write
Enable Latch is reset and no Write Status Register, Program or
Erase instruction is accepted.
BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits
are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software
protected against Program and Erase instructions. These bits
are written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction.
When one or both of the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits is
set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 1.)
becomes protected against Page Program (PP) and Sector
Erase (SE) instructions. The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0)
bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode
has not been set. The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is executed if,
and only if, both Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are 0.

Write Status Register (WRSR)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows new
values to be written to the Status Register. Before it can be
accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously
have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN)
instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets

cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user
to change the values of the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits,
to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only,
as defined in Table 1. The Write Status Register (WRSR)
instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the
Write Protect ( W ) signal. The Status Register Write Disable

consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that
are software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect (BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, are also hardware
protected against data modification.
Regardless of the order of the two events, the Hardware
Protected Mode (HPM) can be entered:
The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 5.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the
Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery state), it is possible to
write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction, regardless of the whether Write Protect
( W ) is driven High or Low.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the
Status Register is set to 1, two cases need to be considered,
depending on the state of Write Protect ( W ):
­ If Write Protect ( W ) is driven High, it is possible to write to
the Status Register provided that the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction.
­ If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not possible to write
to the Status Register even if the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN)
instruction. (Attempts to write to the Status Register are
rejected, and are not accepted for execution). As a

The only way to exit the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) once
entered is to pull Write Protect ( W ) High.

If Write Protect ( W ) is permanently tied High, the Hardware
Protected Mode (HPM) can never be activated, and only the

The device is first selected by driving Chip Select ( S ) Low. The
instruction code for the Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is
followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being
latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the
memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial Data
Output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency
fR, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8. The first byte
addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data
is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a

Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be
programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0). Before
it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must
previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN)
instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable

Data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed
at the requested addresses without having any effects on the
other bytes of the same page.
Chip Select ( S ) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the
last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the Page
Program (PP) instruction is not executed.
The Page Program (PP) instruction is entered by driving Chip
Select ( S ) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address
bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data Input (D). If the
8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all
transmitted data that goes beyond the end of the current page
are programmed from the start address of the same page (from
the address whose 8 least significant bits (A7-A0) are all zero).
As soon as Chip Select ( S ) is driven High, the self-timed Page
Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the
Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be
read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The
Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Page
Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some
unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
Chip Select ( S ) must be driven Low for the entire duration of
the sequence.

Deep Power-down (DP)
Executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is the only
way to put the device in the lowest consumption mode (the
Deep Power-down mode). It can also be used as an extra
software protection mechanism, while the device is not in
active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all Write,
Program and Erase instructions.
The Deep Power-down mode automatically stops at
Power-down, and the device always Powers-up in the Standby
mode.
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is entered by driving
Chip Select ( S ) Low, followed by the instruction code on Serial
Data Input (D). Chip Select ( S ) must be driven Low for the
entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is
shown in Figure 13.
Driving Chip Select ( S ) High deselects the device, and puts
the device in the Standby mode (if there is no internal cycle
currently in progress). But this mode is not the Deep
Power-down mode. The Deep Power-down mode can only be
entered by executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, to
reduce the standby current (from ICC1 to ICC2, as specified in DC
Characteristics Table.).
Chip Select ( S ) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the
instruction code has been latched in, otherwise the Deep
Power-down (DP) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip
Select ( S ) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP before the
supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the Deep Power-down
mode is entered.
Any Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, while an Erase,
Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without
having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.
Once the device has entered the Deep Power-down mode, all
instructions are ignored except the Release from Deep
Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction.
This releases the device from this mode. The Release from
Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES)
instruction also allows the Electronic Signature of the device to
be output on Serial Data Output (Q).

Read Device Identification (RDID)
The Read Identification (RDID) instruction allows the 8-bit
manufacturer identification code to be read, followed by two
bytes of device identification. The manufacturer identification is
assigned by JEDEC, and has the value 37h, plus the
continuation identification for AMIC Technology. The device
identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and
indicates the memory in the first bytes (02h), and the memory
capacity of the device in the second byte (13h).
This is followed by the 32-bit device identification, stored in the
memory, being shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit
being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 14. The Read
Identification (RDID) instruction is terminated by driving Chip
Select ( S ) High at any time during data output.
When Chip Select ( S ) is driven High, the device is put in the
Stand-by Power mode. Once in the Stand-by Power mode, the
device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and
execute instructions.
Any Read Identification (RDID) instruction while an Erase, or
Program cycle is in progress, is not decoded, and has no effect
on the cycle that is in progress.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select ( S ) Low.

These values are specified in Table 6.
If the delay, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC has risen above
VCC(min), the device can be selected for READ instructions
even if the tPUW delay is not yet fully elapsed.
At Power-up, the device is in the following state:
At Power-up and Power-down, the device must not be selected
(that is Chip Select ( S ) must follow the voltage applied on VCC)
until VCC reaches the correct value:

­
VCC (min) at Power-up, and then for a further delay of tVSL
VSS at Power-down
Usually a simple pull-up resistor on Chip Select ( S ) can be
used to insure safe and proper Power-up and Power-down.
To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write operations
during power up, a Power On Reset (POR) circuit is included.
The logic inside the device is held reset while VCC is less than
the POR threshold value, VWI – all operations are disabled, and
the device does not respond to any instruction.
Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable (WREN), Page
Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE) and Write
Status Register (WRSR) instructions until a time delay of tPUW
has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the VWI
threshold. However, the correct operation of the device is not
guaranteed if, by this time, VCC is still below VCC(min). No Write
Status Register, Program or Erase instructions should be sent
until the later of:
The device is in the Standby mode (not the Deep
Power-down mode).
­ The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to
stabilize the VCC feed. Each device in a system should have the
VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package
pins. (Generally, this capacitor is of the order of 0.1µF).
At Power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to
below the POR threshold value, VWI, all operations are disabled
and the device does not respond to any instruction. (The
designer needs to be aware that if a Power-down occurs while
a Write, Program or Erase cycle is in progress, some data
corruption can result.)
