Description
The AT45DQ161 is a 2.3V or 2.5V minimum, serial-interface sequential access Flash memory ideally suited for a wide
variety of digital voice, image, program code, and data storage applications. The AT45DQ161 also supports Dual-I/O,
Quad-I/O and the RapidS serial interface for applications requiring very high speed operation. Its 17,301,504 bits of
memory are organized as 4,096 pages of 512 bytes or 528 bytes each. In addition to the main memory, the AT45DQ161
also contains two SRAM buffers of 512/528 bytes each. The buffers allow receiving of data while a page in the main
memory is being reprogrammed. Interleaving between both buffers can dramatically increase a system's ability to write a
continuous data stream. In addition, the SRAM buffers can be used as additional system scratch pad memory, and
E2PROM emulation (bit or byte alterability) can be easily handled with a self-contained three step read-modify-write
operation.
Unlike conventional Flash memories that are accessed randomly with multiple address lines and a parallel interface, the
DataFlash® uses a serial interface to sequentially access its data. The simple sequential access dramatically reduces
active pin count, facilitates simplified hardware layout, increases system reliability, minimizes switching noise, and
reduces package size. The device is optimized for use in many commercial and industrial applications where highdensity, low-pin count, low-voltage, and low-power are essential.
To allow for simple in-system re-programmability, the AT45DQ161 does not require high input voltages for programming.
The device operates from a single 2.3V to 3.6V or 2.5V to 3.6V power supply for the erase and program and read
operations. The AT45DQ161 is enabled through the Chip Select pin (CS) and accessed via a 3-wire interface consisting
of the Serial Input (SI), Serial Output (SO), and the Serial Clock (SCK).
All programming and erase cycles are self-timed.

Pin Configurations
Name and Function
Chip Select: Asserting the CS pin selects the device. When the CS pin is deasserted, the
device will be deselected and normally be placed in the standby mode (not Deep Power-Down
mode) and the output pin (SO) will be in a high-impedance state. When the device is
deselected, data will not be accepted on the input pin (SI).
A high-to-low transition on the CS pin is required to start an operation and a low-to-high
transition is required to end an operation. When ending an internally self-timed operation such
as a program or erase cycle, the device will not enter the standby mode until the completion of
the operation.
Serial Clock: This pin is used to provide a clock to the device and is used to control the flow of
data to and from the device. Command, address, and input data present on the SI pin is
always latched on the rising edge of SCK, while output data on the SO pin is always clocked
out on the falling edge of SCK.

Serial Input (I/O0): The SI pin is used to shift data into the device. The SI pin is used for all
data input including command and address sequences. Data on the SI pin is always latched on
the rising edge of SCK.
SI (I/O0)
With the Dual-output and Quad-output Read Array commands, the SI pin becomes an output
pin (I/O0) and, along with other pins, allows two bits (on I/O1-0) or four bits (on I/O3-0) of data to
be clocked out on every falling edge of SCK. To maintain consistency with SPI nomenclature,
the SI (I/O0) pin will be referenced as SI throughout the document with exception to sections
dealing with the Dual-output and Quad-output Read Array commands in which it will be
referenced as I/O0.
Data present on the SI pin will be ignored whenever the device is deselected (CS is
deasserted).
Serial Output (I/O1): The SO pin is used to shift data out from the device. Data on the SO pin
is always clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
SO (I/O1)
With the Dual-output and Quad-output Read Array commands, the SO pin is used as an output
pin (I/O1) in conjunction with other pins to allow two bits (on I/O1-0) or four bits (on I/O3-0) of data
to be clocked out on every falling edge of SCK. To maintain consistency with SPI
nomenclature, the SO (I/O1) pin will be referenced as SO throughout the document with
exception to sections dealing with the Dual-output and Quad-output Read Array commands in
which it will be referenced as I/O1.
The SO pin will be in a high-impedance state whenever the device is deselected (CS is
deasserted).

Write Protect (I/O2): When the WP pin is asserted, all sectors specified for protection by the
Sector Protection Register will be protected against program and erase operations regardless
of whether the Enable Sector Protection command has been issued or not. The WP pin
functions independently of the software controlled protection method. After the WP pin goes
low, the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be modified.
The WP pin must be driven at all times or pulled-high using an external pull-up resistor.
WP (I/O2)
If a program or erase command is issued to the device while the WP pin is asserted, the device
will simply ignore the command and perform no operation. The device will return to the idle
state once the CS pin has been deasserted. The Enable Sector Protection command and the
Sector Lockdown command, however, will be recognized by the device when the WP pin is
asserted.
Input/
Low
Output
The WP pin is internally pulled-high and may be left floating if hardware controlled protection
will not be used. However, it is recommended that the WP pin also be externally connected to
VCC whenever possible.
With the Quad-output Read Array command, the WP pin becomes an output pin (I/O2) and,
when used with other pins, allows four bits (on I/O3-0) of data to be clocked out on every falling
edge of SCK. The QE bit in the Configuration Register must be set in order for the WP pin to
be used as an I/O data pin.
Reset (I/O3): A low state on the reset pin (RESET) will terminate the operation in progress and
reset the internal state machine to an idle state. The device will remain in the reset condition as
long as a low level is present on the RESET pin. Normal operation can resume once the
RESET pin is brought back to a high level.

Memory Array
To provide optimal flexibility, the AT45DQ161 memory array is divided into three levels of granularity comprising of
sectors, blocks, and pages. <blue>Figure 3-1, Memory Architecture Diagram illustrates the breakdown of each level and
details the number of pages per sector and block. Program operations to the DataFlash can be done at the full page level
or at the byte level (a variable number of bytes). The erase operations can be performed at the chip, sector, block, or
page level.

Device Operation
The device operation is controlled by instructions from the host processor. The list of instructions and their associated
opcodes are contained in <blue>Table 15-1 on page 47 through <blue>Table 15-4 on page 48. A valid instruction starts
with the falling edge of CS followed by the appropriate 8-bit opcode and the desired buffer or main memory address
location. While the CS pin is low, toggling the SCK pin controls the loading of the opcode and the desired buffer or main
memory address location through the SI (Serial Input) pin. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred with the
Most Significant
Bit (MSB) first.
Three address bytes are used to address memory locations in either the main memory array or in one of the SRAM
buffers. The three address bytes will be comprised of a number of dummy bits and a number of actual device address
bits, with the number of dummy bits varying depending on the operation being performed and the selected device page
size. Buffer addressing for the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes) is referenced in the datasheet using the
terminology BFA9 - BFA0 to denote the 10 address bits required to designate a byte address within a buffer. The main
memory addressing is referenced using the terminology PA11 - PA0 and BA9 - BA0, where PA11 - PA0 denotes the
12 address bits required to designate a page address, and BA9 - BA0 denotes the 10 address bits required to designate
a byte address within the page. Therefore, when using the standard DataFlash page size, a total of 22 address bits are
used.
For the “power of 2” binary page size (512 bytes), the buffer addressing is referenced in the datasheet using the
conventional terminology BFA8 - BFA0 to denote the 9 address bits required to designate a byte address within a buffer.
Main memory addressing is referenced using the terminology A20 - A0, where A20 - A9 denotes the 12 address bits
required to designate a page address, and A8 - A0 denotes the 9 address bits required to designate a byte address
within a page. Therefore, when using the binary page size, a total of 21 address bits are used.
4.1
Dual-I/O and Quad I/O Operation
The AT45DQ161 features a Dual-input Buffer Write mode and a Dual-output Read mode that allows two bits of data to be
clocked into Buffer 1 or Buffer 2 or allows two bits of data to be read out of the device on every clock cycle to improve
throughputs. To accomplish this, both the SI and SO pins are utilized as inputs/outputs for the transfer of data bytes. With
the Dual-input Buffer Write command, the SO pin becomes an input along with the SI pin. Alternatively, with the Dualoutput Read Array command, the SI pin becomes an output along with the SO pin. For both Dual-I/O commands, the SO
pin will be referrred to as I/O1 and the SI pin will be referred to as I/O0.
The device also supports a Quad-input Buffer Write mode and a Quad-output Read mode in which the WP and RESET
pins become data pins for even higher throughputs by allowing four bits of data to be clocked on every clock cycle into
one of the buffers or by allowing four bits of data to be read out of the device on every clock cycle. For the Quad-input
Buffer Write and Quad-output Read Array commands, the RESET, WP, SO and SI pins are referred to as I/O3-0 where
RESET becomes I/O3, WP becomes I/O2, SO becomes I/O1 and SI becomes I/O0. The QE bit in the Configuration
Register must be set (via issuing the Quad Enable command) to enable the Quad-I/O operation and to enable the RESET
and WP pins to be converted to I/O data pins.

Read Commands
By specifying the appropriate opcode, data can be read from the main memory or from either one of the two SRAM data
buffers. The DataFlash supports RapidS protocols for Mode 0 and Mode 3. Please see <blue>Section 25., Detailed Bitlevel Read Waveforms: RapidS Mode 0/Mode 3 diagrams in this datasheet for details on the clock cycle sequences for
each mode.
5.1
Continuous Array Read (Legacy Command: E8h Opcode)
By supplying an initial starting address for the main memory array, the Continuous Array Read command can be utilized to
sequentially read a continuous stream of data from the device by simply providing a clock signal; no additional addressing
information or control signals need to be provided. The DataFlash incorporates an internal address counter that will
automatically increment on every clock cycle, allowing one continuous read from memory to be performed without the
need for additional address sequences. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash page size
(528 bytes), an opcode of E8h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (which comprise the 22-bit
page and byte address sequence) and 4 dummy bytes. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit address sequence
specify which page of the main memory array to read and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address sequence
specify the starting byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size
(512 bytes), an opcode of E8h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and four dummy bytes.
The first 12 bits (A20 - A9) of the 21-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read and the
last nine bits (A8 - A0) of the 21-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. The dummy bytes
that follow the address bytes are needed to initialize the read operation. Following the dummy bytes, additional clock
pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy bytes, and the reading of
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from
the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the
device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no
delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR1 specification. The Continuous Array Read
bypasses the data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.
5.2
Continuous Array Read (High Frequency Mode: 1Bh Opcode)
This command can be used to read the main memory array sequentially at the highest possible operating clock
frequency up to the maximum specified by fCAR1. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash
page size (528 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted, and then an opcode of 1Bh must be clocked into the device
followed by three address bytes and two dummy bytes. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit address sequence
specify which page of the main memory array to read and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address sequence
specify the starting byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size (512
bytes), the opcode 1Bh must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (A20 - A0) and two dummy
bytes. Following the dummy bytes, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO
(Serial Output) pin.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy bytes, and the reading of
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover
from the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read,
the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page
boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR1 specification. The Continuous Array
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.

5.3
Continuous Array Read (High Frequency Mode: 0Bh Opcode)
This command can be used to read the main memory array sequentially at higher clock frequencies up to the maximum
specified by fCAR1. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), the CS pin
must first be asserted, and then an opcode of 0Bh must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and
one dummy byte. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory
array to read and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the
page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size (512 bytes), the opcode 0Bh must be clocked into
the device followed by three address bytes (A20 - A0) and one dummy byte. Following the dummy byte, additional clock
pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO pin.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy byte, and the reading of
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover
from the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read,
the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page
boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR1 specification. The Continuous Array
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.
5.4
Continuous Array Read (Low Frequency Mode: 03h Opcode)
This command can be used to read the main memory array sequentially at lower clock frequencies up to maximum
specified by fCAR2. Unlike the previously described read commands, this Continuous Array Read command for the lower
clock frequencies does not require the clocking in of dummy bytes after the address byte sequence. To perform a
Continuous Array Read using the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted, and then
an opcode of 03h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the
22-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the
binary page size (512 bytes), the opcode 03h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (A20 A0). Following the address bytes, additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO pin.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, and the reading of data. When the end
of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue reading at the
beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of
one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will
continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will
be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR2 specification. The Continuous Array
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.
5.5
Continuous Array Read (Low Power Mode: 01h Opcode)
This command is ideal for applications that want to minimize power consumption and do not need to read the memory
array at high frequencies. Like the 03h opcode, this Continuous Array Read command allows reading the main memory
array sequentially without the need for dummy bytes to be clocked in after the address byte sequence. The memory can
be read at clock frequencies up to maximum specified by fCAR3. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the standard
DataFlash page size (528 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted, and then an opcode of 01h must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify which page
of the main memory array to read and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify the starting
byte address within the page. To perform a Continuous Array Read using the binary page size (512 bytes), the opcode
01h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (A20 - A0). Following the address bytes, additional
clock pulses on the SCK pin will result in data being output on the SO pin.

The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, and the reading of data. When the end
of a page in the main memory is reached during a Continuous Array Read, the device will continue reading at the
beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover from the end of
one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read, the device will
continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page boundaries, no delays will
be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum
SCK frequency allowable for the Continuous Array Read is defined by the fCAR3 specification. The Continuous Array
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.
5.6
Main Memory Page Read
A Main Memory Page Read allows the reading of data directly from a single page in the main memory, bypassing both of
the data buffers and leaving the contents of the buffers unchanged. To start a page read using the standard DataFlash
page size (528 bytes), an opcode of D2h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes (which
comprise the 22-bit page and byte address sequence) and 4 dummy bytes. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit
address sequence specify the page in main memory to be read and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address
sequence specify the starting byte address within that page. To start a page read using the binary page size (512 bytes),
the opcode D2h must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and four dummy bytes. The first 12 bits
(A20 - A9) of the 21-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read, and the last nine bits
(A8 - A0) of the 21-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within that page. The dummy bytes that follow
the address bytes are sent to initialize the read operation. Following the dummy bytes, the additional pulses on SCK
result in data being output on the SO (serial output) pin.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy bytes, and the reading of
data. Unlike the Continuous Array Read command, when the end of a page in main memory is reached, the device will
continue reading back at the beginning of the same page rather than the beginning of the next page.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO). The maximum
SCK frequency allowable for the Main Memory Page Read is defined by the fSCK specification. The Main Memory Page
Read bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.

The SRAM data buffers can be accessed independently from the main memory array, and utilizing the Buffer Read
command allows data to be sequentially read directly from either one of the buffers. Four opcodes, D4h or D1h for Buffer
1 and D6h or D3h for Buffer 2, can be used for the Buffer Read command. The use of each opcode depends on the
maximum SCK frequency that will be used to read data from the buffers. The D4h and D6h opcode can be used at any
SCK frequency up to the maximum specified by fMAX while the D1h and D3h opcode can be used for lower frequency
read operations up to the maximum specified by fCAR2.
To perform a Buffer Read using the standard DataFlash buffer size (528 bytes), the opcode must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 14 dummy bits and 10 buffer address bits (BFA9 - BFA0). To
perform a Buffer Read using the binary buffer size (512 bytes), the opcode must be clocked into the device followed by
three address bytes comprised of 15 dummy bits and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). Following the address bytes,
one dummy byte must be clocked into the device to initialize the read operation if using opcodes D4h or D6h. The CS pin
must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy byte (if using opcodes D4h or D6h),
and the reading of data. When the end of a buffer is reached, the device will continue reading back at the beginning of
the buffer. A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the output pin (SO).

5.8
Dual-output Read Array
The Dual-output Read Array command is similar to the Continuous Array Read command and can be used to
sequentially read a continuous stream of data from the device by simply providing the clock signal once the initial starting
address has been specified. Unlike the Continuous Array Read command however, the Dual-output Read Array
command allows two bits of data to be clocked out of the device on every clock cycle rather than just one.
The Dual-output Read Array command can be used at any clock frequency up to the maximum specified by fSCK. To
perform a Dual-output Read Array using the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), the CS pin must first be asserted,
and then an opcode of 3Bh must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and one dummy byte. The
first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read and the
last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page.
To perform a Dual-output Read Array using the binary page size (512 bytes), the opcode 3Bh must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes (A20 - A0) and one dummy byte.
After the three address bytes and the dummy byte have been clocked in, additional clock cycles will result in data being
output on both the I/O1 and I/O0 pins. The data is always output with the MSB of a byte first, and the MSB is always
output on the I/O1 pin. During the first clock cycle, bit seven of the first data byte will be output on the I/O1 pin while bit six
of the same data byte will be output on the I/O0 pin. During the next clock cycle, bits five and four of the first data byte will
be output on the I/O1 and I/O0 pins, respectively. The sequence continues with each byte of data being output after every
four clock cycles.
The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy byte, and the reading of
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Dual-output Read Array the device will continue
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover
from the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read,
the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page
boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state both the I/O1 and I/O0 pins. The Dualoutput Dual-output Read Array bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.
5.9
Quad-output Read Array
The Quad-output Read Array command is similar to the Dual-output Read Array command and can be used to
sequentially read a continuous stream of data from the device by simply providing the clock signal once the initial starting
address has been specified. Unlike the Dual-output Read Array command however, the Quad-output Read Array
command allows four bits of data to be clocked out of the device on every clock cycle rather than two.
Note: The QE bit in the Configuration Register must be previously set in order for any Quad-I/O command (i.e.
Quad-output Read Array command) to be enabled and for the RESET and WP pins to be converted to I/O
data pins.
The Quad-output Read Array command can be used at any clock frequency up to the maximum specified by fSCK. To
perform a Quad-output Read Array using the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), the CS pin must first be
asserted, and then an opcode of 6Bh must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes and one dummy
byte. The first 12 bits (PA11 - PA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify which page of the main memory array to read
and the last 10 bits (BA9 - BA0) of the 22-bit address sequence specify the starting byte address within the page.
To perform a Quad-output Read Array using the binary page size (512 bytes), the opcode 6Bh must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes (A20 - A0) and one dummy byte.
After the three address bytes and the dummy byte have been clocked in, additional clock cycles will result in data being
output on the I/O3-0 pins. The data is always output with the MSB of a byte first and the MSB is always output on the I/O3
pin. During the first clock cycle, bit seven of the first data byte will be output on the I/O3 pin while bits six, five, and four of
the same data byte will be output on the I/O2, I/O1, and I/O0 pins, respectively. During the next clock cycle, bits three,
two, one, and zero of the first data byte will be output on the I/O3, I/O2, I/O1 and I/O0 pins, respectively. The sequence
continues with each byte of data being output after every two clock cycles.

The CS pin must remain low during the loading of the opcode, the address bytes, the dummy byte, and the reading of
data. When the end of a page in the main memory is reached during a Quad-output Read Array the device will continue
reading at the beginning of the next page with no delays incurred during the page boundary crossover (the crossover
from the end of one page to the beginning of the next page). When the last bit in the main memory array has been read,
the device will continue reading back at the beginning of the first page of memory. As with crossing over page
boundaries, no delays will be incurred when wrapping around from the end of the array to the beginning of the array.
A low-to-high transition on the CS pin will terminate the read operation and tri-state the I/O3 , I/O2 ,I/O1 and I/O0 pins. The
Quad-output Read Array bypasses both data buffers and leaves the contents of the buffers unchanged.
6.
Program and Erase Commands
6.1
Buffer Write
Utilizing the Buffer Write command allows data clocked in from the SI pin to be written directly into either one of the
SRAM data buffers.
To load data into a buffer using the standard DataFlash buffer size (528 bytes), an opcode of 84h for Buffer 1 or 87h for
Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 14 dummy bits and 10 buffer
address bits (BFA9 - BFA0). The 10 buffer address bits specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.
To load data into a buffer using the binary buffer size (512 bytes), an opcode of 84h for Buffer 1 or 87h for Buffer 2, must
be clocked into the device followed by 15 dummy bits and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). The 9 buffer address bits
specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.
After the last address byte has been clocked into the device, data can then be clocked in on subsequent clock cycles. If
the end of the data buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. Data will continue to
be loaded into the buffer until a low-to-high transition is detected on the CS pin.
6.2
Dual-input Buffer Write
The Dual-input Buffer Write command is similar to the Buffer Write command and can be used to increase the data input
into one of the SRAM buffers by allowing two bits of data to be clocked into the device on every clock cycle rather than
just one.
To load data into a buffer using the standard DataFlash buffer size (528 bytes), an opcode of 24h for Buffer 1 or 27h for
Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 14 dummy bits and 10 buffer
address bits (BFA9 - BFA0). The 10 buffer address bits specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.
To load data into a buffer using the binary buffer size (512 bytes), an opcode of 24h for Buffer 1 or 27h for Buffer 2, must
be clocked into the device followed by 15 dummy bits and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). The 9 buffer address bits
specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.
After the last address byte has been clocked into the device, data can then be clocked in on subsequent clock cycles. If
the end of the data buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. Data will continue to
be loaded into the buffer until a low-to-high transition is detected on the CS pin.
6.3
Quad-input Buffer Write
The Quad-input Buffer Write command is similar to the Buffer Write command and can be used to significantly increase
the data input into one of the SRAM buffers by allowing four bits of data to be clocked into the device on every clock cycle
rather than just one.
To load data into a buffer using the standard DataFlash buffer size (528 bytes), an opcode of 44h for Buffer 1 or 47h for
Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 14 dummy bits and 10 buffer
address bits (BFA9 - BFA0). The 10 buffer address bits specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.
AT45DQ161 [PRELIMINARY DATASHEET]
8790B–DFLASH–10/2013
12
To load data into a buffer using the binary buffer size (512 bytes), an opcode of 44h for Buffer 1 or 47h for Buffer 2, must
be clocked into the device followed by 15 dummy bits and 9 buffer address bits (BFA8 - BFA0). The 9 buffer address bits
specify the first byte in the buffer to be written.
After the last address byte has been clocked into the device, data can then be clocked in on subsequent clock cycles. If
the end of the data buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. Data will continue to
be loaded into the buffer until a low-to-high transition is detected on the CS pin.
6.4
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase
The Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase command allows data that is stored in one of the SRAM
buffers to be written into an erased or programmed page in the main memory array. It is not necessary to pre-erase the
page in main memory to be written because this command will automatically erase the selected page prior to the
program cycle.
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase using the standard DataFlash page size
(528 bytes), an opcode of 83h for Buffer 1 or 86h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address
bytes comprised of 2 dummy bits, 12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be
written, and 10 dummy bits.
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase using the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode
of 83h for Buffer 1 or 86h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of
3 dummy bits, 12 page address bits (A20 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 dummy bits.
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will first erase the selected page in main memory (the
erased state is a Logic 1) and then program the data stored in the appropriate buffer into that same page in main
memory. Both the erasing and the programming of the page are internally self-timed and should take place in a
maximum time of tEP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase and program algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to
erase or program properly. If an erase or programming error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status
Register.
6.5
Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase
The Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase command allows data that is stored in one of the SRAM
buffers to be written into a pre-erased page in the main memory array. It is necessary that the page in main memory to be
written be previously erased in order to avoid programming errors.
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase using the standard DataFlash page size (528
bytes), an opcode of 88h for Buffer 1 or 89h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes
comprised of 2 dummy bits, 12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written,
and 10 dummy bits.
To perform a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program using the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 88h for Buffer
1 or 89h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of three dummy bits, 12
page address bits (A20 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 dummy bits.
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will program the data stored in the appropriate buffer into
the specified page in the main memory. The page in main memory that is being programmed must have been previously
erased using one of the erase commands (Page Erase, Block Erase, Sector Erase, or Chip Erase). The programming of
the page is internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the
Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to program
properly. If a programming error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

6.6
Main Memory Page Program through Buffer with Built-In Erase
The Main Memory Page Program through Buffer with Built-In Erase command combines the Buffer Write and Buffer to
Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase operations into a single operation to help simplify application firmware
development. With the Main Memory Page Program through Buffer with Built-In Erase command, data is first clocked
into either Buffer 1 or Buffer 2, the addressed page in memory is then automatically erased, and then the contents of the
appropriate buffer are programmed into the just-erased main memory page.
To perform a Main Memory Page Program through Buffer using the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an
opcode of 82h for Buffer 1 or 85h for Buffer 2 must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes
comprised of 2 dummy bits, 12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written,
and 10 buffer address bits (BFA9 - BFA0) that select the first byte in the buffer to be written.
To perform a Main Memory Page Program through Buffer using the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 82h for
Buffer 1 or 85h for Buffer 2 must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of three
dummy bits, 12 page address bits (A20 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 buffer
address bits (BFA8 - BFA0) that select the first byte in the buffer to be written.
After all address bytes have been clocked in, the device will take data from the input pin (SI) and store it in the specified
data buffer. If the end of the buffer is reached, the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. When
there is a low-to-high transition on the CS pin, the device will first erase the selected page in main memory (the erased
state is a Logic 1) and then program the data stored in the buffer into that main memory page. Both the erasing and the
programming of the page are internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tEP. During this time, the
RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase and programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to
erase or program properly. If an erase or program error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.
6.7
Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase
The Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase command combines both the Buffer Write
and Buffer to Main Memory Program without Built-In Erase operations to allow any number of bytes (1 to 512/528 bytes)
to be programmed directly into previously erased locations in the main memory array. With the Main Memory Byte/Page
Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase command, data is first clocked into Buffer 1, and then only the bytes
clocked into the buffer are programmed into the pre-erased byte locations in main memory. Multiple bytes up to the page
size can be entered with one command sequence.
To perform a Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 using the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an
opcode of 02h must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of 2 dummy bits,
12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 10 buffer address bits
(BFA9 - BFA0) that select the first byte in the buffer to be written. After all address bytes are clocked in, the device will
take data from the input pin (SI) and store it in Buffer 1. Any number of bytes (1 to 528) can be entered. If the end of the
buffer is reached, then the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer.
To perform a Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 using the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of
02h for Buffer 1 using must first be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of three dummy
bits, 12 page address bits (A20 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory to be written, and 9 buffer address bits
(BFA8 - BFA0) that selects the first byte in the buffer to be written. After all address bytes are clocked in, the device will
take data from the input pin (SI) and store it in Buffer 1. Any number of bytes (1 to 512) can be entered. If the end of the
buffer is reached, then the device will wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer. When using the binary page size,
the page and buffer address bits correspond to a 21-bit logical address (A20-A0) in the main memory.
After all data bytes have been clocked into the device, a low-to-high transition on the CS pin will start the program
operation in which the device will program the data stored in Buffer 1 into the main memory array. Only the data bytes
that were clocked into the device will be programmed into the main memory.
Example:
If only two data bytes were clocked into the device, then only two bytes will be programmed into main
memory and the remaining bytes in the memory page will remain in their previous state.
AT45DQ161 [PRELIMINARY DATASHEET]
8790B–DFLASH–10/2013

The CS pin must be deasserted on a byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the operation will be aborted and
no data will be programmed. The programming of the data bytes is internally self-timed and should take place in a
maximum time of tP (the program time will be a multiple of the tBP time depending on the number of bytes being
programmed). During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent programming algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to program
properly. If a programming error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.
6.8
Page Erase
The Page Erase command can be used to individually erase any page in the main memory array allowing the Buffer to
Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase command or the Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1
command to be utilized at a later time.
To perform a Page Erase with the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an opcode of 81h must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 2 dummy bits, 12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) that specify the
page in the main memory to be erased, and 10 dummy bits.
To perform a Page Erase with the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 81h must be clocked into the device
followed by three address bytes comprised of three dummy bits, 12 page address bits (A20 - A9) that specify the page in
the main memory to be erased, and 9 dummy bits.
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will erase the selected page (the erased state is a Logic
1). The erase operation is internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tPE. During this time, the
RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If
an erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.
6.9
Block Erase
The Block Erase command can be used to erase a block of eight pages at one time. This command is useful when
needing to pre-erase larger amounts of memory and is more efficient than issuing eight separate Page Erase
commands.
To perform a Block Erase with the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an opcode of 50h must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 2 dummy bits, 9 page address bits (PA11 - PA3), and 13 dummy
bits. The 9 page address bits are used to specify which block of eight pages is to be erased.
To perform a Block Erase with the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 50h must be clocked into the device
followed by three address bytes comprised of three dummy bits, 9 page address bits (A20 - A12), and 12 dummy bits.
The 9 page address bits are used to specify which block of eight pages is to be erased.
When a low-to-high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will erase the selected block of eight pages. The erase
operation is internally self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tBE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in
the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent erase algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If
an erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

Sector Erase
The Sector Erase command can be used to individually erase any sector in the main memory.
The main memory array is comprised of 17 sectors, and only one sector can be erased at a time. To perform an erase of
Sector 0a or Sector 0b with the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes comprised of 2 dummy bits, 9 page address bits (PA11 - PA3), and
13 dummy bits. To perform a Sector 1-15 erase, an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into the device followed by three
address bytes comprised of 2 dummy bits, 4 page address bits (PA11 - PA8), and 18 dummy bits.
To perform a Sector 0a or Sector 0b erase with the binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into
the device followed by three address bytes comprised of three dummy bits, 9 page address bits (A20 - A12), and
12 dummy bits. To perform a Sector 1-15 erase, an opcode of 7Ch must be clocked into the device followed by 3 dummy
bits, 4 page address bits (A20 - A17), and 17 dummy bits.
The page address bits are used to specify any valid address location within the sector to be erased. When a
low-to high transition occurs on the CS pin, the device will erase the selected sector. The erase operation is internally
self-timed and should take place in a maximum time of tSE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will
indicate that the device is busy.
The device also incorporates an intelligent algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If an
erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

Chip Erase
The Chip Erase command allows the entire main memory array to be erased can be erased at one time.
To execute the Chip Erase command, a 4-byte command sequence of C7h, 94h, 80h, and 9Ah must be clocked into the
device. Since the entire memory array is to be erased, no address bytes need to be clocked into the device, and any data
clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin
must be deasserted to start the erase process. The erase operation is internally self-timed and should take place in a
time of tCE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy.
The Chip Erase command will not affect sectors that are protected or locked down; the contents of those sectors will
remain unchanged. Only those sectors that are not protected or locked down will be erased.
The WP pin can be asserted while the device is erasing, but protection will not be activated until the internal erase cycle
completes.
The device also incorporates an intelligent algorithm that can detect when a byte location fails to erase properly. If an
erase error arises, it will be indicated by the EPE bit in the Status Register.

Program/Erase Suspend
In some code and data storage applications, it may not be possible for the system to wait the milliseconds required for
the Flash memory to complete a program or erase cycle. The Program/Erase Suspend command allows a program or
erase operation in progress to a particular 128KB sector of the main memory array to be suspended so that other device
operations can be performed.
Example:
By suspending an erase operation to a particular sector, the system can perform functions such as a
program or read operation within a different 128KB sector. Other device operations, such as Read Status
Register, can also be performed while a program or erase operation is suspended.
To perform a Program/Erase Suspend, an opcode of B0h must be clocked into the device. No address bytes need to be
clocked into the device, and any data clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the
program or erase operation currently in progress will be suspended within a time of tSUSP. One of the Program Suspend
bits (PS1 or PS2) or the Erase Suspend bit (ES) in the Status Register will then be set to the Logic 1 state. In addition,
the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is ready for another operation.
Read operations are not allowed to a 128KB sector that has had its program or erase operation suspended. If a read is
attempted to a suspended sector, then the device will output undefined data. Therefore, when performing a Continuous
Array Read operation and the device's internal address counter increments and crosses the sector boundary to a
suspended sector, the device will then start outputting undefined data continuously until the address counter increments
and crosses a sector boundary to an unsuspended sector.
A program operation is not allowed to a sector that has been erase suspended. If a program operation is attempted to an
erase suspended sector, then the program operation will abort.
During an Erase Suspend, a program operation to a different 128KB sector can be started and subsequently suspended.
This results in a simultaneous Erase Suspend/Program Suspend condition and will be indicated by the states of both the
ES and PS1 or PS2 bits in the Status Register being set to a Logic 1.
If a Reset command is performed, or if the RESET pin is asserted while a sector is erase suspended, then the suspend
operation will be aborted and the contents of the sector will be left in an undefined state. However, if a reset is performed
while a page is program or erase suspended, the suspend operation will abort but only the contents of the page that was
being programmed or erased will be undefined; the remaining pages in the 128KB sector will retain their previous
contents.

Program/Erase Resume
The Program/Erase Resume command allows a suspended program or erase operation to be resumed and continue
where it left off.
To perform a Program/Erase Resume, an opcode of D0h must be clocked into the device. No address bytes need to be
clocked into the device, and any data clocked in after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is deasserted, the
program or erase operation currently suspended will be resumed within a time of tRES. The PS1 bit, PS2 bit, or ES bit in
the Status Register will then be reset back to a Logic 0 state to indicate that the program or erase operation is no longer
suspended. In addition, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy performing a
program or erase operation.
During a simultaneous Erase Suspend/Program Suspend condition, issuing the Program/Erase Resume command will
result in the program operation resuming first. After the program operation has been completed, the Program/Erase
Resume command must be issued again in order for the erase operation to be resumed.
While the device is busy resuming a program or erase operation, any attempts at issuing the Program/Erase Suspend
command will be ignored. Therefore, if a resumed program or erase operation needs to be subsequently suspended
again, the system must either wait the entire tRES time before issuing the Program/Erase Suspend command, or it must
check the status of the RDY/BUSY bit or the appropriate PS1, PS2, or ES bit in the Status Register to determine if the
previously suspended program or erase operation has resumed.

Sector Protection
Two protection methods, hardware and software controlled, are provided for protection against inadvertent or erroneous
program and erase cycles. The software controlled method relies on the use of software commands to enable and
disable sector protection while the hardware controlled method employs the use of the Write Protect (WP) pin. The
selection of which sectors that are to be protected or unprotected against program and erase operations is specified in
the Nonvolatile Sector Protection Register. The status of whether or not sector protection has been enabled or disabled
by either the software or the hardware controlled methods can be determined by checking the Status Register.
7.1
Software Sector Protection
Software controlled protection is useful in applications in which the WP pin is not or cannot be controlled by a host
processor. In such instances, the WP pin may be left floating (the WP pin is internally pulled high) and sector protection
can be controlled using the Enable Sector Protection and Disable Sector Protection commands.
If the device is power cycled, then the software controlled protection will be disabled. Once the device is powered up, the
Enable Sector Protection command should be reissued if sector protection is desired and if the WP pin is not used.
7.1.1
Enable Sector Protection
Sectors specified for protection in the Sector Protection Register can be protected from program and erase operations by
issuing the Enable Sector Protection command. To enable the sector protection, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh,
2Ah, 7Fh, and A9h must be clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the
CS pin must be deasserted to enable the Sector Protection.

Disable Sector Protection
To disable the sector protection, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and 9Ah must be clocked into the
device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to disable the
sector protection.

7.2
Hardware Controlled Protection
Sectors specified for protection in the Sector Protection Register and the Sector Protection Register itself can be
protected from program and erase operations by asserting the WP pin and keeping the pin in its asserted state. The
Sector Protection Register and any sector specified for protection cannot be erased or programmed as long as the WP
pin is asserted. In order to modify the Sector Protection Register, the WP pin must be deasserted. If the WP pin is
permanently connected to GND, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be changed. If the WP pin is
deasserted or permanently connected to VCC, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register can be modified.
The WP pin will override the software controlled protection method but only for protecting the sectors.
Example:
If the sectors were not previously protected by the Enable Sector Protection command, then simply
asserting the WP pin would enable the sector protection within the maximum specified tWPE time. When the
WP pin is deasserted, however, the sector protection would no longer be enabled (after the maximum
specified tWPD time) as long as the Enable Sector Protection command was not issued while the WP pin was
asserted. If the Enable Sector Protection command was issued before or while the WP pin was asserted,
then simply deasserting the WP pin would not disable the sector protection. In this case, the Disable Sector
Protection command would need to be issued while the WP pin is deasserted to disable the sector
protection. The Disable Sector Protection command is also ignored whenever the WP pin is asserted.
A noise filter is incorporated to help protect against spurious noise that may inadvertently assert or deassert the WP pin.
<blue>Figures 7-3 and <blue>Table 7-3 detail the sector protection status for various scenarios of the WP pin, the
Enable Sector Protection command, and the Disable Sector Protection command.

Sector Protection Register
The nonvolatile Sector Protection Register specifies which sectors are to be protected or unprotected with either the
software or hardware controlled protection methods. The Sector Protection Register contains 16 bytes of data, of which
byte locations 0 through 15 contain values that specify whether Sectors 0 through 15 will be protected or unprotected.
The Sector Protection Register is user modifiable and must be erased before it can be reprogrammed. <blue>Table 7-4

7.3.1
Erase Sector Protection Register
In order to modify and change the values of the Sector Protection Register, it must first be erased using the Erase Sector
Protection Register command.
To erase the Sector Protection Register, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and CFh must be clocked into
the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the
internally self-timed erase cycle. The erasing of the Sector Protection Register should take place in a maximum time of
tPE. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is
powered-down before the completion of the erase cycle, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be
guaranteed.
The Sector Protection Register can be erased with sector protection enabled or disabled. Since the erased state (FFh) of
each byte in the Sector Protection Register is used to indicate that a sector is specified for protection, leaving the sector
protection enabled during the erasing of the register allows the protection scheme to be more effective in the prevention
of accidental programming or erasing of the device. If for some reason an erroneous program or erase command is sent
to the device immediately after erasing the Sector Protection Register and before the register can be reprogrammed,
then the erroneous program or erase command will not be processed because all sectors would be protected.

7.3.2
Program Sector Protection Register
Once the Sector Protection Register has been erased, it can be reprogrammed using the Program Sector Protection
Register command.
To program the Sector Protection Register, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and FCh must be clocked
into the device followed by 16 bytes of data corresponding to Sectors 0 through 15. After the last bit of the opcode
sequence and data have been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program
cycle. The programming of the Sector Protection Register should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time,
the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered-down before the
completion of the erase cycle, then the contents of the Sector Protection Register cannot be guaranteed.
If the proper number of data bytes is not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, then the protection status of the
sectors corresponding to the bytes not clocked in cannot be guaranteed.
Example:
If only the first two bytes are clocked in instead of the complete 16 bytes, then the protection status of the
last 14 sectors cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if more than 16 bytes of data is clocked into the device,
then the data will wrap back around to the beginning of the register. For instance, if 17 bytes of data are
clocked in, then the 17th byte will be stored at byte location 0 of the Sector Protection Register.
The data bytes clocked into the Sector Protection Register need to be valid values (0xh, 3xh, Cxh, and Fxh for Sector 0a
or Sector 0b, and 00h or FFh for other sectors) in order for the protection to function correctly. If a non-valid value is
AT45DQ161 [PRELIMINARY DATASHEET]
8790B–DFLASH–10/2013
24
clocked into a byte location of the Sector Protection Register, then the protection status of the sector corresponding to
that byte location cannot be guaranteed.
Example:
If a value of 17h is clocked into byte location 2 of the Sector Protection Register, then the protection status
of Sector 2 cannot be guaranteed.
The Sector Protection Register can be reprogrammed while the sector protection is enabled or disabled. Being able to
reprogram the Sector Protection Register with the sector protection enabled allows the user to temporarily disable the
sector protection to an individual sector rather than disabling sector protection completely.
The Program Sector Protection Register command utilizes Buffer 1 for processing. Therefore, the contents of Buffer 1
will be altered from its previous state when this command is issued.

Read Sector Protection Register
To read the Sector Protection Register, an opcode of 32h and three dummy bytes must be clocked into the device. After
the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes have been clocked in, any additional clock pulses on the SCK pin will result
in the Sector Protection Register contents being output on the SO pin. The first byte (byte location 0) corresponds to
Sector 0 (0a and 0b), the second byte corresponds to Sector 1, and the last byte (byte location 15) corresponds to Sector
15. Once the last byte of the Sector Protection Register has been clocked out, any additional clock pulses will result in
undefined data being output on the SO pin. The CS pin must be deasserted to terminate the Read Sector Protection
Register operation and put the output into a high-impedance state.

About the Sector Protection Register
The Sector Protection Register is subject to a limit of 10,000 erase/program cycles. Users are encouraged to carefully
evaluate the number of times the Sector Protection Register will be modified during the course of the application’s life
cycle. If the application requires that the Security Protection Register be modified more than the specified limit of 10,000
cycles because the application needs to temporarily unprotect individual sectors (sector protection remains enabled
while the Sector Protection Register is reprogrammed), then the application will need to limit this practice. Instead, a
combination of temporarily unprotecting individual sectors along with disabling sector protection completely will need to
be implemented by the application to ensure that the limit of 10,000 cycles is not exceeded.

Security Features
8.1
Sector Lockdown
The device incorporates a sector lockdown mechanism that allows each individual sector to be permanently locked so
that it becomes read-only (ROM). This is useful for applications that require the ability to permanently protect a number of
sectors against malicious attempts at altering program code or security information.
Warning:
Once a sector is locked down, it can never be erased or programmed, and it can never be unlocked.
To issue the sector lockdown command, a 4-byte command sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 7Fh, and 30h must be clocked into
the device followed by three address bytes specifying any address within the sector to be locked down. After the last
address bit has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed lockdown sequence.
The lockdown sequence should take place in a maximum time of tP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status
Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered-down before the completion of the lockdown
sequence, then the lockdown status of the sector cannot be guaranteed. In this case, it is recommended that the user
read the Sector Lockdown Register to determine the status of the appropriate sector lockdown bits or bytes and re-issue
the Sector Lockdown command if necessary.

Read Sector Lockdown Register
The nonvolatile Sector Lockdown Register specifies which sectors in the main memory are currently unlocked or have
been permanently locked down. The Sector Lockdown Register is a read-only register and contains 16 bytes of data
which correspond to Sectors 0 through 15. To read the Sector Lockdown Register, an opcode of 35h must be clocked
into the device followed by three dummy bytes. After the last bit of the opcode and dummy bytes have been clocked in,
the data for the contents of the Sector Lockdown Register will be clocked out on the SO pin. The first byte (byte
location 0) corresponds to Sector 0 (0a and 0b), the second byte corresponds to Sector 1, and the last byte (byte location
15) corresponds to Sector 15. After the last byte of the Sector Lockdown Register has been read, additional pulses on
the SCK pin will result in undefined data being output on the SO pin.
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Read Sector Lockdown Register operation and put the SO pin into a
high-impedance state. <blue>Table 8-2 details the format the Sector Lockdown Register.

Freeze Sector Lockdown
The Sector Lockdown command can be permanently disabled, and the current sector lockdown state can be
permanently frozen so that no additional sectors can be locked down aside from those already locked down. Any
attempts to issue the Sector Lockdown command after the Sector Lockdown State has been frozen will be ignored.
To issue the Freeze Sector Lockdown command, the CS pin must be asserted and the opcode sequence of 34h, 55h,
AAh, and 40h must be clocked into the device. Any additional data clocked into the device will be ignored. When the CS
pin is deasserted, the current sector lockdown state will be permanently frozen within a time of tLOCK. In addition, the SLE
bit in the Status Register will be permanently reset to a Logic 0 to indicate that the Sector Lockdown command is
permanently disabled.

Security Register
The device contains a specialized Security Register that can be used for purposes such as unique device serialization or
locked key storage. The register is comprised of a total of 128 bytes that is divided into two portions. The first 64 bytes
(byte locations 0 through 63) of the Security Register are allocated as a One-Time Programmable space. Once these 64
bytes have been programmed, they cannot be erased or reprogrammed. The remaining 64 bytes of the register (byte
locations 64 through 127) are factory programmed by Adesto and will contain a unique value for each device. The factory
programmed data is fixed and cannot be changed.

Programming the Security Register
The user programmable portion of the Security Register does not need to be erased before it is programmed.
To program the Security Register, a 4-byte opcode sequence of 9Bh, 00h, 00h, and 00h must be clocked into the device.
After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked into the device, the data for the contents of the 64-byte user
programmable portion of the Security Register must be clocked in.
After the last data byte has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed program
cycle. The programming of the Security Register should take place in a time of tP, during which time the RDY/BUSY bit in
the Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. If the device is powered-down during the program cycle, then the
contents of the 64-byte user programmable portion of the Security Register cannot be guaranteed.
If the full 64 bytes of data are not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, then the values of the byte locations not
clocked in cannot be guaranteed.
Example:
If only the first two bytes are clocked in instead of the complete 64 bytes, then the remaining 62 bytes of the
user programmable portion of the Security Register cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, if more than
64 bytes of data is clocked into the device, then the data will wrap back around to the beginning of the
register. For example, if 65 bytes of data are clocked in, then the 65th byte will be stored at byte location 0 of
the Security Register.
Warning:
The user programmable portion of the Security Register can only be programmed one time.
Therefore, it is not possible, for example, to only program the first two bytes of the register and then program
the remaining 62 bytes at a later time.
The Program Security Register command utilizes Buffer 1 for processing. Therefore, the contents of Buffer
1 will be altered from its previous state when this command is issued.

Reading the Security Register
To read the Security Register, an opcode of 77h and three dummy bytes must be clocked into the device. After the last
dummy bit has been clocked in, the contents of the Security Register can be clocked out on the SO pin. After the last
byte of the Security Register has been read, additional pulses on the SCK pin will result in undefined data being output
on the SO pin.
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Read Security Register operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance
state.

Additional Commands
9.1
Main Memory Page to Buffer Transfer
A page of data can be transferred from the main memory to either Buffer 1 or Buffer 2. To transfer a page of data using
the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an opcode of 53h for Buffer 1 or 55h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes comprised of two dummy bits, 12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) which specify
the page in main memory to be transferred, and 10 dummy bits. To transfer a page of data using the binary page size
(512 bytes), an opcode of 53h for Buffer 1 and 55h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed by three address
bytes comprised of three dummy bits, 12 page address bits (A20 - A9) which specify the page in the main memory to be
transferred, and 9 dummy bits.
The CS pin must be low while toggling the SCK pin to load the opcode and the three address bytes from the input pin
(SI). The transfer of the page of data from the main memory to the buffer will begin when the CS pin transitions from a
low to a high state. During the page transfer time (tXFR), the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register can be read to
determine whether or not the transfer has been completed.
9.2
Main Memory Page to Buffer Compare
A page of data in main memory can be compared to the data in Buffer 1 or Buffer 2 as a method to ensure that data was
successfully programmed after a Buffer to Main Memory Page Program command. To compare a page of data with the
standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), an opcode of 60h for Buffer 1 or 61h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the
device followed by three address bytes comprised of two dummy bits, 12 page address bits (PA11 - PA0) which specify
the page in the main memory to be compared to the buffer, and 10 dummy bits. To compare a page of data with the
binary page size (512 bytes), an opcode of 60h for Buffer 1 or 61h for Buffer 2 must be clocked into the device followed
by three address bytes comprised of three dummy bits, 12 page address bits (A20 - A9) which specify the page in the
main memory to be compared to the buffer, and 9 dummy bits.
The CS pin must be low while toggling the SCK pin to load the opcode and the address bytes from the input pin (SI). On
the low-to-high transition of the CS pin, the data bytes in the selected Main Memory Page will be compared with the data
bytes in Buffer 1 or Buffer 2. During the compare time (tCOMP), the RDY/BUSY bit in the Status Register will indicate that
the part is busy. On completion of the compare operation, bit 6 of the Status Register will be updated with the result of the
compare.
9.3
Auto Page Rewrite
This command only needs to be used if the possibility exists that static (non-changing) data may be stored in a page or
pages of a sector and the other pages of the same sector are erased and programmed a large number of times.
Applications that modify data in a random fashion within a sector may fall into this category. To preserve data integrity of
a sector, each page within a sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within every 20,000 cumulative page
erase/program operations within that sector. The Auto Page Rewrite command provides a simple and efficient method to
“refresh” a page in the main memory array in a single operation.
The Auto Page Rewrite command is a combination of the Main Memory Page to Buffer Transfer and Buffer to Main
Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase commands. With the Auto Page Rewrite command, a page of data is first
transferred from the main memory to Buffer 1 or Buffer 2 and then the same data (from Buffer 1 or Buffer 2) is
programmed back into the same page of main memory, essentially “refreshing” the contents of that page. To start the
Auto Page Rewrite operation with the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), a 1-byte opcode, 58H for Buffer 1 or
59H for Buffer 2, must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes comprised of two dummy bits, 12 page
address bits (PA11-PA0) that specify the page in main memory to be rewritten, and 10 dummy bits.
To initiate an Auto Page Rewrite with the a binary page size (512 bytes), the opcode 58H for Buffer 1 or 59H for Buffer 2,
must be clocked into the device followed by three address bytes consisting of three dummy bits, 12 page address bits
(A20 - A9) that specify the page in the main memory that is to be rewritten, and 9 dummy bits. When a low-to-high
transition occurs on the CS pin, the part will first transfer data from the page in main memory to a buffer and then
AT45DQ161 [PRELIMINARY DATASHEET]
8790B–DFLASH–10/2013
31
program the data from the buffer back into same page of main memory. The operation is internally self-timed and should
take place in a maximum time of tEP. During this time, the RDY/BUSY Status Register will indicate that the part is busy.
If a sector is programmed or reprogrammed sequentially page by page and the possibility does not exist that there will be
a page or pages of static data, then the programming algorithm shown in <blue>Figure 26-1 on page 71 is
recommended. Otherwise, if there is a chance that there may be a page or pages of a sector that will contain static data,
then the programming algorithm shown in <blue>Figure 26-2 on page 72 is recommended.
Please contact Adesto for availability of devices that are specified to exceed the 20,000 cycle cumulative limit.
9.4
Status Register Read
The 2-byte Status Register can be used to determine the device's ready/busy status, page size, a Main Memory Page to
Buffer Compare operation result, the sector protection status, Freeze Sector Lockdown status, erase/program error
status, Program/Erase Suspend status, and the device density. The Status Register can be read at any time, including
during an internally self-timed program or erase operation.
To read the Status Register, the CS pin must first be asserted and then the opcode D7h must be clocked into the device.
After the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin outputting Status Register data on the SO pin during every
subsequent clock cycle. After the second byte of the Status Register has been clocked out, the sequence will repeat
itself, starting again with the first byte of the Status Register, as long as the CS pin remains asserted and the clock pin is
being pulsed. The data in the Status Register is constantly being updated, so each repeating sequence may output new
data. The RDY/BUSY status is available for both bytes of the Status Register and is updated for each byte.
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Status Register Read operation and put the SO pin into a high-impedance
state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time and does not require that a full byte of data be read.

Description
The RDY/BUSY bit is used to determine whether or not an internal operation, such as a program or erase, is in progress.
To poll the RDY/BUSY bit to detect the completion of an internally timed operation, new Status Register data must be
continually clocked out of the device until the state of the RDY/BUSY bit changes from a Logic 0 to a Logic 1.
9.4.2
COMP Bit
The result of the most recent Main Memory Page to Buffer Compare operation is indicated using the COMP bit. If the
COMP bit is a Logic 1, then at least one bit of the data in the Main Memory Page does not match the data in the buffer.
9.4.3
DENSITY Bits
The device density is indicated using the DENSITY bits. For the AT45DQ161, the four bit binary value is 1011. The
decimal value of these four binary bits does not actually equate to the device density; the four bits represent a
combinational code relating to differing densities of DataFlash devices. The DENSITY bits are not the same as the
density code indicated in the JEDEC Device ID information. The DENSITY bits are provided only for backward
compatibility to older generation DataFlash devices.
9.4.4
PROTECT Bit
The PROTECT bit provides information to the user on whether or not the sector protection has been enabled or disabled,
either by the software-controlled method or the hardware-controlled method.
9.4.5
PAGE SIZE Bit
The PAGE SIZE bit indicates whether the buffer size and the page size of the main memory array is configured for the
“power of 2” binary page size (512 bytes) or the standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes).

9.4.6
EPE Bit
The EPE bit indicates whether the last erase or program operation completed successfully or not. If at least one byte
during the erase or program operation did not erase or program properly, then the EPE bit will be set to the Logic 1 state.
The EPE bit will not be set if an erase or program operation aborts for any reason, such as an attempt to erase or
program a protected region or a locked down sector or an attempt to erase or program a suspended sector. The EPE bit
is updated after every erase and program operation.
9.4.7
SLE Bit
The SLE bit indicates whether or not the Sector Lockdown command is enabled or disabled. If the SLE bit is a Logic 1,
then the Sector Lockdown command is still enabled and sectors can be locked down. If the SLE bit is a Logic 0, then the
Sector Lockdown command has been disabled and no further sectors can be locked down.
9.4.8
PS2 Bit
The PS2 bit indicates if a program operation has been suspended while using Buffer 2. If the PS2 bit is a Logic 1, then a
program operation has been suspended while Buffer 2 was being used, and any command attempts that would modify
the contents of Buffer 2 will be ignored.
9.4.9
PS1 Bit
The PS1 bit indicates if a program operation has been suspended while using Buffer 1. If the PS1 bit is a Logic 1, then a
program operation has been suspended while Buffer 1 was being used, and any command attempts that would modify
the contents of Buffer 1 will be ignored.
9.4.10 The ES bit
The ES bit indicates whether or not an erase has been suspended. If the ES bit is a Logic 1, then an erase operation
(page, block, sector, or chip) has been suspended.
9.5
Read Configuration Register
The non-volatile Configuration Register can be used to determine if the Quad-input Buffer 1 or 2 Write and Quad-output
Read Array commands have been enabled. Unlike the Status Register, the Configuration Register can only be read
when the device is in an idle state (when the RDY/ BUSY bit of the Status Register indicates that the device is in a ready
state).
To read the Configuration Register, the CS pin must first be asserted and the opcode of 3Fh must be clocked into the
device. After the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin outputting one byte of Configuration Register data on
the SO pin during subsequent clock cycles. The data being output will be a repeating byte as long as the CS pin remains
asserted and the clock pin is being pulsed.
At clock frequencies above fCLK, the first byte of data output will not be valid. Therefore, if operating at clock frequencies
above fCLK, at least two bytes of data must be clocked out from the device in order to determine the correct value of the
Configuration Register.
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Read Configuration Register operation and put the SO pin into a
high-impedance state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time and does not require that a full byte of data be read.
The Configuration Register is a non-volatile register; therefore, the contents of the Configuration Register are not
affected by power cycles or power-on reset operations.

QE Bit
The QE bit is used to control whether the Quad-input Buffer 1 Write or Buffer 2 Write and the Quad-output Read Array
commands are enabled or disabled. When the QE bit is in the Logical 1 state, the Quad-input Buffer Write and Quadoutput Read Array commands are enabled and will be recognized by the device. In addition, the WP and RESET
functions are disabled and the WP and RESET pins themselves operate as a bidirectional input/output pins (WP is I/O2
and RESET is I/O3).
When the QE bit is in the Logical 0 state, the Quad-Input Buffer Write and Quad-output Read Array commands are
disabled and will not be recognized by the device as valid commands and the WP and RESET pins function as normal
control pins. The WP and RESET pins should be externally pulled-high to avoid erroneous or unwanted device operation.
The Reset command has no effect on the QE bit. The QE bit defaults to the Logical 0 state when devices are initially
shipped from Adesto.

Write Configuration Register
The Write Configuration Register commands are used to modify the QE bit of the non-volatile Configuration Register.
There are two commands that are utilized to enable and disable the Quad I/O functionality of the device and they are the
Quad Enable and Quad Disable commands, respectively.
The Configuration Register is a non-volatile register and is subject to the same program/erase endurance characteristics
of the Main Memory Array. The programming of the Configuration Register is internally self-timed and should take place
in a time of tWRCR. While the Configuration Register is being updated, the Status Register can be read and will indicate
that the device is busy. For faster throughput, it is recommended that the Status Register be polled rather than waiting
the tWRCR time to determine if the Configuration Register has completed the programming cycle.
9.6.1
Quad Enable Command
The Quad Enable command is used to program the QE bit of the non-volatile Configuration Register to a Logical 1 to
enable the Quad I/O functionality of the device. To issue the Quad Enable command, the CS pin must first be asserted
followed by a four byte opcode of 3Dh, 2Ah, 81h, and 66h.
After the last bit of the four byte opcode has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted allowing the QE bit of the
Configuration Register to be modified within the time of tWRCR.

The Quad Disable command is used to program the QE bit of the non-volatile Configuration Register to a Logical 0 to

followed by a four byte opcode of 3Dh, 2Ah, 81h and 67h.
After the last bit of the four byte opcode has been clocked in, the CS pin must be deasserted allowing the QE bit of the

Deep Power-Down
During normal operation, the device will be placed in the standby mode to consume less power as long as the CS pin
remains deasserted and no internal operation is in progress. The Deep Power-Down command offers the ability to place
the device into an even lower power consumption state called the Deep Power-Down mode.
When the device is in the Deep Power-Down mode, all commands including the Status Register Read command will be
ignored with the exception of the Resume from Deep Power-Down command. Since all commands will be ignored, the
mode can be used as an extra protection mechanism against program and erase operations.
Entering the Deep Power-Down mode is accomplished by simply asserting the CS pin, clocking in the opcode B9h, and
then deasserting the CS pin. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS
pin is deasserted, the device will enter the Deep Power-Down mode within the maximum time of tEDPD.
The complete opcode must be clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be deasserted on an
even byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the device will abort the operation and return to the standby mode
once the CS pin is deasserted. In addition, the device will default to the standby mode after a power cycle.
The Deep Power-Down command will be ignored if an internally self-timed operation such as a program or erase cycle is
in progress. The Deep Power-Down command must be reissued after the internally self-timed operation has been
completed in order for the device to enter the Deep Power-Down mode.

Resume from Deep Power-Down
In order to exit the Deep Power-Down mode and resume normal device operation, the Resume from Deep Power-Down
command must be issued. The Resume from Deep Power-Down command is the only command that the device will
recognize while in the Deep Power-Down mode.
To resume from the Deep Power-Down mode, the CS pin must first be asserted and then the opcode ABh must be
clocked into the device. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the CS pin is
deasserted, the device will exit the Deep Power-Down mode and return to the standby mode within the maximum time of
tRDPD. After the device has returned to the standby mode, normal command operations such as Continuous Array Read
can be resumed.
If the complete opcode is not clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, or if the CS pin is not deasserted on an even
byte boundary (multiples of eight bits), then the device will abort the operation and return to the Deep Power-Down
mode.

Ultra-Deep Power-Down
The Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode allows the device to consume far less power compared to the standby and Deep
Power-Down modes by shutting down additional internal circuitry. Since almost all active circuitry is shutdown in this
mode to conserve power, the contents of the SRAM buffers cannot be maintained. Therefore, any data stored in the
SRAM buffers will be lost once the device enters the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode.
When the device is in the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode, all commands including the Status Register Read and Resume
from Deep Power-Down commands will be ignored. Since all commands will be ignored, the mode can be used as an
extra protection mechanism against program and erase operations.
Entering the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode is accomplished by simply asserting the CS pin, clocking in the opcode 79h,
and then deasserting the CS pin. Any additional data clocked into the device after the opcode will be ignored. When the
CS pin is deasserted, the device will enter the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode within the maximum time of tEUDPD.
The complete opcode must be clocked in before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be deasserted on an
even byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, the device will abort the operation and return to the standby mode
once the CS pin is deasserted. In addition, the device will default to the standby mode after a power cycle.
The Ultra-Deep Power-Down command will be ignored if an internally self-timed operation such as a program or erase
cycle is in progress. The Ultra-Deep Power-Down command must be reissued after the internally self-timed operation
has been completed in order for the device to enter the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode.

10.2.1 Exit Ultra-Deep Power-Down
To exit from the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode, the CS pin must simply be pulsed by asserting the CS pin, waiting the
minimum necessary tCSLU time, and then deasserting the CS pin again. To facilitate simple software development, a
dummy byte opcode can also be entered while the CS pin is being pulsed just as in a normal operation like the Program
Suspend operation; the dummy byte opcode is simply ignored by the device in this case. After the CS pin has been
deasserted, the device will exit from the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode and return to the standby mode within a
maximum time of tXUDPD. If the CS pin is reasserted before the tXUDPD time has elapsed in an attempt to start a new
operation, then that operation will be ignored and nothing will be performed. The system must wait for the device to return
to the standby mode before normal command operations such as Continuous Array Read can be resumed.
Since the contents of the SRAM buffers cannot be maintained while in the Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode, the SRAM
buffers will contain undefined data when the device returns to the standby mode.

Buffer and Page Size Configuration
The memory array of DataFlash devices is actually larger than other Serial Flash devices in that extra user-accessible
bytes are provided in each page of the memory array. For the AT45DQ161, there are an extra 16 bytes of memory in
each page for a total of an extra 64KB (512-Kbits) of user-accessible memory. Therefore, the device density is actually
16.5-Mbits instead of 16-Mbits.
Some applications, however, may not want to take advantage of this extra memory and instead architect their software to
operate on a “power of 2” binary, logical addressing scheme. To allow this, the DataFlash can be configured so that the
buffer and page sizes are 512 bytes instead of the standard 528 bytes. In addition, the configuration of the buffer and
page sizes is reversible and can be changed from 528 bytes to 512 bytes or from 512 bytes to 528 bytes. The configured
setting is stored in an internal nonvolatile register so that the buffer and page size configuration is not affected by power
cycles. The nonvolatile register has a limit of 10,000 erase/program cycles; therefore, care should be taken to not switch
between the size options more than 10,000 times.
Devices are initially shipped from Adesto with the buffer and page sizes set to 528 bytes. Devices can be ordered from
Adesto pre-configured for the “power of 2” binary size of 512 bytes. For details, see <blue>Section 27., Ordering
Information on page 73.
To configure the device for “power of 2” binary page size (512 bytes), a 4-byte opcode sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 80h, and
A6h must be clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be
deasserted to initiate the internally self-timed configuration process and nonvolatile register program cycle. The
programming of the nonvolatile register should take place in a time of tEP, during which time the RDY/BUSY bit in the
Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. The device does not need to be power cycled after the completion of
the configuration process and register program cycle in order for the buffer and page size to be configured to 512 bytes.
To configure the device for standard DataFlash page size (528 bytes), a 4-byte opcode sequence of 3Dh, 2Ah, 80h, and
A7h must be clocked into the device. After the last bit of the opcode sequence has been clocked in, the CS pin must be
deasserted to initial the internally self-timed configuration process and nonvolatile register program cycle. The
programming of the nonvolatile register should take place in a time of tEP, during which time the RDY/BUSY bit in the
Status Register will indicate that the device is busy. The device does not need to be power cycled after the completion of
the configuration process and register program cycle in order for the buffer and page size to be configured to 528 bytes.

Manufacturer and Device ID Read
Identification information can be read from the device to enable systems to electronically query and identify the device
while it is in the system. The identification method and the command opcode comply with the JEDEC Standard for
“Manufacturer and Device ID Read Methodology for SPI Compatible Serial Interface Memory Devices”. The type of
information that can be read from the device includes the JEDEC-defined Manufacturer ID, the vendor-specific
Device ID, and the vendor-specific Extended Device Information.
The Read Manufacturer and Device ID command is limited to a maximum clock frequency of fCLK. Since not all Flash
devices are capable of operating at very high clock frequencies, applications should be designed to read the
identification information from the devices at a reasonably low clock frequency to ensure that all devices to be used in the
application can be identified properly. Once the identification process is complete, the application can then increase the
clock frequency to accommodate specific Flash devices that are capable of operating at the higher clock frequencies.
To read the identification information, the CS pin must first be asserted and then the opcode 9Fh must be clocked into
the device. After the opcode has been clocked in, the device will begin outputting the identification data on the SO pin
during the subsequent clock cycles. The first byte to be output will be the Manufacturer ID, followed by two bytes of the
Device ID information. The fourth byte output will be the Extended Device Information (EDI) String Length, which will be
01h indicating that one byte of EDI data follows. After the one byte of EDI data is output, the SO pin will go into a
high-impedance state; therefore, additional clock cycles will have no affect on the SO pin and no data will be output. As
indicated in the JEDEC Standard, reading the EDI String Length and any subsequent data is optional.
Deasserting the CS pin will terminate the Manufacturer and Device ID Read operation and put the SO pin into a
high-impedance state. The CS pin can be deasserted at any time and does not require that a full byte of data be read.

Software Reset
In some applications, it may be necessary to prematurely terminate a program or erase cycle early rather than wait the
hundreds of microseconds or milliseconds necessary for the program or erase operation to complete normally. The
Software Reset command allows a program or erase operation in progress to be ended abruptly and returns the device
to an idle state.
To perform a Software Reset, the CS pin must be asserted and a 4-byte command sequence of F0h, 00h, 00h, and 00h
must be clocked into the device. Any additional data clocked into the device after the last byte will be ignored. When the
CS pin is deasserted, the program or erase operation currently in progress will be terminated within a time tSWRST. Since
the program or erase operation may not complete before the device is reset, the contents of the page being programmed
or erased cannot be guaranteed to be valid.
The Software Reset command has no effect on the states of the Sector Protection Register, the Sector Lockdown
Register, or the buffer and page size configuration. The PS2, PS1, and ES bits of the Status Register, however, will be
reset back to their default states. If a Software Reset operation is performed while a sector is erase suspended, the
suspend operation will abort and the contents of the page or block being erased in the suspended sector will be left in an
undefined state. If a Software Reset is performed while a sector is program suspended, the suspend operation will abort
and the contents of the page that was being programmed and subsequently suspended will be undefined. The remaining
pages in the sector will retain their previous contents.
The complete 4-byte opcode must be clocked into the device before the CS pin is deasserted, and the CS pin must be
deasserted on a byte boundary (multiples of eight bits); otherwise, no reset operation will be performed.

Operation Mode Summary
The commands described previously can be grouped into four different categories to better describe which commands
can be executed at what times.
Group A commands consist of:
1. Main Memory Page Read
2. Continuous Array Read (SPI)
3. Read Sector Protection Register
4. Read Sector Lockdown Register
5. Read Security Register
6. Read Configuration Register
Group B commands consist of:
1. Page Erase
2. Block Erase
3. Sector Erase
4. Chip Erase
5. Main Memory Page to Buffer 1 (or 2) Transfer
6. Main Memory Page to Buffer 1 (or 2) Compare
7. Buffer 1 (or 2) to Main Memory Page Program with Built-In Erase
8. Buffer 1 (or 2) to Main Memory Page Program without Built-In Erase
9. Main Memory Page Program through Buffer 1 (or 2) with Built-In Erase
10. Main Memory Byte/Page Program through Buffer 1 without Built-In Erase
11. Auto Page Rewrite
Group C commands consist of:
1. Buffer 1 (or 2) Read
2. Buffer 1 (or 2) Write
3. Status Register Read
4. Manufacturer and Device ID Read
Group D commands consist of:
1. Erase Sector Protection Register
2. Program Sector Protection Register
3. Sector Lockdown
4. Program Security Register
5. Buffer and Page Size Configuration
6. Freeze Sector Lockdown
If a Group A command is in progress (not fully completed), then another command in Group A, B, C, or D should not be
started. However, during the internally self-timed portion of Group B commands, any command in Group C can be
executed. The Group B commands using Buffer 1 should use Group C commands using Buffer 2 and vice versa. Finally,
during the internally self-timed portion of a Group D command, only the Status Register Read command should be
executed.
Most of the commands in Group B can be suspended and resumed, except the Buffer Transfer, Buffer Compare, and
Auto Page Rewrite operations. If a Group B command is suspended, all of the Group A commands can be executed. See
<blue>Table 6-4 to determine which of the Group B, Group C, and Group D commands are allowed.

Power-On/Reset State
When power is first applied to the device, or when recovering from a reset condition, the device will default to SPI
Mode 3. In addition, the output pin (SO) will be in a high impedance state, and a high-to-low transition on the CS pin will
be required to start a valid instruction. The SPI mode (Mode 3 or Mode 0) will be automatically selected on every falling
edge of CS by sampling the inactive clock state.
16.1
Initial Power-Up Timing Restrictions
During power-up, the device must not be accessed for at least the minimum tVCSL time after the supply voltage reaches
the minimum VCC level. While the device is being powered-up, the internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuitry keeps the
device in a reset mode until the supply voltage rises above the maximum POR threshold value (VPOR). During this time,
all operations are disabled and the device will not respond to any commands. After power-up, the device will be in the
standby mode.
If the first operation to the device after power-up will be a program or erase operation, then the operation cannot be
started until the supply voltage reaches the minimum VCC level and an internal device delay has elapsed. This delay will
be a maximum time of tPUW.

System Considerations
The serial interface is controlled by the Serial Clock (SCK), Serial Input (SI), and Chip Select (CS) pins. These signals
must rise and fall monotonically and be free from noise. Excessive noise or ringing on these pins can be misinterpreted
as multiple edges and cause improper operation of the device. PCB traces must be kept to a minimum distance or
appropriately terminated to ensure proper operation. If necessary, decoupling capacitors can be added on these pins to
provide filtering against noise glitches.
As system complexity continues to increase, voltage regulation is becoming more important. A key element of any
voltage regulation scheme is its current sourcing capability. Like all Flash memories, the peak current for DataFlash
devices occurs during the programming and erasing operations. The supply voltage regulator needs to be able to supply
this peak current requirement. An under specified regulator can cause current starvation. Besides increasing system
noise, current starvation during programming or erasing can lead to improper operation and possible data corruption.

Utilizing the RapidS Function
To take advantage of the RapidS function's ability to operate at higher clock frequencies, a full clock cycle must be used
to transmit data back and forth across the serial bus. The DataFlash is designed to always clock its data out on the falling
edge of the SCK signal and clock data in on the rising edge of SCK.
For full clock cycle operation to be achieved, when the DataFlash is clocking data out on the falling edge of SCK, the host
controller should wait until the next falling edge of SCK to latch the data in. Similarly, the host controller should clock its
data out on the rising edge of SCK in order to give the DataFlash a full clock cycle to latch the incoming data in on the
next rising edge of SCK.

AC Waveforms
Four different timing waveforms are shown in <blue>Figure 22-1 through <blue>Figure 22-4. Waveform 1 shows the
SCK signal being low when CS makes a high-to-low transition and Waveform 2 shows the SCK signal being high when
CS makes a
high-to-low transition. In both cases, output SO becomes valid while the SCK signal is still low (SCK low time is specified
as tWL). Timing Waveforms 1 and 2 conform to RapidS serial interface but for frequencies up to 85MHz. Waveforms 1
and 2 are compatible with SPI Mode 0 and SPI Mode 3, respectively.
Waveform 3 and 4 illustrate general timing diagram for RapidS serial interface. These are similar to Waveform 1 and 2,
except that output SO is not restricted to become valid during the tWL period. These timing waveforms are valid over the
full frequency range (maximum frequency = 85MHz) of the RapidS serial case.

This type of algorithm is used for applications in which the entire array is programmed sequentially, filling the
array page-by-page
2.
A page can be written using either a Main Memory Page Program operation or a buffer write operation
followed by a buffer to Main Memory Page Program operation
3.
The algorithm above shows the programming of a single page. The algorithm will be repeated sequentially
for each page within the entire array

Notes: 1.
To preserve data integrity, each page of an DataFlash sector must be updated/rewritten at least once within
every 20,000 cumulative page erase and program operations
2.
A page address pointer must be maintained to indicate which page is to be rewritten. The auto page rewrite
command must use the address specified by the page address pointer
3.
Other algorithms can be used to rewrite portions of the Flash array. Low-power applications may choose to
wait until 20,000 cumulative page erase and program operations have accumulated before rewriting all
pages of the sector. See application note AN-4 (“Using Adesto’s Serial DataFlash”) for more details
