Unless an internal Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the device will be in the Standby mode (this is not the Deep Power-down mode). Driving Chip Select ( S ) Low enables the device, placing it in the active power mode. After Power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select ( S ) is required prior to the start of any instruction. Hold ( HOLD ). The Hold ( HOLD ) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without deselecting the device. During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (DO) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (DIO) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care. To start the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select ( S ) driven Low. SIGNAL DESCRIPTION Serial Data Output (DO). This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The DO pin is also used as an input pin when the Fast Read Dual Input-Output instruction is executed. Serial Data Input (DIO). This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). The DIO pin is also used as an output pin when the Fast Read Dual Output instruction and the Fast Read Dual Input-Output instruction are executed. Serial Clock (C). This input signal provides the timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data present at Serial Data Input (DIO) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data on Serial Data Output (DO) changes after the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). Chip Select ( S ). When this input signal is High, the device is deselected and Serial Data Output (DO) is at high PRELIMINARY (November, 2014, Version 0.2) Write Protect ( W ). The main purpose of this input signal is to freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected against program or erase instructions (as specified by the values in the BP2, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register). 3 AMIC Technology Corp. A25P020 Series SPI MODES falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 2, is the clock polarity when the bus master is in Stand-by mode and not transferring data: – C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)Æ Mode 0 – C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)Æ Mode 3 These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of the two following modes: – CPOL=0, CPHA=0 – CPOL=1, CPHA=1 For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and output data is available from the Figure 1.

A25P020 Series OPERATING FEATURES Page Programming Status Register To program one data byte, two instructions are required: Write Enable (WREN), which is one byte, and a Page Program (PP) sequence, which consists of four bytes plus data. This is followed by the internal Program cycle (of duration tPP). To spread this overhead, the Page Program (PP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes be programming at a time (changing bits from 1 to 0), providing that they lie in consecutive addresses on the same page of memory. The Status Register contains a number of status and control bits that can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific instructions. See Read Status Register (RDSR) for a detailed description of the Status Register bits. Protection Modes The environments where non-volatile memory devices are used can be very noisy. No SPI device can operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the A25P020 boasts the following data protection mechanisms: Power-On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide protection against inadvertent changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification. Program, Erase and Write Status Register instructions are checked that they consist of a number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for execution. All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state by the following events: - Power-up - Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion - Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion - Page Program (PP) instruction completion - Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion - Block Erase (BE) instruction completion - Chip Erase (CE) instruction completion The Sector/Block Protect (SEC, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits allow part of the memory to be configured as read-only. This is the Software Protected Mode (SPM). The Write Protect ( W ) signal allows the Sector/Block Protect (SEC, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits and Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit to be protected. This is the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). In addition to the low power consumption feature, the Deep Power-down mode offers extra software protection from inadvertent Write, Program and Erase instructions, as all instructions are ignored except one particular instruction (the Release from Deep Power-down instruction). Sector Erase, Block Erase, and Chip Erase The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bits to be reset from 1 to 0. Before this can be applied, the bytes of memory need to have been erased to all 1s (FFh). This can be achieved, a sector at a time, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, a block at a time, using the Block Erase (BE) instruction, or throughout the entire memory, using the Chip Erase (CE) instruction. This starts an internal Erase cycle (of duration tSE, tBE, or tCE). The Erase instruction must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. Polling During a Write, Program or Erase Cycle A further improvement in the time to Write Status Register (WRSR), Program (PP) or Erase (SE, BE, or CE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst case delay (tW, tPP, tSE, tBE, tCE). The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is provided in the Status Register so that the application program can monitor its value, polling it to establish when the previous Write cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle is complete. Active Power, Stand-by Power and Deep Power-Down Modes When Chip Select ( S ) is Low, the device is enabled, and in the Active Power mode. When Chip Select ( S ) is High, the device is disabled, but could remain in the Active Power mode until all internal cycles have completed (Program, Erase, Write Status Register). The device then goes in to the Stand-by Power mode. The device consumption drops to ICC1. The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the specific instruction (the Deep Power-down Mode (DP) instruction) is executed. The device consumption drops further to ICC2. The device remains in this mode until another specific instruction (the Release from Deep Power-down Mode and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction) is executed. All other instructions are ignored while the device is in the Deep Power-down mode. This can be used as an extra software protection mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to protect the device from inadvertent Write, Program or Erase instructions.

A25P020 Series Hold Condition Serial Clock (C) next goes Low. This is shown in Figure 3. During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (DO) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (DIO) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care. Normally, the device is kept selected, with Chip Select ( S ) driven Low, for the whole duration of the Hold condition. This is to ensure that the state of the internal logic remains unchanged from the moment of entering the Hold condition. If Chip Select ( S ) goes High while the device is in the Hold condition, this has the effect of resetting the internal logic of the device. To restart communication with the device, it is necessary to drive Hold ( HOLD ) High, and then to drive The Hold ( HOLD ) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without resetting the clocking sequence. However, taking this signal Low does not terminate any Write Status Register, Program or Erase cycle that is currently in progress. To enter the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select ( S ) Low. The Hold condition starts on the falling edge of the Hold ( HOLD ) signal, provided that this coincides with Serial Clock (C) being Low (as shown in Figure 3.). The Hold condition ends on the rising edge of the Hold ( HOLD ) signal, provided that this coincides with Serial Clock (C) being Low. If the falling edge does not coincide with Serial Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition starts after Serial Clock (C) next goes Low. Similarly, if the rising edge does not coincide with Serial Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition ends after Chip Select ( S ) Low. This prevents the device from going back to the Hold condition.

The device is Sector, Block, or Chip Erasable (bits are erased from 0 to 1) but not Page Erasable. The memory is organized as: 262,144 bytes (8 bits each) 4 64-Kbytes blocks 64 4-Kbytes sectors 1024 pages (256 bytes each). Table 2.

A25P020 Series INSTRUCTIONS All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, most significant bit first. Serial Data Input (DIO) is sampled on the first rising edge of Serial Clock (C) after Chip Select ( S ) is driven Low. Then, the one-byte instruction code must be shifted in to the device, most significant bit first, on Serial Data Input (DIO), each bit being latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C). The instruction set is listed in Table 3. Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code. Depending on the instruction, this might be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none. In the case of a Read Data Bytes (READ), Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast_Read), Read Status Register (RDSR) or Release from Deep Power-down, Read Device Identification and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. Chip Select ( S ) can be driven High after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out. In the case of a Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Block Erase (BE), Chip Erase (CE), Write Status Register (WRSR), Write Enable (WREN), Write Disable (WRDI) or Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, Chip Select ( S ) must be driven High exactly at a byte boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is not executed. That is, Chip Select ( S ) must driven High when the number of clock pulses after Chip Select ( S ) being driven Low is an exact multiple of eight. All attempts to access the memory array during a Write Status Register cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle are ignored, and the internal Write Status Register cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle continues unaffected.

A25P020 Series Read Status Register (RDSR) The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction allows the Status Register to be read. The Status Register may be read at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also possible to read the Status Register continuously, as shown in Figure 6. Table 4.

The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is a read only bit in the status register (b0) that is set to a 1 state when the device is busy with a Write Status Register, Program or Erase cycle. During this time the device will ignore further instructions except for the Read Status Register instructions(see tW, tPP, tSE, tBE, and tCE in AC Characteristics). When the program, erase, write status register instruction has completed, the WIP bit will be cleared to a 0 state indicating the device is ready for further instructions. PRELIMINARY (November, 2014, Version 0.2) WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is a read only bit in the status register (b1) that is set to a 1 after executing a Write Enable Instruction. The WEL status bit is cleared to a 0 when the device is write disabled. A write disable state occurs upon power-up or after any completion of the following instructions: Write Disable, Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, and Write Status Register. BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register (b4, b3, and b2) that provide Write Protection control and status. Block Protect bits can be set using the Write Status Register Instruction (see tW in AC characteristics). All, none or a portion of the memory array can be protected from Program and Erase instructions (see Table 1. Protected Area Sizes). These bits can be set with the Write Status Register Instruction depending on the state of the SRWD, and WEL bit. The factory default setting for the Block Protect Bits is 0 which means none of the array protected. TB bit. The non-volatile Top/Bottom (TB) bit controls if the Block/Sector Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0, SEC) protect from the Top or the Bottom of the array as shown in Table 1. Protected Area Sizes. The factory default setting is TB=0. The TB bit can be set with the Write Status Register Instruction depending on the state of the SRWD, and WEL bit. SEC bit. The non-volatile Sector Protect (SEC) bit in the status register (b6) controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect 4KB Sectors (SEC=1) or 64KB Blocks (SEC=0) in the Top or the Bottom of the array as shown in Table 1. Protected Area Sizes. This bit can be set with the Write Status Register Instruction depending on the state of the SRWD, and WEL bit. The factory default setting for SEC is 0. SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable bit SRWD is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (b7). The SRWD bit controls the method of write protection: software protection, hardware protection. The factory default setting for SRWD is 0. 11 AMIC Technology Corp. A25P020 Series Figure 6.

A25P020 Series Write Status Register The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows new values to be written to the Status Register. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL). The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the Sector/Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in Table 1. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the Write Protect ( W ) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect ( W ) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered. driving Chip Select ( S ) Low, followed by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data Input (DIO). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 7. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b1 and b0 of the Status Register. b6 and b5 are always read as 0. Chip Select ( S ) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select ( S ) is driven High, the self-timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Figure 7.

See Table 1 for more details. The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 5. When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery state), it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction, regardless of the whether Write Protect ( W ) is driven High or Low. When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write Protect ( W ): If Write Protect ( W ) is driven High, it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not possible to write to the Status Register even if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. (Attempts to write to the Status Register are rejected, and are not accepted for execution). PRELIMINARY (November, 2014, Version 0.2) As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are software protected (SPM) by the Sector/Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, are also hardware protected against data modification. Regardless of the order of the two events, the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can be entered: by setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect ( W ) Low or by driving Write Protect ( W ) Low after setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit. The only way to exit the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) once entered is to pull Write Protect ( W ) High. If Write Protect ( W ) is permanently tied High, the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can never be activated, and only the Software Protected Mode (SPM), using the Sector/Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, can be used. 14 AMIC Technology Corp. A25P020 Series Read Data Bytes (READ) The device is first selected by driving Chip Select ( S ) Low. The instruction code for the Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (DO), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction. When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely. The Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select ( S ) High. Chip Select ( S ) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 8.

The Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) The device is first selected by driving Chip Select ( S ) Low. The instruction code for the Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (DO), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).

PRELIMINARY (November, 2014, Version 0.2) 16 AMIC Technology Corp. A25P020 Series Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) The Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction is similar to the Fast_Read (0Bh) instruction except the data is output on two pins, DO and DIO, instead of just DO. This allows data to be transferred from the A25P020 at twice the rate of standard SPI devices. Similar to the Fast Read instruction, the Fast Read Dual Output instruction can operate at the highest possible frequency of fC (See AC Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight “dummy” clocks after the 24-bit address as shown in figure 10. The dummy clocks allow the device’s internal circuits additional time for setting up the initial address. The input data during the dummy clocks is “don’t care”. However, the DIO pin should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock. Figure 10.

A25P020 Series Deep Power-down (DP) The Deep Power-down mode automatically stops at Power-down, and the device always Powers-up in the Standby mode. The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is entered by driving Executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is the only way to put the device in the lowest consumption mode (the Deep Power-down mode). It can also be used as an extra software protection mechanism, while the device is not in active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase instructions. Chip Select ( S ) Low, followed by the instruction code on Serial Data Input (DIO). Chip Select ( S ) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16. Driving Chip Select ( S ) High deselects the device, and puts the device in the Standby mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the Deep Power-down mode. The Deep Power-down mode can only be entered by executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, to reduce the standby current (from ICC1 to ICC2, as specified in DC Characteristics Table.). Chip Select ( S ) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been latched in, otherwise the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select ( S ) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the Deep Power-down mode is entered. Any Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Once the device has entered the Deep Power-down mode, all instructions are ignored except the Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction. This releases the device from this mode. The Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction also allows the Electronic Signature of the device to be output on Serial Data Output (DO). Figure 16.

The manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC, and has the value 37h. The device identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and indicates the memory in the first bytes (30h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte. Any Read Identification (RDID) instruction while an Erase, or Program cycle is in progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. This is followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory, being shifted out on Serial Data Output (DO), each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17. The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select ( S ) High at any time during data output. When Chip Select ( S ) is driven High, the device is put in the Stand-by Power mode. Once in the Stand-by Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. The device is first selected by driving Chip Select ( S ) Low.

A25P020 Series High Performance Mode (HPM) The High Performance Mode (HPM) instruction can be executed prior to Dual I/O instructions if chip is operated at high frequencies. This instruction allows pre-charging of internal charge pumps so the voltages required for accessing the Flash memory array are readily available. The instruction sequence includes the A3h instruction code followed by three dummy byte clocks shown in Fig.21. After the HPM instruction is executed, the device will maintain a slightly higher standby current than standard SPI operation. The Release from Power-down (ABh) can be used to return to standard SPI standby current (ICC1). In addition, Write Enable instruction (06h) and Power Down instruction (B9h) will also release the device from HPM mode back to standard SPI standby state. Figure 21.

A25P020 Series POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN At Power-up and Power-down, the device must not be selected (that is Chip Select ( S ) must follow the voltage applied on VCC) until VCC reaches the correct value: VCC (min) at Power-up, and then for a further delay of tVSL VSS at Power-down Usually a simple pull-up resistor on Chip Select ( S ) can be used to insure safe and proper Power-up and Power-down. To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write operations during power up, a Power On Reset (POR) circuit is included. The logic inside the device is held reset while VCC is less than the POR threshold value, VWI – all operations are disabled, and the device does not respond to any instruction. Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable (WREN), Program OTP (POTP), Page Program (PP), Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP), Quad Input Fast Program (QIFP), Sector Erase (SE), Block Erase (BE), Chip Erase (CE) and Write Status Register (WRSR) instructions until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the VWI threshold. However, the correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if, by this time, VCC is still below VCC(min). No Write Status Register, Program or Erase instructions should be sent until the later of: tPUW after VCC passed the VWI threshold - tVSL afterVCC passed the VCC(min) level These values are specified in Table 8. If the delay, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC has risen above VCC(min), the device can be selected for Read instructions even if the tPUW delay is not yet fully elapsed. At Power-up, the device is in the following state: The device is in the Standby mode (not the Deep Power-down mode). The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to stabilize the VCC feed. Each device in a system should have the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package pins. (Generally, this capacitor is of the order of 0.1µF). At Power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to below the POR threshold value, VWI, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond to any instruction. (The designer needs to be aware that if a Power-down occurs while a Write, Program or Erase cycle is in progress, some data corruption can result.) Figure 22.
