PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SST’s serial flash family features a four-wire, SPI-compatible interface that allows for a low pin-count package occupying less board space and ultimately lowering total system
costs. SST25VF512 SPI serial flash memory is manufactured with SST’s proprietary, high-performance CMOS
SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design and
thick-oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and
manufacturability compared with alternate approaches.
The SST25VF512 device significantly improves performance, while lowering power consumption. The total
energy consumed is a function of the applied voltage, cur-

rent, and time of application. Since for any given voltage
range, the SuperFlash technology uses less current to program and has a shorter erase time, the total energy consumed during any Erase or Program operation is less than
alternative flash memory technologies. The SST25VF512
device operates with a single 2.7-3.6V power supply.
The SST25VF512 device is offered in both 8-lead SOIC
and 8-contact WSON packages. See Figure 1 for the pin
assignments.

DEVICE OPERATION
The SST25VF512 is accessed through the SPI (Serial
Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol. The SPI bus
consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is used to
select the device, and data is accessed through the Serial
Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and Serial Clock
(SCK).

SST25VF512
The SST25VF512 supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and Mode 3
(1,1) of SPI bus operations. The difference between the
two modes, as shown in Figure 2, is the state of the SCK
signal when the bus master is in Stand-by mode and no
data is being transferred. The SCK signal is low for Mode 0
and SCK signal is high for Mode 3. For both modes, the
Serial Data In (SI) is sampled at the rising edge of the SCK
clock signal and the Serial Data Output (SO) is driven after
the falling edge of the SCK clock signal.

Hold Operation
coincide with the SCK active low state, then the device
exits in Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the active
low state. See Figure 3 for Hold Condition waveform.
HOLD# pin is used to pause a serial sequence underway
with the SPI flash memory without resetting the clocking
sequence. To activate the HOLD# mode, CE# must be in
active low state. The HOLD# mode begins when the SCK
active low state coincides with the falling edge of the
HOLD# signal. The HOLD mode ends when the HOLD#
signal’s rising edge coincides with the SCK active low state.
Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in highimpedance state while SI and SCK can be VIL or VIH.
If CE# is driven active high during a Hold condition, it resets
the internal logic of the device. As long as HOLD# signal is
low, the memory remains in the Hold condition. To resume
communication with the device, HOLD# must be driven
active high, and CE# must be driven active low. See Figure
17 for Hold timing.
If the falling edge of the HOLD# signal does not coincide
with the SCK active low state, then the device enters Hold
mode when the SCK next reaches the active low state.
Similarly, if the rising edge of the HOLD# signal does not

Write Protection
The SST25VF512 provides software Write protection. The
Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lock-down
function of the status register. The Block-Protection bits
(BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status register provide Write
protection to the memory array and the status register. See
Table 4 for Block-Protection description.

The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down function of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register. When WP#
is driven low, the execution of the Write-Status-Register
(WRSR) instruction is determined by the value of the BPL
bit (see Table 3). When WP# is high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled.

Status Register
Block Protection (BP1, BP0)
The software status register provides status on whether the
flash memory array is available for any Read or Write operation, whether the device is Write enabled, and the state of
the memory Write protection. During an internal Erase or
Program operation, the status register may be read only to
determine the completion of an operation in progress.
Table 5 describes the function of each bit in the software
status register.
The Block-Protection (BP1, BP0) bits define the size of the
memory area, as defined in Table 4, to be software protected against any memory Write (Program or Erase)
operations. The Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction
is used to program the BP1 and BP0 bits as long as WP#
is high or the Block-Protect-Lock (BPL) bit is 0. Chip-Erase
can only be executed if Block-Protection bits are both 0.
After power-up, BP1 and BP0 are set to 1.
Busy
Block Protection Lock-Down (BPL)
The Busy bit determines whether there is an internal Erase
or Program operation in progress. A “1” for the Busy bit indicates the device is busy with an operation in progress. A “0”
indicates the device is ready for the next valid operation.
WP# pin driven low (VIL), enables the Block-ProtectionLock-Down (BPL) bit. When BPL is set to 1, it prevents any
further alteration of the BPL, BP1, and BP0 bits. When the
WP# pin is driven high (VIH), the BPL bit has no effect and
its value is “Don’t Care”. After power-up, the BPL bit is
reset to 0.
Write Enable Latch (WEL)
The Write-Enable-Latch bit indicates the status of the internal memory Write Enable Latch. If the Write-Enable-Latch
bit is set to “1”, it indicates the device is Write enabled. If the
bit is set to “0” (reset), it indicates the device is not Write
enabled and does not accept any memory Write (Program/
Erase) commands. The Write-Enable-Latch bit is automatically reset under the following conditions:

(WREN) instruction must be executed first. The complete
list of the instructions is provided in Table 6. All instructions
are synchronized off a high to low transition of CE#. Inputs
will be accepted on the rising edge of SCK starting with the
most significant bit. CE# must be driven low before an
instruction is entered and must be driven high after the last
bit of the instruction has been shifted in (except for Read,
Read-ID and Read-Status-Register instructions). Any low
to high transition on CE#, before receiving the last bit of an
instruction bus cycle, will terminate the instruction in
progress and return the device to the standby mode.
Instruction commands (Op Code), addresses, and data are
all input from the most significant bit (MSB) first.
Auto Address Increment (AAI)
The Auto Address Increment Programming-Status bit provides status on whether the device is in AAI programming
mode or Byte-Program mode. The default at power up is
Byte-Program mode.
Instructions
Instructions are used to Read, Write (Erase and Program),
and configure the SST25VF512. The instruction bus cycles
are 8 bits each for commands (Op Code), data, and
addresses. Prior to executing any Byte-Program, Auto

The Read-Status-Register (RDSR) instruction allows reading of the status register. The status register may be read at
any time even during a Write (Program/Erase) operation.
When a Write operation is in progress, the Busy bit may be
checked before sending any new commands to assure that
the new commands are properly received by the device.

The Enable-Write-Status-Register (EWSR) instruction

When WP# is high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is
disabled and the BPL, BP0, and BP1 bits in the status register can all be changed. As long as BPL bit is set to 0 or
WP# pin is driven high (VIH) prior to the low-to-high transition of the CE# pin at the end of the WRSR instruction, the
BP0, BP1, and BPL bit in the status register can all be
altered by the WRSR instruction. In this case, a single
WRSR instruction can set the BPL bit to “1” to lock down
the status register as well as altering the BP0 and BP1 bit
at the same time. See Table 3 for a summary description of
WP# and BPL functions. CE# must be driven low before
the command sequence of the WRSR instruction is
entered and driven high before the WRSR instruction is
executed. See Figure 13 for EWSR and WRSR instruction
sequences.
Write-Status-Register (WRSR)
The Write-Status-Register instruction works in conjunction
with the Enable-Write-Status-Register (EWSR) instruction
to write new values to the BP1, BP0, and BPL bits of the
status register. The Write-Status-Register instruction must
be executed immediately after the execution of the EnableWrite-Status-Register instruction (very next instruction bus
cycle). This two-step instruction sequence of the EWSR
instruction followed by the WRSR instruction works like
SDP (software data protection) command structure which
prevents any accidental alteration of the status register values. The Write-Status-Register instruction will be ignored
when WP# is low and BPL bit is set to “1”. When the WP#
is low, the BPL bit can only be set from “0” to “1” to lockdown the status register, but cannot be reset from “1” to “0”.
