GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W25Q16BV (16M-bit) Serial Flash memory provides a storage solution for systems with limited
space, pins and power. The 25Q series offers flexibility and performance well beyond ordinary Serial
Flash devices. They are ideal for code shadowing to RAM, executing code directly from Dual/Quad SPI
(XIP) and storing voice, text and data. The devices operate on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply with
current consumption as low as 4mA active and 1µA for power-down. All devices are offered in spacesaving packages.
The W25Q16BV array is organized into 8,192 programmable pages of 256-bytes each. Up to 256 bytes
can be programmed at a time. Pages can be erased in groups of 16 (sector erase), groups of 128 (32KB
block erase), groups of 256 (64KB block erase) or the entire chip (chip erase). The W25Q16BV has 512
erasable sectors and 32 erasable blocks respectively. The small 4KB sectors allow for greater flexibility in
applications that require data and parameter storage. (See figure 2.)
The W25Q16BV supports the standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and a high performance
Dual/Quad output as well as Dual/Quad I/O SPI: Serial Clock, Chip Select, Serial Data I/O0 (DI), I/O1
(DO), I/O2 (/WP), and I/O3 (/HOLD). SPI clock frequencies of up to 104MHz are supported allowing
equivalent clock rates of 208MHz for Dual Output and 416MHz for Quad Output when using the Fast
Read Dual/Quad Output instructions. These transfer rates can outperform standard Asynchronous 8 and
16-bit Parallel Flash memories. The Continuous Read Mode allows for efficient memory access with as
few as 8-clocks of instruction-overhead to read a 24-bit address, allowing true XIP (execute in place)
operation.
A Hold pin, Write Protect pin and programmable write protection, with top or bottom array control,
provide further control flexibility. Additionally, the device supports JEDEC standard manufacturer and
device identification with a 64-bit Unique Serial Number.

Package Types
W25Q16BV is offered in an 8-pin plastic 150-mil or 208-mil width SOIC (package code SN & SS) and
6x5-mm WSON (package code ZP) as shown in figure 1a, and 1b, respectively. The 300-mil 8-pin PDIP
is another option of package selections (Figure 1c). The W25Q16BV is also offered in a 16-pin plastic
300-mil width SOIC (package code SF) as shown in figure 1d. Package diagrams and dimensions are
illustrated at the end of this datasheet.
8.2
Chip Select (/CS)
The SPI Chip Select (/CS) pin enables and disables device operation. When /CS is high the device is
deselected and the Serial Data Output (DO, or IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3) pins are at high impedance. When
deselected, the devices power consumption will be at standby levels unless an internal erase, program or
status register cycle is in progress. When /CS is brought low the device will be selected, power
consumption will increase to active levels and instructions can be written to and data read from the
device. After power-up, /CS must transition from high to low before a new instruction will be accepted.
The /CS input must track the VCC supply level at power-up (see “Write Protection” and figure 32). If
needed a pull-up resister on /CS can be used to accomplish this.
8.3
Serial Data Input, Output and IOs (DI, DO and IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3)
The W25Q16BV supports standard SPI, Dual SPI and Quad SPI operation. Standard SPI instructions use
the unidirectional DI (input) pin to serially write instructions, addresses or data to the device on the rising
edge of the Serial Clock (CLK) input pin. Standard SPI also uses the unidirectional DO (output) to read
data or status from the device on the falling edge CLK.
Dual and Quad SPI instruction use the bidirectional IO pins to serially write instructions, addresses or
data to the device on the rising edge of CLK and read data or status from the device on the falling edge of
CLK. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 to be set.
When QE=1 the /WP pin becomes IO2 and /HOLD pin becomes IO3.
8.4
Write Protect (/WP)
The Write Protect (/WP) pin can be used to prevent the Status Register from being written. Used in
conjunction with the Status Register’s Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits and Status
Register Protect (SRP) bits, a portion or the entire memory array can be hardware protected. The /WP
pin is active low. When the QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O, the /WP pin (Hardware Write
Protect) function is not available since this pin is used for IO2. See figure 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d for the pin
configuration of Quad I/O operation.
8.5
HOLD (/HOLD)
The /HOLD pin allows the device to be paused while it is actively selected. When /HOLD is brought low,
while /CS is low, the DO pin will be at high impedance and signals on the DI and CLK pins will be ignored
(don’t care). When /HOLD is brought high, device operation can resume. The /HOLD function can be
useful when multiple devices are sharing the same SPI signals. The /HOLD pin is active low. When the
QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O, the /HOLD pin function is not available since this pin is
used for IO3. See figure 1a-d for the pin configuration of Quad I/O operation.
8.6
Serial Clock (CLK)
The SPI Serial Clock Input (CLK) pin provides the timing for serial input and output operations. ("See SPI
Operations")

W25Q16BV
10. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
10.1 SPI OPERATIONS
10.1.1 Standard SPI Instructions
The W25Q16BV is accessed through an SPI compatible bus consisting of four signals: Serial Clock
(CLK), Chip Select (/CS), Serial Data Input (DI) and Serial Data Output (DO). Standard SPI instructions
use the DI input pin to serially write instructions, addresses or data to the device on the rising edge of
CLK. The DO output pin is used to read data or status from the device on the falling edge CLK.
SPI bus operation Modes 0 (0,0) and 3 (1,1) are supported. The primary difference between Mode 0 and
Mode 3 concerns the normal state of the CLK signal when the SPI bus master is in standby and data is
not being transferred to the Serial Flash. For Mode 0 the CLK signal is normally low on the falling and
rising edges of /CS. For Mode 3 the CLK signal is normally high on the falling and rising edges of /CS.
10.1.2 Dual SPI Instructions
The W25Q16BV supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Fast Read Dual Output and Dual I/O” (3B
and BB hex) instructions. These instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device at two to
three times the rate of ordinary Serial Flash devices. The Dual Read instructions are ideal for quickly
downloading code to RAM upon power-up (code-shadowing) or for executing non-speed-critical code
directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Dual SPI instructions the DI and DO pins become
bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.
10.1.3 Quad SPI Instructions
The W25Q16BV supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Fast Read Quad Output”, “Fast Read
Quad I/O”, “Word Read Quad I/O” and “Octal Word Quad I/O” (6B, EB, E7 and E3 hex respectively).
These instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device four to six times the rate of ordinary
Serial Flash. The Quad Read instructions offer a significant improvement in continuous and random
access transfer rates allowing fast code-shadowing to RAM or execution directly from the SPI bus (XIP).
When using Quad SPI instructions the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the /WP
and /HOLD pins become IO2 and IO3 respectively. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad
Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 to be set.
10.1.4 Hold Function
The /HOLD signal allows the W25Q16BV operation to be paused while it is actively selected (when /CS is
low). The /HOLD function may be useful in cases where the SPI data and clock signals are shared with
other devices. For example, consider if the page buffer was only partially written when a priority interrupt
requires use of the SPI bus. In this case the /HOLD function can save the state of the instruction and the
data in the buffer so programming can resume where it left off once the bus is available again. The
/HOLD function is only available for standard SPI and Dual SPI operation, not during Quad SPI.
To initiate a /HOLD condition, the device must be selected with /CS low. A /HOLD condition will activate
on the falling edge of the /HOLD signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low the
/HOLD condition will activate after the next falling edge of CLK. The /HOLD condition will terminate on the
rising edge of the /HOLD signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low the /HOLD
condition will terminate after the next falling edge of CLK. During a /HOLD condition, the Serial Data
Output (DO) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (DI) and Serial Clock (CLK) are ignored. The Chip
Select (/CS) signal should be kept active (low) for the full duration of the /HOLD operation to avoid
resetting the internal logic state of the device.

10.2 WRITE PROTECTION
Applications that use non-volatile memory must take into consideration the possibility of noise and other
adverse system conditions that may compromise data integrity. To address this concern the W25Q16BV
provides several means to protect data from inadvertent writes.
10.2.1 Write Protect Features
•
Device resets when VCC is below threshold
•
Time delay write disable after Power-up
•
Write enable/disable instructions and automatic write disable after program and erase
•
Software and Hardware (/WP pin) write protection using Status Register
•
Write Protection using Power-down instruction
•
Lock Down write protection until next power-up(1)
•
One Time Program (OTP) write protection(1)
Note 1: These features are available upon special order. Please refer to Ordering Information.
Upon power-up or at power-down, the W25Q16BV will maintain a reset condition while VCC is below the
threshold value of VWI, (See Power-up Timing and Voltage Levels and Figure 32). While reset, all
operations are disabled and no instructions are recognized. During power-up and after the VCC voltage
exceeds VWI, all program and erase related instructions are further disabled for a time delay of tPUW. This
includes the Write Enable, Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase and the Write Status
Register instructions. Note that the chip select pin (/CS) must track the VCC supply level at power-up until
the VCC-min level and tVSL time delay is reached. If needed a pull-up resister on /CS can be used to
accomplish this.
After power-up the device is automatically placed in a write-disabled state with the Status Register Write
Enable Latch (WEL) set to a 0. A Write Enable instruction must be issued before a Page Program, Sector
Erase, Chip Erase or Write Status Register instruction will be accepted. After completing a program,
erase or write instruction the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is automatically cleared to a write-disabled state
of 0.
Software controlled write protection is facilitated using the Write Status Register instruction and setting
the Status Register Protect (SRP0, SRP1) and Block Protect (SEC,TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits. These
settings allow a portion or all of the memory to be configured as read only. Used in conjunction with the
Write Protect (/WP) pin, changes to the Status Register can be enabled or disabled under hardware
control. See Status Register for further information. Additionally, the Power-down instruction offers an
extra level of write protection as all instructions are ignored except for the Release Power-down
instruction.

CONTROL AND STATUS REGISTERS
The Read Status Register-1 and Status Register-2 instructions can be used to provide status on the
availability of the Flash memory array, if the device is write enabled or disabled, the state of write
protection, the Quad SPI setting and Erase Suspend status. The Write Status Register instruction can be
used to configure the devices write protection features and Quad SPI setting. Write access to the Status
Register is controlled by the state of the non-volatile Status Register Protect bits (SRP0, SRP1), the Write
Enable instruction, and in some cases the /WP pin.
11.1 STATUS REGISTER
11.1.1 BUSY
BUSY is a read only bit in the status register (S0) that is set to a 1 state when the device is executing a
Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase or Write Status Register instruction. During this
time the device will ignore further instructions except for the Read Status Register and Erase Suspend
instruction (see tW, tPP, tSE, tBE, and tCE in AC Characteristics). When the program, erase or write status
register instruction has completed, the BUSY bit will be cleared to a 0 state indicating the device is ready
for further instructions.
11.1.2 Write Enable Latch (WEL)
Write Enable Latch (WEL) is a read only bit in the status register (S1) 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 of the following instructions: Write Disable, Page
Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase and Write Status Register.
11.1.3 Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0)
The Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register (S4, S3, and
S2) 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 Status Register Memory Protection table). The
factory default setting for the Block Protection Bits is 0, none of the array protected.
11.1.4 Top/Bottom Block Protect (TB)
The non-volatile Top/Bottom bit (TB) controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect from the
Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array as shown in the Status Register Memory Protection table.
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 SRP0, SRP1 and WEL bits.
11.1.5 Sector/Block Protect (SEC)
The non-volatile Sector protect bit (SEC) controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect 4KB
Sectors (SEC=1) or 64KB Blocks (SEC=0) in the Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array as shown
in the Status Register Memory Protection table. The default setting is SEC=0.

2. When SRP1, SRP0 = (1, 0), a power-down, power-up cycle will change SRP1, SRP0 to (0, 0) state.
11.1.7 Erase Suspend Status (SUS)
The Suspend Status bit is a read only bit in the status register (S15) that is set to 1 after executing an
Erase Suspend (75h) instruction. The SUS status bit is cleared to 0 by Erase Resume (7Ah) instruction
as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.
11.1.8 Quad Enable (QE)
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (S9) that allows Quad SPI
operation. When the QE bit is set to a 0 state (factory default), the /WP pin and /HOLD are enabled.
When the QE bit is set to a 1, the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled, and /WP and /HOLD functions are
disabled.
WARNING: If the /WP or /HOLD pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground during
standard SPI or Dual SPI operation, the QE bit should never be set to a 1.

11.2 INSTRUCTIONS
The instruction set of the W25Q16BV consists of thirty basic instructions that are fully controlled through
the SPI bus (see Instruction Set table1-3). Instructions are initiated with the falling edge of Chip Select
(/CS). The first byte of data clocked into the DI input provides the instruction code. Data on the DI input is
sampled on the rising edge of clock with most significant bit (MSB) first.
Instructions vary in length from a single byte to several bytes and may be followed by address bytes, data
bytes, dummy bytes (don’t care), and in some cases, a combination. Instructions are completed with the
rising edge of edge /CS. Clock relative timing diagrams for each instruction are included in figures 4
through 32. All read instructions can be completed after any clocked bit. However, all instructions that
Write, Program or Erase must complete on a byte boundary (/CS driven high after a full 8-bits have been
clocked) otherwise the instruction will be terminated. This feature further protects the device from
inadvertent writes. Additionally, while the memory is being programmed or erased, or when the Status
Register is being written, all instructions except for Read Status Register will be ignored until the program
or erase cycle has completed.

11.2.5 Write Enable (06h)
The Write Enable instruction (Figure 4) sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register to a
1. The WEL bit must be set prior to every Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase and
Write Status Register instruction. The Write Enable instruction is entered by driving /CS low, shifting the
instruction code “06h” into the Data Input (DI) pin on the rising edge of CLK, and then driving /CS high.
Figure 4. Write Enable Instruction Sequence Diagram
11.2.6 Write Disable (04h)
The Write Disable instruction (Figure 5) resets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register to
a 0. The Write Disable instruction is entered by driving /CS low, shifting the instruction code “04h” into the
DI pin and then driving /CS high. Note that the WEL bit is automatically reset after Power-up and upon
completion of the Write Status Register, Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase and Chip Erase
instructions.

11.2.7 Read Status Register-1 (05h) and Read Status Register-2 (35h)
The Read Status Register instructions allow the 8-bit Status Registers to be read. The instruction is
entered by driving /CS low and shifting the instruction code “05h” for Status Register-1 and “35h” for
Status Register-2 into the DI pin on the rising edge of CLK. The status register bits are then shifted out on
the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in figure 6. The Status
Register bits are shown in figure 3a and 3b and include the BUSY, WEL, BP2-BP0, TB, SEC, SRP0,
SRP1, QE and SUS bits (see description of the Status Register earlier in this datasheet).
The Read Status Register instruction may be used at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write
Status Register cycle is in progress. This allows the BUSY status bit to be checked to determine when
the cycle is complete and if the device can accept another instruction. The Status Register can be read
continuously, as shown in Figure 6. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.
Figure 6. Read Status Register Instruction Sequence Diagram
- 22 -
W25Q16BV
11.2.8 Write Status Register (01h)
The Write Status Register instruction allows the Status Register to be written. A Write Enable instruction
must previously have been executed for the device to accept the Write Status Register Instruction (Status
Register bit WEL must equal 1). Once write enabled, the instruction is entered by driving /CS low,
sending the instruction code “01h”, and then writing the status register data byte as illustrated in figure 7.
The Status Register bits are shown in figure 3 and described earlier in this datasheet.
Only non-volatile Status Register bits SRP0, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0 (bits 7, 5, 4, 3, 2 of Status
Register-1) and QE, SRP1(bits 9 and 8 of Status Register-2) can be written to. All other Status Register
bit locations are read-only and will not be affected by the Write Status Register instruction.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth or sixteenth bit of data that is clocked in. If this is not
done the Write Status Register instruction will not be executed. If /CS is driven high after the eighth clock
(compatible with the 25X series) the QE and SRP1 bits will be cleared to 0. After /CS is driven high, the
self-timed Write Status Register cycle will commence for a time duration of tW (See AC Characteristics).
While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be
accessed to check the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Write Status Register cycle
and a 0 when the cycle is finished and ready to accept other instructions again. After the Write Register
cycle has finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register will be cleared to 0.
The Write Status Register instruction allows the Block Protect bits (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) to be
set for protecting all, a portion, or none of the memory from erase and program instructions. Protected
areas become read-only (see Status Register Memory Protection table and description). The Write Status
Register instruction also allows the Status Register Protect bits (SRP0, SRP1) to be set. Those bits are
used in conjunction with the Write Protect (/WP) pin, Lock out or OTP features to disable writes to the
status register. Please refer to 11.1.6 for detailed descriptions regarding Status Register protection
methods. Factory default for all status Register bits are 0.

W25Q16BV
11.2.9 Read Data (03h)
The Read Data instruction allows one more data bytes to be sequentially read from the memory. The
instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and then shifting the instruction code “03h” followed by
a 24-bit address (A23-A0) into the DI pin. The code and address bits are latched on the rising edge of the
CLK pin. After the address is received, the data byte of the addressed memory location will be shifted out
on the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first. The address is automatically
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out allowing for a continuous
stream of data. This means that the entire memory can be accessed with a single instruction as long as
the clock continues. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.
The Read Data instruction sequence is shown in figure 8. If a Read Data instruction is issued while an
Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any
effects on the current cycle. The Read Data instruction allows clock rates from D.C. to a maximum of fR
(see AC Electrical Characteristics).

W25Q16BV
11.2.10 Fast Read (0Bh)
The Fast Read instruction is similar to the Read Data instruction except that it can operate at the highest
possible frequency of FR (see AC Electrical Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight
“dummy” clocks after the 24-bit address as shown in figure 9. The dummy clocks allow the devices
internal circuits additional time for setting up the initial address. During the dummy clocks the data value
on the DO pin is a “don’t care”.

11.2.11 Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh)
The Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction is similar to the standard Fast Read (0Bh) instruction except
that data is output on two pins; IO0 and IO1. This allows data to be transferred from the W25Q16BV at
twice the rate of standard SPI devices. The Fast Read Dual Output instruction is ideal for quickly
downloading code from Flash to RAM upon power-up or for applications that cache code-segments to
RAM for execution.
Similar to the Fast Read instruction, the Fast Read Dual Output instruction can operate at the highest
possible frequency of FR (see AC Electrical 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 IO0 pin should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data
out clock.

- 26 -
W25Q16BV
11.2.12 Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh)
The Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction
except that data is output on four pins, IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. A Quad enable of Status Register-2 must be
executed before the device will accept the Fast Read Quad Output Instruction (Status Register bit QE
must equal 1). The Fast Read Quad Output Instruction allows data to be transferred from the W25Q16BV
at four times the rate of standard SPI devices.
The Fast Read Quad Output instruction can operate at the highest possible frequency of FR (see AC
Electrical Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight “dummy” clocks after the 24-bit address
as shown in figure 11. 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 IO pins should
be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.

11.2.13 Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh)
The Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh) instruction allows for improved random access while maintaining two IO
pins, IO0 and IO1. It is similar to the Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction but with the capability to
input the Address bits (A23-0) two bits per clock. This reduced instruction overhead may allow for code
execution (XIP) directly from the Dual SPI in some applications.
Fast Read Dual I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Fast Read Dual I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in figure 12a. The

If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) equals “Ax” hex, then the next Fast Read Dual I/O instruction
(after /CS is raised and then lowered) does not require the BBh instruction code, as shown in figure 12b.
This reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be immediately
entered after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) are any value other than
“Ax” hex, the next instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code,

11.2.14 Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh)
The Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh) instruction except
that address and data bits are input and output through four pins IO0, IO1, IO2 and IO3 and four Dummy
clocks are required prior to the data output. The Quad I/O dramatically reduces instruction overhead
allowing faster random access for code execution (XIP) directly from the Quad SPI. The Quad Enable bit
(QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to enable the Fast read Quad I/O Instruction.
Fast Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in figure 13a. The
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction through the
inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t care
(“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) equals “Ax” hex, then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction

11.2.15 Word Read Quad I/O (E7h)
The Word Read Quad I/O (E7h) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction except
that the lowest Address bit (A0) must equal 0 and only two Dummy clocks are required prior to the data
output. The Quad I/O dramatically reduces instruction overhead allowing faster random access for code
execution (XIP) directly from the Quad SPI. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to
enable the Word Read Quad I/O Instruction.
Word Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in figure 14a. The
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction through the

11.2.16 Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h)
The Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction
except that the lower four Address bits (A0, A1, A2, A3) must equal 0. As a result, the four dummy clocks
are not required, which further reduces the instruction overhead allowing even faster random access for
code execution (XIP). The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to enable the Octal
Word Read Quad I/O Instruction.
Octal Word Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Octal Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in figure 15a. The
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Octal Word Read Quad I/O instruction through
the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t

11.2.17 Page Program (02h)
The Page Program instruction allows from one byte to 256 bytes (a page) of data to be programmed at
previously erased (FFh) memory locations. A Write Enable instruction must be executed before the
device will accept the Page Program Instruction (Status Register bit WEL= 1). The instruction is initiated
by driving the /CS pin low then shifting the instruction code “02h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0)
and at least one data byte, into the DI pin. The /CS pin must be held low for the entire length of the
instruction while data is being sent to the device. The Page Program instruction sequence is shown in
figure 16.
If an entire 256 byte page is to be programmed, the last address byte (the 8 least significant address bits)
should be set to 0. If the last address byte is not zero, and the number of clocks exceed the remaining
page length, the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page. In some cases, less than 256 bytes (a
partial page) can be programmed without having any effect on other bytes within the same page. One
condition to perform a partial page program is that the number of clocks can not exceed the remaining
page length. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the
page and overwrite previously sent data.
As with the write and erase instructions, the /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last
byte has been latched. If this is not done the Page Program instruction will not be executed. After /CS is
driven high, the self-timed Page Program instruction will commence for a time duration of tpp (See AC
Characteristics). While the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may
still be accessed for checking the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Page Program
cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions
again. After the Page Program cycle has finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register
is cleared to 0. The Page Program instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by
the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits.

W25Q16BV
11.2.18 Quad Input Page Program (32h)
The Quad Page Program instruction allows up to 256 bytes of data to be programmed at previously
erased (FFh) memory locations using four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. The Quad Page Program can
improve performance for PROM Programmer and applications that have slow clock speeds <5MHz.
Systems with faster clock speed will not realize much benefit for the Quad Page Program instruction
since the inherent page program time is much greater than the time it take to clock-in the data.
To use Quad Page Program the Quad Enable in Status Register-2 must be set (QE=1). A Write Enable
instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Quad Page Program instruction (Status
Register-1, WEL=1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low then shifting the instruction
code “32h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and at least one data byte, into the IO pins. The /CS pin
must be held low for the entire length of the instruction while data is being sent to the device. All other
functions of Quad Page Program are identical to standard Page Program. The Quad Page Program
instruction sequence is shown in figure 17.

The Sector Erase instruction sets all memory within a specified sector (4K-bytes) to the erased state of all
1s (FFh). A Write Enable instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Sector Erase
Instruction (Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low
and shifting the instruction code “20h” followed a 24-bit sector address (A23-A0) (see Figure 2). The
Sector Erase instruction sequence is shown in figure 18.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched. If this is not done
the Sector Erase instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Sector Erase
instruction will commence for a time duration of tSE (See AC Characteristics). While the Sector Erase
cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be accessed for checking the status of
the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Sector Erase cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is
finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions again. After the Sector Erase cycle has
finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The Sector Erase
instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by the Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2,

Instruction (Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low
and shifting the instruction code “52h” followed a 24-bit block address (A23-A0) (see Figure 2). The Block
Erase instruction sequence is shown in figure 19.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched. If this is not done
the Block Erase instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Block Erase
instruction will commence for a time duration of tBE1 (See AC Characteristics). While the Block Erase
cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be accessed for checking the status of
the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Block Erase cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is
finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions again. After the Block Erase cycle has
finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The Block Erase

Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the
instruction code “C7h” or “60h”. The Chip Erase instruction sequence is shown in figure 21.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit has been latched. If this is not done the Chip Erase
instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Chip Erase instruction will
commence for a time duration of tCE (See AC Characteristics). While the Chip Erase cycle is in progress,
the Read Status Register instruction may still be accessed to check the status of the BUSY bit. The
BUSY bit is a 1 during the Chip Erase cycle and becomes a 0 when finished and the device is ready to

11.2.23 Erase Suspend (75h)
The Erase Suspend instruction “75h”, allows the system to interrupt a Sector or Block Erase operation
and then read from or program data to, any other sectors or blocks. The Erase Suspend instruction
sequence is shown in figure 22.
The Write Status Register instruction (01h) and Erase instructions (20h, 52h, D8h, C7h, 60h) are not
allowed during Erase Suspend. Erase Suspend is valid only during the Sector or Block erase operation. If
written during the Chip Erase or Program operation, the Erase Suspend instruction is ignored.
The Erase Suspend instruction “75h” will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the Status
Register equals to 0 and the BUSY bit equals to 1 while a Sector or Block Erase is on-going. If the SUS
bit equals to 1 or the BUSY bit equals to 0, the Suspend instruction will be ignored by the device. A
maximum of time of “tSUS” (See AC Characteristics) is required to suspend the erase operation. The
BUSY bit in the Status Register will be cleared from 1 to 0 within “tSUS” and the SUS bit in the Status
Register will be set from 0 to 1 immediately after Erase Suspend. For a previously resumed Erase
operation, it is also required that the Suspend instruction “75h” is not issued earlier than a minimum of
time of “tSUS” following the preceding Resume instruction “7Ah”.
Unexpected power off during the Erase suspend state will reset the device and release the suspend
state. SUS bit in the Status Register will also reset to 0. The data within the sector or block that was being
suspended may become corrupted. It is recommended for the user to implement system design
techniques against the accidental power interruption and preserve data integrity during erase suspend
state.

11.2.24 Erase Resume (7Ah)
The Erase Resume instruction “7Ah” must be written to resume the Sector or Block Erase operation after
an Erase Suspend. The Resume instruction “7Ah” will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the
Status Register equals to 1 and the BUSY bit equals to 0. After issued the SUS bit will be cleared from 1
to 0 immediately, the BUSY bit will be set from 0 to 1 within 200ns and the Sector or Block will complete
the erase operation. If the SUS bit equals to 0 or the BUSY bit equals to 1, the Resume instruction “7Ah”
will be ignored by the device. The Erase Resume instruction sequence is shown in figure 23.
Resume instruction is ignored if the previous Erase Suspend operation was interrupted by unexpected
power off. It is also required that a subsequent Erase Suspend instruction not to be issued within a
minimum of time of “tSUS” following a previous Resume instruction.

11.2.25 Power-down (B9h)
Although the standby current during normal operation is relatively low, standby current can be further
reduced with the Power-down instruction. The lower power consumption makes the Power-down
instruction especially useful for battery powered applications (See ICC1 and ICC2 in AC Characteristics).
The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “B9h” as shown in
figure 24.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit has been latched. If this is not done the Power-down
instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the power-down state will entered within the time
duration of tDP (See AC Characteristics). While in the power-down state only the Release from Powerdown / Device ID instruction, which restores the device to normal operation, will be recognized. All other
instructions are ignored. This includes the Read Status Register instruction, which is always available
during normal operation. Ignoring all but one instruction makes the Power Down state a useful condition
for securing maximum write protection. The device always powers-up in the normal operation with the
standby current of ICC1.

11.2.26 Release Power-down / Device ID (ABh)
The Release from Power-down / Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. It can be used to
release the device from the power-down state, or obtain the devices electronic identification (ID) number.
To release the device from the power-down state, the instruction is issued by driving the /CS pin low,
shifting the instruction code “ABh” and driving /CS high as shown in figure 25a. Release from powerdown will take the time duration of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) before the device will resume normal
operation and other instructions are accepted. The /CS pin must remain high during the tRES1 time
duration.
When used only to obtain the Device ID while not in the power-down state, the instruction is initiated by
driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “ABh” followed by 3-dummy bytes. The Device ID
bits are then shifted out on the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in figure
25b. The Device ID values for the W25Q16BV is listed in Manufacturer and Device Identification table.
The Device ID can be read continuously. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.
When used to release the device from the power-down state and obtain the Device ID, the instruction is
the same as previously described, and shown in figure 25b, except that after /CS is driven high it must
remain high for a time duration of tRES2 (See AC Characteristics). After this time duration the device will
resume normal operation and other instructions will be accepted. If the Release from Power-down /
Device ID instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (when BUSY equals
1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

11.2.31 Read JEDEC ID (9Fh)
For compatibility reasons, the W25Q16BV provides several instructions to electronically determine the
identity of the device. The Read JEDEC ID instruction is compatible with the JEDEC standard for SPI
compatible serial memories that was adopted in 2003. The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin
low and shifting the instruction code “9Fh”. The JEDEC assigned Manufacturer ID byte for Winbond (EFh)
and two Device ID bytes, Memory Type (ID15-ID8) and Capacity (ID7-ID0) are then shifted out on the
falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in figure 30. For memory type and
capacity values refer to Manufacturer and Device Identification table.

11.2.32 Continuous Read Mode Reset (FFh or FFFFh)
For Fast Read Dual/Quad I/O operations, “Continuous Read Mode” Bits (M7-0) are implemented to
further reduce instruction overhead. By setting the (M7-0) to “Ax” hex, the next Fast Read Dual/Quad I/O
operation does not require the BBh/EBh/E7h/E3h instruction code (See 11.2.13 - 11.2.16 for detail
descriptions).
If the system controller is Reset during operation it will likely send a standard SPI instruction, such
as Read ID (9Fh) or Fast Read (0Bh), to the W25Q16BV. However, as with most SPI Serial Flash
memories, the W25Q16BV does not have a hardware Reset pin, so if Continuous Read Mode bits are set
to “Ax” hex, the W25Q16BV will not recognize any standard SPI instructions. To address this possibility, it
is recommended to issue a Continuous Read Mode Reset instruction as the first instruction after a
system Reset. Doing so will release the Continuous Read Mode from the “Ax” hex state and allow
Standard SPI instructions to be recognized. The Continuous Read Mode Reset instruction is shown in
figure 31.

Figure 31. Continuous Read Mode Reset for Fast Read Dual/Quad I/O
To reset “Continuous Read Mode” during Quad I/O operation, only eight clocks are needed. The
instruction is “FFh”. To reset “Continuous Read Mode” during Dual I/O operation, sixteen clocks are
needed to shift in instruction “FFFFh”.
