GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IS25LQ016 are 16 Mbit Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memories, providing single-, dual or quadoutput. The devices are designed to support a 50 MHz fclock rate in normal read mode, and 104 MHz in fast
read (Quad output is 100MHz), the fastest in the industry. The devices use a single low voltage power supply,
ranging from 2.3 Volt to 3.6 Volt, to perform read, erase and program operations. The devices can be
programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The IS25LQ016 are accessed through a 4-wire SPI Interface consisting of Serial Data Input/Output (Sl), Serial
Data Output (SO), Serial Clock (SCK), and Chip Enable (CE#) pins. The devices support page program mode,
where 1 to 256 bytes data can be programmed into the memory in one program operation. These devices are
divided into uniform 4 KByte sectors or uniform 64 KByte blocks.
The IS25LQ016 are offered in 8-pin SOIC 208mil, 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin VSOP and 8-contact WSON.

SPI MODES DESCRIPTION
Multiple IS25LQ016 devices can be connected on the
SPI serial bus and controlled by a SPI Master, i.e.
microcontroller, as shown in Figure 1. The devices
support either of two SPI modes:
Mode 0 (0, 0)
Mode 3 (1, 1)
The difference between these two modes is the clock
polarity when the SPI master is in Stand-by mode: the
serial clock remains at “0” (SCK = 0) for Mode 0 and
the clock remains at “1” (SCK = 1) for Mode 3. Please
refer to Figure 2. For both modes, the input data is
latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCK), and
the output data is available from the falling edge of
SCK.

REGISTERS (CONTINUED)
STATUS REGISTER
Refer to Tables 5 and 6 for Status Register Format and BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits: The Block Protection (BP3,
BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits are used to define the portion
Status Register Bit Definitions.
of the memory area to be protected. Refer to Tables 7,
8 and 9 for the Block Write Protection bit settings.
The BP0, BP1, BP2, BP3 and SRWD are non-volatile
When a defined combination of BP3, BP2, BP1 and
memory cells that can be written by a Write Status
BP0 bits are set, the corresponding memory area is
Register (WRSR) instruction. The default value of the
protected. Any program or erase operation to that area
BP2, BP1, BP0, and SRWD bits were set to “0” at
will be inhibited.Note: a Chip Erase (CHIP_ER)
factory. The Status Register can be read by the Read
Status Register (RDSR). Refer to Table 10 for
instruction is executed only if all the Block Protection
Instruction Set.
Bits are set as “0”s.
The function of Status Register bits are described as
follows:
WIP bit: The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is read-only,
and can be used to detect the progress or completion
of a program or erase operation. When the WIP bit is
“0”, the device is ready for a write status register,
program or erase operation. When the WIP bit is “1”,
the device is busy.
WEL bit: The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates
the status of the internal write enable latch. When the
WEL is “0”, the write enable latch is disabled, and all
write operations, including write status register, write
configuration register, page program, sector erase,
block and chip erase operations are inhibited. When
the WEL bit is “1”, write operations are allowed. The
WEL bit is set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
Each write register, program and erase instruction
must be preceded by a WREN instruction. The WEL bit
can be reset by a Write Disable (WRDI) instruction. It
will automatically be the reset after the completion of a
write instruction.
SRWD bit: The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bits operates in conjunction with the Write Protection
(WP#) signal to provide a Hardware Protection Mode.
When the SRWD is set to “0”, the Status Register is
not write-protected. When the SRWD is set to “1” and
the WP# is pulled low (VIL), the bits of Status Register
(SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) become read-only, and
a WRSR instruction will be ignored. If the SRWD is set
to “1” and WP# is pulled high (VIH), the Status Register
can be changed by a WRSR instruction.
QE bit: The Quad Enable (QE) is a non-volatile bit in
the status register that allows Quad operation. When
the QE bit is set to “0”,the pin WP# and HOLD# are
enable. When the QE bit is set to “1”, the pin IO2 and
IO3 are enable.
WARNING: The QE bit should never be set to a 1
during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation if the
WP# or HOLD# pins are tied directly to the power
supply or ground.

REGISTERS (CONTINUED)
PROTECTION MODE
The IS25LQ016 have two types of write-protection
mechanisms: hardware and software. These are
used to prevent irrelevant operation in a possibly
noisy environment and protect the data integrity.
HARDWARE WRITE-PROTECTION
The devices provide two hardware write-protection
features:
a. When inputting a program, erase or write status
register instruction, the number of clock pulse is
checked to determine whether it is a multiple of
eight before the executing. Any incomplete
instruction command sequence will be ignored.
b. Write inhibit is 2.0V, all write sequence will be
ignored when Vcc drop to 2.0V and lower.
c. The Write Protection (WP#) pin provides a
hardware write protection method for BP3, BP2,
BP1, BP0 and SRWD in the Status Register. Refer
to the STATUS REGISTER description.
SOFTWARE WRITE PROTECTION
The IS25LQ016 also provides two software write
protection features:
a. Before the execution of any program, erase or
write status register instruction, the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit must be enabled by executing a
Write Enable (WREN) instruction. If the WEL bit is
not enabled first, the program, erase or write
register instruction will be ignored.
b. The Block Protection (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits
allow part or the whole memory area to be writeprotected.

DEVICE OPERATION
The IS25LQ016 utilize an 8-bit instruction register.
Refer to Table 11 Instruction Set for details of the
Instructions and Instruction Codes. All instructions,
addresses, and data are shifted in with the most
significant bit (MSB) first on Serial Data Input (SI). The
input data on SI is latched on the rising edge of Serial
Clock (SCK) after Chip Enable (CE#) is driven low
(VIL). Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte
Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc.- www.issi.com

instruction code and is followed by address bytes, data
bytes, or both address bytes and data bytes,
depending on the type of instruction. CE# must be
driven high (VIH) after the last bit of the instruction
sequence has been shifted in.
The timing for each instruction is illustrated in the
following operational descriptions.

HOLD OPERATION
HOLD# is used in conjunction with CE# to select
the IS25LQ016. When the devices are selected and
a serial sequence is underway, HOLD# can be
used to pause the serial communication with the
master device without resetting the serial sequence.
Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc.- www.issi.com
Rev. A
09/20/2012
To pause, HOLD# is brought low while the SCK
signal is low. To resume serial communication,
HOLD# is brought high while the SCK signal is low
(SCK may still toggle during HOLD). Inputs to Sl will
be ignored while SO is in the high impedance state.

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
RDID COMMAND (READ PRODUCT
IDENTIFICATION)/ Release Power-down
OPERATION
The Release from Power-down or High performance
Mode / Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose
instruction. The Read Product Identification (RDID)
instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit
Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as table
of ID Definitions. This is not same as RDID or JEDEC
ID instruction. It’s not recommended to use for new
design. For new design, please use RDID or JEDEC ID
instruction.
The RDES instruction code is followed by three dummy
bytes, each bit being latched-in on SI during the rising
edge of SCK. Then the Device ID is shifted out on SO
with the MSB first, each bit been shifted out during the
falling edge of SCK. The RDES instruction is ended by
CE# goes high. The Device ID outputs repeatedly if
continuously send the additional clock cycles on SCK
while CE# is at low.
To release the device from the power-down state Mode,
the instruction is issued by driving the CE# pin low,
shifting the instruction code ‘‘ABh’’ and driving CE#
high as shown in figure 3.
Release from power-down will take the time duration of
tRES1 before the device will resume normal operation
and other instructions are accepted. The CE# pin must
remain high during the tRES1 time duration. If the
Release from Power-down / RDID 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

OPERATION
The Read Product Identification (RDID) instruction
allows the user to read the manufacturer and product

Identification for pFLASH™ manufacturer ID and
device ID. The RDID instruction code is followed by
two dummy bytes and one byte address (A7~A0), each
bit being latched-in on SI during the rising edge of SCK.
If one byte address is initially set to A0 = 0, then the
first manufacturer ID (9Dh) is shifted out on SO with
the MSB first, the device ID1 and the second
manufacturer ID (7Fh), each bit been shifted out during
the falling edge of SCK. If one byte address is initially
set to A0 = 1, then device ID1 will be read first, then
followed by the first manufacture ID (9Dh) and then
second manufacture ID (7Fh). The manufacture and
device ID can be read continuously, alternating from
one to the others. The instruction is completed by
driving CE# high.

WRITE ENABLE OPERATION
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is used to set the
Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The WEL bit of the
IS25LQ016 is reset to the write –protected state after
power-up. The WEL bit must be write enabled before
any write operation, including sector, block erase, chip
erase, page program, write status register, and write
configuration register operations. The WEL bit will be
reset to the write-protect state automatically upon
completion of a write operation. The WREN instruction
is required before any above operation is executed.
Figure 6. Write Enable Sequence
WRDI COMMAND (WRITE DISABLE) OPERATION
The Write Disable (WRDI) instruction resets the WEL
bit and disables all write instructions. The WRDI
instruction is not required after the execution of a write
instruction, since the WEL bit is automatically reset.

RDSR COMMAND (READ STATUS REGISTER) OPERATION
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction provides
access to the Status Register. During the execution of
a program, erase or write status register operation, all
other instructions will be ignored except the RDSR
instruction, which can be used to check the progress or
completion of an operation by reading the WIP bit of
Status Register.

WRSR COMMAND (WRITE STATUS REGISTER) OPERATION
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows
the user to enable or disable the block protection and
status register write protection features by writing “0”s
or “1”s into the non-volatile BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 and
SRWD bits.

READ COMMAND (READ DATA) OPERATION
The Read Data (READ) instruction is used to read
memory data of a IS25LQ016under normal mode
running up to 50MHz.
The READ instruction code is transmitted via the Sl
line, followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) of the
first memory location to be read. A total of 24 address
bits are shifted in, but only AMS (most significant
address) - A0 are decoded. The remaining bits (A23 –
AMS) are ignored. The first byte addressed can be at
any memory location. Upon completion, any data on
the Sl will be ignored. Refer to Table 13 for the related
Address Key.
out on the SO line, MSb first. A single byte of data, or
up to the whole memory array, can be read out in one
READ instruction. The address is automatically
incremented after each byte of data is shifted out. The
read operation can be terminated at any time by driving
CE# high (VIH) after the data comes out. When the
highest address of the devices is reached, the address
counter will roll over to the 000000h address, allowing
the entire memory to be read in one continuous READ
instruction.
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

FRDIO COMMAND (FAST READ DUAL I/O) OPERATION
The FRDIO instruction is similar to the FRDO
instruction, but allows the address bits to be input two
bits at a time. This may allow for code to be executed
directly from the SPI in some applications.
The FRDIO instruction code is followed by three
address bytes (A23 – A0) and a mode byte,
transmitted via the IO0 and IO1 lines, with each pair of
bits latched-in during the rising edge of SCK. The
address MSb is input on IO1, the next bit on IO0, and
continues to shift in alternating on the two lines. The
mode byte contains the value Ax, where x is a “don’t
care” value. Then the first data byte addressed is
shifted out on the IO1 and IO0 lines, with each pair of
bits shifted out at a maximum frequency fCT, during the
falling edge of SCK. The MSb is output on IO1, while
simultaneously the second bit is output on IO0. Figure
15 illustrates the timing sequence.
The first byte addressed can be at any memory
location. The address is automatically incremented
after each byte of data is shifted out. When the highest
address is reached, the address counter will roll over to
the 000000h address, allowing the entire memory to be
read with a single FRDIO instruction. FRDIO
instruction is terminated by driving CE# high (VIH).
The device expects the next operation will be another
FRDIO. It remains in this mode until it receives a
Mode Reset (FFh) command. In subsequent FRDIO
execution, the command code is not input, saving
timing cycles as described in Figure 16. If a FRDIO
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

PAGE_PROG COMMAND (PAGE PROGRAM) OPERATION
The Page Program (PAGE_PROG) instruction allows
up to 256 bytes data to be programmed into memory in
a single operation. The destination of the memory to be
programmed must be outside the protected memory
area set by the Block Protection (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits.
A PAGE_PROG instruction which attempts to program
into a page that is write-protected will be ignored.
Before the execution of PAGE_PROG instruction, the
Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be enabled through a
Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
The PAGE_PROG instruction code, three address
bytes and program data (1 to 256 bytes) are input via
the Sl line. Program operation will start immediately
after the CE# is brought high, otherwise the
PAGE_PROG instruction will not be executed. The
internal control logic automatically handles the
programming voltages and timing. During a program
operation, all instructions will be ignored except the
RDSR instruction. The progress or completion of the
program operation can be determined by reading the
WIP bit in Status Register via a RDSR instruction. If
the WIP bit is “1”, the program operation is still in
progress. If WIP bit is “0”, the program operation has
completed.
If more than 256 bytes data are sent to a device, the
address counter rolls over within the same page, the
previously latched data are discarded, and the last 256
bytes data are kept to be programmed into the page.
The starting byte can be anywhere within the page.
When the end of the page is reached, the address will
wrap around to the beginning of the same page. If the
data to be programmed are less than a full page, the
data of all other bytes on the same page will remain
unchanged.
Note: A program operation can alter “1”s into “0”s, but
an erase operation is required to change “0”s back to
“1”s. A byte cannot be reprogrammed without first
erasing the whole sector or block.

ERASE OPERATION
The memory array of the IS25LQ016 is organized into
uniform 4 Kbyte sectors or 64 Kbyte uniform blocks (a
block consists of sixteen adjacent sectors).
Before a byte can be reprogrammed, the sector or
block that contains the byte must be erased (erasing
sets bits to “1”). In order to erase the devices, there are
three erase instructions available: Sector Erase
(SECTOR_ER), Block Erase (BLOCK_ER) and Chip
Erase (CHIP_ER). A sector erase operation allows any
individual sector to be erased without affecting the data
in other sectors. A block erase operation erases any
individual block. A chip erase operation erases the
whole memory array of a device. A sector erase, block
erase or chip erase operation can be executed prior to
any programming operation.
SECTOR_ER COMMAND (SECTOR ERASE)
OPERATION
operation can be determined by reading the WIP bit in
the Status Register using a RDSR instruction. If the
WIP bit is “1”, the erase operation is still in progress. If
the WIP bit is “0”, the erase operation has been
completed.
BLOCK_ER COMMAND (BLOCK ERASE)
OPERATION
A Block Erase (BLOCK_ER) instruction erases a 64
Kbyte block of the IS25LQ016. Before the execution of
a BLOCK_ER instruction, the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) must be set via a Write Enable (WREN)
instruction. The WEL is reset automatically after the
completion of a block erase operation.
The BLOCK_ER instruction code and three address

Program Security information Row instruction (PSIR)
The PSIR instructions can read and programmed (Erase) using three dedicated instructions. The program
information Raw instruction is used to program at most 256 bytes to the security memory area (by changing bits
from ‘1’ to ‘0’, only). Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been
executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write enable latch
(WEL) bit. The program information Row instruction is entered by driving CE# pin Low, followed by the
instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on serial data input (SI). CE# pin must be
driven High after the eighth bits of the last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the Program information
Row instruction is not executed. If more than 256 bytes data are sent to a device, the address counter can not
roll over.
After CE# pin is driven High, the self-timed page program cycle (whose duration is tpotp) is initiated. While the
program OTP cycle is in progress, the status register may be read to check the value of the write in progress
(WIP) bit. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed program cycle, and it is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset.

To lock the OTP memory:
Bit 0 of the OTP control byte, that is byte 256, is used to permanently lock the OTP memory array.
When bit 0 of byte 256 = ’1’, the 256 bytes of the OTP memory array can be programmed.
When bit 0 of byte 256 = ‘0’, the 256 bytes of the OTP memory array are read-only and
cannot be programmed anymore.
Once a bit of the OTP memory has been programmed to ‘0’, it can no longer be set to ‘1’.
Therefore, as soon as bit 0 of byte 256 (control byte) is set to ‘0’, the 256 bytes of the OTP
memory array become read-only in a permanent way.
Any program OTP (POTP) instruction issued while an erase, program or write cycle is in
progress is rejected without having any effect on the cycle that is in progress

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Read Security Information Row (RSIR)
The RSIR instruction read the security information Row. There is no rollover mechanism with the read OTP
(ROTP) instruction. This means that the read OTP (ROTP) instruction must be sent with a maximum of 256
bytes to read, since once the 256th byte has been read, the same (256th) byte keeps being read on the SO pin.

POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN
At Power-up and Power-down, the device must not be
selected (CE# 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
tVCE
- Vss at Power-down
Usually a simple pull-up resistor on CE# 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) during power up, the device does not respond to
any instruction until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed
after the moment that Vcc rised 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
- tVCE after Vcc passed the Vcc(min) level
At Power-up, the device is in the following state:
- The device is in the Standby mode
- The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset
At Power-down, when Vcc drops from the operating
voltage, to below the Vwi, all write operations are
disabled
and the device does not respond to any write
instruction.

Read Safe Guard register
The READ Safe Guard instruction code is transmitted via the SlO line, followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) of
the first register location to be read. The first byte data (D7 - D0) addressed is then shifted out on the SO line, MSb
first. The address is automatically incremented after each byte of data is shifted out. The read operation can be
terminated at any time by driving CE# high (VIH) after the data comes out.

SEC_UNLOCK COMMAND OPERATION
The Sector unlock command allows the user to
select a specific sector to allow program and erase
operations. This instruction is effective when the
blocks are designated as write-protected through
the BP0, BP1 and BP2 bits in the status register.
Only one sector can be enabled at any time. To
enable a different sector, a previously enabled
sector must be disabled by executing a Sector Lock
command. The instruction code is followed by a
24-bit address specifying the target sector, but A0
through A11 are not decoded. The remaining
sectors within the same block remain in read-only
mode.
Figure d. Sector Unlock Sequence
Note: 1.If the clock number will not match 8 clocks(command)+ 24 clocks (address), it will be ignored.
2.It must be executed write enable (06h) before sector unlock instructions.
