SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The M25P40 is a 4 Mbit (512K x 8) Serial Flash
Memory, with advanced write protection mechanisms, accessed by a high speed SPI-compatible
bus.
The memory can be programmed 1 to 256 bytes at
a time, using the Page Program instruction.
The memory is organized as 8 sectors, each containing 256 pages. Each page is 256 bytes wide.
Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 2048 pages, or 524,288 bytes.
The whole memory can be erased using the Bulk
Erase instruction, or a sector at a time, using the
Sector Erase instruction.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Data Output (Q). 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).
Serial Data Input (D). 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).
Serial Clock (C). This input signal provides the
timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data present at Serial Data Input (D) are
latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data
on Serial Data Output (Q) 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
(Q) is at high impedance. 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
(Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D)
and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
To start the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low.
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).

SPI MODES
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 falling edge of Serial Clock
(C).
The difference between the two modes, as shown
in Figure 5, 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)
– C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)

OPERATING FEATURES
Page Programming
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 to be programmed at a time (changing bits from 1 to 0), provided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the
same page of memory.
Sector Erase and Bulk 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 either a sector at a
time, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, or
throughout the entire memory, using the Bulk
Erase (BE) instruction. This starts an internal
Erase cycle (of duration tSE or tBE).
The Erase instruction must be preceeded 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 or
BE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst
case delay (tW, tPP, tSE, or tBE). 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 I CC1.
The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the
specific instruction (the Enter 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 inadvertant Write, Program or Erase
instructions.
Status Register
The Status Register contains a number of status
and control bits that can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific instructions.
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates
whether the memory is busy with a Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the
size of the area to be software protected against
Program and Erase instructions.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction 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. In this mode, the non-volatile bits
of the Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0)
become read-only 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 M25P40 boasts the
following data protection mechanisms:
■ Power-On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW)
can provide protection against inadvertant
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:
– Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction
completion
– Page Program (PP) instruction completion
– Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion
– Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion
■
The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits allow
part of the memory to be configured as readonly. This is the Software Protected Mode
(SPM).
■
The Write Protect (W) signal allows the Block
Protect (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 inadvertant
Write, Program and Erase instructions, as all
instructions are ignored except one particular
instruction (the Release from Deep Powerdown instruction).

Hold Condition
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 6).
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 Serial
Clock (C) next goes Low. (This is shown in Figure
6).
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output
(Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D)
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 Chip Select
(S) Low. This prevents the device from going back
to the Hold condition.

INSTRUCTIONS
All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in
and out of the device, most significant bit first.
Serial Data Input (D) 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 (D), each bit being
latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction set is listed in Table 4.
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. Chip Select (S) must be
driven High after the last bit of the instruction sequence has been shifted in.
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, 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), Bulk Erase (BE), 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.

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 10.

The status and control bits of the Status Register
are as follows:
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates
whether the memory is busy with a Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle. When set to 1,
such a cycle is in progress, when reset to 0 no
such cycle is in progress.
12/35
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is
set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch
is reset and no Write Status Register, Program or
Erase instruction is accepted.
BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the
size of the area to be software protected against
Program and Erase instructions. These bits are
written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction. When one or both of the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits is set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 2) becomes protected against Page Program (PP) and Sector Erase
(SE) instructions. The Block Protect (BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set. The Bulk
Erase (BE) instruction is executed if, and only if,
both Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are 0.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction 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 (when the Status Register Write
Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect
(W) is driven Low). In this mode, the non-volatile
bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1,
BP0) become read-only bits and the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted
for execution.

Write Status Register (WRSR)
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 driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed
by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial
Data Input (D).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 11.
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 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 Block
Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of
the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in Table 2. 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.

Note: 1. As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 2.
The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 6.
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.
14/35
(Attempts to write to the Status Register are rejected, and are not accepted for execution). As
a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are software protected (SPM) by the
Block Protect (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 Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0)
bits of the Status Register, can be used.

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 (Q), 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 12.
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.

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 (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a
maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 13.
The first byte addressed can be at any location.
The address is automatically incremented to the
16/35
next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read
with a single Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed
(FAST_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 at Higher Speed
(FAST_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 at Higher Speed (FAST_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.

Note: 1. Address bits A23 to A19 are Don’t Care.
Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to
be programmed in the memory (changing bits from
1 to 0). 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).
The Page Program (PP) instruction is entered by
driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address bytes and at least
one data byte on Serial Data Input (D). If the 8
least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all
zero, all transmitted data that goes beyond the end
of the current page are programmed from the start
address of the same page (from the address
whose 8 least significant bits (A7-A0) are all zero).
Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire
duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 14.
If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256
data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256 Data
bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same
page.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in,
otherwise the Page Program (PP) instruction is not
executed.
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the selftimed Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP)
is initiated. While the Page Program 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 selftimed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
bit is reset.
A Page Program (PP) instruction applied to a page
which is protected by the Block Protect (BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits (see Tables 3 and 2) is not executed.

Sector Erase (SE)
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh)
all bits inside the chosen sector. 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).
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by
driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, and three address bytes on Serial
Data Input (D). Any address inside the Sector (see
Table 3) is a valid address for the Sector Erase
(SE) instruction. Chip Select (S) must be driven
Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 15.

Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched
in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is
not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven
High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector Erase 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 Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
bit is reset.
A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a page
which is protected by the Block Protect (BP2, BP1,

The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction
code on Serial Data Input (D). Chip Select (S)
must be driven Low for the entire duration of the
sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bit of the instruction code has been latched

Stand-by Mode
Deep Power-down (DP)
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.
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 I CC1 to I CC2,
as specified in Table 12).
Once the device has entered the Deep Powerdown 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 Signa-
20/35
Deep Power-down Mode
AI03753D
ture of the device to be output on Serial Data Output (Q).
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 Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code on Serial Data Input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration
of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17.
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.

Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Signature (RES)
Once the device has entered the Deep Powerdown mode, all instructions are ignored except the
Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction. Executing this
instruction takes the device out of the Deep Power-down mode. The instruction can also be used to
read, on Serial Data Output (Q), the 8-bit Electronic Signature of the device.
Except while an Erase, Program or Write Status
Register cycle is in progress, the Release from
Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature
(RES) instruction always provides access to the
Electronic Signature of the device, and can be applied even if the Deep Power-down mode has not
been entered.
Any Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Signature (RES) instruction while an
Erase, Program or Write Status Register cycle is in
progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the
cycle that is in progress.
This instruction serves a second purpose. The device features an 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose
value for the M25P40 is 12h. This can be read using the Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Signature (RES) instruction.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select
(S) Low. The instruction code is followed by 3
dummy bytes, each bit being latched-in on Serial
Data Input (D) during the rising edge of Serial
Clock (C). Then, the 8-bit Electronic Signature,
stored in the memory, is shifted out on Serial Data
Output (Q), each bit being shifted out during the
falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 18.
The Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Signature (RES) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High after the Electronic Signature has been read at least once.
Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock
(C), while Chip Select (S) is driven Low, cause the
Electronic Signature to be output repeatedly.
When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is
put in the Stand-by Power mode. If the device was
not previously in the Deep Power-down mode, the
transition to the Stand-by Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in the Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Standby Power mode is delayed by tRES2, and Chip Select (S) must remain High for at least tRES2(max),
as specified in Table 13. Once in the Stand-by
Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so
that it can receive, decode and execute instructions.

Driving Chip Select (S) High after the 8-bit instruction byte has been received by the device, but before the whole of the 8-bit Electronic Signature has
been transmitted for the first time (as shown in Figure 19), still insures that the device is put into
Stand-by Power mode. If the device was not previously in the Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is immediate. If
22/35
the device was previously in the Deep Powerdown mode, though, the transition to the Stand-by
Power mode is delayed by t RES1, and Chip Select
(S) must remain High for at least tRES1(max), as
specified in Table 13. Once in the Stand-by Power
mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it
can receive, decode and execute instructions.
M25P40
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 V CC 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 V CC is less than the POR
threshold value, V WI – all operations are disabled,
and the device does not respond to any
instruction.
Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable
(WREN), Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE),
Bulk Erase (BE) and Write Status Register
(WRSR) instructions until a time delay of tPUW has
elapsed after the moment that V CC 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 V WI threshold
– tVSL afterVCC passed the VCC(min) level
These values are specified in Table 7.
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 stablise 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.)
