LE25U40CQE
CMOS IC
4M-bit (512K8) Serial Flash Memory
Overview
The LE25U40CQE is a SPI bus flash memory device with a 4M bit (512K  8-bit) configuration that adds a high
performance Dual output and Dual I/O function. It uses a single 2.5V power supply. While making the most of the
features inherent to a serial flash memory device, the LE25U40CQE is housed in an 8-pin ultra-miniature package. All
these features make this device ideally suited to storing program in applications such as portable information devices,
which are required to have increasingly more compact dimensions. The LE25U40CQE also has a small sector erase
capability which makes the device ideal for storing parameters or data that have fewer rewrite cycles and conventional
EEPROMs cannot handle due to insufficient capacity.

Device Operation
The read, erase, program and other required functions of the device are executed through the command registers. The
serial I/O corrugate is shown in Figure 3 and the command list is shown in Table 2. At the falling CS edge the device is
selected, and serial input is enabled for the commands, addresses, etc. These inputs are normalized in 8 bit units and
taken into the device interior in synchronization with the rising edge of SCK, which causes the device to execute
operation according to the command that is input.
The LE25U40CQE supports both serial interface SPI mode 0 and SPI mode 3. At the falling CS edge, SPI mode 0 is
automatically selected if the logic level of SCK is low, and SPI mode 3 is automatically selected if the logic level of
SCK is high.

speed-up from a High-speed read command.
2-1. Dual Read command
The Dual read command changes SI/SIO0 into the output pin function in addition to SO/SIO1, makes the data output x2
bit and has achieved a high-speed output. Consisting of the first through fifth bus cycles, the Dual read command inputs
the 24-bit addresses and 8 dummy bits following (3Bh). DATA1 (Bit7, BIt5, Bit3 and Bit1) is output from SI/SIO0 and
DATA0 (Bit6, Bit4, Bit2 and Bit0) is output from SO/SIO1 on the falling clock edge of fifth bus cycle bit 0 as a
reference. "Figure 5-a Dual Read" shows the timing waveforms.

The Dual I/O read command changes SI/SIO0 and SO/SIO1 into the input output pin function, makes the data input and
output x2 bit and has achieved a high-speed output. Consisting of the first through third bus cycles, the Dual I/O read
command inputs the 24-bit addresses and 4 dummy clocks following (BBh). The format of the address input and the
dummy bit input is the x2 bit input. Add1 (A23, A21, -, A3 and A1) is input from S0/SIO1 and Add0 (A22, A20, -, A2
and A0) is input from SI/SIO0. 2CLK of the latter half of the dummy clock is in the state of high impedance, the
controller can switch I/O for this period. DATA1 (Bit7, BIt5, Bit3 and Bit1) is output from SI/SIO0 and DATA0 (Bit6,
Bit4, Bit2 and Bit0) is output from SO/SIO1 on the falling clock edge of third bus cycle bit 0 as a reference. "Figure 5-b

When SCK is input continuously after the read command has been input and the data in the designated addresses has
been output, the address is automatically incremented inside the device while SCK is being input, and the corresponding
data is output in sequence. If the SCK input is continued after the internal address arrives at the highest address
(7FFFFh), the internal address returns to the lowest address (00000h), and data output is continued. By setting the logic
level of CS to high, the device is deselected, and the read cycle ends. While the device is deselected, the output pin SO
is in a high-impedance state.

3. Status Registers
The status registers hold the operating and setting statuses inside the device, and this information can be read (status
register read) and the protect information can be rewritten (status register write). There are 8 bits in total, and "Table 4

3-1. Status register read
The contents of the status registers can be read using the status register read command. This command can be executed
even during the following operations.
 Small sector erase, sector erase, chip erase
 Page program
 Status register write
"Figure 6 Status Register Read" shows the timing waveforms of status register read. Consisting only of the first bus
cycle, the status register command outputs the contents of the status registers synchronized to the falling edge of the
clock (SCK) with which the eighth bit of (05h) has been input. In terms of the output sequence, SRWP (bit 7) is the first
to be output, and each time one clock is input, all the other bits up to RDY (bit 0) are output in sequence, synchronized
to the falling clock edge. If the clock input is continued after RDY (bit 0) has been output, the data is output by
returning to the bit (SRWP) that was first output, after which the output is repeated for as long as the clock input is
continued. The data can be read by the status register read command at any time (even during a program or erase cycle).

3-2. Status register write
The information in status registers BP0, BP1, BP2, TB and SRWP can be rewritten using the status register write
command. RDY, WEN and bit 6 are read-only bits and cannot be rewritten. The information in bits BP0, BP1, BP2, TB
and SRWP is stored in the non-volatile memory, and when it is written in these bits, the contents are retained even at
power-down. "Figure 6 Status Register Write" shows the timing waveforms of status register write, and Figure 20
shows a status register write flowchart. Consisting of the first and second bus cycles, the status register write command
initiates the internal write operation at the rising CS edge after the data has been input following (01h). Erase and
program are performed automatically inside the device by status register write so that erasing or other processing is
unnecessary before executing the command. By the operation of this command, the information in bits BP0, BP1, BP2,
TB and SRWP can be rewritten. Since bits RDY (bit 0), WEN (bit 1) and bit 6 of the status register cannot be written,
no problem will arise if an attempt is made to set them to any value when rewriting the status register. Status register
write ends can be detected by RDY of status register read. To initiate status register write, the logic level of the WP pin
must be set high and status register WEN must be set to "1".

3-3. Contents of each status register
RDY (Bit 0)
The RDY register is for detecting the write (program, erase and status register write) end. When it is "1", the device is
in a busy state, and when it is "0", it means that write is completed.
WEN (bit 1)
The WEN register is for detecting whether the device can perform write operations. If it is set to "0", the device will not
perform the write operation even if the write command is input. If it is set to "1", the device can perform write
operations in any area that is not block-protected.
WEN can be controlled using the write enable and write disable commands. By inputting the write enable command
(06h), WEN can be set to "1"; by inputting the write disable command (04h), it can be set to "0." In the following states,
WEN is automatically set to "0" in order to protect against unintentional writing.
 At power-on
 Upon completion of small sector erase, sector erase or chip erase
 Upon completion of page program
 Upon completion of status register write
* If a write operation has not been performed inside the LE25U40CQE because, for instance, the command input for
any of the write operations (small sector erase, sector erase, chip erase, page program, or status register write) has
failed or a write operation has been performed for a protected address, WEN will retain the status established prior to
the issue of the command concerned. Furthermore, its state will not be changed by a read operation.

BP0, BP1, BP2, TB (Bits 2, 3, 4, 5)
Block protect BP0, BP1, BP2 and TB are status register bits that can be rewritten, and the memory space to be protected
can be set depending on these bits. For the setting conditions, refer to "Table 5 Protect level setting conditions".
BP0, BP1, and BP2 are used to select the protected area and TB to allocate the protected area to the higher-order
address area or lower-order address area.

SRWP (bit 7)
Status register write protect SRWP is the bit for protecting the status registers, and its information can be rewritten.
When SRWP is "1" and the logic level of the WP pin is low, the status register write command is ignored, and status
registers BP0, BP1, BP2, TB and SRWP are protected. When the logic level of the WP pin is high, the status registers
are not protected regardless of the SRWP state. The SRWP setting conditions are shown in "Table 6 SRWP setting
conditions".

4. Write Enable
Before performing any of the operations listed below, the device must be placed in the write enable state. Operation is
the same as for setting status register WEN to "1", and the state is enabled by inputting the write enable command.
"Figure 8 Write Enable" shows the timing waveforms when the write enable operation is performed. The write enable
command consists only of the first bus cycle, and it is initiated by inputting (06h).
 Small sector erase, sector erase, chip erase
 Page program
 Status register write
5. Write Disable
The write disable command sets status register WEN to "0" to prohibit unintentional writing. "Figure 9 Write Disable"
shows the timing waveforms. The write disable command consists only of the first bus cycle, and it is initiated by
inputting (04h). The write disable state (WEN "0") is exited by setting WEN to "1" using the write enable command
(06h).

6. Power-down
The power-down command sets all the commands, with the exception of the silicon ID read command and the
command to exit from power-down, to the acceptance prohibited state (power-down). "Figure 10 Power-down" shows
the timing waveforms. The power-down command consists only of the first bus cycle, and it is initiated by inputting
(B9h). However, a power-down command issued during an internal write operation will be ignored. The power-down
state is exited using the power-down exit command (power-down is exited also when one bus cycle or more of the
silicon ID read command (ABh) has been input). "Figure 11 Exiting from Power-down" shows the timing waveforms of
the power-down exit command.

7. Small Sector Erase
Small sector erase is an operation that sets the memory cell data in any small sector to "1". A small sector consists of
4Kbytes. "Figure 12 Small Sector Erase" shows the timing waveforms, and Figure 21 shows a small sector erase
flowchart. The small sector erase command consists of the first through fourth bus cycles, and it is initiated by inputting
the 24-bit addresses following (20h) or (D7h). Addresses A18 to A12 are valid, and Addresses A23 to A19 are "don't
care". After the command has been input, the internal erase operation starts from the rising CS edge, and it ends
automatically by the control exercised by the internal timer. Erase end can also be detected using status register RDY.

consists of the first through fourth bus cycles, and it is initiated by inputting the 24-bit addresses following (D8h).
Addresses A18 to A16 are valid, and Addresses A23 to A19 are "don't care". After the command has been input, the
internal erase operation starts from the rising CS edge, and it ends automatically by the control exercised by the internal
timer. Erase end can also be detected using status register RDY.

9. Chip Erase
Chip erase is an operation that sets the memory cell data in all the sectors to "1". "Figure 14 Chip Erase" shows the
timing waveforms, and Figure 21 shows a chip erase flowchart. The chip erase command consists only of the first bus
cycle, and it is initiated by inputting (60h) or (C7h). After the command has been input, the internal erase operation
starts from the rising CS edge, and it ends automatically by the control exercised by the internal timer. Erase end can
also be detected using status register RDY.

10. Page Program
Page program is an operation that programs any number of bytes from 1 to 256 bytes within the same sector page (page
addresses: A18 to A8). Before initiating page program, the data on the page concerned must be erased using small
sector erase, sector erase, or chip erase. "Figure 15 Page Program" shows the page program timing waveforms, and
Figure 22 shows a page program flowchart. After the falling CS, edge, the command (02H) is input followed by the 24bit addresses. Addresses A18 to A0 are valid. The program data is then loaded at each rising clock edge until the rising
CS edge, and data loading is continued until the rising CS edge. If the data loaded has exceeded 256 bytes, the 256
bytes loaded last are programmed. The program data must be loaded in 1-byte increments, and the program operation is
not performed at the rising CS edge occurring at any other timing.

11. Silicon ID Read
ID read is an operation that reads the manufacturer code and device ID information. The silicon ID read command is not
accepted during writing. There are two methods of reading the silicon ID, each of which is assigned a device ID. In the
first method, the read command sequence consists only of the first bus cycle in which (9Fh) is input. In the subsequent
bus cycles, the manufacturer code 62h which is assigned by JEDEC, 2-byte device ID code (memory type, memory
capacity), and reserved code are output sequentially. The 4-byte code is output repeatedly as long as clock inputs are
present, "Table 7-1 JEDEC ID code " lists the silicon ID codes and "Figure 16-a JEDEC ID read" shows the JEDEC ID
read timing waveforms.
The second method involves inputting the ID read command. This command consists of the first through fourth bus
cycles, and the one bite silicon ID can be read when 24 dummy bits are input after (ABh). "Table 7-2 ID code " lists the
silicon ID codes and "Figure 16-b ID read" shows the ID read timing waveforms.
If the SCK input persists after a device code is read, that device code continues to be output. The data output is
transmitted starting at the falling edge of the clock for bit 0 in the fourth bus cycle and the silicon ID read sequence is
finished by setting CS high.

12. Hold Function
Using the HOLD pin, the hold function suspends serial communication (it places it in the hold status). "Figure17
HOLD" shows the timing waveforms. The device is placed in the hold status at the falling HOLD edge while the logic
level of SCK is low, and it exits from the hold status at the rising HOLD edge. When the logic level of SCK is high,
HOLD must not rise or fall. The hold function takes effect when the logic level of CS is low, the hold status is exited
and serial communication is reset at the rising CS edge. In the hold status, the SO output is in the high-impedance state,
and SI and SCK are "don't care".

13. Power-on
In order to protect against unintentional writing, CS must be within at VDD-0.3 to VDD+0.3 on power-on. After poweron, the supply voltage has stabilized at VDD min. or higher, waits for tPU before inputting the command to start a
device operation. The device is in the standby state and not in the power-down state after power is turned on. To put the
device into the power-down state, it is necessary to enter a power-down command.

14. Software Data Protection
The LE25U40CQE eliminates the possibility of unintentional operations by not recognizing commands under the
following conditions.
 When a write command is input and the rising CS edge timing is not in a bus cycle (8 CLK units of SCK)
 When the page program data is not in 1-byte increments
 When the status register write command is input for 2 bus cycles or more
15. Decoupling Capacitor
A 0.1F ceramic capacitor must be provided to each device and connected between VDD and VSS in order to ensure
that the device will operate stably.
