SST25LF020A SPI serial flash memories are manufactured with SST’s proprietary, high performance CMOS SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and manufacturability compared with alternate approaches. The SST25LF020A devices significantly improve performance, while lowering power consumption. The total energy consumed is a function of the applied voltage, cur- ©2010 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc. S71242-07-000 01/10 1 rent, and time of application. Since for any given voltage range, the SuperFlash technology uses less current to program and has a shorter erase time, the total energy consumed during any Erase or Program operation is less than alternative flash memory technologies. The SST25LF020A devices operate with a single 3.0-3.6V power supply. The SST25LF020A devices are offered in an 8-lead SOIC 150 mil body width (SA) package, and in an 8-contact WSON package.

S71242-07-000 3 01/10 2 Mbit SPI Serial Flash SST25LF020A Data Sheet PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION DEVICE OPERATION The SST25LF020A is accessed through the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol. The SPI bus consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is used to select the device, and data is accessed through the Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK). TABLE 2: Product Identification Manufacturer’s ID Address Data 00000H BFH 00001H 43H Device ID SST25LF020A The SST25LF020A supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and Mode 3 (1,1) of SPI bus operations. The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 3, is the state of the SCK signal when the bus master is in Stand-by mode and no data is being transferred. The SCK signal is low for Mode 0 and SCK signal is high for Mode 3. For both modes, the Serial Data In (SI) is sampled at the rising edge of the SCK clock signal and the Serial Data Output (SO) is driven after the falling edge of the SCK clock signal.

See Figure 4 for Hold Condition waveform. HOLD# pin is used to pause a serial sequence underway with the SPI flash memory without resetting the clocking sequence. To activate the HOLD# mode, CE# must be in active low state. The HOLD# mode begins when the SCK active low state coincides with the falling edge of the HOLD# signal. The HOLD mode ends when the HOLD# signal’s rising edge coincides with the SCK active low state. Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in highimpedance state while SI and SCK can be VIL or VIH. If CE# is driven active high during a Hold condition, it resets the internal logic of the device. As long as HOLD# signal is low, the memory remains in the Hold condition. To resume communication with the device, HOLD# must be driven active high, and CE# must be driven active low. See Figure 19 for Hold timing. If the falling edge of the HOLD# signal does not coincide with the SCK active low state, then the device enters Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the active low state.

The Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lock-down function of the status register. The Block-Protection bits (BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status register provide Write protection to the memory array and the status register. See Table 5 for Block-Protection description. WP# BPL L 1 Execute WRSR Instruction Not Allowed L 0 Allowed H X Allowed T3.0 1242 Write Protect Pin (WP#) The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down function of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register. When WP# is driven low, the execution of the Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction is determined by the value of the BPL bit (see Table 3). When WP# is high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled. ©2010 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.

Table 4 describes the function of each bit in the software status register. The software status register provides status on whether the flash memory array is available for any Read or Write operation, whether the device is Write enabled, and the state of the memory Write protection. During an internal Erase or TABLE 4: Software Status Register Default at Power-up Read/Write 1 = Internal Write operation is in progress 0 = No internal Write operation is in progress 0 R WEL 1 = Device is memory Write enabled 0 = Device is not memory Write enabled 0 R 2 BP0 Indicate current level of block write protection (See Table 5) 1 R/W 3 BP1 Indicate current level of block write protection (See Table 5) 1 R/W 4:5 RES Reserved for future use 0 N/A 6 AAI Auto Address Increment Programming status 1 = AAI programming mode 0 = Byte-Program mode 0 R 7 BPL 1 = BP1, BP0 are read-only bits 0 = BP1, BP0 are read/writable 0 R/W Bit Name Function 0 BUSY 1 T4.0 1242 Busy The Busy bit determines whether there is an internal Erase or Program operation in progress. A “1” for the Busy bit indicates the device is busy with an operation in progress. A “0” indicates the device is ready for the next valid operation. Write Enable Latch (WEL) The Write-Enable-Latch bit indicates the status of the internal memory Write Enable Latch. If the Write-Enable-Latch bit is set to “1”, it indicates the device is Write enabled. If the bit is set to “0” (reset), it indicates the device is not Write enabled and does not accept any memory Write (Program/ Erase) commands. The Write-Enable-Latch bit is automatically reset under the following conditions: • • • • • • • Power-up Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction completion Byte-Program instruction completion Auto Address Increment (AAI) programming reached its highest memory address Sector-Erase instruction completion Block-Erase instruction completion Chip-Erase instruction completion ©2010 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.

The Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction is used to program the BP1 and BP0 bits as long as WP# is high or the Block-Protect-Lock (BPL) bit is 0. Chip-Erase can only be executed if Block-Protection bits are both 0. After power-up, BP1 and BP0 are set to 1. WP# pin driven low (VIL), enables the Block-ProtectionLock-Down (BPL) bit. When BPL is set to 1, it prevents any further alteration of the BPL, BP1, and BP0 bits. When the WP# pin is driven high (VIH), the BPL bit has no effect and its value is “Don’t Care”. After power-up, the BPL bit is reset to 0.

CE# must be driven low before an instruction is entered and must be driven high after the last bit of the instruction has been shifted in (except for Read, Read-ID and Read-Status-Register instructions). Any low to high transition on CE#, before receiving the last bit of an instruction bus cycle, will terminate the instruction in progress and return the device to the standby mode. Instruction commands (Op Code), addresses, and data are all input from the most significant bit (MSB) first. Instructions are used to Read, Write (Erase and Program), and configure the SST25LF020A. The instruction bus cycles are 8 bits each for commands (Op Code), data, and addresses. Prior to executing any Byte-Program, Auto Address Increment (AAI) programming, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, or Chip-Erase instructions, the Write-Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed first.

See Table 3 for a summary description of WP# and BPL functions. CE# must be driven low before the command sequence of the WRSR instruction is entered and driven high before the WRSR instruction is executed. See Figure 15 for EWSR and WRSR instruction sequences. Write-Status-Register (WRSR) The Write-Status-Register instruction works in conjunction with the Enable-Write-Status-Register (EWSR) instruction to write new values to the BP1, BP0, and BPL bits of the status register. The Write-Status-Register instruction must be executed immediately after the execution of the EnableWrite-Status-Register instruction (very next instruction bus cycle). This two-step instruction sequence of the EWSR instruction followed by the WRSR instruction works like SDP (software data protection) command structure which prevents any accidental alteration of the status register values. The Write-Status-Register instruction will be ignored when WP# is low and BPL bit is set to “1”. When the WP# is low, the BPL bit can only be set from “0” to “1” to lockdown the status register, but cannot be reset from “1” to “0”.

Once the device is in Read-ID mode, the manufacturer’s and device ID output data toggles between address 00000H and 00001H until terminated by a low to high transition on CE#. The Read-ID instruction identifies the devices as SST25LF020A and manufacturer as SST. The device information can be read from executing an 8-bit command, 90H or ABH, followed by address bits [A23-A0].
