Product Description
25 series Serial Flash family features a four-wire, SPIcompatible interface that allows for a low pin-count
package which occupies less board space and ultimately lowers total system costs. The SST25VF080B
devices are enhanced with improved operating frequency and lower power consumption. SST25VF080B
SPI serial flash memories are manufactured with 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 SST25VF080B devices significantly improve performance and reliability, while lowering power consumption. The devices write (Program or Erase) with a
single power supply of 2.7-3.6V for SST25VF080B.
The total energy consumed is a function of the applied
voltage, current, 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 SST25VF080B device is offered in 8-lead SOIC
(200 mils), 8-contact WSON (6mm x 5mm), and 8-lead
PDIP (300 mils) packages. See Figure 2-1 for pin
assignments.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
used to select the device, and data is accessed through
the Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and
Serial Clock (SCK).
The SST25VF080B SuperFlash memory array is organized in uniform 4 KByte erasable sectors with 32
KByte overlay blocks and 64 KByte overlay erasable
blocks.
4.0
The SST25VF080B 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 4-1, 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.
DEVICE OPERATION
The SST25VF080B is accessed through the SPI (Serial
Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol. The SPI
bus consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is

Hold Operation
The 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.
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. Similarly, if the rising edge of the
FIGURE 4-2:
1296 SPIprot.0
HOLD# signal does not coincide with the SCK active
low state, then the device exits in Hold mode when the
SCK next reaches the active low state. See Figure 4-2
for Hold Condition waveform.
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 5-3 for Hold timing.

Write Protection
4.2.1
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 WriteStatus-Register (WRSR) instruction is determined by
the value of the BPL bit (see Table 4-1). When WP# is
high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled.
SST25VF080B provides software Write protection. The
Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lockdown function of the status register. The Block-Protection bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status
register provide Write protection to the memory array
and the status register. See Table 4-3 for the Block-Protection description.

BLOCK PROTECTION (BP3,BP2,
BP1, BP0)
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, BP3, BP2, 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.
The Block-Protection (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits define
the size of the memory area, as defined in Table 4-3, to
be software protected against any memory Write (Program or Erase) operation. The Write-Status-Register
(WRSR) instruction is used to program the BP3, BP2,

Instructions
of CE#. Inputs will be accepted on the rising edge of
SCK starting with the most significant bit. 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-StatusRegister 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 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 SST25VF080B. 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, Write-Status-Register, or Chip-Erase instructions, the Write-Enable
(WREN) instruction must be executed first. The complete list of instructions is provided in Table 4-4. All
instructions are synchronized off a high to low transition

HIGH-SPEED-READ (66 MHz)1
Following a dummy cycle, the High-Speed-Read
instruction outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses until terminated by a low to high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically increment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. Once the data from address location FFFFFH
has been read, the next output will be from address
location 00000H.
The High-Speed-Read instruction, supporting up to
66 MHz Read, is initiated by executing an 8-bit command, 0BH, followed by address bits [A23-A0] and a
dummy byte. CE# must remain active low for the duration of the High-Speed-Read cycle. See Figure 4-4 for
the High-Speed-Read sequence.

BYTE-PROGRAM
The Byte-Program instruction is initiated by executing
an 8-bit command, 02H, followed by address bits [A23A0]. Following the address, the data is input in order
from MSB (bit 7) to LSB (bit 0). CE# must be driven
high before the instruction is executed. The user may
poll the Busy bit in the software status register or wait
TBP for the completion of the internal self-timed ByteProgram operation. See Figure 4-5 for the Byte-Program sequence.
The Byte-Program instruction programs the bits in the
selected byte to the desired data. The selected byte
must be in the erased state (FFH) when initiating a Program operation. A Byte-Program instruction applied to a
protected memory area will be ignored.
Prior to any Write operation, the Write-Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed. CE# must remain active
low for the duration of the Byte-Program instruction.

AUTO ADDRESS INCREMENT (AAI)
WORD-PROGRAM
The AAI program instruction allows multiple bytes of
data to be programmed without re-issuing the next
sequential address location. This feature decreases
total programming time when multiple bytes or entire
memory array is to be programmed. An AAI Word program instruction pointing to a protected memory area
will be ignored. The selected address range must be in
the erased state (FFH) when initiating an AAI Word
Program operation. While within AAI Word Programming sequence, only the following instructions are
valid: for software end-of-write detection—AAI Word
(ADH), WRDI (04H), and RDSR (05H); for hardware
end-of-write detection—AAI Word (ADH) and WRDI
(04H). There are three options to determine the completion of each AAI Word program cycle: hardware
detection by reading the Serial Output, software detection by polling the BUSY bit in the software status register, or wait TBP. Refer to“End-of-Write Detection” for
details.
Prior to any write operation, the Write-Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed. Initiate the AAI Word
Program instruction by executing an 8-bit command,
ADH, followed by address bits [A23-A0]. Following the
addresses, two bytes of data are input sequentially,
each one from MSB (Bit 7) to LSB (Bit 0). The first byte
of data (D0) is programmed into the initial address [A23A1] with A0=0, the second byte of Data (D1) is programmed into the initial address [A23-A1] with A0=1.
CE# must be driven high before executing the AAI
2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
Word Program instruction. Check the BUSY status
before entering the next valid command. Once the
device indicates it is no longer busy, data for the next
two sequential addresses may be programmed, followed by the next two, and so on.
When programming the last desired word, or the highest unprotected memory address, check the busy status using either the hardware or software (RDSR
instruction) method to check for program completion.
Once programming is complete, use the applicable
method to terminate AAI. If the device is in Software
End-of-Write Detection mode, execute the Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction, 04H. If the device is in AAI
Hardware End-of-Write Detection mode, execute the
Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction, 04H, followed by the
8-bit DBSY command, 80H. There is no wrap mode
during AAI programming once the highest unprotected
memory address is reached. See Figures 4-8 and 4-9
for the AAI Word programming sequence.
4.4.5
END-OF-WRITE DETECTION
There are three methods to determine completion of a
program cycle during AAI Word programming: hardware detection by reading the Serial Output, software
detection by polling the BUSY bit in the Software Status
Register, or wait TBP. The Hardware End-of-Write
detection method is described in the section below.

on the SO pin. A ‘0’ indicates the device is busy and a
‘1’ indicates the device is ready for the next instruction.
De-asserting CE# will return the SO pin to tri-state.
While in AAI and Hardware End-of-Write detection
mode, the only valid instructions are AAI Word (ADH)
and WRDI (04H).
The Hardware End-of-Write detection method eliminates the overhead of polling the Busy bit in the Software Status Register during an AAI Word program
operation. The 8-bit command, 70H, configures the
Serial Output (SO) pin to indicate Flash Busy status

The Enable-Write-Status-Register (EWSR) 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. CE# must

reset from “1” to “0”. When WP# is high, the lock-down
function of the BPL bit is disabled and the BPL, BP0,

changed. As long as BPL bit is set to 0 or WP# pin is
driven high (VIH) prior to the low-to-high transition of the
CE# pin at the end of the WRSR instruction, the bits in
the status register can all be altered by the WRSR
instruction. In this case, a single WRSR instruction can
set the BPL bit to “1” to lock down the status register as
well as altering the BP0, BP1, and BP2 bits at the same
time. See Table 4-1 for a summary description of WP#
and BPL functions.
The Write-Status-Register instruction writes new values to the BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, and BPL bits of the status register. 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 4-17 for EWSR or WREN and
WRSR instruction sequences.
Executing the Write-Status-Register instruction will be

When the WP# is low, the BPL bit can only be set from
“0” to “1” to lock-down the status register, but cannot be
