Product Description
The Serial Quad I/O™ (SQI™) family of flash-memory
devices features a six-wire, 4-bit I/O interface that allows for
low-power, high-performance operation in a low pin-count
package. SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA also support full command-set compatibility to traditional Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. System
designs using SQI flash devices occupy less board space
and ultimately lower system costs.
All members of the 26 Series, SQI family 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 SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA significantly improves performance and reliability, while lowering power consumption. This device
writes (Program or Erase) with a single power supply of
1.65-1.95V. 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.
SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/080BA is
offered in 8-contact WDFN (6 mm x 5 mm), 8-lead SOIC
(150 mil), 8-contact USON, and 8-ball XFBGA (Z-Scale™)
packages. See Figure 2-1 for pin assignments.
Two configurations are available upon order:
SST26WF040B and SST26WF080B default at powerup has the WP# and Hold# pins enabled and
SST26WF040BA and SST26WF080BA default at
power-up has the WP# and Hold# pins disabled.

DEVICE OPERATION
the two modes 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 I/O (SIO[3:0]) is sampled at the rising edge of the
SCK clock signal for input, and driven after the falling
edge of the SCK clock signal for output. The traditional
SPI protocol uses separate input (SI) and output (SO)
data signals as shown in Figure 4-1. The SQI protocol
uses four multiplexed signals, SIO[3:0], for both data in
and data out, as shown in Figure 4-2. This means the
SQI protocol quadruples the traditional bus transfer
speed at the same clock frequency, without the need
for more pins on the package.
The SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA support both Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
bus protocol and a 4-bit multiplexed SQI bus protocol.
To provide backward compatibility to traditional SPI
Serial Flash devices, the device’s initial state after a
power-on reset is SPI mode which supports multi-I/O
(x1/x2/x4) Read/Write commands. A command instruction configures the device to SQI mode. The dataflow in
the SQI mode is similar to the SPI mode, except it uses
four multiplexed I/O signals for command, address, and
data sequence.
SQI Flash Memory supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and
Mode 3 (1,1) bus operations. The difference between

Device Protection
The SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA offer a flexible memory protection scheme that
allows the protection state of each individual block to be
controlled separately. In addition, the Write-Protection
Lock-Down register prevents any change of the lock status during device operation. To avoid inadvertent writes
during power-up, the device is write-protected by default
after a power-on reset cycle. A Global Block-Protection
Unlock command offers a single command cycle that
unlocks the entire memory array for faster manufacturing throughput.
For extra protection, there is an additional non-volatile
register that can permanently write-protect the BlockProtection register bits for each individual block. Each
of the corresponding lock-down bits are one time programmable (OTP)—once written, they cannot be
erased. Data that had been previously programmed
into these blocks cannot be altered by programming or
erase and is not reversible
2014-2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.1.1
INDIVIDUAL BLOCK PROTECTION
The SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA have a Block-Protection register which provides
a software mechanism to write-lock the individual
memory blocks and write-lock, and/or read-lock, the
individual parameter blocks. The Block-Protection register is 24 bits (4 Mbit) or 32 (8 Mbit) wide: two bits each
for the eight 8 KByte parameter blocks (write-lock and
read-lock), and one bit each for the remaining 32 KByte
and 64 KByte overlay blocks (write-lock). See Table 56 for address range protected per register bit.
Each bit in the Block-Protection register (BPR) can be
written to a ‘1’ (protected) or ‘0’ (unprotected). For the
parameter blocks, the most significant bit is for read-lock,
and the least significant bit is for write-lock. Read-locking
the parameter blocks provides additional security for sensitive data after retrieval (e.g., after initial boot). If a block
is read-locked all reads to the block return data 00H.
The Write Block-Protection Register command is a
two-cycle command which requires that Write-Enable
(WREN) is executed prior to the Write Block-Protection
DS20005283C-page 7
SST26WF040B/040BA SST26WF080B/080BA
Register command. The Global Block-Protection
Unlock command clears all write protection bits in the
Block-Protection register.
4.1.2
bit in the BPR.
Note that if the Block-Protection register had been previously locked down, see “ Write-Protection LockDown (Volatile)”, the device must be power cycled
before using the nVWLDR. If the Block-Protection register is locked down and the Write nVWLDR command
is accessed, the command will be ignored.
WRITE-PROTECTION LOCKDOWN (VOLATILE)
To prevent changes to the Block-Protection register,
use the Lock-Down Block-Protection Register (LBPR)
command to enable Write-Protection Lock-Down.
Once Write-Protection Lock-Down is enabled, the
Block-Protection register can not be changed. To avoid
inadvertent lock down, the WREN command must be
executed prior to the LBPR command.
4.2
To reset Write-Protection Lock-Down, performing a power
cycle on the device is required. The Write-Protection
Lock-Down status may be read from the Status register.
4.1.3
WRITE-LOCK LOCK-DOWN
(NON-VOLATILE)
The non-Volatile Write-Lock Lock-Down register is an
alternate register that permanently prevents changes
to the block-protect bits. The non-Volatile Write-Lock
Lock-Down register (nVWLDR) is 16 bits (4 Mbit) or
24 bits (8 Mbit) wide per device: one bit each for the
eight 8-KByte parameter blocks, and one bit each for
the remaining 32 KByte and 64 KByte overlay blocks.
See Table 5-6 for address range protected per register
bit.
Writing ‘1’ to any or all of the nVWLDR bits disables the
change mechanism for the corresponding Write-Lock
bit in the BPR, and permanently sets this bit to a ‘1’
(protected) state. After this change, both bits will be set
to ‘1’, regardless of the data entered in subsequent
writes to either the nVWLDR or the BPR. Subsequent
writes to the nVWLDR can only alter available locations
that have not been previously written to a ‘1’. This
method provides write-protection for the corresponding
memory-array block by protecting it from future program or erase operations.
Writing a ‘0’ in any location in the nVWLDR has no effect
on either the nVWLDR or the corresponding Write-Lock

Hardware Write Protection
The hardware Write Protection pin (WP#) is used in conjunction with the WPEN and IOC bits in the configuration
register to prohibit write operations to the Block-Protection and Configuration registers. The WP# pin function
only works in SPI single-bit and dual-bit read mode when
the IOC bit in the configuration register is set to ‘0’.
The WP# pin function is disabled when the WPEN bit
in the configuration register is ‘0’. This allows installation of the SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA in a system with a grounded WP# pin while still
enabling Write to the Block-Protection register. The
Lock-Down function of the Block-Protection Register
supersedes the WP# pin, see Table 4-1 for Write Protection Lock-Down states.
The factory default setting at power-up of the WPEN bit
is ‘0’, disabling the Write Protect function of the WP#
after power-up. WPEN is a non-volatile bit; once the bit
is set to ‘1’, the Write Protect function of the WP# pin
continues to be enabled after power-up. The WP# pin
only protects the Block-Protection Register and Configuration Register from changes. Therefore, if the WP#
pin is set to low before or after a Program or Erase
command, or while an internal Write is in progress, it
will have no effect on the Write command.
The IOC bit takes priority over the WPEN bit in the configuration register. When the IOC bit is ‘1’, the function
of the WP# pin is disabled and the WPEN bit serves no
function. When the IOC bit is ‘0’ and WPEN is ‘1’, setting the WP# pin active low prohibits Write operations
to the Block Protection Register.

Security ID
SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/080BA
offers a 2 KByte Security ID (Sec ID) feature. The
Security ID space is divided into two parts – one factory-programmed, 64-bit segment and one user-programmable segment. The factory-programmed
segment is programmed during manufacturing with a
unique number and cannot be changed. The user-programmable segment is left unprogrammed for the customer to program as desired.
Use the Program Security ID (PSID) command to program the Security ID using the address shown in Table
5-5. The Security ID can be locked using the Lockout
Security ID (LSID) command. This prevents any future
write operations to the Security ID.
The factory-programmed portion of the Security ID
can’t be programmed by the user; neither the factoryprogrammed nor user-programmable areas can be
erased.
4.4
Hold Operation
The HOLD# pin pauses active serial sequences without resetting the clocking sequence. This pin is active
after every power up and only operates during SPI
single-bit and dual-bit modes. Two factory configurations
are
available:
SST26WF040B
and
FIGURE 4-3:
SST26WF080B ship with the IOC bit set to ‘0’ and the
HOLD# pin function enabled; SST26WF040BA and
SST26WF080BA ship with the IOC bit set to ‘1’ and the
HOLD# pin function disabled. The HOLD# pin is always
disabled in SQI mode and only works in SPI single-bit
and dual-bit read mode.
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
HOLD# signal does not coincide with the SCK active
low state, then the device exits Hold mode when the
SCK next reaches the active low state. See Figure 4-3.
Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in high
impedance 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.

command, the SEC bit can never be reset to ‘0.’
4.5.6
BUSY
The Busy bit determines whether there is an internal
Erase or Program operation in progress. If the BUSY
bit is ‘1’, the device is busy with an internal Erase or
Program operation. If the bit is ‘0’, no Erase or Program
operation is in progress.

I/O CONFIGURATION (IOC)
The I/O Configuration (IOC) bit re-configures the I/O
pins. The IOC bit is set by writing a ‘1’ to Bit 1 of the
Configuration register. When IOC bit is ‘0’ the WP# pin
and HOLD# pin are enabled (SPI or Dual Configuration
setup). When IOC bit is set to ‘1’ the SIO2 pin and SIO3
pin are enabled (SPI Quad I/O Configuration setup).
The IOC bit must be set to ‘1’ before issuing the following SPI commands: SQOR (6BH), SQIOR (EBH),
RBSPI (ECH), and SPI Quad page program (32H).
Without setting the IOC bit to ‘1’, those SPI commands
are not valid. The I/O configuration bit does not apply
when in SQI mode. The default at power-up for
SST26WF040B and SST26WF080B is ‘0’ and for
SST26WF040BA and SST26WF080BA is ‘1’.
4.5.9
BLOCK-PROTECTION VOLATILITY
STATE (BPNV)
The Block-Protection Volatility State bit indicates
whether any block has been permanently locked with
the non-Volatile Write-Lock Lock-Down register
(nVWLDR). When no bits in the nVWLDR have been
set (the default state from the factory) the BPNV bit is
`1'; when one or more bits in the nVWLDR are set to `1'
the BPNV bit will also be `0' from that point forward,
even after power-up.
4.5.10
WRITE-PROTECT ENABLE (WPEN)
The Write-Protect Enable (WPEN) bit is a non-volatile
bit that enables the WP# pin.
The Write-Protect (WP#) pin and the Write-Protect
Enable (WPEN) bit control the programmable hardware write-protect feature. Setting the WP# pin to low,
and the WPEN bit to ‘1’, enables Hardware write-protection. To disable Hardware write protection, set either
the WP# pin to high or the WPEN bit to ‘0’. There is
latency associated with writing to the WPEN bit. Poll
the BUSY bit in the Status register, or wait TWPEN, for
the completion of the internal, self-timed Write operation. When the chip is hardware write protected, only
Write operations to Block-Protection and Configuration
registers are disabled. See “Hardware Write Protection” on page 8 and Table 4-1 for more information
about the functionality of the WPEN bit.

Command cycle is two clock periods in SQI mode and eight clock periods in SPI mode.
Address bits above the most significant bit of each density can be VIL or VIH.
Address, Dummy/Mode bits, and Data cycles are two clock periods in SQI and eight clock periods in SPI mode.
RST command only executed if RSTEN command is executed first. Any intervening command will disable Reset.
Device accepts eight-clock command in SPI mode, or two-clock command in SQI mode.
Data cycles are two clock periods. IOC bit must be set to ‘1’ before issuing the command.
Address, Dummy/Mode bits, and data cycles are two clock periods. IOC bit must be set to ‘1’ before issuing the command.
Data cycles are four clock periods.
Address, Dummy/Mode bits, and Data cycles are four clock periods.

5.1
No Operation (NOP)
The Reset operation requires the Reset-Enable command followed by the Reset command. Any command
other than the Reset command after the Reset-Enable
command will disable the Reset-Enable.
The No Operation command only cancels a Reset
Enable command. NOP has no impact on any other
command.
5.2
Once the Reset-Enable and Reset commands are successfully executed, the device returns to normal operation Read mode and then does the following: resets the
protocol to SPI mode, resets the burst length to 8
Bytes, clears all the bits, except for bit 4 (WPLD) and
bit 5 (SEC), in the Status register to their default states,
and clears bit 1 (IOC) in the configuration register to its
default state. A device reset during an active Program
or Erase operation aborts the operation, which can
cause the data of the targeted address range to be corrupted or lost. Depending on the prior operation, the
reset timing may vary. Recovery from a Write operation
requires more latency time than recovery from other
operations. See Table 8-2 on page 46 for Rest timing
parameters.
Reset-Enable (RSTEN) and Reset
(RST)
The Reset operation is used as a system (software)
reset that puts the device in normal operating Ready
mode. This operation consists of two commands:
Reset-Enable (RSTEN) followed by Reset (RST).
To
reset
the
SST26WF040B/040BA
and
SST26WF080B/080BA, the host drives CE# low,
sends the Reset-Enable command (66H), and drives
CE# high. Next, the host drives CE# low again, sends
the Reset command (99H), and drives CE# high, see
Figure 5-1.

The Read instruction, 03H, is supported in SPI bus protocol only with clock frequencies up to 40 MHz. This
command is not supported in SQI bus protocol. The
device outputs the data starting from the specified
address location, then continuously streams the data
output through all addresses until terminated by a lowto-high transition on CE#. The internal address pointer

configuration during a read sequence. This command
allows the flash device to return to the default I/O state

In SQI protocol, the host drives CE# low then send the

mand, 0BH, and does not require the op-code to be
entered again. The host may initiate the next Read
cycle by driving CE# low, then sending the four-bits
input for address A[23:0], followed by the Set Mode
configuration bits M[7:0], and two dummy cycles. After
the two dummy cycles, the device outputs the data
starting from the specified address location. There are
no restrictions on address location access.
After the dummy cycles, the device outputs data on the
falling edge of the SCK signal starting from the specified address location. The device continually streams
data output through all addresses until terminated by a
low-to-high transition on CE#. The internal address
pointer automatically increments until the highest memory address is reached, at which point the address
pointer returns to address location 000000H. During
this operation, blocks that are Read-locked will output
data 00H.
When M[7:0] is any value other than AXH, the device
expects the next instruction initiated to be a command
instruction. To reset/exit the Set Mode configuration,
execute the Reset Quad I/O command, FFH. While in
the Set Mode configuration, the RSTQIO command will
only return the device to a state where it can accept
new SQI command instruction. An additional RSTQIO
is required to reset the device to SPI mode. See Figure
5-10 for the SPI Quad I/O Mode Read sequence when
M[7:0] = AXH.
The Set Mode Configuration bit M[7:0] indicates if the
next instruction cycle is another SQI High-Speed Read

SPI Quad I/O Read
The Set Mode Configuration bit M[7:0] indicates if the
next instruction cycle is another SPI Quad I/O Read
command. When M[7:0] = AXH, the device expects the
next continuous instruction to be another Read command, EBH, and does not require the op-code to be
entered again. The host may set the next SQIOR cycle
by driving CE# low, then sending the four-bit wide input
for address A[23:0], followed by the Set Mode configuration bits M[7:0], and two dummy cycles. After the two
dummy cycles, the device outputs the data starting
from the specified address location. There are no
restrictions on address location access.
The SPI Quad I/O Read (SQIOR) instruction supports
up to 104 MHz frequency. SST26WF040B and
SST26WF080B requires the IOC bit in the configuration register to be set to ‘1’ prior to executing the command. Initiate SQIOR by executing an 8-bit command,
EBH. The device then switches to 4-bit I/O mode for
address bits A[23-0], followed by the Set Mode configuration bits M[7:0], and two dummy bytes.CE# must
remain active low for the duration of the SPI Quad I/O
Read. See Figure 5-9 for the SPI Quad I/O Read
sequence.
When M[7:0] is any value other than AXH, the device
expects the next instruction initiated to be a command
instruction. To reset/exit the Set Mode configuration,
execute the Reset Quad I/O command, FFH. See Figure 5-10 for the SPI Quad I/O Mode Read sequence
when M[7:0] = AXH.
Following the dummy bytes, the device outputs data
from the specified address location. The device continually streams data output through all addresses until
terminated by a low-to-high transition on CE#. The
internal address pointer automatically increments until
the highest memory address is reached, at which point
the address pointer returns to the beginning of the
address space.

sends the Set Burst command cycle (C0H) and one
data cycle, then drives CE# high. After power-up or
reset, the burst length is set to eight Bytes (00H). See
Table 5-2 for burst length data and Figures 5-11 and 512 for the sequences.
The Set Burst command specifies the number of bytes
to be output during a Read Burst command before the
device wraps around. It supports both SPI and SQI protocols. To set the burst length the host drives CE# low,

SQI Read Burst with Wrap (RBSQI)
SQI Read Burst with wrap is similar to High Speed
Read in SQI mode, except data will output continuously
within the burst length until a low-to-high transition on
CE#. To execute a SQI Read Burst operation, drive
CE# low then send the Read Burst command cycle
(0CH), followed by three address cycles, and then
three dummy cycles. Each cycle is two nibbles (clocks)
long, most significant nibble first.
After the dummy cycles, the device outputs data on the
falling edge of the SCK signal starting from the specified address location. The data output stream is continuous through all addresses until terminated by a low-tohigh transition on CE#.
During RBSQI, the internal address pointer automatically increments until the last byte of the burst is
reached, then it wraps around to the first byte of the
burst. All bursts are aligned to addresses within the
burst length, see Table 5-3. For example, if the burst
length is eight Bytes, and the start address is 06h, the
burst sequence would be: 06h, 07h, 00h, 01h, 02h,
03h, 04h, 05h, 06h, etc. The pattern repeats until the
command is terminated by a low-to-high transition on
CE#.
During this operation, blocks that are Read-locked will
output data 00H.
TABLE 5-3:

SPI Read Burst with Wrap (RBSPI)
SPI Read Burst with Wrap (RBSPI) is similar to SPI
Quad I/O Read except the data will output continuously
within the burst length until a low-to-high transition on
CE#. To execute a SPI Read Burst with Wrap operation, drive CE# low, then send the Read Burst command cycle (ECH), followed by three address cycles,
and then three dummy cycles.
After the dummy cycle, the device outputs data on the
falling edge of the SCK signal starting from the specified address location. The data output stream is continuous through all addresses until terminated by a low-tohigh transition on CE#.
During RBSPI, the internal address pointer automatically increments until the last byte of the burst is
reached, then it wraps around to the first byte of the
burst. All bursts are aligned to addresses within the
burst length, see Table 5-3. For example, if the burst
length is eight Bytes, and the start address is 06h, the
burst sequence would be: 06h, 07h, 00h, 01h, 02h,
03h, 04h, 05h, 06h, etc. The pattern repeats until the
command is terminated by a low-to-high transition on
CE#.
During this operation, blocks that are Read-locked will
output data 00H.

SPI Dual-Output Read
Following the dummy byte, the SST26WF040B/040BA
and SST26WF080B/080BA output data from SIO[1:0]
starting from the specified address location. The device
continually streams data output through all addresses
until terminated by a low-to-high transition on CE#. The
internal address pointer automatically increments until
the highest memory address is reached, at which point
the address pointer returns to the beginning of the
address space.
The SPI Dual-Output Read instruction supports up to
104 MHz frequency. Initiate SPI Dual-Output Read by
executing an 8-bit command, 3BH, followed by address
bits A[23-0] and a dummy byte. CE# must remain
active low for the duration of the SPI Dual-Output Read
operation. See Figure 5-13 for the SPI Quad Output
Read sequence.

SPI Dual I/O Read
The SPI Dual I/O Read (SDIOR) instruction supports

Following the Set Mode configuration bits, the
SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/080BA
outputs data from the specified address location. The
device continually streams data output through all
addresses until terminated by a low-to-high transition
on CE#. The internal address pointer automatically
increments until the highest memory address is
reached, at which point the address pointer returns to
the beginning of the address space.
The Set Mode Configuration bit M[7:0] indicates if the
next instruction cycle is another SPI Dual I/O Read
command. When M[7:0] = AXH, the device expects the
next continuous instruction to be another SDIOR command, BBH, and does not require the op-code to be
entered again. The host may set the next SDIOR cycle
by driving CE# low, then sending the two-bit wide input
for address A[23:0], followed by the Set Mode configuration bits M[7:0]. After the Set Mode configuration bits,
the device outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. There are no restrictions on address
location access.
When M[7:0] is any value other than AXH, the device
expects the next instruction initiated to be a command
instruction. To reset/exit the Set Mode configuration,

Sector-Erase
To execute a Sector-Erase operation, the host drives
CE# low, then sends the Sector Erase command cycle
(20H) and three address cycles, and then drives CE#
high. Address bits [AMS:A12] (AMS = Most Significant
Address) determine the sector address (SAX); the
remaining address bits can be VIL or VIH. To identify the
completion of the internal, self-timed, Write operation,
poll the BUSY bit in the Status register, or wait TSE. See
Figures 5-19 and 5-20 for the Sector-Erase sequence.
The Sector-Erase instruction clears all bits in the
selected 4 KByte sector to ‘1,’ but it does not change a
protected memory area. Prior to any write operation,
the Write-Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed.

Block-Erase
To execute a Block-Erase operation, the host drives
CE# low then sends the Block-Erase command cycle
(D8H), three address cycles, then drives CE# high.
Address bits AMS-A13 determine the block address
(BAX); the remaining address bits can be VIL or VIH. For
32 KByte blocks, A14:A13 can be VIL or VIH; for 64
KByte blocks, A15:A13 can be VIL or VIH. Poll the BUSY
bit in the Status register, or wait TBE, for the completion
of the internal, self-timed, Block-Erase operation. See
Figures 5-21 and 5-22 for the Block-Erase sequence.
The Block-Erase instruction clears all bits in the
selected block to ‘1’. Block sizes can be 8 KByte, 32
KByte or 64 KByte depending on address, see Figure
3-1, Memory Map, for details. A Block-Erase instruction
applied to a protected memory area will be ignored.
Prior to any write operation, execute the WREN instruction. Keep CE# active low for the duration of any command sequence.

tus register, or wait TPP, for the completion of the internal, self-timed, Block-Erase operation. See Figures 525 and 5-26 for the Page-Program sequence.
The Page-Program instruction programs up to 256
Bytes of data in the memory, and supports both SPI
and SQI protocols. The data for the selected page
address must be in the erased state (FFH) before initiating the Page-Program operation. A Page-Program
applied to a protected memory area will be ignored.
Prior to the program operation, execute the WREN
instruction.
When executing Page-Program, the memory range for
the SST26WF040B/040BA and SST26WF080B/
080BA is divided into 256 Byte page boundaries. The
device handles shifting of more than 256 Bytes of data
by maintaining the last 256 Bytes of data as the correct
data to be programmed. If the target address for the
Page-Program instruction is not the beginning of the
page boundary (A[7:0] are not all zero), and the number of bytes of data input exceeds or overlaps the end
of the address of the page boundary, the excess data
inputs wrap around and will be programmed at the start
of that target page.
To execute a Page-Program operation, the host drives
CE# low then sends the Page Program command cycle
(02H), three address cycles followed by the data to be
programmed, then drives CE# high. The programmed
data must be between 1 to 256 Bytes and in whole Byte
increments; sending less than a full Byte will cause the

SPI Quad Page-Program
The SPI Quad Page-Program instruction programs up
to 256 Bytes of data in the memory. The data for the
selected page address must be in the erased state
(FFH) before initiating the SPI Quad Page-Program
operation. A SPI Quad Page-Program applied to a protected memory area will be ignored. SST26WF040B
and SST26WF080B requires the ICO bit in the configuration register to be set to ‘1’ prior to executing the
command.Prior to the program operation, execute the
WREN instruction.
To execute a SPI Quad Page-Program operation, the
host drives CE# low then sends the SPI Quad PageProgram command cycle (32H), three address cycles
followed by the data to be programmed, then drives
CE# high. The programmed data must be between 1 to
256 Bytes and in whole Byte increments. The com-

cycles are each two clocks long, most significant bit
first. Poll the BUSY bit in the Status register, or wait TPP,

Write-Suspend and Write-Resume
Write-Suspend allows the interruption of Sector-Erase,
Block-Erase, SPI Quad Page-Program, or Page-Program operations in order to erase, program, or read
data in another portion of memory. The original operation can be continued with the Write-Resume command. This operation is supported in both SQI and SPI
protocols.
Only one write operation can be suspended at a time;
if an operation is already suspended, the device will
ignore the Write-Suspend command. Write-Suspend
during Chip-Erase is ignored; Chip-Erase is not a valid
command while a write is suspended. The WriteResume command is ignored until any write operation
(Program or Erase) initiated during the Write-Suspend
is complete. The device requires a minimum of 500 µs
between each Write-Suspend command.

5.23
Write-Suspend During SectorErase or Block-Erase
Issuing a Write-Suspend instruction during SectorErase or Block-Erase allows the host to program or
read any sector that was not being erased. The device
will ignore any programming commands pointing to the
suspended sector(s). Any attempt to read from the suspended sector(s) will output unknown data because the
Sector- or Block-Erase will be incomplete.
To execute a Write-Suspend operation, the host drives
CE# low, sends the Write Suspend command cycle
(B0H), then drives CE# high. The Status register indicates that the erase has been suspended by changing
the WSE bit from ‘0’ to ‘1,’ but the device will not accept
another command until it is ready. To determine when
the device will accept a new command, poll the BUSY
bit in the Status register or wait TWS.

Write Suspend During Page
Programming or SPI Quad Page
Programming
Issuing a Write-Suspend instruction during Page Programming allows the host to erase or read any sector
that is not being programmed. Erase commands pointing to the suspended sector(s) will be ignored. Any
attempt to read from the suspended page will output
unknown data because the program will be incomplete.
To execute a Write Suspend operation, the host drives
CE# low, sends the Write Suspend command cycle
(B0H), then drives CE# high. The Status register indicates that the programming has been suspended by
changing the WSP bit from ‘0’ to ‘1,’ but the device will
not accept another command until it is ready. To determine when the device will accept a new command, poll
the BUSY bit in the Status register or wait TWS.
5.25
Write-Resume
Write-Resume restarts a Write command that was suspended, and changes the suspend status bit in the Status register (WSE or WSP) back to ‘0’.
To execute a Write-Resume operation, the host drives
CE# low, sends the Write Resume command cycle
(30H), then drives CE# high. To determine if the internal, self-timed Write operation completed, poll the
BUSY bit in the Status register, or wait the specified
time TSE, TBE or TPP for Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, or
Page-Programming, respectively. The total write time
before suspend and after resume will not exceed the
uninterrupted write times TSE, TBE or TPP.
5.26
Read Security ID
The Read Security ID operation is supported in both
SPI and SQI modes. To execute a Read Security ID
(SID) operation in SPI mode, the host drives CE# low,
sends the Read Security ID command cycle (88H), two
address cycles, and then one dummy cycle. To execute
TABLE 5-5:
a Read Security ID operation in SQI mode, the host
drives CE# low and then sends the Read Security ID
command, two address cycles, and three dummy
cycles.
After the dummy cycles, the device outputs data on the
falling edge of the SCK signal, starting from the specified address location. The data output stream is continuous through all SID addresses until terminated by a
low-to-high transition on CE#. See Table 5-5 for the
Security ID address range.
5.27
Program Security ID
The Program Security ID instruction programs one to
2040 Bytes of data in the user-programmable, Security
ID space. This Security ID space is one-time programmable (OTP). The device ignores a Program Security
ID instruction pointing to an invalid or protected
address, see Table 5-5. Prior to the program operation,
execute WREN.
To execute a Program SID operation, the host drives
CE# low, sends the Program Security ID command
cycle (A5H), two address cycles, the data to be programmed, then drives CE# high. The programmed data
must be between 1 to 256 Bytes and in whole Byte
increments.
The device handles shifting of more than 256 Bytes of
data by maintaining the last 256 Bytes of data as the
correct data to be programmed. If the target address for
the Program Security ID instruction is not the beginning
of the page boundary, and the number of data input
exceeds or overlaps the end of the address of the page
boundary, the excess data inputs wrap around and will
be programmed at the start of that target page.
The Program Security ID operation is supported in both
SPI and SQI mode. To determine the completion of the
internal, self-timed Program SID operation, poll the
BUSY bit in the software status register, or wait TPSID
for the completion of the internal self-timed Program
Security ID operation.

Lockout Security ID
The Lockout Security ID instruction prevents any future
changes to the Security ID, and is supported in both
SPI and SQI modes. Prior to the operation, execute
WREN.
DS20005283C-page 30
To execute a Lockout SID, the host drives CE# low,
sends the Lockout Security ID command cycle (85H),
then drives CE# high. Poll the BUSY bit in the software
status register, or wait TPSID, for the completion of the
Lockout Security ID operation.

Read-Status Register (RDSR) and
Read-Configuration Register
(RDCR)
bit before sending any new commands to assure that
the new commands are properly received by the
device.
To Read the Status or Configuration registers, the host
drives CE# low, then sends the Read-Status-Register
command cycle (05H) or the Read Configuration Register command (35H). A dummy cycle is required in
SQI mode. Immediately after the command cycle, the
device outputs data on the falling edge of the SCK signal. The data output stream continues until terminated
by a low-to-high transition on CE#. See Figures 5-28
and 5-29 for the RDSR instruction sequence.
The Read-Status Register (RDSR) and Read Configuration Register (RDCR) commands output the contents
of the Status and Configuration registers. These commands function in both SPI and SQI modes. The Status
register may be read at any time, even during a Write
operation. When a Write is in progress, poll the BUSY

Write-Enable (WREN)
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction sets the WriteEnable-Latch bit in the Status register to ‘1,’ allowing
Write operations to occur. The WREN instruction must
be executed prior to any of the following operations:
Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Page Program,
Program Security ID, Lockout Security ID, Write BlockProtection Register, Lock-Down Block-Protection Register, and Non-Volatile Write-Lock Lock-Down Register,
SPI Quad Page Program, and Write Status Register. To
execute a Write Enable the host drives CE# low then
sends the Write Enable command cycle (06H) then
drives CE# high. See Figures 5-32 and 5-33 for the
WREN instruction sequence. See Figures 5-32 and 533 for the WREN instruction sequence.
FIGURE 5-32:

CE# high before executing WRDI.
To execute a Write-Disable, the host drives CE# low,

Read Block-Protection Register
(RBPR)
After the command cycle, the device outputs data on
the falling edge of the SCK signal starting with the most
significant nibble, see Table 5-6 for definitions of each
bit in the Block-Protection register. The RBPR command does not wrap around. After all data has been
output, the device will output 0H until terminated by a
low-to-high transition on CE#. Figures 5-36 and 5-37.
The Read Block-Protection Register instruction outputs
the Block-Protection register data which determines
the protection status. To execute a Read Block-Protection Register operation, the host drives CE# low, and
then sends the Read Block-Protection Register command cycle (72H). A dummy cycle is required in SQI
mode.

Deep Power-Down
Enter Deep Power-down mode by initiating the Deep
Power-down (DPD) instruction (B9H) while driving CE#
low. CE# must be driven high before executing the
DPD instruction. After CE# is driven high, it requires a
delay of TDPD before the standby current ISB is reduced
to deep power-down current IDPD. See Table 5-8 for
Deep Power-down timing. If the device is busy performing an internal erase or program operation, initiating a
Deep Power-down instruction will not placed the device
in Deep Power-down mode. See Figures 5-46 and 5-47
for the DPD instruction sequence.
The Deep Power-down (DPD) instruction puts the
device in the lowest power consumption mode–the
Deep Power-down mode. The Deep Power-down
instruction is ignored during an internal write operation.
While the device is in Deep Power-down mode, all
instructions will be ignored except for the Release
Deep Power-down instruction.

Release from Deep Power-Down
and Read ID
To execute RDPD and read the Device ID, the host
drives CE# low then sends the Deep Power-Down
command cycle (ABH), three dummy clock cycles, and
then drives CE# high. The device outputs the Device ID
on the falling edge of the SCK signal following the
dummy cycles. The data output stream is continuous
until terminated by a low-to-high transition on CE, and
will return to Standby mode and be ready for the next
instruction after TSBR. See Figures 5-48 and 5-49 for
the command sequence.
Release from Deep Power-Down (RDPD) and Read ID
instruction exits Deep Power-down mode. To exit Deep
Power down mode, execute the RDPD. During this
command, the host drives CE# low, then sends the
Deep Power-Down command cycle (ABH), and then
drives CE# high. The device will return to Standby
mode and be ready for the next instruction after TSBR.
