The Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction is used to program the BP2, P1, BP0 bits as long as WP is high or the Block-Protection-Look (BPL) bit is 0. Chip-Erase can only be executed if Block-Protection bits are all 0. After power-up, BP2, BP1 and BP0 are set to1. Block Protection Lock-Down (BPL) WP pin driven low (VIL), enables the Block-Protection -Lock-Down (BPL) bit. When BPL is set to 1, it prevents any further alteration of the BPL, 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. Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc.

Publication Date: Jul. 2008 Revision: 1.6 6/32 ESMT Hold Operation 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 HOLD signal does not F25L008A 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 1 for Hold Condition waveform. 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. See Figure 14 for Hold timing. S CK HO L D A ctive Ho ld A ctive Ho ld A ctive Figure 1 : HOLD CONDITION WAVEFORM Write Protection F25L008A provides software Write protection. The Write Protect pin ( WP ) enables or disables the lockdown 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. TABLE3: CONDITIONS TO EXECUTE WRITE-STATUS- REGISTER (WRSR) INSTRUCTION WP BPL 1 0 X Execute WRSR Instruction Not Allowed Allowed Allowed L L 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. H Elite Semiconductor Memory Technology Inc. Publication Date: Jul. 2008 Revision: 1.6 7/32 ESMT 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 Program operation, F25L008A the status register may be read only to determine the completion of an operation in progress. Table 4 describes the function of each bit in the software status register.

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.

The instruction bus cycles are 8 bits each for commands (Op Code), data, and addresses. Prior to executing any Byte-Program, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, or Chip-Erase instructions, the Write-Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed first. The complete list of the instructions is provided in Table 5. All instructions are synchronized off a high to low transition of CE . Inputs will be accepted on the rising edge of SCK starting with the most significant bit. CE must be driven F25L008A 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.

The Write-Enable (WREN) instruction and the Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction must work in conjunction of each other. The WRSR instruction must be executed immediately (very next bus cycle) after the WREN instruction to make both instructions effective. Both EWSR and WREN can enable WRSR, user just need to execute one of it. A successful WRSR can reset WREN. Read (33 MHz) The Read instruction supports up to 33 MHz, it 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, i.e. for 8Mbit density, once the data from address location FFFFFH had been read, the next output will be from address location 00000H. The Read instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command, 03H, followed by address bits [A23-A0]. CE must remain active low for the duration of the Read cycle.

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. The Byte-Program F25L008A instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command, 02H, followed by address bits [A23-A0]. 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 Byte-Program operation. See Figure 4 for the Byte-Program sequence.

Publication Date: Jul. 2008 Revision: 1.6 12/32 ESMT Auto Address Increment (AAI) WORD Program F25L008A 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 the multiple bytes or entire memory array is to be programmed. An AAI 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 program instruction. While within AAI WORD programming sequence, the only valid instructions are AAI WORD program operation, RDSR, WRDI. Users have three options to determine the completion of each AAI WORD program cycle: hardware detection by reading the SO; software detection by polling the BUSY in the software status register or wait TBP. Refer to End-of-Write Detection section for details. Prior to any write operation, the Write-Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed. The AAI WORD program instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command, ADH, followed by address bits [A23-A0]. Following the addresses, two bytes of data is input sequentially. The data is input sequentially from MSB (bit 7) to LSB (bit 0). The first byte of data(DO) will be programmed into the initial address [A23-A1] with A0 =0; The second byte of data(D1) will be programmed into the initial address [A23-A1] with A0 =1. CE must be driven high before the AAI WORD program instruction is executed. The user must check the BUSY status before entering the next valid command. Once the device indicates it is no longer busy, data for next two sequential addresses may be programmed and so on. When the last desired byte had been entered, check the busy status using the hardware method or the RDSR instruction and execute the WRDI instruction, to terminate AAI. User must check busy status after WRDI to determine if the device is ready for any command. Please refer to Figures 9 and Figures 10. There is no wrap mode during AAI programming; once the highest unprotected memory address is reached, the device will exit AAI operation and reset the Write-Enable-Latch bit (WEL = 0) and the AAI bit (AAI=0). End of Write Detection There are three methods to determine completion of a program cycle during AAI WORD programming: hardware detection by reading the SO, 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. Hardware End of Write Detection 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 8bit command, 70H, configures the SO to indicate Flash Busy status during AAI WORD programming (refer to figure7). The 8bit command, 70H, must be executed prior to executing an AAI WORD program instruction. Once an internal programming operation begins, asserting CE will immediately drive the status of the internal flash status on the SO pin. A “0” Indicates the device is busy ; a “1” Indicates the device is ready for the next instruction. De-asserting CE will return the SO pin to tri-state. The 8bit command, 80H,disables the SO pin to output busy status during AAI WORD program operation and return SO pin to output software register data during AAI WORD programming (refer to figure8).

A Block-Erase 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 any command sequence. The Block-Erase instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command, D8H, followed by address bits F25L008A [A23-A0]. Address bits [AMS-A16] (AMS = Most Significant address) are used to determine the block address (BAX), remaining address bits can be VIL or VIH. CE must be driven high before the instruction is executed. The user may poll the Busy bit in the software status register or wait TBE for the completion of the internal self-timed Block-Erase cycle.

The Enable-Write-Status-Register instruction does not have any effect and will be wasted, if it is not followed immediately by the Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction. CE must be driven low before the EWSR instruction is entered and must be driven high before the EWSR instruction is executed. F25L008A Write-Status-Register (WRSR) The Write-Status-Register instruction writes new values to the 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 11 for EWSR or WREN and WRSR instruction sequences. Executing 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”. When WP is high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled and the BPL, BP0, BP1,and BP2 bits in the status register can all be 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 3 for a summary description of WP and BPL functions.
