GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IS25LQ020A are Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memories, providing single-, dual or quad-output.
The devices are designed to support a 33 MHz fclock rate in normal read mode, and 80 MHz in fast read, the
fastest in the industry. The devices use a single low voltage power supply, ranging from 2.3 Volt to 3.6 Volt, to
perform read, erase and program operations. The devices can be programmed in standard EPROM
programmers.
The IS25LQ020A are accessed through a 4-wire SPI Interface consisting of Serial Data Input/Output (SlO),
Serial Data Output (SO), Serial Clock (SCK), and Chip Enable (CE#) pins. The devices support page program
mode, where 1 to 256 bytes data can be programmed into the memory in one program operation. These
devices are divided into uniform 4 KByte sectors or 64 KByte Blocks in the IS25LQ020A.
The IS25LQ020A are manufactured on ISSI™’s advanced non-volatile technology. The devices are offered in 8pin SOIC/VVSOP 150mil & 8-pin TSSOP.

SPI MODES DESCRIPTION
Multiple IS25LQ020A devices can be connected on the
SPI serial bus and controlled by a SPI Master, i.e.
microcontroller, as shown in Figure 1. The devices
support either of two SPI modes:
Mode 0 (0, 0)
Mode 3 (1, 1)
The difference between these two modes is the clock
polarity when the SPI master is in Stand-by mode: the
serial clock remains at “0” (SCK = 0) for Mode 0 and
the clock remains at “1” (SCK = 1) for Mode 3. Please
refer to Figure 2. For both modes, the input data is
latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCK), and
the output data is available from the falling edge of
SCK.

REGISTERS
STATUS REGISTER
Refer to Tables 5 and 6 for Status Register Format and BP2, BP1, BP0 bits: The Block Protection (BP2, BP1
Status Register Bit Definitions.
and BP0) bits are used to define the portion of the
memory area to be protected. Refer to Tables 7, 8 and
The BP0, BP1, BP2 and SRWD are non-volatile

memory cells that can be written by a Write Status
defined combination of BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits are set,
Register (WRSR) instruction. The default value of the
the corresponding memory area is protected. Any
BP2, BP1, BP0, and SRWD bits were set to “0” at
program or erase operation to that area will be
factory. The Status Register can be read by the Read
inhibited. Note: a Chip Erase (CHIP_ER) instruction is
Status Register (RDSR). Refer to Table 10 for
executed only if all the Block Protection Bits are set as
Instruction Set.
“0”s.
The function of Status Register bits are described as
follows:
WIP bit: The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is read-only,
and can be used to detect the progress or completion
of a program or erase operation. When the WIP bit is
“0”, the device is ready for a write status register,
program or erase operation. When the WIP bit is “1”,
the device is busy.
WEL bit: The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates
the status of the internal write enable latch. When the
WEL is “0”, the write enable latch is disabled, and all
write operations, including write status register, page
program, sector erase, block and chip erase operations
are inhibited. When the WEL bit is “1”, write operations
are allowed. The WEL bit is set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction. Each write register, program and
erase instruction must be preceded by a WREN
instruction. The WEL bit can be reset by a Write
Disable (WRDI) instruction. It will automatically be the
reset after the completion of a write instruction.
SRWD bit: The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bits operates in conjunction with the Write Protection
(WP#) signal to provide a Hardware Protection Mode.
When the SRWD is set to “0”, the Status Register is
not write-protected. When the SRWD is set to “1” and
the WP# is pulled low (VIL), the bits of Status Register
(SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0) become read-only, and a
WRSR instruction will be ignored. If the SRWD is set to
“1” and WP# is pulled high (VIH), the Status Register
can be changed by a WRSR instruction.
QE bit: The Quad Enable (QE) is a non-volatile bit in
the status register that allows Quad operation. When
the QE bit is set to “0”,the pin WP# and HOLD# are
enable. When the QE bit is set to “1”, the pin IO2 and
IO3 are enable.
WARNING: The QE bit should never be set to a 1
during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation if the
WP# or HOLD# pins are tied directly to the power
supply or ground.

PROTECTION MODE
The IS25LQ020A have two types of write-protection
mechanisms: hardware and software. These are
used to prevent irrelevant operation in a possibly
noisy environment and protect the data integrity.
HARDWARE WRITE-PROTECTION
The devices provide two hardware write-protection
features:
a. When inputting a program, erase or write status
register instruction, the number of clock pulse is
checked to determine whether it is a multiple of
eight before the executing. Any incomplete
instruction command sequence will be ignored.
b. Write inhibit is 2.0V, all write sequence will be
ignored when Vcc drop to 2.0V and lower.
c. The Write Protection (WP#) pin provides a
hardware write protection method for BP3, BP2,
BP1, BP0 and SRWD in the Status Register. Refer
to the STATUS REGISTER description.
The IS25LQ020A also provides two software write
protection features:
a. Before the execution of any program, erase or
write status register instruction, the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit must be enabled by executing a
Write Enable (WREN) instruction. If the WEL bit is
not enabled first, the program, erase or write
register instruction will be ignored.
b. The Block Protection (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits allow
part or the whole memory area to be writeprotected.

DEVICE OPERATION
The IS25LQ020A utilize an 8-bit instruction register.
Refer to Table 11 Instruction Set for details of the
Instructions and Instruction Codes. All instructions,
addresses, and data are shifted in with the most
significant bit (MSB) first on Serial Data Input (SI). The
input data on SI is latched on the rising edge of Serial
Clock (SCK) after Chip Enable (CE#) is driven low
(VIL). Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte

instruction code and is followed by address bytes, data
bytes, or both address bytes and data bytes,
depending on the type of instruction. CE# must be
driven high (VIH) after the last bit of the instruction
sequence has been shifted in.
The timing for each instruction is illustrated in the
following operational descriptions.

HOLD OPERATION
HOLD# is used in conjunction with CE# to select
the IS25LQ020A. When the devices are selected
and a serial sequence is underway, HOLD# can be
used to pause the serial communication with the
master device without resetting the serial sequence.
Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc.- www.issi.com
Rev. A1
1/22/2014
To pause, HOLD# is brought low while the SCK
signal is low. To resume serial communication,
HOLD# is brought high while the SCK signal is low
(SCK may still toggle during HOLD). Inputs to Sl will
be ignored while SO is in the high impedance state.

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
RDID (READ PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION) / RDES
(RELEASE FROM DEEP POWER DOWN)
COMMAND
The Read Product Identification (RDID) instruction is
for reading out an 8-bit Electronic Signature whose
values are shown in Table 12: Product Identification.
The output of RDID is not the same as the newer
JEDEC ID instruction. RDID is not recommended for
new designs. For new designs please use the JEDEC
ID instruction.
The RDID/RDES instruction code is followed by three
dummy bytes, each bit being latched-in on SI during
the rising edge of SCK. Then the Device ID is shifted
out on SO with the MSB first, each bit been shifted out
during the falling edge of SCK. The RDID/RDES
instruction is ended by CE# goes high. The Device ID
outputs repeatedly if clock cycles continue on SCK
while CE# is held low.
To release the device from the RDID/RDES instruction,
drive CE# high as shown in figure 3.
Before the device can resume normal operations and
other instructions are accepted, the time tRES1 must
first pass. The CE# pin must remain high during the
tRES1 time duration. If the RDID/RDES instruction is
issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
process (when BUSY equals 1) the instruction is
ignored and will not have any effects on the current
cycle.

followed by two dummy bytes and one byte address
(A7~A0), each bit being latched-in on SI during the
rising edge of SCK. If one byte address is initially set to
A0 = 0, then the first manufacturer ID (9Dh) is shifted
out on SO with the MSB first, the device ID1 and the
second manufacturer ID (7Fh), each bit shifted out
during the falling edge of SCK. If one byte address is
initially set to A0 = 1, then device ID1 will be read first,
followed by the first manufacture ID (9Dh), and then
second manufacture ID (7Fh). The manufacture and
device ID1 can be read continuously, alternating from
one to the others. The instruction is completed by
driving CE# high.

WRITE ENABLE OPERATION
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is used to set the
Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The WEL bit of the
IS25Q020A is reset to the write –protected state after
power-up. The WEL bit must be write enabled before
any write operation, including sector, block erase, chip
erase, page program, and write status register. The
WEL bit will be reset to the write-protect state
automatically upon completion of a write operation.
The WREN instruction is required before any above
operation is executed.
Figure 6. Write Enable Sequence
WRDI COMMAND (WRITE DISABLE) OPERATION
The Write Disable (WRDI) instruction resets the WEL
bit and disables all write instructions. The WRDI
instruction is not required after the execution of a write

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
READ COMMAND (READ DATA) OPERATION
The Read Data (READ) instruction is used to read
memory data of a IS25LQ020A under normal mode
running up to 33 MHz.
The READ instruction code is transmitted via the Sl
line, followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) of the
first memory location to be read. A total of 24 address
bits are shifted in, but only AMS (most significant
address) - A0 are decoded. The remaining bits (A23 –
AMS) are ignored. The first byte addressed can be at
any memory location. Upon completion, any data on
the Sl will be ignored. Refer to Table 13 for the related
Address Key.
out on the SO line, MSB first. A single byte of data, or
up to the whole memory array, can be read out in one
READ instruction. The address is automatically
incremented after each byte of data is shifted out. The
read operation can be terminated at any time by driving
CE# high (VIH) after the data comes out. When the
highest address of the devices is reached, the address
counter will roll over to the 000000h address, allowing
the entire memory to be read in one continuous READ
instruction.
If a Read Data instruction is issued while an Erase,
Program or Write cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the
instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the
current cycle

PAGE_PROG COMMAND (PAGE PROGRAM) OPERATION
The Page Program (PAGE_PROG) instruction allows
up to 256 bytes data to be programmed into memory in
a single operation. The destination of the memory to be
programmed must be outside the protected memory
area set by the Block Protection (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0)
bits. A PAGE_PROG instruction which attempts to
program into a page that is write-protected will be
ignored. Before the execution of PAGE_PROG
instruction, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) must be
enabled through a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
The PAGE_PROG instruction code, three address
bytes and program data (1 to 256 bytes) are input via
the Sl line. Program operation will start immediately
after the CE# is brought high, otherwise the
PAGE_PROG instruction will not be executed. The
internal control logic automatically handles the
programming voltages and timing. During a program
operation, all instructions will be ignored except the
RDSR instruction. The progress or completion of the
program operation can be determined by reading the
WIP bit in Status Register via a RDSR instruction. If
the WIP bit is “1”, the program operation is still in
progress. If WIP bit is “0”, the program operation has
completed.
If more than 256 bytes data are sent to a device, the
address counter rolls over within the same page, the
previously latched data are discarded, and the last 256
bytes data are kept to be programmed into the page.
The starting byte can be anywhere within the page.
When the end of the page is reached, the address will
wrap around to the beginning of the same page. If the
data to be programmed are less than a full page, the
data of all other bytes on the same page will remain
unchanged.
Note: A program operation can alter “1”s into “0”s, but
an erase operation is required to change “0”s back to
“1”s. A byte cannot be reprogrammed without first
erasing the whole sector or block.

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
ERASE OPERATION
The memory array of the IS25LQ020A is organized
into uniform 4 KByte sectors or 32 KByte uniform
blocks (64KByte Blocks for the 2Mb).
Before a byte can be reprogrammed, the sector or
block that contains the byte must be erased (erasing
sets bits to “1”). In order to erase the devices, there are
three erase instructions available: Sector Erase
(SECTOR_ER), Block Erase (BLOCK_ER) and Chip
Erase (CHIP_ER). A sector erase operation allows any
individual sector to be erased without affecting the data
in other sectors. A block erase operation erases any
individual block. A chip erase operation erases the
whole memory array of a device. A sector erase, block
erase or chip erase operation can be executed prior to
any programming operation.
SECTOR_ER COMMAND (SECTOR ERASE)
OPERATION
operation can be determined by reading the WIP bit in
the Status Register using a RDSR instruction. If the
WIP bit is “1”, the erase operation is still in progress. If
the WIP bit is “0”, the erase operation has been
completed.
BLOCK_ER COMMAND (BLOCK ERASE)
OPERATION
A Block Erase (BLOCK_ER) instruction erases a single
block of the IS25LQ020A. Before the execution of a
BLOCK_ER instruction, the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
must be set via a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
The WEL is reset automatically after the completion of
a block erase operation.
The BLOCK_ER instruction code and three address
bytes are input via SI. Erase operation will start
immediately after the CE# is pulled high, otherwise the
BLOCK_ER instruction will not be executed. The
internal control logic automatically handles the erase
voltage and timing. Refer to Figure 23 for Block Erase

Program Security information Row instruction (PSIR)
The PSIR instructions can read and programmed (Erase) using three dedicated instructions. The program
information Raw instruction is used to program at most 65 bytes to the security memory area (by changing bits
from ‘1’ to ‘0’, only). Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been
executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write enable latch
(WEL) bit. The program information Row instruction is entered by driving CE# pin Low, followed by the
instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on serial data input (SI). CE# pin must be
driven High after the eighth bits of the last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the Program information
Row instruction is not executed. If more than 64 bytes data are sent to a device, the address counter can not roll
over.
After CE# pin is driven High, the self-timed page program cycle (whose duration is tpotp) is initiated. While the
program OTP cycle is in progress, the status register may be read to check the value of the write in progress
(WIP) bit. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed program cycle, and it is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset.

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
To lock the OTP memory:
Bit 0 of the OTP control byte, that is byte 64, is used to permanently lock the OTP memory array.
When bit 0 of byte 65 = ’1’, the 64 bytes of the OTP memory array can be programmed.
When bit 0 of byte 65 = ‘0’, the 64 bytes of the OTP memory array are read-only and
cannot be programmed anymore.
Once a bit of the OTP memory has been programmed to ‘0’, it can no longer be set to ‘1’.
Therefore, as soon as bit 0 of byte 64 (control byte) is set to ‘0’, the 64 bytes of the OTP
memory array become read-only in a permanent way.
Any program OTP (POTP) instruction issued while an erase, program or write cycle is in
progress is rejected without having any effect on the cycle that is in progress

DEVICE OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Read Security Information Row (RSIR)
The RSIR instruction read the security information Row. There is no rollover mechanism with the read OTP
(ROTP) instruction. This means that the read OTP (ROTP) instruction must be sent with a maximum of 65 bytes
to read, since once the 65th byte has been read, the same (65th) byte keeps being read on the SO pin.

POWER-UP AND POWER-DOWN
At Power-up and Power-down, the device must not be
selected (CE# must follow the voltage applied on Vcc)
until Vcc reaches the correct value:
- Vcc(min) at Power-up, and then for a further delay of
tVCE
- Vss at Power-down
Usually a simple pull-up resistor on CE# can be used
to insure safe and proper Power-up and Power-down.
To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write
operations during power up, a Power On Reset (POR)
circuit is included. The logic inside the device is held
reset while Vcc is less than the POR threshold value
(Vwi) during power up, the device does not respond to
any instruction until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed
after the moment that Vcc rised above the VWI
threshold. However, the correct operation of the device
is not guaranteed if, by this time, Vcc is still below
Vcc(min). No Write Status Register, Program or Erase
instructions should be sent until the later of:
- tPUW after Vcc passed the VWI threshold
- tVCE after Vcc passed the Vcc(min) level
At Power-up, the device is in the following state:
- The device is in the Standby mode
- The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset
At Power-down, when Vcc drops from the operating
voltage, to below the Vwi, all write operations are
disabled and the device does not respond to any write
instruction.

Read Safe Guard register
The READ Safe Guard instruction code is transmitted via the SlO line, followed by three address bytes (A23 - A0) of
the first register location to be read. The first byte data (D7 - D0) addressed is then shifted out on the SO line, MSb
first. The address is automatically incremented after each byte of data is shifted out. The read operation can be
terminated at any time by driving CE# high (VIH) after the data comes out.

SEC_UNLOCK COMMAND OPERATION
The Sector unlock command allows the user to
select a specific sector to allow program and erase
operations. This instruction is effective when the
blocks are designated as write-protected through
the BP0, BP1 and BP2 bits in the status register.
Only one sector can be enabled at any time. To
enable a different sector, a previously enabled
sector must be disabled by executing a Sector Lock
command. The instruction code is followed by a
24-bit address specifying the target sector, but A0
through A11 are not decoded. The remaining
sectors within the same block remain in read-only
mode.
