Why Use MXSMIO Family?
Advantages of M acronix S erial Multi-I/O
(MXSMIOTM) Flash Family
Today more & more application require code execution & fast download functionality in their systems
design. The Macronix Serial MXSMIO Flash products are available in Dual & Quad I/O capability to meet
these system requirements. These products offer many advantages, such as:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Read performance comparable to Parallel Flash
Shorter system boot-up time
Layout simplification
Less cross-talk wires
Lower power consumption
Reduced pin-count ( Controller or ASIC chip)
Reduce RAM buffer size for code execution (direct access from Serial Flash)
Lower system BOM cost
Applications Using Multi I/O Serial Flash
MXSMIO Flash Family, ranging from 16Mb~128Mb, are already supported by leading chipset
companies for a variety of applications including:
Optical Disk Drive
Digital TV
DVD Player
Wireless LAN
Printer
Camera module
Keyboard Controller

Hardware Considerations
Both Dual and Quad I/O Serial Flash from Macronix maintain backward compatibility - occupying exactly the same footprint used by
conventional Single I/O Flash in 8-pin SOP packages. In other words, there is no need to modify the PCB or change the socket.

Software Considerations
The device identification should be properly specified to distinguish the traditional Single I/O Serial Flash from the new Multi-I/O ones. The
500
following chart shows the command sets for customers using these devices in their systems. The recommended flow is to do READ ID check
first : then to do DTR Quad I/O ID check, to Quad I/O ID check, and then Dual I/O ID and at last to do Single I/O ID check. If the IDs are all
400
correct, it means that the device will support the abovementioned functions.

Quad I/O with Double Transfer Rate Serial Flash has
- Quad I/O
> Four I/O signals instead of one I/O signal
- Double Transfer Rate(DTR)
> Signals triggered on both rising and falling edge of clock
Faster transfer of data from Serial Flash to DRAM or other chips
No changes to hardware-command code based operation
Backward compatible to Single/Dual/Quad I/O
Wide voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V
Temperature range of -40̊C to + 85̊C
Fastest clock speed in the industry for serial flash
-104MHz for fast read mode
-400MHz for Quad I/O DTR operations
8-pin/16-pin SOP (SOIC) and 8-pin WSON (thin) Packages
-16-pin SOP (SOIC) package support
-16-pin SOP and KGD options.
-8 pins for parallel mode programming to speed up production programming
Command
Multi I/O Serial Flash memories of the same density have the same device ID and are backward compatible to single I/O products.
Applications currently using Single I/O mode can migrate to Multi I/O in the future, since the device IDs are the same. The software will
need to be updated to address the Multi I/O commands.
8
Enhanced Performance
An added feature in the Multi-I/O DTR Serial Flash offers Enhanced Performance by saving 36 clock cycles compared to the Single I/O
Flash. This further upgrades performance of the device. This feature eliminates the need to repeat the 8 cycles used for commands when
successive operations are performed using the same command with random addresses. This feature advises the device that the current
command is to be repeated during the next operation. If this current operation is a Multi-I/O read command, the Flash will be kept in
the Multi-I/O Read Mode and the next read operation can be initiated by simply supplying a new address and the required number of
dummy cycles.

Quad I/O
The Macronix Multi-I/O Serial Flash doubles or even quadruples the data rate by changing the conventional Serial Input pin and Serial
Out pin from single unidirectional data flow into multiple bi-directional data flows. The Dual I/O version uses SI and SO pins for both
serial input and output, while the Quad I/O version uses SI and SO pins along with Write Protect pin and NC pin for both data input and
output Functions. This doubling or quadrupling of data rate allows Serial Flash to compete with Parallel Flash for data read performance.
