2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MX25U51245G is 512Mb bits Serial NOR Flash memory with 4-bytes address interface, which is configured
as 67,108,864 x 8 internally. When it is in two or four I/O mode, the structure becomes 268,435,456 bits x 2 or
134,217,728 bits x 4. MX25U51245G feature a serial peripheral interface and software protocol allowing operation
on a simple 3-wire bus while it is in single I/O mode. The three bus signals are a clock input (SCLK), a serial data
input (SI), and a serial data output (SO). Serial access to the device is enabled by CS# input.
When it is in two I/O read mode, the SI pin and SO pin become SIO0 pin and SIO1 pin for address/dummy bits
input and data output. When it is in four I/O read mode, the SI pin and SO pin become SIO0 pin and SIO1 pin for
address/dummy bits input and data output.
The MX25U51245G MXSMIO (Serial Multi I/O) provides sequential read operation on whole chip.
After program/erase command is issued, auto program/erase algorithms which program/erase and verify the
specified page or sector/block locations will be executed. Program command is executed on byte basis, or page (256
bytes) basis, or word basis for erase command is executed on sector (4K-byte), block (32K-byte), or block (64K-byte),
or whole chip basis.
To provide user with ease of interface, a status register is included to indicate the status of the chip. The status read
command can be issued to detect completion status of a program or erase operation via WIP bit.
Advanced security features enhance the protection and security functions, please see security features section for
more details.
When the device is not in operation and CS# is high, it is put in standby mode.
The MX25U51245G utilizes Macronix's proprietary memory cell, which reliably stores memory contents even after
100,000 program and erase cycles.

6. DATA PROTECTION
During power transition, there may be some false system level signals which result in inadvertent erasure or
programming. The device is designed to protect itself from these accidental write cycles.
The state machine will be reset as standby mode automatically during power up. In addition, the control register
architecture of the device constrains that the memory contents can only be changed after specific command
sequences have completed successfully.
In the following, there are several features to protect the system from the accidental write cycles during VCC powerup and power-down or from system noise.
• Valid command length checking: The command length will be checked whether it is at byte base and completed
on byte boundary.
• Write Enable (WREN) command: WREN command is required to set the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL) before
other command to change data.
• Deep Power Down Mode: By entering deep power down mode, the flash device also is under protected from
writing all commands except Release from deep power down mode command (RDP) and Read Electronic
Signature command (RES), Erase/Program suspend command, Erase/Program resume command and softreset
command.
• Advanced Security Features: there are some protection and security features which protect content from
inadvertent write and hostile access.

6-2. Additional 8K-bit secured OTP
The secured OTP for unique identifier: to provide 8K-bit one-time program area for setting device unique serial
number. Which may be set by factory or system customer.
- Security register bit 0 indicates whether the chip is locked by factory or not.
- To program the 8K-bit secured OTP by entering secured OTP mode (with Enter Security OTP command), and
going through normal program procedure, and then exiting secured OTP mode by writing Exit Security OTP
command.
- Customer may lock-down the customer lockable secured OTP by writing WRSCUR(write security register)
command to set customer lock-down bit1 as "1". Please refer to "Table 9. Security Register Definition" for
security register bit definition and "Table 4. 8K-bit Secured OTP Definition" for address range definition.
- Note: Once lock-down by factory or customer, the corresponding range cannot be changed any more. While in
secured OTP mode, array access is not allowed.

2. When incorrect command is inputted to this device, this device becomes standby mode and keeps the standby
mode until next CS# falling edge. In standby mode, SO pin of this device should be High-Z.
3. When correct command is inputted to this device, this device becomes active mode and keeps the active mode
until next CS# rising edge.
4. Input data is latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCLK) and data shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK.
The difference of Serial mode 0 and mode 3 is shown as "Serial Modes Supported".
5. For the following instructions: RDID, RDSR, RDSCUR, READ, FAST_READ, 2READ, DREAD, 4READ, QREAD,
RDSFDP, RES, REMS, QPIID, RDDPB, RDSPB, RDLR, RDFBR, RDCR, the shifted-in instruction sequence is
followed by a data-out sequence. After any bit of data being shifted out, the CS# can be high. For the following
instructions: WREN, WRDI, WRSR, SE, BE32K, BE, CE, PP, 4PP, DP, ENSO, EXSO, WRSCUR, WPSEL,
GBLK, GBULK, SUSPEND, RESUME, NOP, RSTEN, RST, EQIO, RSTQIO the CS# must go high exactly at the
byte boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
6. During the progress of Write Status Register, Program, Erase operation, to access the memory array is
neglected and not affect the current operation of Write Status Register, Program, Erase.

7-1. 256Mb Address Protocol
The original 24 bit address protocol of Serial NOR Flash can only access density size below 128Mb. For the
memory device of 256Mb and above, the 32bit address is requested for access higher memory size. MX25U51245G
device provide whole new 4-Byte address protocol, for backward compatible to the legacy commands. All the
command request for 4-Byte (32 bit) address cycle in this device.
7-2. Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) Read Mode
QPI protocol enables user to take full advantage of Quad I/O Serial NOR Flash by providing the Quad I/O interface
in command cycles, address cycles and as well as data output cycles.
Enable QPI mode
By issuing command EQIO(35h), the QPI mode is enabled. After QPI mode is enabled, the device enters quad
mode (4-4-4) without QE bit status changed.

Reset QPI (RSTQIO)
To reset the QPI mode, the RSTQIO (F5H) command is required. After the RSTQIO command is issued, the device
returns from QPI mode (4 I/O interface in command cycles) to SPI mode (1 I/O interface in command cycles).
Note:
For EQIO and RSTQIO commands, CS# high width has to follow "write spec" tSHSL for next instruction.

9. REGISTER DESCRIPTION
9-1. Status Register
The definition of the status register bits is as below:
WIP bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit, a volatile bit, indicates whether the device is busy in program/erase/write
status register progress. When WIP bit sets to 1, which means the device is busy in program/erase/write status
register progress. When WIP bit sets to 0, which means the device is not in progress of program/erase/write status
register cycle.
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is a volatile bit that is set to “1” by the WREN instruction. WEL needs to be
set to “1” before the device can accept program and erase instructions, otherwise the program and erase instructions
are ignored. WEL automatically clears to “0” when a program or erase operation completes. To ensure that both WIP
and WEL are “0” and the device is ready for the next program or erase operation, it is recommended that WIP be
confirmed to be “0” before checking that WEL is also “0”. If a program or erase instruction is applied to a protected
memory area, the instruction will be ignored and WEL will clear to “0”.
BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, non-volatile bits, indicate the protected area
(as defined in Table 3) of the device to against the program/erase instruction without hardware protection mode being
set. To write the Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to
be executed. Those bits define the protected area of the memory to against Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE),
Block Erase 32KB (BE32K), Block Erase (BE) and Chip Erase (CE) instructions (only if Block Protect bits (BP3:BP0)
set to 0, the CE instruction can be executed). The BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits are "0" as default. Which is un-protected.
QE bit. The Quad Enable (QE) bit, a non-volatile bit which is permanently set to "1". The flash always performs
Quad I/O mode.

9-2. Configuration Register
The Configuration Register is able to change the default status of Flash memory. Flash memory will be configured
after the CR bit is set.
ODS bit
The output driver strength (ODS2, ODS1, ODS0) bits are volatile bits, which indicate the output driver level (as
defined in Output Driver Strength Table) of the device. To write the ODS bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR)
instruction to be executed.
TB bit
The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is a non-volatile OTP bit. The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is used to configure the Block Protect
area by BP bit (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0), starting from TOP or Bottom of the memory array. The TB bit is defaulted as
“0”, which means Top area protect. When it is set as “1”, the protect area will change to Bottom area of the memory
device. To write the TB bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to be executed.
PBE bit
The Preamble Bit Enable (PBE) bit is a volatile bit. It is used to enable or disable the preamble bit data pattern
output on dummy cycles. The PBE bit is defaulted as “0”, which means preamble bit is disabled. When it is set as “1”,
the preamble bit will be enabled, and inputted into dummy cycles. To write the PBE bits requires the Write Status
Register (WRSR) instruction to be executed.

9-3. Security Register
The definition of the Security Register bits is as below:
Write Protection Selection bit. Please reference to "Write Protection Selection bit"
Erase Fail bit. The Erase Fail bit shows the status of last Erase operation. The bit will be set to "1" if the erase
operation failed or the erase region was protected. It will be automatically cleared to "0" if the next erase operation
succeeds. Please note that it will not interrupt or stop any operation in the flash memory.
Program Fail bit. The Program Fail bit shows the status of the last Program operation. The bit will be set to "1" if
the program operation failed or the program region was protected. It will be automatically cleared to "0" if the next
program operation succeeds. Please note that it will not interrupt or stop any operation in the flash memory.
Erase Suspend bit. Erase Suspend Bit (ESB) indicates the status of Erase Suspend operation. Users may use
ESB to identify the state of flash memory. After the flash memory is suspended by Erase Suspend command, ESB
is set to "1". ESB is cleared to "0" after erase operation resumes.
Program Suspend bit. Program Suspend Bit (PSB) indicates the status of Program Suspend operation. Users may
use PSB to identify the state of flash memory. After the flash memory is suspended by Program Suspend command,
PSB is set to "1". PSB is cleared to "0" after program operation resumes.
Secured OTP Indicator bit. The Secured OTP indicator bit shows the secured OTP area is locked by factory or
not. When it is "0", it indicates non-factory lock; "1" indicates factory-lock.
Lock-down Secured OTP (LDSO) bit. By writing WRSCUR instruction, the LDSO bit may be set to "1" for
customer lock-down purpose. However, once the bit is set to "1" (lock-down), the LDSO bit and the Secured OTP
area cannot be updated any more. While it is in secured OTP mode, main array access is not allowed.

10. COMMAND DESCRIPTION
10-1. Write Enable (WREN)
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is for setting Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. For those instructions like PP, 4PP,
SE, BE32K, BE, CE, and WRSR, which are intended to change the device content WEL bit should be set every time
after the WREN instruction setting the WEL bit.
The sequence of issuing WREN instruction is: CS# goes low→sending WREN instruction code→ CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care in
SPI mode.

10-3. Read Identification (RDID)
The RDID instruction is for reading the manufacturer ID of 1-byte and followed by Device ID of 2-byte. The Macronix
Manufacturer ID and Device ID are listed as "Table 10. ID Definitions".
The sequence of issuing RDID instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending RDID instruction code→24-bits ID data out
on SO→ to end RDID operation can drive CS# to high at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase operation is in progress, it will not decode the RDID instruction, therefore there's no effect on
the cycle of program/erase operation which is currently in progress. When CS# goes high, the device is at standby
stage.

10-4. Release from Deep Power-down (RDP), Read Electronic Signature (RES)
The Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction is completed by driving Chip Select (CS#) High. When Chip
Select (CS#) is driven High, the device is put in the Stand-by Power mode. If the device was not previously in the
Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in
the Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is delayed by tRES1, and Chip
Select (CS#) must remain High for at least tRES1(max), as specified in "Table 18. AC CHARACTERISTICS".
Once in the Stand-by Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute
instructions. The RDP instruction is only for releasing from Deep Power Down Mode. Reset# pin goes low will
release the Flash from deep power down mode.
RES instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as Table 10 ID
Definitions. This is not the same as RDID instruction. It is not recommended to use for new design. For new design,
please use RDID instruction.
Even in Deep power-down mode, the RDP and RES are also allowed to be executed, only except the device is in
progress of program/erase/write cycle; there's no effect on the current program/erase/write cycle in progress.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
The RES instruction is ended by CS# goes high after the ID been read out at least once. The ID outputs repeatedly
if continuously send the additional clock cycles on SCLK while CS# is at low. If the device was not previously in
Deep Power-down mode, the device transition to standby mode is immediate. If the device was previously in Deep
Power-down mode, there's a delay of tRES2 to transit to standby mode, and CS# must remain to high at least
tRES2(max). Once in the standby mode, the device waits to be selected, so it can be receive, decode, and execute
instruction.

10-5. Read Electronic Manufacturer ID & Device ID (REMS)
The REMS instruction returns both the JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID and the device ID. The Device ID values
are listed in Table 10 of ID Definitions.
The REMS instruction is initiated by driving the CS# pin low and sending the instruction code "90h" followed by two
dummy bytes and one address byte (A7~A0). After which the manufacturer ID for Macronix (C2h) and the device
ID are shifted out on the falling edge of SCLK with the most significant bit (MSB) first. If the address byte is 00h,
the manufacturer ID will be output first, followed by the device ID. If the address byte is 01h, then the device ID will
be output first, followed by the manufacturer ID. While CS# is low, the manufacturer and device IDs can be read
continuously, alternating from one to the other. The instruction is completed by driving CS# high.

10-9. Write Status Register (WRSR)
The WRSR instruction is for changing the values of Status Register Bits and Configuration Register Bits. Before
sending WRSR instruction, the Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be decoded and executed to set the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit in advance. The WRSR instruction can change the value of Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits to define the protected area of memory (as shown in Table 3). The WRSR instruction cannot be executed
once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.
The sequence of issuing WRSR instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending WRSR instruction code→ Status Register
data on SI→CS# goes high.
The CS# must go high exactly at the 8 bits or 16 bits data boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and
not executed. The self-timed Write Status Register cycle time (tW) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes
high. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit still can be check out during the Write Status Register cycle is in progress.
The WIP sets 1 during the tW timing, and sets 0 when Write Status Register Cycle is completed, and the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.

10-10. Read Data Bytes (READ)
The read instruction is for reading data out. The address is latched on rising edge of SCLK, and data shifts out on
the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fR. The first address byte can be at any location. The address
is automatically increased to the next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can
be read out at a single READ instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been
reached.
The sequence of issuing READ instruction is: CS# goes low→sending READ instruction code→ 4-byte address on
SI→ data out on SO→to end READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.

The FAST_READ instruction is for quickly reading data out. The address is latched on rising edge of SCLK, and
data of each bit shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fC. The first address byte can be at
any location. The address is automatically increased to the next higher address after each byte data is shifted out,
so the whole memory can be read out at a single FAST_READ instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when
the highest address has been reached.

instruction code→ 4-byte address on SI→ 10 dummy cycles (default)→ data out on SO→ to end FAST_READ
operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, FAST_READ instruction is rejected without any
impact on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

The DREAD instruction enable double throughput of Serial NOR Flash in read mode. The address is latched on
rising edge of SCLK, and data of every two bits (interleave on 2 I/O pins) shift out on the falling edge of SCLK at a
maximum frequency fT. The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the
next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out at a single DREAD
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing DREAD
instruction, the following data out will perform as 2-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
The sequence of issuing DREAD instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending DREAD instruction→ 4-byte address on
SIO0→ 10 dummy cycles (default) on SIO0→ data out interleave on SIO1 & SIO0→ to end DREAD operation can
use CS# to high at any time during data out.

The QREAD instruction enable quad throughput of Serial NOR Flash in read mode. The address is latched on
rising edge of SCLK, and data of every four bits (interleave on 4 I/O pins) shift out on the falling edge of SCLK at a
maximum frequency fQ. The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the
next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out at a single QREAD
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing QREAD
instruction, the following data out will perform as 4-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
The sequence of issuing QREAD instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending QREAD instruction → 4-byte address on
SI → 10 dummy cycle (Default) → data out interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to end QREAD operation
can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, QREAD instruction is rejected without any impact
on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

10-16. 4 x I/O Double Transfer Rate Read Mode (4DTRD)
The 4DTRD instruction enables Double Transfer Rate throughput on quad I/O of Serial NOR Flash in read mode.
The address (interleave on 4 I/O pins) is latched on both rising and falling edge of SCLK, and data (interleave
on 4 I/O pins) shift out on both rising and falling edge of SCLK. The 8-bit address can be latched-in at one clock,
and 8-bit data can be read out at one clock, which means four bits at rising edge of clock, the other four bits at
falling edge of clock. The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the
next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out at a single 4DTRD
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing 4DTRD
instruction, the following address/dummy/data out will perform as 8-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, 4DTRD instruction is rejected without any impact
on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

10-17. Preamble Bit
The Preamble Bit data pattern supports system/memory controller to determine valid window of data output more
easily and improve data capture reliability while the flash memory is running in high frequency.
Preamble Bit data pattern can be enabled or disabled by setting the bit4 of Configuration register (Preamble bit
Enable bit). Once the CR is set, the preamble bit is inputted into dummy cycles.
Enabling preamble bit will not affect the function of enhance mode bit. In Dummy cycles, performance enhance
mode bit still operates with the same function. Preamble bit will output after performance enhance mode bit.
The preamble bit is a fixed 8-bit data pattern (00110100). While dummy cycle number reaches 10, the complete
8 bits will start to output right after the performance enhance mode bit. While dummy cycle is not sufficient of 10
cycles, the rest of the preamble bits will be cut. For example, 8 dummy cycles will cause 6 preamble bits to output,
and 6 dummy cycles will cause 4 preamble bits to output.

10-18. Performance Enhance Mode - XIP (execute-in-place)
The device could waive the command cycle bits if the two cycle bits after address cycle toggles.
Performance enhance mode is supported in both SPI and QPI mode.
In QPI mode, “EBh” "EDh" and SPI “EBh” "EDh" commands support enhance mode. The performance enhance
mode is not supported in dual I/O mode.
To enter performance-enhancing mode, P[7:4] must be toggling with P[3:0]; likewise P[7:0]=A5h, 5Ah, F0h or 0Fh
can make this mode continue and skip the next 4READ instruction. To leave enhance mode, P[7:4] is no longer
toggling with P[3:0]; likewise P[7:0]=FFh, 00h, AAh or 55h along with CS# is afterwards raised and then lowered.
Issuing ”FFh” data cycle can also exit enhance mode. The system then will leave performance enhance mode and
return to normal operation.
After entering enhance mode, following CS# go high, the device will stay in the read mode and treat CS# go low of
the first clock as address instead of command cycle.
Another sequence of issuing 4READ instruction especially useful in random access is : CS# goes low→sending 4
READ instruction→4-bytes address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0 →performance enhance toggling bit
P[7:0]→ 8 dummy cycles (Default) →data out still CS# goes high → CS# goes low (reduce 4 Read instruction) →
4-bytes random access address.

The wrap around unit is defined with the 8/16/32/64Byte, with random initial address. It is defined as “wrap-around
mode disable” for the default state of the device. To exit wrap around, it is required to issue another “C0h” command
in which data=‘1xh”. Otherwise, wrap around status will be retained until power down or reset command. To change
wrap around depth, it is requried to issue another “C0h” command in which data=“0xh”. Both QPI and SPI “EBh”
support wrap around feature after wrap around is enabled. Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle
can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care when during SPI mode.

10-20. Fast Boot
The Fast Boot Feature provides the ability to automatically execute read operation after power on cycle or reset
without any read instruction.
A Fast Boot Register is provided on this device. It can enable the Fast Boot function and also define the number of
delay cycles and start address (where boot code being transferred). Instruction WRFBR (write fast boot register) and
ESFBR (erase fast boot register) can be used for the status configuration or alternation of the Fast Boot Register
bit. RDFBR (read fast boot register) can be used to verify the program state of the Fast Boot Register. The default
number of delay cycles is 13 cycles, and there is a 16bytes boundary address for the start of boot code access.
When CS# starts to go low, data begins to output from default address after the delay cycles (default as 13 cycles).
After CS# returns to go high, the device will go back to standard SPI mode and user can start to input command. In
the fast boot data out process from CS# goes low to CS# goes high, a minimum of one byte must be output.
Once Fast Boot feature has been enabled, the device will automatically start a read operation after power on cycle,
reset command, or hardware reset operation.
The fast Boot feature can support Quad I/O interface. The QE bit of Status Register is set to “1”, the data is output
by Quad I/O interface.

10-21. Sector Erase (SE)
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen sector to be "1". The instruction is used
for any 4K-byte sector. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must execute to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit
before sending the Sector Erase (SE). Any address of the sector (Please refer to "5. MEMORY ORGANIZATION")
is a valid address for Sector Erase (SE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the least
significant bit of the address byte been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
The sequence of issuing SE instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending SE instruction code→ 4-byte address on SI→
CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
The self-timed Sector Erase Cycle time (tSE) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while the Sector Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the tSE
timing, and clears when Sector Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared. If the
Block is protected by BP bits (WPSEL=0; Block Protect Mode) or SPB/DPB (WPSEL=1; Advanced Sector Protect
Mode), the Sector Erase (SE) instruction will not be executed on the block.

10-25. Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction is for programming memory bits to "0". One to 256 bytes can be sent to the
device to be programmed. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
bit before sending the Page Program (PP). If more than 256 data bytes are sent to the device, only the last 256
data bytes will be accepted and the previous data bytes will be disregarded. The Page Program instruction requires
that all the data bytes fall within the same 256-byte page. The low order address byte A[7:0] specifies the starting
address within the selected page. Bytes that will cross a page boundary will wrap to the beginning of the selected
page. The device can accept (256 minus A[7:0]) data bytes without wrapping. If 256 data bytes are going to be
programmed, A[7:0] should be set to 0.
The sequence of issuing PP instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending PP instruction code→ 4-byte address on SI→ at
least 1-byte on data on SI→ CS# goes high.
The CS# must be kept to low during the whole Page Program cycle; The CS# must go high exactly at the byte
boundary( the latest eighth bit of data being latched in), otherwise the instruction will be rejected and will not be
executed.
The self-timed Page Program Cycle time (tPP) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while the Page Program cycle is in progress. The WIP sets during the tPP
timing, and clears when Page Program Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared. If the
page is protected by BP bits (WPSEL=0; Block Protect Mode) or SPB/DPB (WPSEL=1; Advanced Sector Protect
Mode), the Page Program (PP) instruction will not be executed.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care

10-26. 4 x I/O Page Program (4PP)
The Quad Page Program (4PP) instruction is for programming the memory to be "0". A Write Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit and Quad Enable (QE) bit must be set to
"1" before sending the Quad Page Program (4PP). The Quad Page Programming takes four pins: SIO0, SIO1,
SIO2, and SIO3 as address and data input, which can improve programmer performance and the effectiveness of
application. The other function descriptions are as same as standard page program.
The sequence of issuing 4PP instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending 4PP instruction code→ 4-byte address on
SIO[3:0]→ at least 1-byte on data on SIO[3:0]→CS# goes high.
If the page is protected by BP bits (WPSEL=0; Block Protect Mode) or SPB/DPB (WPSEL=1; Advanced Sector

10-27. Deep Power-down (DP)
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is for setting the device to minimum power consumption (the standby
current is reduced from ISB1 to ISB2). The Deep Power-down mode requires the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction
to enter, during the Deep Power-down mode, the device is not active and all Write/Program/Erase instruction are
ignored. When CS# goes high, it's only in deep power-down mode not standby mode. It's different from Standby
mode.
The sequence of issuing DP instruction is: CS# goes low→sending DP instruction code→CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
Once the DP instruction is set, all instruction will be ignored except the Release from Deep Power-down mode (RDP)
and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction and softreset command. (those instructions allow the ID being
reading out). When Power-down, or software reset command the deep power-down mode automatically stops, and
when power-up, the device automatically is in standby mode. For DP instruction the CS# must go high exactly at the
byte boundary (the latest eighth bit of instruction code been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will not executed.
As soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high, a delay of tDP is required before entering the Deep Power-down mode.

10-28. Enter Secured OTP (ENSO)
The ENSO instruction is for entering the additional 8K-bit secured OTP mode. While device is in secured OTPmode,
main array access is not available. The additional 8K-bit secured OTP is independent from main array and may be
used to store unique serial number for system identifier. After entering the Secured OTP mode, follow standard read
or program procedure to read out the data or update data. The Secured OTP data cannot be updated again once it
is lock-down.
The sequence of issuing ENSO instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending ENSO instruction to enter Secured OTP
mode→ CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care

Please note that after issuing ENSO command user can only access secure OTP region with standard read or
program procedure. Furthermore, once security OTP is lock down, only read related commands are valid.
10-29. Exit Secured OTP (EXSO)
The EXSO instruction is for exiting the secured OTP mode.
The sequence of issuing EXSO instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending EXSO instruction to exit Secured OTP
mode→ CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
10-30. Read Security Register (RDSCUR)
The RDSCUR instruction is for reading the value of Security Register bits. The Read Security Register can be read
at any time (even in program/erase/write status register/write security register condition) and continuously.
The sequence of issuing RDSCUR instruction is : CS# goes low→sending RDSCUR instruction→Security Register
data out on SO→ CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
10-31. Write Security Register (WRSCUR)
The WRSCUR instruction is for changing the values of Security Register Bits. The WREN (Write Enable) instruction
is required before issuing WRSCUR instruction. The WRSCUR instruction may change the values of bit1 (LDSO bit)
for customer to lock-down the Secured OTP area. Once the LDSO bit is set to "1", the Secured OTP area cannot be
updated any more.
The sequence of issuing WRSCUR instruction is :CS# goes low→ sending WRSCUR instruction → CS# goes high.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care

10-32. Write Protection Selection (WPSEL)
There are two write protection methods provided on this device, (1) Block Protection (BP) mode or (2) Advanced
Sector Protection mode. The protection modes are mutually exclusive. The WPSEL bit selects which protection
mode is enabled. If WPSEL=0 (factory default), BP mode is enabled and Advanced Sector Protection mode is
disabled. If WPSEL=1, Advanced Sector Protection mode is enabled and BP mode is disabled. The WPSEL
command is used to set WPSEL=1. A WREN command must be executed to set the WEL bit before sending the
WPSEL command. Please note that the WPSEL bit is an OTP bit. Once WPSEL is set to “1”, it cannot be
programmed back to “0”.
When WPSEL = 0: Block Protection (BP) mode,
The memory array is write protected by the BP3~BP0 bits.
When WPSEL =1: Advanced Sector Protection mode,
Blocks are individually protected by their own SPB or DPB. On power-up, all blocks are write protected by the
Dynamic Protection Bits (DPB) by default. The Advanced Sector Protection instructions WRLR, RDLR, WRPASS,

10-33. Advanced Sector Protection
There are two ways to implement software Advanced Sector Protection on this device. Through these two protection
methods, user can disable or enable the programming or erasing operation to any individual sector or all sectors.
There is a non-volatile (SPB) and volatile (DPB) protection bit related to the single sector in main flash array. Each
of the sectors is protected from programming or erasing operation when the bit is set.
The figure below helps describing an overview of these methods. The device is default to the Solid mode when
shipped from factory. The detail algorithm of advanced sector protection is shown as follows:

10-33-1. Lock Register
The Lock Register is a 16-bit register. Lock Register Bit[6] is SPB Lock Down Bit (SPBLKDN) which is assigned to
control all SPB bit status. Lock Register Bit[2] is Password Protection Mode Lock Bit. Both bits are defaulted as 1
when shipping from factory.
When SPBLKDN is 1, SPB can be changed. When it is locked as 0, all SPB can not be changed.
Users can choose their favorite sector protecting method via setting Lock Register Bit[2] using WRLR command.
The device default status was in Solid Protection Mode (Bit[2]=1), Once Bit[2] has been programmed (cleared to
"0"), the device will enable the Password Protection Mode and lock in that mode permanently.
In Solid Protection Mode (Bit[2]=1, factory default), the SPBLKDN can be programmed using the WRLR command
and permanently lock down the SPB bits. After programming SPBLKDN to 0, all SPB can not be changed anymore,
and neither Lock Register Bit[2] nor Bit[6] can be altered anymore.
In Password Protection Mode (Bit[2]=0), the SPBLKDN becomes a volatile bit with default 0 (SPB bit protected).
A correct password is required with PASSULK command to set SPBLKDN to 1. To clear SPBLKDN back to 0, a
Hardware/Software Reset or power-up cycle is required.
If user selects Password Protection mode, the password setting is required. User can set password by issuing
WRPASS command before Lock Register Bit[2] set to 0.

10-33-2. Solid Protection Bits
The Solid Protection Bits (SPBs) are nonvolatile bits for enabling or disabling write-protection to sectors and blocks.
The SPB bits have the same endurance as the Flash memory. An SPB is assigned to each 4KB sector in the bottom
and top 64KB of memory and to each 64KB block in the remaining memory. The factory default state of the SPB bits
is “0”, which has the sector/block write-protection disabled.
When an SPB is set to “1”, the associated sector or block is write-protected. Program and erase operations on the
sector or block will be inhibited. SPBs can be individually set to “1” by the WRSPB command. However, the SPBs
cannot be individually cleared to “0”. Issuing the ESSPB command clears all SPBs to “0”. A WREN command must
be executed to set the WEL bit before sending the WRSPB or ESSPB command.
The SPBLKDN bit must be “1” before any SPB can be modified. In Solid Protection mode the SPBLKDN bit defaults to “1”
after power-on or reset. Under Password Protection mode, the SPBLKDN bit defaults to “0” after power-on or reset,
and a PASSULK command with a correct password is required to set the SPBLKDN bit to “1”.
The RDSPB command reads the status of the SPB of a sector or block. The RDSPB command returns 00h if the
SPB is “0”, indicating write-protection is disabled. The RDSPB command returns FFh if the SPB is “1”, indicating
write-protection is enabled.
Note: If SPBLKDN=0, commands to set or clear the SPB bits will be ignored.

10-33-3. Dynamic Write Protection Bits
The Dynamic Protection features a volatile type protection to each individual sector. It can protect sectors from
unintentional change, and is easy to disable when there are necessary changes.
All DPBs are default as protected (FFh) after reset or upon power up cycle. Via setting up Dynamic Protection bit (DPB)
by write DPB command (WRDPB), user can cancel the Dynamic Protection of associated sector.
The Dynamic Protection only works on those unprotected sectors whose SPBs are cleared. After the DPB state is
cleared to “0”, the sector can be modified if the SPB state is unprotected state.

10-33-4. Password Protection Mode
Password Protection mode potentially provides a higher level of security than Solid Protection mode. In Password
Protection mode, the SPBLKDN bit defaults to “0” after a power-on cycle or reset. When SPBLKDN=0, the SPBs
are locked and cannot be modified. A 64-bit password must be provided to unlock the SPBs.
The PASSULK command with the correct password will set the SPBLKDN bit to “1” and unlock the SPB bits. After
the correct password is given, a wait of 2us is necessary for the SPB bits to unlock. The Status Register WIP bit will
clear to “0” upon completion of the PASSULK command. Once unlocked, the SPB bits can be modified. A WREN
command must be executed to set the WEL bit before sending the PASSULK command.
Several steps are required to place the device in Password Protection mode. Prior to entering the Password
Protection mode, it is necessary to set the 64-bit password and verify it. The WRPASS command writes the
password and the RDPASS command reads back the password. Password verification is permitted until the
Password Protection Mode Lock Bit has been written to “0”. Password Protection mode is activated by programming
the Password Protection Mode Lock Bit to “0”. This operation is not reversible. Once the bit is programmed, it
cannot be erased. The device remains permanently in Password Protection mode and the 64-bit password can
neither be retrieved nor reprogrammed.
The password is all “1’s” when shipped from the factory. The WRPASS command can only program password bits to “0”.
The WRPASS command cannot program “0’s” back to “1’s”. All 64-bit password combinations are valid password
options. A WREN command must be executed to set the WEL bit before sending the WRPASS command.
● The unlock operation will fail if the password provided by the PASSULK command does not match the stored
password. This will set the P_FAIL bit to “1” and insert a delay before clearing the WIP bit to “0”. User has to
wait 150us before issuing another PASSULK command. This restriction makes it impractical to attempt all
combinations of a 64-bit password (such an effort would take millions of years). Monitor the WIP bit to determine
whether the device has completed the PASSULK command.
● When a valid password is provided, the PASSULK command does not insert the delay before returning the WIP
bit to zero. The SPBLKDN bit will set to “1” and the P_FAIL bit will be “0”.
● It is not possible to set the SPBLKDN bit to “1” if the password had not been set prior to the Password Protection
mode being selected.

These instructions are only effective after WPSEL was executed. The GBLK/GBULK instruction is a chip-based
protected or unprotected operation. It can enable or disable all DPB.
The WREN (Write Enable) instruction is required before issuing GBLK/GBULK instruction.
The sequence of issuing GBLK/GBULK instruction is: CS# goes low → send GBLK/GBULK (7Eh/98h) instruction
→CS# goes high.
The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary, otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not be executed.

10-34. Program Suspend and Erase Suspend
The Suspend instruction interrupts a Program or Erase operation to allow the device conduct other operations.
After the device has entered the suspended state, the memory array can be read except for the page being
programmed or the sector being erased.
Security Register bit 2 (PSB) and bit 3 (ESB) can be read to check the suspend status. The PSB (Program Suspend
Bit) sets to “1” when a program operation is suspended. The ESB (Erase Suspend Bit) sets to “1” when an erase
operation is suspended. The PSB or ESB clears to “0” when the program or erase operation is resumed.
When the Serial NOR Flash receives the Suspend instruction, Program Suspend Latency(tPSL) or Erase Suspend
latency(tESL) is required to complete suspend operation. (Refer to "Table 18. AC CHARACTERISTICS") After the
device has entered the suspended state, the WEL bit is clears to “0” and the PSB or ESB in security register is set to “1”,
then the device is ready to acceptanother command.
However, some commands can be executed without tPSL or tESL latency during the program/erase suspend, and
can be issued at any time during the Suspend.
Please refer to "Table 12. Acceptable Commands During Suspend".

10-35. Program Resume and Erase Resume
The Resume instruction resumes a suspended Program or Erase operation. After the device receives the Resume
instruction, the WEL and WIP bits are set to “1” and the PSB or ESB is cleared to “0”.The program or erase
operation will continue until it is completed or until another Suspend instruction is received.
To issue another Suspend instruction, the minimum resume-to-suspend latency (tPRS or tERS) is required.
However, in order to finish the program or erase progress, a period equal to or longer than the typical timing is
required.
To issue other command except suspend instruction, a latency of the self-timed Page Program Cycle time (tPP) or
Sector Erase (tSE) is required. The WEL and WIP bits are cleared to “0” after the Program or Erase operation is
completed.
Note:
The Resume instruction will be ignored during Performance Enhance Mode. Make sure the Serial NOR Flash has
exited the Performance Enhance Mode before issuing the Resume instruction.

The “No Operation” command is only able to terminate the Reset Enable (RSTEN) command and will not affect any
other command.

during SPI mode.
10-37. Software Reset (Reset-Enable (RSTEN) and Reset (RST))
The Software Reset operation combines two instructions: Reset-Enable (RSTEN) command and Reset (RST)
command. It returns the device to standby mode. All the volatile bits and settings will be cleared then, which makes
the device return to the default status as power on.
To execute Reset command (RST), the Reset-Enable (RSTEN) command must be executed first to perform the
Reset operation. If there is any other command to interrupt after the Reset-Enable command, the Reset-Enable will
be invalid.
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care
when during SPI mode.
If the Reset command is executed during program or erase operation, the operation will be disabled, the data under
processing could be damaged or lost.
The reset time is different depending on the last operation. For details, please refer to "Table 14. Reset Timing(Other Operation)" for tREADY2.

11. Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP)
11-1. Read SFDP Mode (RDSFDP)
The Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard provides a consistent method of describing the functional
and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a standard set of internal parameter tables. These parameter tables
can be interrogated by host system software to enable adjustments needed to accommodate divergent features
from multiple vendors. The concept is similar to the one found in the Introduction of JEDEC Standard, JESD68 on
CFI.
The sequence of issuing RDSFDP instruction is CS# goes low→send RDSFDP instruction (5Ah)→send 3 address
bytes on SI pin→send 1 dummy byte on SI pin→read SFDP code on SO→to end RDSFDP operation can use CS#
to high at any time during data out.
SFDP is a JEDEC standard, JESD216B.
For SFDP register values detail, please contact local Macronix sales channel for Application Note.

12. RESET
Driving the RESET# pin low for a period of tRLRH or longer will reset the device. After reset cycle, the device is at
the following states:
- Standby mode
- All the volatile bits such as WEL/WIP/SRAM lock bit will return to the default status as power on.
If the device is under programming or erasing, driving the RESET# pin low will also terminate the operation and data
could be lost. During the resetting cycle, the SO data becomes high impedance and the current will be reduced to
minimum.

13. POWER-ON STATE
The device is at below states when power-up:
- Standby mode (please note it is not deep power-down mode)
- Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset
The device must not be selected during power-up and power-down stage unless the VCC achieves below correct
level:
- VCC minimum at power-up stage and then after a delay of tVSL
- GND at power-down
Please note that a pull-up resistor on CS# may ensure a safe and proper power-up/down level.
An internal power-on reset (POR) circuit may protect the device from data corruption and inadvertent data change
during power up state. When VCC is lower than VWI (POR threshold voltage value), the internal logic is reset and
the flash device has no response to any command.
For further protection on the device, if the VCC does not reach the VCC minimum level, the correct operation is not
guaranteed. The write, erase, and program command should be sent after the below time delay:
- tVSL after VCC reached VCC minimum level
The device can accept read command after VCC reached VCC minimum and a time delay of tVSL.
Please refer to the "power-up timing".
Note:
- To stabilize the VCC level, the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to package pins is
recommended. (generally around 0.1uF)
- At power-down stage, the VCC drops below VWI level, all operations are disable and device has no response
to any command. The data corruption might occur during the stage while a write, program, erase cycle is in
progress.

15. OPERATING CONDITIONS
At Device Power-Up and Power-Down
AC timing illustrated in Figure 91 and Figure 92 are for the supply voltages and the control signals at device powerup and power-down. If the timing in the figures is ignored, the device will not operate correctly.
During power-up and power-down, CS# needs to follow the voltage applied on VCC to keep the device not to be
selected. The CS# can be driven low when VCC reach Vcc(min.) and wait a period of tVSL.
