2.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX25U8035E are 8,388,608 bit serial Flash memory, which is configured as 1,048,576 x 8 internally. When it is
in two or four I/O read mode, the structure becomes 4,194,304 bits x 2 or 2,097,152 bits x 4. MX25U8035E 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, SO pin and WP# pin become SIO0 pin, SIO1
pin, SIO2 pin and SIO3 pin for address/dummy bits input and data output.
The MX25U8035E 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 MX25U8035E 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.
• Power-on reset and tPUW: to avoid sudden power switch by system power supply transition, the power-on reset
and tPUW (internal timer) may protect the Flash.
• 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. The WEL bit will return to reset stage under following situation:
- Power-up
- Write Disable (WRDI) command completion
- Write Status Register (WRSR) command completion
- Page Program (PP) command completion
- Sector Erase (SE) command completion
- Block Erase 32KB (BE32K) command completion
- Block Erase (BE) command completion
- Chip Erase (CE) command completion
- Program/Erase Suspend
- Softreset command completion
- Write Security Register (WRSCUR) command completion
- Write Protection Selection (WPSEL) command completion
• 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) and softreset command.
• Advanced Security Features: there are some protection and security features which protect content from
inadvertent write and hostile access.
I. Block lock protection
- The Software Protected Mode (SPM) use (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits to allow part of memory to be protected
as read only. The protected area definition is shown as "Table 2. Protected Area Sizes", the protected areas are
more flexible which may protect various area by setting value of BP0-BP3 bits.
Please refer to "Table 2. Protected Area Sizes".
- The Hardware Proteced Mode (HPM) use WP#/SIO2 to protect the (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits and Status
Register Write Protect bit.
- In four I/O and QPI mode, the feature of HPM will be disabled.

8.DEVICE OPERATION
1. Before a command is issued, status register should be checked to ensure device is ready for the intended
operation.
2. When incorrect command is inputted to this device, it enters standby mode and remains in standby mode until
next CS# falling edge. In standby mode, SO pin of the device is High-Z.
3. When correct command is inputted to this device, it enters active mode and remains in active mode until next
CS# rising edge.
4. Input data is latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCLK) and data is shifted out on the falling edge of
SCLK. The difference of Serial mode 0 and mode 3 is shown as "Figure 1. Serial Modes Supported".
5. For the following instructions: RDID, RDSR, RDSCUR, READ, FAST_READ, RDSFDP, 2READ, 4READ, RES,
REMS, SQIID, RDBLOCK, 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, SBLK, SBULK, 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. While a Write Status Register, Program, or Erase operation is in progress, access to the memory array is
neglected and will not affect the current operation of Write Status Register, Program, Erase.

9-1. 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. (Please refer to "Figure 19. Write Enable (WREN) Sequence (Command 06) (SPI Mode)" and "Figure
20. Write Enable (WREN) Sequence (Command 06) (QPI Mode)")
9-2. Write Disable (WRDI)
The Write Disable (WRDI) instruction is to reset Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit.
The sequence of issuing WRDI instruction is: CS# goes low→sending WRDI 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. (Please refer to "Figure 21. Write Disable (WRDI) Sequence (Command 04) (SPI Mode)" and "Figure
23. Write Disable (WRDI) Sequence (Command 04) (QPI Mode)")
The WEL bit is reset by following situations:
- Power-up
- Completion of Write Disable (WRDI) instruction
- Completion of Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction
- Completion of Page Program (PP) instruction
- Completion of Quad Page Program (4PP) instruction
- Completion of Sector Erase (SE) instruction
- Completion of Block Erase 32KB (BE32K) instruction
- Completion of Block Erase (BE) instruction
- Completion of Chip Erase (CE) instruction
- Pgm/Ers Suspend
9-3. Read Identification (RDID)
The RDID instruction is to read the manufacturer ID of 1-byte and followed by Device ID of 2-byte. The MXIC
Manufacturer ID is C2(hex), the memory type ID is 25(hex) as the first-byte device ID, and the individual device ID
of second-byte ID are listed as "Table 8. 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.
9-4. Read Status Register (RDSR)
The RDSR instruction is for reading Status Register Bits. The Read Status Register can be read at any time (even
in program/erase/write status register condition). It is recommended to check the Write in Progress (WIP) bit before
sending a new instruction when a program, erase, or write status register operation is in progress.

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, a volatile bit, indicates whether the device is set to internal write enable
latch. When WEL bit sets to 1, which means the internal write enable latch is set, the device can accept program/
erase/write status register instruction. When WEL bit sets to 0, which means no internal write enable latch; the
device will not accept program/erase/write status register instruction. The program/erase command will be ignored
if it is applied to a protected memory area. To ensure both WIP bit & WEL bit are both set to 0 and available for next
program/erase/operations, WIP bit needs to be confirm to be 0 before polling WEL bit. After WIP bit confirmed, WEL
bit needs to be confirm to be 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 2. Protected Area Sizes") 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 unprotected.
QE bit. The Quad Enable (QE) bit, non-volatile bit, performs SPI Quad modes when it is reset to "0" (factory default)
to enable WP# or is set to "1" to enable Quad SIO2 and SIO3. QE bit is only valid for SPI mode. When operate in SPI
mode, and quad IO read is desired (for command EBh/E7h, or quad IO program, 38h). WRSR command has to be
set the through Status Register bit 6, the QE bit. Then the SPI Quad I/O commands (EBh/E7h/38h) will be accepted
by flash. If QE bit is not set, SPI Quad I/O commands (EBh/E7h/38h) will be invalid commands, the device will not
respond to them. Once QE bit is set, all SPI commands are valid. 1I/O commands and 2IO commands can be issued
no matter QE bit is "0" or "1". When in QPI mode, QE bit will not affect the operation of QPI mode at all. Therefore
either "0" or "1" value of QE bit does not affect the QPI mode operation.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit, non-volatile bit, is operated together with Write Protection
(WP#/SIO2) pin for providing hardware protection mode. The hardware protection mode requires SRWD sets to 1 and
WP#/SIO2 pin signal is low stage. In the hardware protection mode, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is
no longer accepted for execution and the SRWD bit and Block Protect bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) are read only. The
SRWD bit defaults to be "0".

9-5. Write Status Register (WRSR)
The WRSR instruction is for changing the values of Status 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 2. Protected Area Sizes"). The WRSR also can set or reset the Quad
enable (QE) bit and set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with Write Protection (WP#/
SIO2) pin signal, but has no effect on bit1(WEL) and bit0 (WIP) of the status register. 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. (Please refer to "Figure 26. Write Status Register (WRSR) Sequence (Command 01) (SPI
Mode)" and "Figure 28. Write Status Register (WRSR) Sequence (Command 01) (QPI Mode)")
The CS# must go high exactly at the byte 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.

Protected Area Sizes".
As the above table showing, the summary of the Software Protected Mode (SPM) and Hardware Protected Mode (HPM).
Software Protected Mode (SPM):
- When SRWD bit=0, no matter WP#/SIO2 is low or high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit and can
change the values of SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP2, BP1,
BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM).
- When SRWD bit=1 and WP#/SIO2 is high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit can change the values
of SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, is at software
protected mode (SPM)
Note:
If SRWD bit=1 but WP#/SIO2 is low, it is impossible to write the Status Register even if the WEL bit has previously
been set. It is rejected to write the Status Register and not be executed.
P/N: PM1654
22
REV. 1.7, APR. 02, 2015
MX25U8035E
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM):
- When SRWD bit=1, and then WP#/SIO2 is low (or WP#/SIO2 is low before SRWD bit=1), it enters the hardware
protected mode (HPM). The data of the protected area is protected by software protected mode by BP3, BP2,
BP1, BP0 and hardware protected mode by the WP#/SIO2 to against data modification.
Note:
To exit the hardware protected mode requires WP#/SIO2 driving high once the hardware protected mode is entered.
If the WP#/SIO2 pin is permanently connected to high, the hardware protected mode can never be entered; only
can use software protected mode via BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0.
If the system enter QPI or set QE=1, the feature of HPM will be disabled.
9-6. 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→ 3-byte address
on SI→ data out on SO→to end READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out. (Please refer to
"Figure 27. Read Data Bytes (READ) Sequence (Command 03) (SPI Mode only) (33MHz)")
9-7. Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ)
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.
Read on SPI Mode The sequence of issuing FAST_READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending FAST_READ
instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→1-dummy byte (default) address on SI→ data out on SO→ to end FAST_
READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out. (Please refer to "Figure 29. Read at Higher
Speed (FAST_READ) Sequence (Command 0B) (SPI Mode) (104MHz)")
Read on QPI Mode The sequence of issuing FAST_READ instruction in QPI mode is: CS# goes low→ sending
FAST_READ instruction, 2 cycles→ 24-bit address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→4 dummy cycles→data
out interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to end QPI FAST_READ operation can use CS# to high at any time
during data out. (Please refer to "Figure 30. Read at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) Sequence (Command 0B) (QPI
Mode) (84MHz)")
In the 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 reduce the next 4READ instruction. Once P[7:4] is no longer toggling with P[3:0];
likewise P[7:0]=FFh,00h,AAh or 55h and afterwards CS# is raised and then lowered, the system then will escape
from performance enhance mode and return to normal operation.
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.
9-8. 2 x I/O Read Mode (2READ)
P/N: PM1654
23
REV. 1.7, APR. 02, 2015
MX25U8035E
The 2READ instruction enable double throughput of Serial 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 2READ
instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing 2READ
instruction, the following address/dummy/data out will perform as 2-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
The sequence of issuing 2READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending 2READ instruction→ 24-bit address
interleave on SIO1 & SIO0→ 4 dummy cycles on SIO1 & SIO0→ data out interleave on SIO1 & SIO0→ to end
2READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out (Please refer to "Figure 31. 2 x I/O Read Mode
Sequence (Command BB) (SPI Mode only) (84MHz)").
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, 2READ instruction is rejected without any impact on
the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.
9-9. 4 x I/O Read Mode (4READ)
The 4READ instruction enable quad throughput of Serial Flash in read mode. A Quad Enable (QE) bit of status
Register must be set to "1" before sending the 4READ instruction. 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 4READ instruction. The address
counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing 4READ instruction, the following
address/dummy/data out will perform as 4-bit instead of previous 1-bit.
4 x I/O Read on SPI Mode (4READ) The sequence of issuing 4READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending
4READ instruction→ 24-bit address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→2+4 dummy cycles→data out
interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to end 4READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
(Please refer to "Figure 32. 4 x I/O Read Mode Sequence (Command EB) (SPI Mode) (104MHz)").
W4READ instruction (E7) is also available is SPI mode for 4 I/O read. The sequence is similar to 4READ, but with
only 4 dummy cycles. The clock rate runs at 84MHz.
4 x I/O Read on QPI Mode (4READ) The 4READ instruction also support on QPI command mode. The sequence of
issuing 4READ instruction QPI mode is: CS# goes low→ sending 4READ instruction→ 24-bit address interleave on
SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→2+4 dummy cycles→data out interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0→ to end 4READ
operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
Another sequence of issuing 4 READ instruction especially useful in random access is : CS# goes low→sending
4 READ instruction→3-bytes address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0 →performance enhance toggling
bit P[7:0]→ 4 dummy cycles →data out still CS# goes high → CS# goes low (reduce 4 Read instruction) →24-bit
random access address (Please refer to "Figure 33. 4 x I/O Read enhance performance Mode Sequence (Command
EB) (SPI Mode) (104MHz)" and "Figure 35. 4 x I/O Read enhance performance Mode Sequence (Command EB) (QPI
Mode) (104MHz)" ).
In the 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 reduce the next 4READ instruction. Once P[7:4] is no longer toggling with P[3:0];
likewise P[7:0]=FFh,00h,AAh or 55h and afterwards CS# is raised and then lowered, the system then will escape
from performance enhance mode and return to normal operation.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, 4READ instruction is rejected without any impact on
the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

The device could waive the command cycle bits if the two cycle bits after address cycle toggles. (Please note
"Figure 33. 4 x I/O Read enhance performance Mode Sequence (Command EB) (SPI Mode) (104MHz)" and
"Figure 35. 4 x I/O Read enhance performance Mode Sequence (Command EB) (QPI Mode) (104MHz)". 4xI/O
Read enhance performance mode sequence)
Performance enhance mode is supported in both SPI and QPI mode.
In QPI mode, “EBh” “0Bh” and SPI “EBh” “E7h” commands support enhance mode. The performance enhance
mode is not supported in dual I/O mode.
After entering enhance mode, following CSB go high, the device will stay in the read mode and treat CSB go low of
the first clock as address instead of command cycle.
To exit enhance mode, a new fast read command whose first two dummy cycles is not toggle then exit. Or issue
”FFh” command to exit enhance mode.
9-12. Performance Enhance Mode Reset (FFh)
To conduct the Performance Enhance Mode Reset operation in SPI mode, FFh command code, 8 clocks, should
be issued in 1I/O sequence. In QPI Mode, FFFFFFFFh command code, 8 clocks, in 4I/O should be issued. (Please
refer to "Figure 58. Performance Enhance Mode Reset for Fast Read Quad I/O (SPI and QPI Mode)")
If the system controller is being Reset during operation, the flash device will return to the standard SPI operation.
Upon Reset of main chip, SPI instruction would be issued from the system. Instructions like Read ID (9Fh) or Fast
Read (0Bh) would be issued.
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. (Please refer to "Figure 58. Performance Enhance Mode Reset for Fast Read Quad I/O (SPI
and QPI Mode)")
9-13. 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 (see "Table 4. Memory Organization (8Mb)") is a valid
address for Sector Erase (SE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the latest eighth of
address byte been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
Address bits [Am-A12] (Am is the most significant address) select the sector address.
The sequence of issuing SE instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending SE instruction code→ 3-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. (Please refer to "Figure 38. Sector Erase (SE) Sequence (Command 20) (SPI Mode)" and
"Figure 40. Sector Erase (SE) Sequence (Command 20) (QPI 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 check out during the Sector Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the
P/N: PM1654
26
REV. 1.7, APR. 02, 2015

tSE timing, and sets 0 when Sector Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If the
sector is protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, the Sector Erase (SE) instruction will not be executed on the sector.
9-14. Block Erase (BE32K)
The Block Erase (BE32K) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen block to be "1". The instruction is used
for 32K-byte block erase operation. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must execute to set the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit before sending the Block Erase (BE32K). Any address of the block (see "Table 4. Memory Organization
(8Mb)") is a valid address for Block Erase (BE32K) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the
latest eighth of address byte been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.

Mode)" and "Figure 41. Block Erase 32KB (BE32K) Sequence (Command 52) (QPI Mode)")
The self-timed Block Erase Cycle time (tBE32K) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit still can be check out during the Block Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the
tBE32K timing, and sets 0 when Block Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If
the block is protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, the Block Erase (tBE32K) instruction will not be executed on the
block.
9-15. Block Erase (BE)
The Block Erase (BE) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen block to be "1". The instruction is used for
64K-byte block erase operation. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must execute to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL)
bit before sending the Block Erase (BE). Any address of the block (Please refer to "Table 4. Memory Organization
(8Mb)") is a valid address for Block Erase (BE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the
latest eighth of address byte been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
The sequence of issuing BE instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending BE instruction code→ 3-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. (Please refer to "Figure 42. Block Erase (BE) Sequence (Command D8) (SPI Mode)" and
"Figure 43. Block Erase (BE) Sequence (Command D8) (QPI Mode)")

The sequence of issuing CE instruction is: CS# goes low→sending CE 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. (Please refer to "Figure 44. Chip Erase (CE) Sequence (Command 60 or C7) (SPI Mode)"
and "Figure 45. Chip Erase (CE) Sequence (Command 60 or C7) (QPI Mode)")
The self-timed Chip Erase Cycle time (tCE) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in
Progress (WIP) bit still can be check out during the Chip Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the tCE
timing, and sets 0 when Chip Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If the chip is
protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, the Chip Erase (CE) instruction will not be executed. It will be only executed
when BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 all set to "0".
9-17. Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction is for programming the memory to be "0". A Write Enable (WREN) instruction
must execute to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program (PP). The device programs
only the last 256 data bytes sent to the device. The last address byte (the 8 least significant address bits, A7-A0)
should be set to 0 for 256 bytes page program. If A7-A0 are not all zero, transmitted data that exceed page length
are programmed from the starting address (24-bit address that last 8 bit are all 0) of currently selected page. If the
data bytes sent to the device exceeds 256, the last 256 data byte is programmed at the request page and previous
data will be disregarded. If the data bytes sent to the device has not exceeded 256, the data will be programmed at
the request address of the page. There will be no effort on the other data bytes of the same page.
The sequence of issuing PP instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending PP instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→ at
least 1-byte on data on SI→ CS# goes high. (Please refer to "Figure 34. Page Program (PP) Sequence (Command
02) (SPI Mode)" and "Figure 37. Page Program (PP) Sequence (Command 02) (QPI Mode)")
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 check out during the Page Program cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the
tPP timing, and sets 0 when Page Program Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If the
page is protected by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits, 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
when during SPI mode.
9-18. 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 execute 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
of lower clock less than 33MHz. For system with faster clock, the Quad page program cannot provide more actual
favors, because the required internal page program time is far more than the time data flows in. Therefore, we
suggest that while executing this command (especially during sending data), user can slow the clock speed down to
33MHz below. 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→ 3-byte address on
SIO[3:0]→ at least 1-byte on data on SIO[3:0]→CS# goes high.

9-19. Deep Power-down (DP)
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is for setting the device on the minimizing the power consumption (to
entering the Deep Power-down mode), 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. (Please refer to "Figure 46. Deep Power-down (DP) Sequence (Command B9) (SPI Mode)"
and "Figure 47. Deep Power-down (DP) Sequence (Command B9) (QPI 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.
9-20. Release from Deep Power-down (RDP), Read Electronic Signature (RES)
The Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction is terminated 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 tRES2, and Chip
Select (CS#) must remain High for at least tRES2(max), as specified in "Table 14. 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.
RES instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as table of ID
Definitions on next page. This is not the same as RDID instruction. It is not recommended to use for new design.
For new design, please use RDID instruction.
The sequence is shown as "Figure 48. Read Electronic Signature (RES) Sequence (Command AB) (SPI Mode)",
"Figure 50. Read Electronic Signature (RES) Sequence (Command AB) (QPI Mode)", "Figure 49. Release from
Deep Power-down (RDP) Sequence (Command AB) (SPI Mode)" and "Figure 51. Release from Deep Powerdown (RDP) Sequence (Command AB) (QPI Mode)". 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 Powerdown 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.

9-21. Read Electronic Manufacturer ID & Device ID (REMS)
The REMS instruction is an alternative to the Release from Power-down/Device ID instruction that provides both the
JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID and the specific device ID.
The REMS instruction is very similar to the Release from Power-down/Device ID instruction. The instruction is
initiated by driving the CS# pin low and shift the instruction code "90h" followed by two dummy bytes and one
bytes address (A7~A0). After which, the Manufacturer ID for MXIC (C2h) and the Device ID are shifted out on the
falling edge of SCLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in "Figure 52. Read Electronic Manufacturer
& Device ID (REMS) Sequence (Command 90) (SPI Mode only)". The Device ID values are listed in "Table 8. ID
Definitions". If the one-byte address is initially set to 01h, then the device ID will be read first and then followed by
the Manufacturer ID. The Manufacturer and Device IDs can be read continuously, alternating from one to the other.
The instruction is completed by driving CS# high.
9-22. QPI ID Read (QPIID)
User can execute this ID Read instruction to identify the Device ID and Manufacturer ID. The sequence of issue
QPIID instruction is CS# goes low→sending QPI ID instruction→→Data out on SO→CS# goes high. Most
significant bit (MSB) first.
After the command cycle, the device will immediately output data on the falling edge of SCLK. The manufacturer ID,
memory type, and device ID data byte will be output continuously, until the CS# goes high.

9-23. Enter Secured OTP (ENSO)
The ENSO instruction is for entering the additional 4K-bit secured OTP mode. The additional 4K-bit secured OTP is
independent from main array, which may use to store unique serial number for system identifier. After entering the
Secured OTP mode, and then 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
when during SPI mode.
Please note that WRSR/WRSCUR commands are not acceptable during the access of secure OTP region, once
security OTP is lock down, only read related commands are valid.
9-24. Exit Secured OTP (EXSO)
The EXSO instruction is for exiting the additional 4K-bit 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.
9-25. 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. Please see "Figure 53. Read Security Register (RDSCUR) Sequence (Command 2B) (SPI
Mode)" & "Figure 54. Read Security Register (RDSCUR) Sequence (Command 2B) (QPI Mode)".
The definition of the Security Register bits is as below:
Secured OTP Indicator bit. The Secured OTP indicator bit shows the chip is locked by factory before ex- 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 4K-bit Secured
OTP area cannot be update any more. While it is in 4K-bit secured OTP mode, main array access is not allowed.

9-26. Write Security Register (WRSCUR)
The WRSCUR instruction is for setting 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 4K-bit Secured OTP area. Once the LDSO bit is set to "1", the Secured OTP area
cannot be updated any more. The LDSO bit is an OTP bit. Once the LDSO bit is set, the value of LDSO bit can not
be altered 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
when during SPI mode. Please see "Figure 55. Write Security Register (WRSCUR) Sequence (Command 2F) (SPI
Mode)" & "Figure 56. Write Security Register (WRSCUR) Sequence (Command 2F) (QPI Mode)".
The CS# must go high exactly at the boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.
9-27. Write Protection Selection (WPSEL)
When the system accepts and executes WPSEL instruction, the bit 7 in security register will be set. The WREN (Write
Enable) instruction is required before issuing WPSEL instruction. It will activate SBLK, SBULK, RDBLOCK, GBLK,
GBULK etc instructions to conduct block lock protection and replace the original Software Protect Mode (SPM) use
(BP3~BP0) indicated block methods.
The sequence of issuing WPSEL instruction is: CS# goes low → sending WPSEL instruction to enter the individual
block protect 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.
Every time after the system is powered-on, and the Security Register bit 7 is checked to be WPSEL=1, all the
blocks or sectors will be write protected by default. User may only unlock the blocks or sectors via SBULK and
GBULK instruction. Program or erase functions can only be operated after the Unlock instruction is conducted.
Once WPSEL is setted, it cannot be changed.

9-28. Single Block Lock/Unlock Protection (SBLK/SBULK)
These instructions are only effective after WPSEL was executed. The SBLK instruction is for write protection a
specified block (or sector) of memory, using AMAX-A16 or (AMAX-A12) address bits to assign a 64Kbyte block (or 4K
bytes sector) to be protected as read only. The SBULK instruction will cancel the block (or sector) write protection
state. This feature allows user to stop protecting the entire block (or sector) through the chip unprotect command
(GBULK).
The WREN (Write Enable) instruction is required before issuing SBLK/SBULK instruction.
The sequence of issuing SBLK/SBULK instruction is: CS# goes low → send SBLK/SBULK (36h/39h)
instruction→send 3 address bytes assign one block (or sector) to be protected on SI pin → CS# goes high. The CS#
must go high exactly at the byte boundary, otherwise the instruction will be rejected and 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
when during SPI mode.

9-29. Read Block Lock Status (RDBLOCK)
This instruction is only effective after WPSEL was executed. The RDBLOCK instruction is for reading the status of
protection lock of a specified block (or sector), using AMAX-A16 (or AMAX-A12) address bits to assign a 64K bytes block (4K
bytes sector) and read protection lock status bit which the first byte of Read-out cycle. The status bit is"1" to indicate
that this block has be protected, that user can read only but cannot write/program /erase this block. The status bit is
"0" to indicate that this block hasn't be protected, and user can read and write this block.
The sequence of issuing RDBLOCK instruction is: CS# goes low → send RDBLOCK (3Ch) instruction → send 3
address bytes to assign one block on SI pin → read block's protection lock status bit on SO pin → 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.
9-30. Gang Block Lock/Unlock (GBLK/GBULK)
These instructions are only effective after WPSEL was executed. The GBLK/GBULK instruction is for enable/disable
the lock protection block of the whole chip.
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.
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 CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary, otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not be executed.
9-31. Program/ Erase Suspend/ Resume
The device allow the interruption of Sector-Erase, Block-Erase or Page-Program operations and conduct other
operations. Details as follows.

After issue erase suspend command, latency time 20us is needed before issue another command. For "Suspend
to Read", "Resume to Read", "Resume to Suspend" timing specification please note "Figure 62. Suspend to Read
Latency", "Figure 63. Resume to Read Latency" and "Figure 64. Resume to Suspend Latency".
ESB bit (Erase Suspend Bit) indicates the status of Erase suspend operation. When issue a suspend command
during program operation ESB=1, when erase operation resumes, ESB will be reset to "0".
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.
When ESB bit is issued, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit will be reset.
See "Figure 62. Suspend to Read Latency" for Suspend to Read latency.
9-33. Program Suspend

After issue program suspend command, latency time 20us is needed before issue another command.
For "Suspend to Read", "Resume to Read", "Resume to Suspend" timing specification please note "Figure 62.
Suspend to Read Latency", "Figure 63. Resume to Read Latency" and "Figure 64. Resume to Suspend Latency".
PSB bit (Program Suspend Bit) indicates the status of Program suspend operation. When issue a suspend
command during program operation PSB=1, when program operation resumes, PSB will be reset to "0".
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.
9-34. Write-Resume
The Write operation is being resumed when Write-Resume instruction issued. ESB or PSB (suspend status bit) in
Status register will be changed back to “0”
The operation of Write-Resume is as follows: CS# drives low → send write resume command cycle (30H) → drive
CS# high. By polling Busy Bit in status register, the internal write operation status could be checked to be completed
or not. The user may also wait the time lag of TSE, TBE, TPP for Sector-erase, Block-erase or Page-programming.
WREN (command "06" is not required to issue before resume. Resume to another suspend operation requires tPRS
latency time.
P/N: PM1654

REV. 1.7, APR. 02, 2015
MX25U8035E
When Erase Suspend is being resumed, the WEL bit need to be set again if user desire to conduct the program or
erase operation.
Please note that, if "performance enhance mode" is executed during suspend operation, the device can not be
resume. To restart the write command, disable the "performance enhance mode" is required. After the "performance
enhance mode" is disable, the write-resume command is effective.
9-35. No Operation (NOP)
The "No Operation" command is only able to terminate the Reset Enable (RSTEN) command and will not affect any
other command.
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.
9-36. 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 a 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. Longer latency time is required to recover from a
program operation than from other operations.
9-37. Reset Quad I/O (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).
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.
Note: For EQIO and RSTQIO commands, CS# high width has to follow "write spec" tSHSL for next instruction.

9-38. 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 standard of JEDEC. JESD216. v1.0.

Note 1: h/b is hexadecimal or binary.
Note 2: (x-y-z) means I/O mode nomenclature used to indicate the number of active pins used for the opcode (x),
address (y), and data (z). At the present time, the only valid Read SFDP instruction modes are: (1-1-1), (2-2-2),
and (4-4-4)
Note 3: Wait States is required dummy clock cycles after the address bits or optional mode bits.
Note 4: Mode Bits is optional control bits that follow the address bits. These bits are driven by the system controller
if they are specified. (eg,read performance enhance toggling bits)
Note 5: 4KB=2^0Ch,32KB=2^0Fh,64KB=2^10h
Note 6: All unused and undefined area data is blank FFh for SFDP Tables that are defined in Parameter
Identification Header. All other areas beyond defined SFDP Table are reserved by Macronix.

10.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.
For further protection on the device, if the VCC does not reach the VCC minimum level, the correct operation is not
guaranteed. The read, write, erase, and program command should be sent after the below time delay:
- tVSL after VCC reached VCC minimum level
Please refer to the figure of "Figure 66. 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)
