MX25V5126F
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MX25V5126F is a CMOS 512Kb bits Serial NOR Flash memory, which is configured as 65,536 x 8 internally.
MX25V5126F features a serial peripheral interface and software protocol allowing operation on a simple 3-wire bus.
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.
MX25V5126F provides sequential read operation on the 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 page (256 bytes)
basis. Erase command is executed on chip or on 4K-byte sector, or 32KB block (32K-byte), or 64K-byte block, 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.
When the device is not in operation and CS# is high, it is put in standby mode.
The MX25V5126F 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), Read Electronic
Signature command (RES), power-cycle, or reset. For more details, please refer to "9-17. Deep Power-down (DP)"
section.
• Protection Features: There are some protection features that could protect content change from unintentional
write and hostile access:
A. The software Protection Mode (SPM) - Use BP0, BP1, BP3 bits to set the part of memory to be protected as read only
The definition of protect area is shown as "Table 1. Protected Area Sizes".
B. Hardware Protection Mode (HPM) - use WP# by setting WP# going low to protect the BP0, BP1, BP3 bits and status
register write protection (SRWD).

8. DEVICE OPERATION
1. Before a command is issued, status register should be checked to ensure the device is ready for the intended
operation.
2. When an incorrect command is written to this device, it enters standby mode and stays in the standby mode until
the next CS# falling edge. In standby mode, the device's SO pin should be High-Z.
3. When an correct command is written to this device, it enters active mode and stays in 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 "Figure 1. Serial Modes Supported".
5. For the following instructions: RDID, RDSR, READ, FAST_READ, DREAD, RES and REMS 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, BE, CE, PP, RDP, DP, RSTEN and RST, 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
ignored and will not affect the current operation of Write Status Register, Program, or Erase.

The Factory Mode Enable (FMEN) instruction is for enhance Program and Erase performance for increase factory
production throughput. The FMEN instruction need to combine with the instructions which are intended to change
the device content, like PP, SE, BE32K, BE, and CE.
The sequence of issuing FMEN instruction is: CS# goes low→sending FMEN instruction code→ CS# goes high. A
valid factory mode operation need to included three sequences: WREN instruction → FMEN instruction→ Program
or Erase instruction.
The FMEN is reset by following situations
- Power-up

9-4. Read Identification (RDID)
The RDID instruction is for reading the 1-byte manufacturer ID and the 2-byte Device ID that follows. The Macronix
Manufacturer ID and Device ID are listed as "Table 4. ID Definitions".
The sequence of issuing RDID instruction is: CS# goes low→ send RDID instruction code→24-bits ID data out on
SO→ to end RDID operation, drive CS# high at any time during data out. 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.
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.

9-5. 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 4. 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.

9-6. 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 sequence of issuing RDSR instruction is: CS# goes low→ Send RDSR instruction code→ Status Register data
out on SO.
The SIO[1:0] are "don't care".

Status Register
The definitions 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, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP3, BP1, BP0) bits, non-volatile bits, indicate the protected area (as defined
in "Table 1. Protected Area Sizes") of the device to against the program/erase instruction without hardware protection
mode being set. To write the Block Protect (BP3, 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 (BE) and Chip Erase(CE) instructions (only if all Block Protect bits set to 0 or BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 are set
to "1,X,0,0", the CE instruction can be executed).
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit, non-volatile bit, is operated together with Write Protection
(WP#) pin for providing hardware protection mode. The hardware protection mode requires SRWD sets to 1 and
WP# 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, BP1, BP0) are read only.

9-7. 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, BP1, BP0) bits to define the protected
area of memory (as shown in "Table 8. AC CHARACTERISTICS".) The WRSR can also set or reset the Status
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with Write Protection (WP#) 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→ send WRSR instruction code→ Status Register data
on SI→CS# goes high.
The CS# must go high exactly at the 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 checked 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.

Software Protected Mode (SPM):
- When SRWD bit=0, no matter WP# is low or high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit and can change
the values of SRWD, BP3, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP1, BP0, is at software
protected mode (SPM).
- When SRWD bit=1 and WP# is high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit can change the values of
SRWD, BP3, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP1, BP0, is at software protected mode (SPM)
Note:
If SRWD bit=1 but WP# 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.
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM):
- When SRWD bit=1, and then WP# is low (or WP# 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, BP1, BP0 and
hardware protected mode by the WP# to against data modification.
Note:
To exit the hardware protected mode requires WP# driving high once the hardware protected mode is entered. If
the WP# pin is permanently connected to high, the hardware protected mode can never be entered; only can use
software protected mode via BP3, BP1, BP0.

9-8. 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→send 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.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, READ instruction is rejected without any impact on
the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

9-9. 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.
The sequence of issuing FAST_READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ send 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.
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.

9-10. Dual Read Mode (DREAD)
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 → send DREAD instruction → 3-byte address on
SI → 8-bit dummy cycle → data out interleave on SIO1 & SIO0 → to end DREAD operation can use CS# to
high at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, DREAD instruction is rejected without any
impact on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

9-11. 2 x I/O Read Mode (2READ)
The 2READ instruction enables Double Transfer Rate 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 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→ send 2READ instruction→ 24-bit address interleave
on SIO1 & SIO0→ 4-bit dummy cycle on SIO1 & SIO0→ data out interleave on SIO1 & SIO0→ to end 2READ
operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, 2READ instruction is rejected without any impact

9-12. 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 be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit
before sending the Sector Erase (SE). Any address of the sector (Please refer to "Table 2. Memory Organization")
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→ send SE instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→ CS#
goes high.
The SIO[1:0] are "don't care".
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 during the Sector Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the
tSE timing, and sets 0 when Sector Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. If the

9-16. 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→ send PP instruction code→ 3-byte address on SI→ at
least 1-byte on data on SI→ CS# goes high.
The CS# must be kept 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 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, BP1, BP0 bits, the Page Program (PP) instruction will not be executed.

9-17. Deep Power-down (DP)
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction places the device into a minimum power consumption state, Deep Powerdown mode, in which the quiescent current is reduced from ISB1 to ISB2.
The sequence of issuing DP instruction: CS# goes low→ send DP instruction code→ CS# goes high. The CS# must
go high at the byte boundary (after exactly eighth bits of the instruction code have been latched-in); otherwise the
instruction will not be executed. The SIO[1:0] are "don't care".
After CS# goes high there is a delay of tDP before the device transitions from Stand-by mode to Deep Powerdown
mode and before the current reduces from ISB1 to ISB2. Once in Deep Power-down mode, all instructions will be
ignored except Release from Deep Power-down (RDP).
The device exits Deep Power-down mode and returns to Stand-by mode if it receives a Release from Deep Powerdown (RDP) instruction, power-cycle, or reset. Please refer to "Figure 25. Release from Deep Power-down (RDP)
Sequence".

9-18. 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 standby Power mode. If the device was not previously in the
Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the standby Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in the
Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the standby Power mode is delayed by tRES1, and Chip Select (CS#)
must remain High for at least tRES1(max). Once in the standby mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can
receive, decode and execute instructions.
RES instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as "Table 4. 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. The RDP and RES are allowed to execute in Deep power-down mode, except if the
device is in progress of program/erase/write cycle; In this case, there is no effect on the current program/erase/write
cycle that is in progress.
The SIO[1:0] are don't care during this mode.
The RES instruction ends when 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 receive, decode, and execute
instruction.
The RDP instruction is for releasing from Deep Power-down Mode.

9-19. 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.
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.

10. POWER-ON STATE
The device is at the following 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 until the VCC reaches the following levels:
- 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 "Figure 34. Power-up Timing".
Notes:
- 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 this stage if a write, program, erase cycle is in progress.
