1. RESET# or HOLD# signals can share ball D4 with DQ3, depending on the selected device
(see Part Numbering Ordering Information). When using single and dual I/O commands
on these parts, DQ3 must be driven HIGH by the host, or an external pull-up resistor
must be placed on the PCB, in order to avoid allowing the HOLD# or RESET# input to
float.
2. Ball A4 = RESET# or DNU, depending on the part number. This signal has an internal
pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected if not used.

Signal Descriptions
Signal Descriptions
The signal description table below is a comprehensive list of signals for the MT25Q family devices. All signals listed may not be supported on this device. See Signal Assignments for information specific to this device.
Table 1: Signal Descriptions
Symbol
Type
Description
S#
Input
Chip select: When S# is driven HIGH, the device will enter standby mode, unless an internal
PROGRAM, ERASE, or WRITE STATUS REGISTER cycle is in progress. All other input pins are ignored and the output pins are tri-stated. On parts with the pin configuration offering a dedicated RESET# pin, however, the RESET# input pin remains active even when S# is HIGH.
Driving S# LOW enables the device, placing it in the active mode.
After power-up, a falling edge on S# is required prior to the start of any command.
C
Input
Clock: Provides the timing of the serial interface. Command inputs are latched on the rising
edge of the clock. In STR commands or protocol, address and data inputs are latched on the
rising edge of the clock, while data is output on the falling edge of the clock. In DTR commands or protocol, address and data inputs are latched on both edges of the clock, and data is
output on both edges of the clock.
RESET#
Input
RESET#: When RESET# is driven LOW, the device is reset and the outputs are tri-stated. If RESET# is driven LOW while an internal WRITE, PROGRAM, or ERASE operation is in progress, data may be lost. The RESET# functionality can be disabled using bit 4 of the nonvolatile configuration register or bit 4 of the enhanced volatile configuration register.
For pin configurations that share the DQ3 pin with RESET#, the RESET# functionality is disabled
in QIO-SPI mode.
HOLD#
Input
HOLD: Pauses serial communications with the device without deselecting or resetting the device. Outputs are tri-stated and inputs are ignored. The HOLD# functionality can be disabled
using bit 4 of the nonvolatile configuration register or bit 4 of the enhanced volatile configuration register.
For pin configurations that share the DQ3 pin with HOLD#, the HOLD# functionality is disabled
in QIO-SPI mode or when DTR operation is enabled.
W#
Input
DQ[3:0]
I/O
Write protect: Freezes the status register in conjunction with the enable/disable bit of the status register. When the enable/disable bit of the status register is set to 1 and the W# signal is
driven LOW, the status register nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER operation will not execute. During the extended-SPI protocol with QOFR and QIOFR instructions, and with QIO-SPI protocol, this pin function is an input/output as DQ2 functionality.
This signal does not have internal pull-ups, it cannot be left floating and must be driven, even
if none of W#/DQ2 function is used.
Serial I/O: The bidirectional DQ signals transfer address, data, and command information.
When using legacy (x1) SPI commands in extended I/O protocol (XIO-SPI), DQ0 is an input and
DQ1 is an output. DQ[3:2] are not used.
When using dual commands in XIO-SPI or when using DIO-SPI, DQ[1:0] are I/O. DQ[3:2] are not
used.
When using quad commands in XIO-SPI or when using QIO-SPI, DQ[3:0] are I/O.

Status Register
Status Register
Status register bits can be read from or written to using READ STATUS REGISTER or
WRITE STATUS REGISTER commands, respectively. When the status register enable/
disable bit (bit 7) is set to 1 and W# is driven LOW, the status register nonvolatile bits
become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER operation will not execute. The
only way to exit this hardware-protected mode is to drive W# HIGH.

Extended Address Register
Extended Address Register
The 3-byte address mode can only access 128Mb of memory. To access the full device in
3-byte address mode, the device includes an extended address register that indirectly
provides a fourth address byte A[31:25]. The extended address register bit A0 operates as
memory address bit A24 to select one of the two 128Mb segments of the memory array.
If 4-byte addressing is enabled, the extended address register settings are ignored.

The PROGRAM and ERASE operations act upon the 128Mb segment selected in the extended address register. The BULK ERASE operation erases the entire device.
The READ operation begins reading in the selected 128Mb segment, but is not bound
by it.
In a continuous READ, when the last byte of the segment is read, the next byte output is
the first byte of the next segment. The operation wraps to 0000000h; therefore, a download of the whole array is possible with one READ operation.
The value of the extended address register does not change when a READ operation
crosses the selected 128Mb boundary.

Notes
1. Bits 2 and 1 are user-configurable, one-time-programmable, and mutually exclusive in
that only one of them can be set to 0. It is recommended that one of the bits be set to 0
when first programming the device.
2. The 64-bit password must be programmed and verified before this bit is set to 0 because
after it is set, password changes are not allowed, thus providing protection from malicious software. When this bit is set to 0, a 64-bit password is required to reset the global
freeze bit from 0 to 1. In addition, if the password is incorrect or lost, the global freeze
bit can no longer be set and nonvolatile lock bits cannot be changed. (See the Sector
and Password Protection figure and the Global Freeze Bit Definition table).
3. Whether this bit is set to 1 or 0, it enables programming or erasing nonvolatile lock bits
(which provide memory sector protection). The password protection bit must be set beforehand because setting this bit will either enable password protection permanently
(bit 2 = 0) or disable password protection permanently (bit 1 = 0).
4. By default, all sectors are unlocked when the device is shipped from the factory. Sectors
are locked, unlocked, read, or locked down as explained in the Nonvolatile and Volatile
Lock Bits table and the Volatile Lock Bit Register Bit Definitions table.

changed without the password. After the password is entered, the UNLOCK PASSWORD
command resets this bit to 1, enabling programing or erasing the nonvolatile lock bits.
After the bits are changed, the WRITE GLOBAL FREEZE BIT command sets this bit to 0,
protecting the nonvolatile lock bits from PROGRAM or ERASE operations.

Nonvolatile Lock Bit
Volatile Lock Bit
Description
Each sector of memory has one corresponding nonvolatile lock bit
Each sector of memory has one corresponding volatile lock bit; this bit is the sector write lock bit described in the Volatile Lock Bit Register table.
Function
When set to 0, locks and protects its corresponding
memory sector from PROGRAM or ERASE operations.
Because this bit is nonvolatile, the sector remains
locked, protection enabled, until the bit is cleared to
1.
When set to 1, locks and protects its corresponding
memory sector from PROGRAM or ERASE operations.
Because this bit is volatile, protection is temporary.
The sector is unlocked, protection disabled, upon device reset or power-down.
Settings
1 = Lock disabled
0 = Lock enabled
0 = Lock disabled
1 = Lock enabled
Enabling
protection
The bit is set to 0 by the WRITE NONVOLATILE LOCK
BITS command, enabling protection for designated
locked sectors. Programming a sector lock bit requires the typical byte programming time.
The bit is set to 1 by the WRITE VOLATILE LOCK BITS
command, enabling protection for designated locked
sectors.
Disabling
protection
All bits are cleared to 1 by the ERASE NONVOLATILE
LOCK BITS command, unlocking and disabling protection for all sectors simultaneously. Erasing all sector lock bits requires typical sector erase time.
All bits are set to 0 upon reset or power-down, unlocking and disabling protection for all sectors.
Reading
the bit
Bits are read by the READ NONVOLATILE LOCK BITS
command.
Bits are read by the READ VOLATILE LOCK BITS command.
Volatile Lock Bit Security Register
One volatile lock bit register is associated with each sector of memory. It enables the
sector to be locked, unlocked, or locked-down with the WRITE VOLATILE LOCK BITS
command, which executes only when sector lock down (bit 1) is set to 0. Each register
can be read with the READ VOLATILE LOCK BITS command. This register is compatible
with and provides the same locking capability as the lock register in the Micron N25Q
SPI NOR family.

Serial Flash Discovery Parameter Data
Serial Flash Discovery Parameter Data
The serial Flash discovery parameter (SFDP) provides a standard, consistent method to
describe serial Flash device functions and features using internal parameter tables. The
parameter tables can be interrogated by host system software, enabling adjustments to
accommodate divergent features from multiple vendors. The SFDP standard defines a
common parameter table that describes important device characteristics and serial access methods used to read the parameter table data.
Micron's SFDP table information aligns with JEDEC-standard JESD216 for serial Flash
discoverable parameters. The latest JEDEC standard includes revision 1.6. Beginning
week 42 (2014), Micron's MT25Q production parts will include SFDP data that aligns
with revision 1.6.
Refer to JEDEC-standard JESD216B for a complete overview of the SFDP table definition.
Data in the SFDP tables is read by the READ SERIAL FLASH DISCOVERY PARAMETER
operation.
See Micron TN-25-06: Serial Flash Discovery Parameters for MT25Q Family for serial
Flash discovery parameter data.

1. Micron extended SPI protocol is the standard SPI protocol with additional commands
that extend functionality and enable address or data transmission on multiple DQn
lines.
2. The command code is always transmitted on DQn = 1, 2, or 4 lines according to the
standard, dual, or quad protocol respectively. However, a command may be able to
transmit address and data on multiple DQn lines regardless of protocol. The protocol
columns show the number of DQn lines a command uses to transmit command, address,
and data information as shown in these examples: command-address-data = 1-1-1, or
1-2-2, or 2-4-4, and so on.
3. The READ SERIAL FLASH DISCOVERY PARAMETER operation accepts only 3-byte address
even if the device is configured to 4-byte address mode.
4. Requires 4 bytes of address if the device is configured to 4-byte address mode.
5. The number of dummy clock cycles required when shipped from Micron factories. The
user can modify the dummy clock cycle number via the nonvolatile configuration register and the volatile configuration register.
6. The number of dummy cycles for the READ GENERAL PURPOSE READ REGISTER command is fixed (8 dummy cycles) and is not affected by dummy cycle settings in the nonvolatile configuration register and volatile configuration register.
7. The general purpose read register is 64 bytes. After the first 64 bytes, the device outputs
00h and does not wrap.
8. The WRITE ENABLE command must be issued first before this operation can be executed.
9. Formerly referred to as the READ LOCK REGISTER operation.
10. Formerly referred to as the WRITE LOCK REGISTER operation.

Software RESET Operations
Software RESET Operations
RESET ENABLE and RESET MEMORY Commands
To initiate these commands, S# is driven LOW and the command code is input on DQn.
A minimum de-selection time of tSHSL2 must come between RESET ENABLE and RESET MEMORY or reset is not guaranteed. Then, S# must be driven HIGH for the device
to enter power-on reset. A time of tSHSL3 is required before the device can be re-selected by driving S# LOW.
Table 20: RESET ENABLE and RESET MEMORY Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
RESET ENABLE (66h)
To reset the device, the RESET ENABLE command must be followed by the RESET MEMORY
command. When the two commands are executed, the device enters a power-on reset condition. It is recommended to exit XIP mode before executing these two commands.
All volatile lock bits, the volatile configuration register, the enhanced volatile configuration register, and the extended address register are reset to the power-on reset default
condition according to nonvolatile configuration register settings.
If a reset is initiated while a WRITE, PROGRAM, or ERASE operation is in progress or suspended, the operation is aborted and data may be corrupted.
Reset is effective after the flag status register bit 7 outputs 1 with at least one byte output.
A RESET ENABLE command is not accepted during WRITE STATUS REGISTER and WRITE
NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER operations.

1. Above timing diagram is showed for Extended-SPI Protocol case, however these commands are available in all protocols. In DIO-SPI protocol, the instruction bits are transmitted on both DQ0 and DQ1 pins. In QIO-SPI protocol the instruction bits are transmitted on all four data pins. In Extended-DTR-SPI protocol, the instruction bits are transmitted on DQ0 pin in double transfer rate mode. In DIO-DTR-SPI protocol, the instruction
bits are transmitted on both DQ0 and DQ1 pins in double transfer rate mode. In QIODTR-SPI protocol, the instruction bits are transmitted on all four data pins in double
transfer rate mode.

READ SERIAL FLASH DISCOVERY PARAMETER Operation
READ SERIAL FLASH DISCOVERY PARAMETER Operation
READ SERIAL FLASH DISCOVERY PARAMETER Command
To execute READ SERIAL FLASH DISCOVERY PARAMETER command, S# is driven
LOW. The command code is input on DQ0, followed by three address bytes and eight
dummy clock cycles (address is always 3 bytes, even if the device is configured to work
in 4-byte address mode). The device outputs the information starting from the specified
address. When the 2048-byte boundary is reached, the data output wraps to address 0 of
the serial Flash discovery parameter table. The operation is terminated by driving S#
HIGH at any time during data output.
Note: The operation always executes in continuous mode so the read burst wrap setting
in the volatile configuration register does not apply.

READ MEMORY Operations
READ MEMORY Operations
To initiate a command, S# is driven LOW and the command code is input on DQn, followed by input of the address bytes on DQn. The operation is terminated by driving S#
HIGH at any time during data output.
Table 22: READ MEMORY Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
READ (03h)
The device supports 3-byte addressing (default), with A[23:0] input during
address cycle. After any READ command is executed, the device will output data from the selected address. After the boundary is reached, the
device will start reading again from the beginning.
Each address bit is latched in during the rising edge of the clock. The addressed byte can be at any location, and the address automatically increments to the next address after each byte of data is shifted out; therefore, a die can be read with a single command.
FAST READ can operate at a higher frequency (fC).
DTR commands function in DTR protocol regardless of settings in the
nonvolatile configuration register or enhanced volatile configuration register; other commands function in DTR protocol only after DTR protocol is
enabled by the register settings.
E7h is similar to the QUAD I/O FAST READ command except that the lowest address bit (A0) must equal 0 and only four dummy clocks are required prior to the data output. This command is supported in extendedSPI and quad-SPI protocols, but not in the DTR protocol; it is ignored it in
dual-SPI protocol.

WRITE ENABLE/DISABLE Operations
WRITE ENABLE/DISABLE Operations
To initiate a command, S# is driven LOW and held LOW until the eighth bit of the command code has been latched in, after which it must be driven HIGH. For extended-, dual-, and quad-SPI protocols respectively, the command code is input on DQ0, DQ[1:0],
and DQ[3:0]. If S# is not driven HIGH after the command code has been latched in, the
command is not executed, flag status register error bits are not set, and the write enable
latch remains cleared to its default setting of 0, providing protection against errant data
modification.
Table 24: WRITE ENABLE/DISABLE Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
WRITE ENABLE (06h)
Sets the write enable latch bit before each PROGRAM, ERASE, and WRITE command.
WRITE DISABLE (04h)
Clears the write enable latch bit. In case of a protection error, WRITE DISABLE will not clear the
bit. Instead, a CLEAR FLAG STATUS REGISTER command must be issued to clear both flags.

READ REGISTER Operations
To initiate a command, S# is driven LOW. For extended SPI protocol, input is on DQ0,
output on DQ1. For dual SPI protocol, input/output is on DQ[1:0] and for quad SPI protocol, input/output is on DQ[3:0]. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH at
any time during data output.
Table 25: READ REGISTER Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
READ STATUS REGISTER (05h)
READ FLAG STATUS REGISTER (70h)
Can be read continuously and at any time, including during a PROGRAM, ERASE, or WRITE operation. If one of these operations is in
progress, checking the write in progress bit or P/E controller bit is
recommended before executing the command.
Note
READ NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION
REGISTER (B5h)
Can be read continuously. After all 16 bits of the register have been
read, a 0 is output. All reserved fields output a value of 1.
READ VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER (85h)
When the register is read continuously, the same byte is output repeatedly.

2. A READ NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER operation will output data starting

3. S# not shown.
WRITE REGISTER Operations
Before a WRITE REGISTER command is initiated, the WRITE ENABLE command must
be executed to set the write enable latch bit to 1. To initiate a command, S# is driven
LOW and held LOW until the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in, after
which it must be driven HIGH; for the WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, S# is held LOW until the 16th bit of the last data byte has been latched
in. For the extended, dual, and quad SPI protocols respectively, input is on DQ0,
DQ[1:0], and DQ[3:0], followed by the data bytes. If S# is not driven HIGH, the command is not executed, flag status register error bits are not set, and the write enable
latch remains set to 1. The operation is self-timed and its duration is tW for WRITE STATUS REGISTER and tNVCR for WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER.
Table 26: WRITE REGISTER Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
WRITE STATUS REGISTER (01h)
The WRITE STATUS REGISTER command writes new values to status
register bits 7:2, enabling software data protection. The status register can also be combined with the W# signal to provide hardware
data protection. This command has no effect on status register bits
1:0.
Note
WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION
REGISTER (B1h)
For the WRITE STATUS REGISTER and WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER commands, when the operation is in progress,
the write in progress bit is set to 1. The write enable latch bit is
cleared to 0, whether the operation is successful or not. The status
register and flag status register can be polled for the operation status. When the operation completes, the write in progress bit is
cleared to 0, whether the operation is successful or not.
WRITE VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER (81h)
Because register bits are volatile, change to the bits is immediate.
Reserved bits are not affected by this command.

PROGRAM Operations
PROGRAM Operations
Before a PROGRAM command is initiated, the WRITE ENABLE command must be executed to set the write enable latch bit to 1. To initiate a command, S# is driven LOW and
held LOW until the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in, after which it
must be driven HIGH. If S# is not driven HIGH, the command is not executed, flag status register error bits are not set, and the write enable latch remains set to 1. Each address bit is latched in during the rising edge of the clock. When a command is applied to
a protected sector, the command is not executed, the write enable latch bit remains set
to 1, and flag status register bits 1 and 4 are set. If the operation times out, the write enable latch bit is reset and the program fail bit is set to 1.
Note: The manner of latching data shown and explained in the timing diagrams ensures
that the number of clock pulses is a multiple of one byte before command execution,
helping reduce the effects of noisy or undesirable signals and enhancing device data
protection.
Table 28: PROGRAM Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
PAGE PROGRAM (02h)
A PROGRAM operation changes a bit from 1 to 0.
When the operation is in progress, the write in progress bit is set to 1.
The write enable latch bit is cleared to 0, whether the operation is successful or not. The status register and flag status register can be polled
for the operation status. When the operation completes, the write in
progress bit is cleared to 0. An operation can be paused or resumed by
the PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND or PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME command,
respectively.
If the bits of the least significant address, which is the starting address,
are not all zero, all data transmitted beyond the end of the current
page is programmed from the starting address of the same page. If the
number of bytes sent to the device exceed the maximum page size, previously latched data is discarded and only the last maximum page-size
number of data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If the number of bytes sent to the device is less than
the maximum page size, they are correctly programmed at the specified
addresses without any effect on the other bytes of the same page.

ERASE Operations
ERASE Operations
An ERASE operation changes a bit from 0 to 1. Before any ERASE command is initiated,
the WRITE ENABLE command must be executed to set the write enable latch bit to 1; if
not, the device ignores the command and no error bits are set to indicate operation failure. S# is driven LOW and held LOW until the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in, after which it must be driven HIGH. The operations are self-timed, and duration is tSSE, tSE, or tBE according to command.
If S# is not driven HIGH, the command is not executed, flag status register error bits are
not set, and the write enable latch remains set to 1. A command applied to a protected
subsector is not executed. Instead, the write enable latch bit remains set to 1, and flag
status register bits 1 and 5 are set.
When the operation is in progress, the program or erase controller bit of the flag status
register is set to 0. In addition, the write in progress bit is set to 1. When the operation
completes, the write in progress bit is cleared to 0. The write enable latch bit is cleared
to 0, whether the operation is successful or not. If the operation times out, the write enable latch bit is reset and the erase error bit is set to 1.
The status register and flag status register can be polled for the operation status. When
the operation completes, these register bits are cleared to 1.
Note: For all ERASE operations, noisy or undesirable signal effects can be reduced and
device data protection enhanced by holding S# LOW until the eighth bit of the last data
byte has been latched in; this ensures that the number of clock pulses is a multiple of
one byte before command execution.
Table 30: ERASE Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
SUBSECTOR ERASE (52h/20h)
Sets the selected subsector or sector bits to FFh. Any address within the subsector is valid

SUSPEND/RESUME Operations
SUSPEND/RESUME Operations
PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND Operations
A PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND command enables the memory controller to interrupt
and suspend an array PROGRAM or ERASE operation within the program/erase latency.
To initiate the command, S# is driven LOW, and the command code is input on DQn.
The operation is terminated by the PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME command.
For a PROGRAM SUSPEND, the flag status register bit 2 is set to 1. For an ERASE SUSPEND, the flag status register bit 6 is set to 1.
After an erase/program latency time, the flag status register bit 7 is also set to 1, but the
device is considered in suspended state once bit 7 of the flag status register outputs 1
with at least one byte output. In the suspended state, the device is waiting for any operation.
If the time remaining to complete the operation is less than the suspend latency, the device completes the operation and clears the flag status register bits 2 or 6, as applicable.
Because the suspend state is volatile, if there is a power cycle, the suspend state information is lost and the flag status register powers up as 80h.
It is possible to nest a PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND operation inside a PROGRAM/
ERASE SUSPEND operation just once. Issue an ERASE command and suspend it. Then
issue a PROGRAM command and suspend it also. With the two operations suspended,
the next PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME command resumes the latter operation, and a second PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME command resumes the former (or first) operation.
PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME Operations
A PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME operation terminates the PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME
command. To initiate the command, S# is driven LOW, and the command code is input
on DQn. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH.
Table 31: SUSPEND/RESUME Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
PROGRAM SUSPEND (75h)
A READ operation is possible in any page except the one in a suspended state. Reading
from a sector that is in a suspended state will output indeterminate data.
ERASE SUSPEND (75h)
A PROGRAM or READ operation is possible in any sector except the one in a suspended
state. Reading from a sector that is in a suspended state will output indeterminate data.
During a SUSPEND SUBSECTOR ERASE operation, reading an address in the sector that
contains the suspended subsector could output indeterminate data.
The device ignores a PROGRAM command to a sector that is in an erase suspend state; it
also sets the flag status register bit 4 to 1 (program failure/protection error) and leaves
the write enable latch bit unchanged.
When the ERASE resumes, it does not check the new lock status of the WRITE VOLATILE
LOCK BITS command.

READ OTP ARRAY Command
To initiate a READ OTP ARRAY command, S# is driven LOW. The command code is input on DQ0, followed by address bytes and dummy clock cycles. Each address bit is
latched in during the rising edge of C. Data is shifted out on DQ1, beginning from the
specified address and at a maximum frequency of fC (MAX) on the falling edge of the
clock. The address increments automatically to the next address after each byte of data
is shifted out. There is no rollover mechanism; therefore, if read continuously, after location 0x40, the device continues to output data at location 0x40. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH at any time during data output.

PROGRAM OTP ARRAY Command
To initiate the PROGRAM OTP ARRAY command, the WRITE ENABLE command must
be issued to set the write enable latch bit to 1; otherwise, the PROGRAM OTP ARRAY
command is ignored and flag status register bits are not set. S# is driven LOW and held
LOW until the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in, after which it must be
driven HIGH. The command code is input on DQ0, followed by address bytes and at
least one data byte. Each address bit is latched in during the rising edge of the clock.
When S# is driven HIGH, the operation, which is self-timed, is initiated; its duration is
tPOTP. There is no rollover mechanism; therefore, after a maximum of 65 bytes are
latched in the subsequent bytes are discarded.
PROGRAM OTP ARRAY programs, at most, 64 bytes to the OTP memory area and one
OTP control byte. When the operation is in progress, the write in progress bit is set to 1.

The write enable latch bit is cleared to 0, whether the operation is successful or not, and
the status register and flag status register can be polled for the operation status. When
the operation completes, the write in progress bit is cleared to 0.
If the operation times out, the write enable latch bit is reset and the program fail bit is

bits are not set, and the write enable latch remains set to 1. The operation is considered
complete once bit 7 of the flag status register outputs 1 with at least one byte output.
The OTP control byte (byte 64) is used to permanently lock the OTP memory array.

ADDRESS MODE Operations
ADDRESS MODE Operations
ENTER and EXIT 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE Command
To initiate these commands, S# is driven LOW, and the command is input on DQn.
Table 33: ENTER and EXIT 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
ENTER 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE (B7h)
The effect of the command is immediate. The default address mode is three bytes,
and the device returns to the default upon exiting the 4-byte address mode.
EXIT 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE (E9h)
DEEP POWER-DOWN Operations
ENTER DEEP POWER-DOWN Command
To execute ENTER DEEP POWER-DOWN, S# must be driven HIGH after the eighth bit
of the command code is latched in, after which, tDP time must elapse before the supply
current is reduced to ICC2.. Any attempt to execute ENTER DEEP POWER-DOWN during
a WRITE operation is rejected without affecting the operation.
In deep power-down mode, no device error bits are set, the WEL state is unchanged,
and the device ignores all commands except RELEASE FROM DEEP POWER-DOWN,
RESET ENABLE, RESET, hardware reset, and power-loss rescue sequence commands.
RELEASE FROM DEEP POWER-DOWN Command
To execute the RELEASE FROM DEEP POWER-DOWN command, S# is driven LOW, followed by the command code. Sending additional clock cycles on C while S# is driven
LOW voids the command.
RELEASE FROM DEEP POWER-DOWN is terminated by driving S# HIGH. The device
enters standby mode after S# is driven HIGH followed by a delay of tRDP. S# must remain HIGH during this time.
Table 34: DEEP POWER-DOWN Operations
Operation Name
Description/Conditions
ENTER DEEP
POWER-DOWN (B9h)
The command is used to place the device in deep power-down mode for the lowest device
power consumption, with device current reduced to ICC2. This command can also be used as
a software protection mechanism while the device is not in active use.
RELEASE FROM
DEEP POWER-DOWN (ABh)
The command is used to exit from deep power-down mode. The device also exits deep
power-down mode upon:
A power-down, entering standby mode with the next power-up.
A hardware or software reset operation, entering standby mode with a recovery time as
specified in the AC Reset Specifications.

CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK Operations
CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK Operations
A CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK (CRC) operation is a hash function designed to detect accidental changes to raw data and is used commonly in digital networks and storage devices such as hard disk drives. A CRC-enabled device calculates a short, fixedlength binary sequence, known as the CRC code or just CRC, for each block of data. CRC
can be a higher performance alternative to reading data directly in order to verify recently programmed data. Or, it can be used to check periodically the data integrity of a
large block of data against a stored CRC reference over the life of the product. CRC helps
improve test efficiency for programmer or burn-in stress tests. No system hardware
changes are required to enable CRC.
The CRC-64 operation follows the ECMA standard. The generating polynomial is:
G(x) = x64 + x62 + x57 + x55 + x54 + x53 + x52 + x47 + x46 + x45 + x40 + x39 + x38 + x37 + x35 + x33
+ x32 + x31 + x29 + x27 + x24 + x23 + x22 + x21 + x19 + x17 + x13 + x12 + x10 + x9 + x7 + x4 + x + 1
Note: The data stream sequence is from LSB to MSB and the default initial CRC value is
all zero.
The device CRC operation generates the CRC result of the entire device or of an address
range specified by the operation. Then the CRC result is compared with the expected
CRC data provided in the sequence. Finally the device indicates a pass or fail through
the bit #4 of FLAG STATUS REGISTER. If the CRC fails, it is possible to take corrective
action such as verifying with a normal read mode or by rewriting the array data.
CRC operation supports CRC data read back when CRC check fails; the CRC data generated from the target address range or entire device will be stored in a dedicated register:
general purpose read register (GPRR) only when CRC check fails, and it can be read out
through the GPRR read sequence with command 96h, least significant byte first. GPRR
is reset to default all 0 at the beginning of the CRC operation, and so customer will read
all 0 if CRC operation pass.
Note that the GPRR is a volatile register. It is cleared to all 0s on power-up and hardware/software reset. Read GPRR starts from the first location, when clocked continuously, will output 00h after location 64.
The CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK operation command sequences are shown in the
tables below, for an entire die or for a selected range.

State Table
State Table
The device can be in only one state at a time. Depending on the state of the device,
some operations as shown in the table below are allowed (Yes) and others are not (No).
For example, when the device is in the standby state, all operations except SUSPEND
are allowed in any sector. For all device states except the erase suspend state, if an operation is allowed or disallowed in one sector, it is allowed or disallowed in all other sectors. In the erase suspend state, a PROGRAM operation is allowed in any sector except
the one in which an ERASE operation has been suspended.

XIP Mode
XIP Mode
Execute-in-place (XIP) mode allows the memory to be read by sending an address to the
device and then receiving the data on one, two, or four pins in parallel, depending on
the customer requirements. XIP mode offers maximum flexibility to the application,
saves instruction overhead, and reduces random access time.
Activate and Terminate XIP Using Volatile Configuration Register
Applications that boot in SPI and must switch to XIP use the volatile configuration register. XIP provides faster memory READ operations by requiring only an address to execute, rather than a command code and an address.
To activate XIP requires two steps. First, enable XIP by setting volatile configuration register bit 3 to 0. Next, drive the XIP confirmation bit to 0 during the next FAST READ operation. XIP is then active. Once in XIP, any command that occurs after S# is toggled requires only address bits to execute; a command code is not necessary, and device operations use the SPI protocol that is enabled. XIP is terminated by driving the XIP confirmation bit to 1. The device automatically resets volatile configuration register bit 3 to 1.
Activate and Terminate XIP Using Nonvolatile Configuration Register
Applications that must boot directly in XIP use the nonvolatile configuration register. To
enable a device to power-up in XIP using this register, set nonvolatile configuration register bits [11:9]. Settings vary according to protocol, as explained in the Nonvolatile
Configuration Register section. Because the device boots directly in XIP, after the power
cycle, no command code is necessary. XIP is terminated by driving the XIP confirmation
bit to 1.
