128Mb, 3V, Multiple I/O Serial Flash Memory
Device Description
Device Description
The N25Q is the first high-performance multiple input/output serial Flash memory device manufactured on 65nm NOR technology. It features execute-in-place (XIP) functionality, advanced write protection mechanisms, and a high-speed SPI-compatible bus
interface. The innovative, high-performance, dual and quad input/output instructions
enable double or quadruple the transfer bandwidth for READ and PROGRAM operations.
Features
The memory is organized as 256 (64KB) main sectors that are further divided into 16
subsectors each (4096 subsectors in total). The memory can be erased one 4KB subsector at a time, 64KB sectors at a time, or as a whole.
The memory can be write protected by software through volatile and nonvolatile protection features, depending on the application needs. The protection granularity is of
64KB (sector granularity) for volatile protections
The device has 64 one-time programmable (OTP) bytes that can be read and programmed with the READ OTP and PROGRAM OTP commands. These 64 bytes can also be
permanently locked with a PROGRAM OTP command.
The device also has the ability to pause and resume PROGRAM and ERASE cycles by using dedicated PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND and RESUME instructions.
Operating Protocols
The memory can be operated with three different protocols:
• Extended SPI (standard SPI protocol upgraded with dual and quad operations)
• Dual I/O SPI
• Quad I/O SPI
The standard SPI protocol is extended and enhanced by dual and quad operations. In
addition, the dual SPI and quad SPI protocols improve the data access time and
throughput of a single I/O device by transmitting commands, addresses, and data
across two or four data lines.
XIP Mode
XIP mode requires only an address (no instruction) to output data, improving random
access time and eliminating the need to shadow code onto RAM for fast execution.
All protocols support XIP operation. For flexibility, multiple XIP entry and exit methods
are available. For applications that must enter XIP mode immediately after powering
up, XIP mode can be set as the default mode through the nonvolatile configuration register bits.

Signal Descriptions
Signal Descriptions
The signal description table below is a comprehensive list of signals for the N25 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
C
Input
Clock: Provides the timing of the serial interface. Commands, addresses, or data present at serial data inputs are latched on the rising edge of the clock. Data is shifted out on the falling
edge of the clock.
S#
Input
Chip select: When S# is HIGH, the device is deselected and DQ1 is at High-Z. When in extended SPI mode, with the device deselected, DQ1 is tri-stated. Unless an internal PROGRAM,
ERASE, or WRITE STATUS REGISTER cycle is in progress, the device enters standby power mode
(not deep power-down mode). Driving S# LOW enables the device, placing it in the active power mode. After power-up, a falling edge on S# is required prior to the start of any command.
DQ0
Input
and I/O
Serial data: Transfers data serially into the device. It receives command codes, addresses, and
the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of the clock. DQ0 is used for
input/output during the following operations: DUAL OUTPUT FAST READ, QUAD OUTPUT FAST
READ, DUAL INPUT/OUTPUT FAST READ, and QUAD INPUT/OUTPUT FAST READ. When used for
output, data is shifted out on the falling edge of the clock.
In DIO-SPI, DQ0 always acts as an input/output.
In QIO-SPI, DQ0 always acts as an input/output, with the exception of the PROGRAM or ERASE
cycle performed with VPP. The device temporarily enters the extended SPI protocol and then returns to QIO-SPI as soon as VPP goes LOW.
DQ1
Output
and I/O
Serial data:Transfers data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of
the clock. DQ1 is used for input/output during the following operations: DUAL INPUT FAST
PROGRAM, QUAD INPUT FAST PROGRAM, DUAL INPUT EXTENDED FAST PROGRAM, and QUAD
INPUT EXTENDED FAST PROGRAM. When used for input, data is latched on the rising edge of
the clock.
In DIO-SPI, DQ1 always acts as an input/output.
In QIO-SPI, DQ1 always acts as an input/output, with the exception of the PROGRAM or ERASE
cycle performed with the enhanced program supply voltage (VPP). In this case the device temporarily enters the extended SPI protocol and then returns to QIO-SPI as soon as VPP goes LOW.
DQ2
Input
and I/O
DQ2: When in QIO-SPI mode or in extended SPI mode using QUAD FAST READ commands, the
signal functions as DQ2, providing input/output.
All data input drivers are always enabled except when used as an output. Micron recommends
customers drive the data signals normally (to avoid unnecessary switching current) and float
the signals before the memory device drives data on them.
DQ3
Input
and I/O
DQ3: When in quad SPI mode or in extended SPI mode using quad FAST READ commands, the
signal functions as DQ3, providing input/output. HOLD# is disabled and RESET# is disabled if
the device is selected.
RESET#
Control
Input
RESET: This is a hardware RESET# signal. When RESET# is driven HIGH, the memory is in the
normal operating mode. When RESET# is driven LOW, the memory enters reset mode and output is High-Z. If RESET# is driven LOW while an internal WRITE, PROGRAM, or ERASE operation
is in progress, data may be lost.

(output) is High-Z. DQ0 (input) and the clock are "Don't Care." To enable HOLD, the device
must be selected with S# driven LOW.
HOLD# is used for input/output during the following operations: QUAD OUTPUT FAST READ,
QUAD INPUT/OUTPUT FAST READ, QUAD INPUT FAST PROGRAM, and QUAD INPUT EXTENDED
FAST PROGRAM.
In QIO-SPI, HOLD# acts as an I/O (DQ3 functionality), and the HOLD# functionality is disabled
when the device is selected. When the device is deselected (S# is HIGH) in parts with RESET#
functionality, it is possible to reset the device unless this functionality is not disabled by means
of dedicated registers bits.
The HOLD# functionality can be disabled using bit 4 of the NVCR or bit 4 of the VECR.
On devices that include DTR mode capability, the HOLD# functionality is disabled as soon as a
DTR operation is recognized.
W#
Control
Input
Write protect: W# can be used as a protection control input or in QIO-SPI operations. When in
extended SPI with single or dual commands, the WRITE PROTECT function is selectable by the
voltage range applied to the signal. If voltage range is low (0V to VCC), the signal acts as a
write protection control input. The memory size protected against PROGRAM or ERASE operations is locked as specified in the status register block protect bits 3:0.
W# is used as an input/output (DQ2 functionality) during QUAD INPUT FAST READ and QUAD
INPUT/OUTPUT FAST READ operations and in QIO-SPI.
VPP
Power
Supply voltage: If VPP is in the voltage range of VPPH, the signal acts as an additional power
supply, as defined in the AC Measurement Conditions table.
During QIFP, QIEFP, and QIO-SPI PROGRAM/ERASE operations, it is possible to use the additional VPP power supply to speed up internal operations. However, to enable this functionality, it is
necessary to set bit 3 of the VECR to 0.
In this case, VPP is used as an I/O until the end of the operation. After the last input data is shifted in, the application should apply VPP voltage to VPP within 200ms to speed up the internal
operations. If the VPP voltage is not applied within 200ms, the PROGRAM/ERASE operations
start at standard speed.
The default value of VECR bit 3 is 1, and the VPP functionality for quad I/O modify operations is
disabled.

Serial Peripheral Interface Modes
Serial Peripheral Interface Modes
The device can be driven by a microcontroller while its serial peripheral interface is in
either of the two modes shown here. The difference between the two modes is the clock
polarity when the bus master is in standby mode and not transferring data. Input data is
latched in on the rising edge of the clock, and output data is available from the falling
edge of the clock.
Table 7: SPI Modes
Note:
Note 1 applies to the entire table
SPI Modes
Clock Polarity
CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0
C remains at 0 for (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0)
CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1
C remains at 1 for (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1)
1. The listed SPI modes are supported in extended, dual, and quad SPI protocols.
Shown below is an example of three memory devices in extended SPI protocol in a simple connection to an MCU on an SPI bus. Because only one device is selected at a time,
that one device drives DQ1, while the other devices are High-Z.
Resistors ensure the device is not selected if the bus master leaves S# High-Z. The bus
master might enter a state in which all input/output is High-Z simultaneously, such as
when the bus master is reset. Therefore, the serial clock must be connected to an external pull-down resistor so that S# is pulled HIGH while the serial clock is pulled LOW.
This ensures that S# and the serial clock are not HIGH simultaneously and that tSHCH
is met. The typical resistor value of 100kΩ, assuming that the time constant R × Cp (Cp =
parasitic capacitance of the bus line), is shorter than the time the bus master leaves the
SPI bus in High-Z.
Example: Cp = 50pF, that is R × Cp = 5μs. The application must ensure that the bus master never leaves the SPI bus High-Z for a time period shorter than 5μs. W# and HOLD#
should be driven either HIGH or LOW, as appropriate.

1. In quad SPI protocol, all command/address input and data I/O are transmitted on four
lines except during a PROGRAM and ERASE cycle performed with VPP. In this case, the
device enters the extended SPI protocol to temporarily allow the application to perform
a PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND operation or to check the write-in-progress bit in the status register or the program/erase controller bit in the flag status register. Then, when
VPP goes LOW, the device returns to the quad SPI protocol.

Nonvolatile and Volatile Registers
The device features the following volatile and nonvolatile registers that users can access
to store device parameters and operating configurations:
•
•
•
•
•
Status register
Nonvolatile and volatile configuration registers
Enhanced volatile configuration register
Flag status register
Lock register
Note: The lock register is defined in READ LOCK REGISTER Command.
In addition to these user-accessible registers, the working condition of memory is set by
an internal configuration register that is not directly accessible to users. As shown below, parameters in the internal configuration register are loaded from the nonvolatile
configuration register during each device boot phase or power-on reset. In this sense,
then, the nonvolatile configuration register contains the default settings of memory.
Also, during the life of an application, each time a WRITE VOLATILE or ENHANCED
VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command executes to set configuration parameters in these respective registers, these new settings are copied to the internal configuration register. Therefore, memory settings can be changed in real time. However, at
the next power-on reset, the memory boots according to the memory settings defined
in the nonvolatile configuration register parameters.

1. Bits can be read from or written to using READ STATUS REGISTER or WRITE STATUS REGISTER commands, respectively.
2. The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with the W#/VPP signal as described in the Signal Descriptions, provides hardware data protection for the device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1, and the W#/VPP signal 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#/VPP HIGH.This one-time programmable status register bit can be set to 1 only once.
Afterward, the status register is set permanently to read-only, and the area protected by
the status register block protect bits also is set permanently to read-only.
3. See Protected Area Sizes tables in Device Protection. The BULK ERASE command is executed only if all bits are 0.
4. Volatile bits are cleared to 0 by a power cycle or reset.

1. Settings determine the device memory configuration upon a change of those settings by
the WRITE VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command. The register is read from or
written to by READ VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER or WRITE VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER commands respectively.
2. The 0000 and 1111 settings are identical in that they both define the default state,
which is the maximum frequency of fc = 108 MHz. This ensures backward compatibility.
3. If the number of dummy clock cycles is insufficient for the operating frequency, the
memory reads wrong data. The number of cycles must be set according to and be sufficient for the clock frequency, which varies by the type of FAST READ command, as
shown in the Supported Clock Frequencies table.

READ REGISTER and WRITE REGISTER Operations
READ STATUS REGISTER or FLAG STATUS REGISTER Command
To initiate a READ STATUS REGISTER command, S# is driven LOW. For extended SPI
protocol, the command code is input on DQ0, and output on DQ1. For dual SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[1:0], and output on DQ[1:0]. For quad SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[3:0], and is output on DQ[3:0]. The operation is
terminated by driving S# HIGH at any time during data output.
The status register can be read continuously and at any time, including during a PROGRAM, ERASE, or WRITE operation.
The flag status register can be read continuously and at any time, including during an
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.

DQ[1:0]. For quad SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[3:0], and is output
on DQ[3:0]. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH at any time during data
output.
The nonvolatile configuration register 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 or ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER Command
To execute a READ VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command or a READ ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, S# is driven LOW. For extended SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ0, and output on DQ1. For dual
SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[1:0], and output on DQ[1:0]. For quad
SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[3:0], and is output on DQ[3:0]. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH at any time during data output.
When the register is read continuously, the same byte is output repeatedly.
WRITE STATUS REGISTER Command
To issue a WRITE STATUS REGISTER command, the WRITE ENABLE command must be
executed to set the write enable latch bit to 1. 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 extended SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ0, followed by the data
bytes. For dual SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[1:0], followed by the data bytes. For quad SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[3:0], followed by the
data bytes. When S# is driven HIGH, the operation, which is self-timed, is initiated; its
duration is tW.
This command is used to write new values to status register bits 7:2, enabling software
data protection. The status register can also be combined with the W#/V PP signal to
provide hardware data protection. The WRITE STATUS REGISTER command has no effect on status register bits 1:0.
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, whether the operation is successful or
not.

1. Supports all WRITE REGISTER commands except WRITE LOCK REGISTER.
2. Waveform must be extended for each protocol, to 23 for extended, 11 for dual, and 5
for quad.
3. A WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER operation requires data being sent
starting from least significant byte.
WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER Command
To execute the WRITE NONVOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, the
WRITE ENABLE command must be executed to set the write enable latch bit to 1. S# is
driven LOW and held LOW until the 16th bit of the last data byte has been latched in,
after which it must be driven HIGH. For extended SPI protocol, the command code is
input on DQ0, followed by two data bytes. For dual SPI protocol, the command code is
input on DQ[1:0], followed by the data bytes. For quad SPI protocol, the command code
is input on DQ[3:0], followed by the data bytes. When S# is driven HIGH, the operation,
which is self-timed, is initiated; its duration is tWNVCR.
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. 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.
WRITE VOLATILE or ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER Command
To execute a WRITE VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command or a WRITE
ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, the WRITE ENABLE
command must be executed to set the write enable latch bit to 1. 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 extended SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ0,
followed by the data bytes. For dual SPI protocol, the command code is input on
DQ[1:0], followed by the data bytes. For quad SPI protocol, the command code is input
on DQ[3:0], followed by the data bytes.

READ REGISTER and WRITE REGISTER Operations
If S# is not driven HIGH, the command is not executed, the flag status register error bits
are not set and the write enable latch remains set to 1. Reserved bits are not affected by
this command.
READ LOCK REGISTER Command
To execute the READ LOCK REGISTER command, S# is driven LOW. For extended SPI
protocol, the command code is input on DQ0, followed by three address bytes that
point to a location in the sector. For dual SPI protocol, the command code is input on
DQ[1:0]. For quad SPI protocol, the command code is input on DQ[3:0]. Each address
bit is latched in during the rising edge of the clock. For extended SPI protocol, data is
shifted out on DQ1 at a maximum frequency fC during the falling edge of the clock. For
dual SPI protocol, data is shifted out on DQ[1:0], and for quad SPI protocol, data is shifted out on DQ[3:0]. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH at any time during
data output.
When the register is read continuously, the same byte is output repeatedly. Any READ
LOCK REGISTER command that is executed while an ERASE, PROGRAM, or WRITE cycle is in progress is rejected with no affect on the cycle in progress.

HIGH. The command code is input on DQn, followed by three address bytes that point
to a location in the sector, and then one data byte that contains the desired settings for
lock register bits 0 and 1. Each address bit is latched in during the rising edge of the
clock.
When execution is complete, the write enable latch bit is cleared within tSHSL2 and no
error bits are set. Because lock register bits are volatile, change to the bits is immediate.
WRITE LOCK REGISTER can be executed when an ERASE SUSPEND operation is in effect. 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.

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 8 dummy clock cycles in extended or dual SPI protocol, 10 dummy clock cycles in quad SPI
protocol. 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.
The operation always executes in continuous mode so the read burst wrap setting in the
volatile configuration register does not apply.
Note: Data to be stored in the serial Flash discovery parameter area is still in the definition phase.

READ MEMORY Operations
READ MEMORY Operations
The device supports default reading and writing to an A[MAX:MIN] of A[23:0].
To execute READ MEMORY commands, S# is driven LOW. The command code is input
on DQn, followed by input on DQn of three address bytes. 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, the entire memory can be read with a single command. The operation is
terminated by driving S# HIGH at any time during data output.

1. Yes in the "Supported" row for each protocol indicates that the command in that column is supported; when supported, a command's functionality is identical for the entire
column regardless of the protocol. For example, a FAST READ functions the same for all
three protocols even though its data is input/output differently depending on the protocol.
2. FAST READ is similar to READ, but requires dummy clock cycles following the address
bytes and can operate at a higher frequency (fC).

PROGRAM Operations
PROGRAM Operations
PROGRAM commands are initiated by first executing the WRITE ENABLE command to
set the write enable latch bit to 1. S# is then 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 input on DQ[n] of 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
tPP.
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 pagesize 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.
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. An operation can be
paused or resumed by the PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND or PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME
command, respectively. 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
set to 1. 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. 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.

WRITE Operations
WRITE Operations
WRITE ENABLE Command
The WRITE ENABLE operation sets the write enable latch bit. To execute a WRITE ENABLE 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. The command code is
input on DQ0 for extended SPI protocol, on DQ[1:0] for dual SPI protocol, and on
DQ[3:0] for quad SPI protocol.
The write enable latch bit must be set before every PROGRAM, ERASE, and WRITE command. 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.
WRITE DISABLE Command
The WRITE DISABLE operation clears the write enable latch bit. To execute a WRITE
DISABLE 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. The command
code is input on DQ0 for extended SPI protocol, on DQ[1:0] for dual SPI protocol, and
on DQ[3:0] for quad SPI protocol.
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 set to 1.

ERASE Operations
ERASE Operations
SUBSECTOR ERASE Command
To execute the SUBSECTOR ERASE command (and set the selected subsector bits set to
FFh), the WRITE ENABLE command must be issued to set the write enable latch bit to
1. 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 three address bytes; any address within the subsector is valid. 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 tSSE. The operation can be suspended and resumed by the PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND and PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME
commands, respectively.
If the write enable latch bit is not set, the device ignores the SUBSECTOR ERASE command and no error bits are set to indicate operation failure.
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.
If the operation times out, the write enable latch bit is reset and the erase error bit is set
to 1. 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. When a command is applied
to a protected subsector, the command is not executed. Instead, the write enable latch
bit remains set to 1, and flag status register bits 1 and 5 are set.
SECTOR ERASE Command
To execute the SECTOR ERASE command (and set selected sector bits to FFh), the
WRITE ENABLE command must be issued to set the write enable latch bit to 1. 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
three address bytes; any address within the sector is valid. 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 tSE. The operation can be suspended and resumed
by the PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND and PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME commands, respectively.
If the write enable latch bit is not set, the device ignores the SECTOR ERASE command
and no error bits are set to indicate operation failure.
When the operation is in progress, the write in progress bit is set to 1 and 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.
If the operation times out, the write enable latch bit is reset and erase error bit is set to
1. 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. When a command is applied to a
protected sector, the command is not executed. Instead, the write enable latch bit remains set to 1, and flag status register bits 1 and 5 are set.

BULK ERASE Command
To initiate the BULK ERASE command, the WRITE ENABLE command must be issued
to set the write enable latch bit to 1. 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. When S# is driven HIGH, the operation, which is selftimed, is initiated; its duration is tBE.
If the write enable latch bit is not set, the device ignores the BULK ERASE command
and no error bits are set to indicate operation failure.
When the operation is in progress, the write in progress bit is set to 1 and 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.
If the operation times out, the write enable latch bit is reset and erase error bit is set to
1. If S# is not driven HIGH, the command is not executed, the flag status register error
bits are not set, and the write enable latch remains set to 1.
The command is not executed if any sector is locked. Instead, the write enable latch bit
remains set to 1, and flag status register bits 1 and 5 are set.

PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND Command
To initiate the PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND command, S# is driven LOW. The command code is input on DQ0. The operation is terminated by the PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME command.
PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND command enables the memory controller to interrupt
and suspend an array PROGRAM or ERASE operation within the program/erase latency.
If a SUSPEND command is issued during a PROGRAM operation, then the flag status
register bit 2 is set to 1. After erase/program latency time, the flag status register bit 7 is
also set to 1, showing the device to be in a suspended state, waiting for any operation
(see the Operations Allowed/Disallowed During Device States table).
If a SUSPEND command is issued during an ERASE operation, then the flag status register bit 6 is set to 1. After erase/program latency time, the flag status register bit 7 is also
set to 1, showing that device to be in a suspended state, waiting for any operation (see
the Operations Allowed/Disallowed During Device States table).
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.
During an ERASE SUSPEND operation, 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. 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. The commands allowed during an erase suspend state include the WRITE
LOCK REGISTER command, the WRITE VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER com-

mand, and the WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command.
When the ERASE operation resumes, it does not check the new lock status of the WRITE
LOCK REGISTER command.
During a PROGRAM SUSPEND operation, a READ operation is possible in any page except the one in a suspended state. Reading from a page that is in a suspended state will
output indeterminate data. The commands allowed during a program suspend state include the WRITE VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command and the WRITE
ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command.
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.

Notes:
1. The device can be in only one state at a time. Depending on the state of the device,
some operations 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.
2. All READ operations except READ STATUS REGISTER and READ FLAG REGISTER. When issued to a sector or subsector that is simultaneously in an erase suspend state, the READ
operation is accepted, but the data output is not guaranteed until the erase has completed.
3. All PROGRAM operations except PROGRAM OTP. In the erase suspend state, a PROGRAM
operation is allowed in any sector (Yes) except the sector (No) in which an ERASE operation has been suspended.
4. Applies to the SECTOR ERASE or SUBSECTOR ERASE operation.
5. Applies to the following operations: WRITE STATUS REGISTER, WRITE NONVOLATILE
CONFIGURATION REGISTER, PROGRAM OTP, and BULK ERASE.
6. Applies to the following operations: WRITE ENABLE, WRITE DISABLE, CLEAR FLAG STATUS REGISTER, WRITE LOCK REGISTER, WRITE VOLATILE, and ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER.
7. Applies to the READ STATUS REGISTER or READ FLAG STATUS REGISTER operation.
8. Applies to the PROGRAM SUSPEND or ERASE SUSPEND operation.
PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME Command
To initiate the PROGRAM/ERASE RESUME command, S# is driven LOW. The command
code is input on DQ0. The operation is terminated by driving S# HIGH.
When this command is executed, the status register write in progress bit is set to 1, and
the flag status register program erase controller bit is set to 0. This command is ignored
if the device is not in a suspended state.

READ OTP ARRAY Command
To initiate a READ OTP ARRAY command, S# is driven LOW. The command code is input on DQ0, followed by three 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
40h, the device continues to output data at location 40h. 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

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 three 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
and subsequent bytes are discarded.

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 or 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.
Note: For devices with basic XIP, indicated by a part number feature set digit of 2 or 4, it
is not necessary to set the volatile configuration register bit 3 to 0 to enable XIP. Instead,
it is enabled by setting the XIP confirmation bit to 0 during the first dummy clock cycle
after any FAST READ command.
Activate or 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 the nonvolatile configuration 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, the confirmation bit is already set to 0, and after the next power cycle, XIP
is active. Once in XIP, a command code is unnecessary, and device operations use the
SPI protocol currently enabled. XIP is terminated by driving the XIP confirmation bit to
1.
