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 512 (64KB) main sectors that are further divided into 16 subsectors each (8192 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. 3-Byte Address and 4-Byte Address Modes The device features 3-byte or 4-byte address modes to access memory beyond 128Mb. When 4-byte address mode is enabled, all commands requiring an address must be entered and exited with a 4-byte address mode command: ENTER 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE command and EXIT 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE command. The 4-byte address mode can also be enabled through the nonvolatile configuration register. See Registers for more information. 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. Each protocol contains unique commands to perform READ operations in DTR mode. This enables high data throughput while running at lower clock frequencies. 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. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

All rights reserved. 1.8V, 256Mb: Multiple I/O Serial Flash Memory Device Description 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. Device Configurability The N25Q family offers additional features that are configured through the nonvolatile configuration register for default and/or nonvolatile settings. Volatile settings can be configured through the volatile and volatile-enhanced configuration registers. These configurable features include the following: • • • • • • Number of dummy cycles for the fast READ commands Output buffer impedance SPI protocol types (extended SPI, DIO-SPI, or QIO-SPI) Required XIP mode Enabling/disabling HOLD (RESET function) Enabling/disabling wrap mode Figure 1: Logic Diagram VCC DQ1 DQ0 C S# RESET2 VPP/W#/DQ2 HOLD#/DQ3 VSS Note: 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

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. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

All rights reserved. 1.8V, 256Mb: Multiple I/O Serial Flash Memory Signal Descriptions Table 1: Signal Descriptions (Continued) Symbol Type HOLD# Control Input HOLD: Pauses any serial communications with the device without deselecting the device. DQ1 (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.

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. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

Additional comlines, depending mands extend the standard SPI protocol and enable address on the command or data transmission on multiple DQn lines. DQ[1:0] Volatile selectable: When the enhanced volatile configuration register bit 6 is set to 0 and bit 7 is set to 1, the device enters the dual SPI protocol immediately after the WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command. The device returns to the default protocol after the next power-on. In addition, the device can return to default protocol using the rescue sequence or through new WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, without power-off or power-on. Nonvolatile selectable: When nonvolatile configuration register bit 2 is set, the device enters the dual SPI protocol after the next power-on. Once this register bit is set, the device defaults to the dual SPI protocol after all subsequent power-on sequences until the nonvolatile configuration register bit is reset to 1. Quad1 DQ[3:0] DQ[3:0] DQ[3:0] Volatile selectable: When the enhanced volatile configuration register bit 7 is set to 0, the device enters the quad SPI protocol immediately after the WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command. The device returns to the default protocol after the next power-on. In addition, the device can return to default protocol using the rescue sequence or through new WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, without poweroff or power-on. Nonvolatile selectable: When nonvolatile configuration register bit 3 is set to 0, the device enters the quad SPI protocol after the next power-on.

Note: 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev. O 11/16 EN 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. 19 Micron Technology, Inc. reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice. © 2012 Micron Technology, Inc.

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. Figure 8: Internal Configuration Register Nonvolatile configuration register Register download is executed only during the power-on phase or after a reset, overwriting configuration register settings on the internal configuration register. Volatile configuration register and enhanced volatile configuration register Internal configuration register Register download is executed after a WRITE VOLATILE OR ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, overwriting configuration register settings on the internal configuration register.

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. 4. See Protected Area Sizes tables. The BULK ERASE command is executed only if all bits are 0.

Extended address register bit 0 is used to select the upper 128Mb segment or the lower 128Mb segment of the memory array. Figure 9: Upper and Lower 128Mb Memory Array Segments Upper 128Mb 01FFFFFFh Bottom 128Mb EAR = A = 1 00FFFFFFh 01000000h 00000000h EAR = A = 0 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 other segment as 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.

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. READ EXTENDED ADDRESS REGISTER Command To initiate a READ EXTENDED ADDRESS 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. 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. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

Note: Data to be stored in the serial Flash discovery parameter area is still in the definition phase. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

Reading and writing to an A[MAX:MIN] of A[31:0] (4-byte address) is also supported. Selection of the 3-byte or 4-byte address range can be enabled in two ways: setting the nonvolatile configuration register or entering the ENABLE 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE or EXIT 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE commands. Further details for these settings and commands are in the respective register and command sections of the data sheet. Note: When the device is set to the default address range of A[23:0], another method for enabling 4-byte addressing is through the extended address register. Details can be found in Nonvolatile and Volatile Registers. 3-Byte Address 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.

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.

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, WRITE, ENTER 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE, and EXIT 4-BYTE ADDRESS MODE 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. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.

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; 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 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 selftimed, 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.

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.

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 to 1 the flag status register bit 4: program failure/protection error, and leaves the write enable latch bit unchanged.

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.

A minimum de-selection time of tSHSL2 must come between the RESET ENABLE and RESET MEMORY commands or a reset is not guaranteed. When these two commands are executed and S# is driven HIGH, the device enters a power-on reset condition. A time of tSHSL3 is required before the device can be re-selected by driving S# LOW. It is recommended that the device exit XIP mode before executing these two commands to initiate a reset. 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.

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 0x64, the device continues to output data at location 0x64.

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. 09005aef846a804a n25q_256mb_1_8V_65nm.pdf - Rev.
