2. Signal Description
During all operations, VCC must be held stable and within the specified valid range: VCC(min) to
VCC(max).
All of the input and output signals must be held High or Low (according to voltages of VIH, VOH,
VIL or VOL, see Section 8.6, DC Electrical Characteristics on page 43). These signals are
described next.

Core and I/O Power Supply
2.2 Chip Select (/CS)
The chip select signal indicates when a instruction for the device is in process and the other
signals are relevant for the memory device. When the /CS signal is at the logic high state, the
device is not selected and all input signals are ignored and all output signals are high impedance.
Unless an internal Program, Erase or Write Status Registers embedded operation is in progress,
the device will be in the Standby Power mode. Driving the /CS input to logic low state enables the
device, placing it in the Active Power mode. After Power Up, a falling edge on /CS is required prior
to the start of any instruction.
2.3 Serial Clock (SCLK)
This input signal provides the synchronization reference for the SPI interface. Instructions,
addresses, or data input are latched on the rising edge of the SCLK signal. Data output changes
after the falling edge of SCLK.

HG25Q32
2.4 Serial Input (SI)/IO0
This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses,
and data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of serial SCK clock signal.
SI becomes IO0 an input and output during Dual and Quad Instructions for receiving instructions,
addresses, and data to be programmed (values latched on rising edge of serial SCK clock signal)
as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK).
2.5 Serial Data Output (SO)/IO1
This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the
falling edge of the serial SCK clock signal.
SO becomes IO1 an input and output during Dual and Quad Instructions for receiving instructions,
addresses, and data to be programmed (values latched on rising edge of serial SCK clock signal)
as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK).
2.6 Write Protect (/WP)/IO2
When /WP is driven Low (VIL), while the Status Register Protect bits (SRP1 and SRP0) of the
Status Registers (SR2[0] and SR1[7]) are set to 0 and 1 respectively, it is not possible to write to
the Status Registers. This prevents any alteration of the Status Registers. As a consequence, all
the data bytes in the memory area that are protected by the Block Protect, TB, SEC, and CMP bits
in the status registers, are also hardware protected against data modification while /WP remains
Low. The /WP function is not available when the Quad mode is enabled (QE) in Status Register 2
(SR2[1]=1).
The /WP function is replaced by IO2 for input and output during Quad mode for receiving
addresses, and data to be programmed (values are latched on rising edge of the SCK signal) as
well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK). /WP has an internal pull-up resistance; when
unconnected; /WP is at VIH and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used for Quad
mode.
2.7 HOLD (/HOLD)/IO3
The /HOLD signal goes low to stop any serial communications with the device, but doesn’t stop
the operation of write status register, programming, or erasing in progress.
The operation of HOLD, need /CS keep low, and starts on falling edge of the /HOLD signal, with
SCLK signal being low (if SCLK is not being low, HOLD operation will not start until SCLK being
low). The HOLD condition ends on rising edge of /HOLD signal with SCLK being low (If SCLK is
not being low, HOLD operation will not end until SCLK being low).
The Hold condition starts on the falling edge of the Hold (/HOLD) signal, provided that this
coincides with SCK being at the logic low state. If the falling edge does not coincide with the SCK
signal being at the logic low state, the Hold condition starts whenever the SCK signal reaches the
logic low state. Taking the /HOLD signal to the logic low state does not terminate any Write,
Program or Erase operation that is currently in progress.

4. SPI Operation
4.1 Standard SPI Instructions
The HG25Q32 features a serial peripheral interface on 4 signals bus: Serial Clock (SCLK), Chip
Select (/CS), Serial Data Input (SI) and Serial Data Output (SO). Both SPI bus mode 0 and 3 are
supported. Input data is latched on the rising edge of SCLK and data shifts out on the falling edge
of SCLK.
4.2 Dual SPI Instructions
The HG25Q32 supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Dual Output Fast Read” and “Dual
I/O Fast Read” (3BH and BBH) instructions. These instructions allow data to be transferred to or
from the device at two times the rate of the standard SPI. When using the Dual SPI instruction the
SI and SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.
4.3 Quad SPI Instructions
The HG25Q32 supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Quad Output Fast Read”, “Quad
I/O Fast Read” (6BH, EBH) instructions. These instructions allow data to be transferred t-o or from
the device at four times the rate of the standard SPI. When using the Quad SPI instruction the SI
and SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1, and /WP and /HOLD pins become IO2
and IO3. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2
to be set.
5. Operation Features
5.1 Supply Voltage
5.1.1
Operating Supply Voltage
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage within
the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see operating ranges of page 50). In
order to secure a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the VCC line with a
suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF to 100 nF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins.
This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction and,
for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (tW).
http://www.hgsemi.com.cn

2019 OCT V1.0
HG25Q32
5.1.2
Power-up Conditions
When the power supply is turned on, VCC rises continuously from VSS to VCC. During this time,
the Chip Select (/CS) line is not allowed to float but should follow the VCC voltage, it is therefore
recommended to connect the /CS line to VCC via a suitable pull-up resistor.
In addition, the Chip Select (/CS) input offers a built-in safety feature, as the /CS input is edge
sensitive as well as level sensitive: after power-up, the device does not become selected until a
falling edge has first been detected on Chip Select (/CS). This ensures that Chip Select (/CS) must
have been High, prior to going Low to start the first operation.
5.1.3
Device Reset
In order to prevent inadvertent Write operations during power-up (continuous rise of VCC), a
power on reset (POR) circuit is included. At Power-up, the device does not respond to any
instruction until VCC has reached the power on reset threshold voltage (this threshold is lower
than the minimum VCC operating voltage defined in operating ranges of page 50).
When VCC has passed the POR threshold, the device is reset.
5.1.4
Power-down
At Power-down (continuous decrease in VCC), as soon as VCC drops from the normal operating
voltage to below the power on reset threshold voltage, the device stops responding to any
instruction sent to it. During Power-down, the device must be deselected (Chip Select (/CS) should
be allowed to follow the voltage applied on VCC) and in Standby Power mode (that is there should
be no internal Write cycle in progress).
5.2 Active Power and Standby Power Modes
When Chip Select (/CS) is Low, the device is selected, and in the Active Power mode. The device
consumes ICC.
When Chip Select (/CS) is High, the device is deselected. If a Write cycle is not currently in
progress, the device then goes in to the Standby Power mode, and the device consumption drops
to ICC1.
5.3 Hold Condition
The Hold (/HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without
resetting the clocking sequence. During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (SO) is high
impedance, and Serial Data Input (SI) and Serial Clock (SCLK) are Don’t Care. To enter the Hold
condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (/CS) Low. Normally, the device is kept
selected, for the whole duration of the Hold condition. Deselecting the device while it is in the Hold
condition, has the effect of resetting the state of the device, and this mechanism can be used if it is
required to reset any processes that had been in progress.
The Hold condition starts when the Hold (/HOLD) signal is driven Low at the same time as Serial
Clock (SCLK) already being Low (as shown in Figure 4).
http://www.hgsemi.com.cn

HG25Q32
The Hold condition ends when the Hold (HOLD) signal is driven High at the same time as Serial
Clock (C) already being Low. Figure 4 also shows what happens if the rising and falling edges are
not timed to coincide with Serial Clock (SCLK) being Low.

The Status and Control Bits
5.4.2.1 WIP bit
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy in program/erase/write
status register progress. When WIP bit sets to 1, means the device is busy in program/erase/write
status register progress, when WIP bit sets 0, means the device is not in program/erase/write
status register progress.
5.4.2.2 WEL bit
The Write Enable Latch bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1
the internal Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is reset and no
Write Status Register, Program or Erase instruction is accepted.
5.4.2.3 SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits
The Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area
to be software protected against Program and Erase instructions. These bits are written with the
Write Status Register instruction. When the Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are set
to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 6 and Table 7).becomes protected against
http://www.hgsemi.com.cn
10
2019 OCT V1.0
HG25Q32
Page Program, Sector Erase and Block Erase instructions. The Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set.
5.4.2.4 SRP1, SRP0 bits
The Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0) bits are non-volatile Read/Write bits in the status
register. The SRP bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware
protection, power supply lock-down or one time programmable protection.
5.4.2.5 QE bit
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register that allows Quad
operation. When the QE bit is set to 0 (Default) the /WP pin and /HOLD pin are enable. When the
QE pin is set to 1, the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled. (The QE bit should never be set to 1
during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation if the /WP or /HOLD pins directly to the power supply or
ground).
5.4.2.6 LB3/LB2/LB1 bit
The LB bit is a non-volatile One Time Program (OTP) bit in Status Register that provide the write
protect control and status to the Security Registers. The default state of LB is 0, the security
registers are unlocked. LB can be set to 1 individually using the Write Register instruction. LB is
One Time Programmable, once it’s set to 1, the 256byte Security Registers will become read-only
permanently, LB3/2/1 for Security Registers 3:1.
5.4.2.7 CMP bit
The CMP bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register2 (bit6). It is used in conjunction
the SEC-BP0 bits to provide more flexibility for the array protection. Please see the Status
registers Memory Protection table for details. The default setting is CMP=0.
5.4.2.8 SUS bit
The SUS bit is a read only bit in the status register2 (bit7) that is set to 1 after executing an
Erase/Program Suspend (75H) instruction. The SUS bit is cleared to 0 by Erase/Program Resume
(7AH) instruction as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.

7. Instructions Description
All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, beginning with the most
significant bit on the first rising edge of SCLK after /CS is driven low. Then, the one byte instruction
code must be shifted in to the device, most significant bit first on SI, each bit being latched on the
rising edges of SCLK.
See Table 9, every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code. Depending on the
instruction, this might be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none. /CS must
be driven high after the last bit of the instruction sequence has been shifted in. For the instruction
of Read, Fast Read, Read Status Register or Release from Deep Power Down, and Read Device
ID, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data out sequence. /CS can be driven high
after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out.
For the instruction of Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register,
Write Enable, Write Disable or Deep Power-Down instruction, /CS must be driven high exactly at a
byte boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is not executed. That is /CS must driven
high when the number of clock pulses after /CS being driven low is an exact multiple of eight. For
Page Program, if at any time the input byte is not a full byte, nothing will happen and WEL will not
be reset.

7.1 Configuration and Status Instructions
7.1.1
Write Enable (06H)
See Figure 5, the Write Enable instruction is for setting the Write Enable Latch bit. The Write
Enable Latch bit must be set prior to every Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase
and Write Status Register instruction. The Write Enable instruction sequence: /CS goes low
sending the Write Enable instruction /CS goes high.

Read Status Register (05H or 35H)
See Figure 7 the Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction is for reading the Status Register. The
Status Register may be read at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register
cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write
in Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also possible to read the
Status Register continuously. For instruction code “05H”, the SO will output Status Register bits
S7~S0. The instruction code “35H”, the SO will output Status Register bits S15~S8.

Write Status Register (01H)
See Figure 8, the Write Status Register instruction allows new values to be written to the Status
Register. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable instruction must previously have been
executed. After the Write Enable instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the
Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register instruction has no effect on S15, S1 and S0 of the Status Register. /CS
must be driven high after the eighth or sixteen bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the
Write Status Register instruction is not executed. If /CS is driven high after eighth bit of the data
byte, the CMP and QE and SRP1 bits will be cleared to 0. As soon as /CS is driven high, the
self-timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Write Status
Register cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write in
Progress (WIP) bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register
cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch is reset.
The Write Status Register instruction allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect
(SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as
defined in Table 3. The Write Status Register instruction also allows the user to set or reset the
Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0) bits in accordance with the Write Protect (/WP) signal.
The Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0) bits and Write Protect (/WP) signal allow the device
to be put in the Hardware Protected Mode. The Write Status Register instruction is not executed
once the Hardware Protected Mode is entered.

Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50H)
See Figure 9, the non-volatile Status Register bits can also be written to as volatile bits. During
power up reset, the non-volatile Status Register bits are copied to a volatile version of the Status
Register that is used during device operation. This gives more flexibility to change the system
configuration and memory protection schemes quickly without waiting for the typical non-volatile
bit write cycles or affecting the endurance of the Status Register non-volatile bits. To write the
volatile version of the Status Register bits, the Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50h)
instruction must be issued prior to each Write Status Registers (01h) instruction. Write Enable for
Volatile Status Register instruction will not set the Write Enable Latch bit, it is only valid for the next
following Write Status Registers instruction, to change the volatile Status Register bit values.

7.2 Read Instructions
7.2.1
Read Data (03H)
See Figure 10, the Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0),
each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that
address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fR, during the falling
edge of SCLK. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each
byte of data is shifted out allowing for a continuous stream of data. This means that the entire
memory can be accessed with a single command as long as the clock continues. The command is
completed by driving /CS high. The whole memory can be read with a single Read Data Bytes
(READ) instruction. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write
cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Normal
read mode running up to 50MHz.

Fast Read (0BH)
See Figure 11, the Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast Read) instruction is for quickly reading
data out. It is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in
during the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO,
each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fc, during the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte
addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher
address after each byte of data is shifted out.

Dual I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
See Figure 15, the Dual I/O Fast Read instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through
setting the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) =AXH, then the next Dual I/O Fast Read instruction (after
/CS is raised and then lowered) does not require the BBH instruction code. If the “Continuous
Read Mode” bits (M7-0) are any value other than AXH, the next instruction requires the first BBH
instruction code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset instruction
can be used to reset (M7-0) before issuing normal instruction.

Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH)
See Figure 16, the Quad I/O Fast Read instruction is similar to the Dual I/O Fast Read instruction
but with the capability to input the 3-byte address (A23-0) and a “Continuous Read Mode” byte
and 4-dummy clock 4-bit per clock by IO0, IO1, IO3, IO4, each bit being latched in during the rising
edge of SCLK, then the memory contents are shifted out 4-bit per clock cycle from IO0, IO1, IO2,
IO3. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to
the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status
Register must be set to enable for the Quad I/O Fast read instruction.

Continuous Read Mode Reset (FFH or FFFFH)
The “Continuous Read Mode” bits are used in conjunction with “Fast Read Dual I/O” and “Fast
Read Quad I/O” Instructions to provide the highest random Flash memory access rate with
minimum SPI instruction overhead, thus allowing more efficient XIP (execute in place) with this
device family.
The “Continuous Read Mode” bits M7-0 are set by the Dual/Quad I/O Read Instructions. M5-4 are
used to control whether the 8-bit SPI instruction code (BBh or EBh) is needed or not for the next
instruction. When M5-4 = (1,0), the next instruction will be treated the same as the current
Dual/Quad I/O Read instruction without needing the 8-bit instruction code; when M5-4 do not
equal to (1,0), the device returns to normal SPI instruction mode, in which all instructions can be
accepted. M7-6 and M3-0 are reserved bits for future use, either 0 or 1 values can be used.
See Figure 18, the Continuous Read Mode Reset instruction (FFh or FFFFh) can be used to set
M4 = 1, thus the device will release the Continuous Read Mode and return to normal SPI
operation.
To reset “Continuous Read Mode” during Quad I/O operation, only eight clocks are needed. The
instruction is “FFh”. To reset “Continuous Read Mode” during Dual I/O operation, sixteen clocks
are needed to shift in instruction “FFFFh

7.2.10 Fast Read Quad I/O with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around”
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction can also be used to access a specific portion within a page by
issuing a “Set Burst with Wrap” (77h) instruction prior to EBh. The “Set Burst with Wrap” (77h)
instruction can either enable or disable the “Wrap Around” feature for the following EBh
instructions. When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the data being accessed can be limited to either an
8, 16, 32 or 64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data starts at the initial address
specified in the instruction, once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section,
the output will wrap around to the beginning boundary automatically until /CS is pulled high to
terminate the instruction.
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address
and then fill the cache afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing
multiple read instructions.
The “Set Burst with Wrap” instruction allows three “Wrap Bits”, W6-4 to be set. The W4 bit is used
to enable or disable the “Wrap Around” operation while W6-5 are used to specify the length of the
wrap around section within a page.
Similar to a Quad I/O instruction, the Set Burst with Wrap instruction is initiated by driving the /CS
pin low and then shifting the instruction code “77h” followed by 24 dummy bits and 8 “Wrap Bits”,
W7-0. Wrap bit W7 and the lower nibble W3-0 are not used.
Once W6-4 is set by a Set Burst with Wrap instruction, all the following “Fast Read Quad I/O” and
“Word Read Quad I/O” instructions will use the W6-4 setting to access the 8/16/32/64-byte section
within any page. To exit the “Wrap Around” function and return to normal read operation, another
Set Burst with Wrap instruction should be issued to set W4=1. The default value of W4 upon
power on is 1.

7.3 ID and Security Instructions
7.3.1
Read Manufacture ID/ Device ID (90H)
See Figure 20, the Read Manufacturer/Device ID instruction is an alternative to the Release from
Power-Down/Device ID instruction that provides both the JEDEC assigned Manufacturer ID and
the specific Device ID.
The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “90H”
followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) of 000000H. If the 24-bit address is initially set to 000001H,
the Device ID will be read first.

JEDEC ID (9FH)
The JEDEC ID instruction allows the 8-bit manufacturer identification to be read, followed by two
bytes of device identification. The device identification indicates the memory type in the first byte,
and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte. JEDEC ID instruction while an Erase or
Program cycle is in progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress.
The JEDEC ID instruction should not be issued while the device is in Deep Power-Down Mode.
See Figure 21, he device is first selected by driving /CS to low. Then, the 8-bit instruction code for
the instruction is shifted in. This is followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory,
being shifted out on Serial Data Output, each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial
Clock. The JEDEC ID instruction is terminated by driving /CS to high at any time during data
output. When /CS is driven high, the device is put in the Standby Mode. Once in the Standby
Mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions.

Deep Power-Down (B9H)
Although the standby current during normal operation is relatively low, standby current can be
further reduced with the Deep Power-down instruction. The lower power consumption makes the
Deep Power-down (DPD) instruction especially useful for battery powered applications (see ICC1
and ICC2). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code
“B9h” as shown in Figure 22.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit has been latched. If this is not done the Deep
Power down instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the power-down state will
entered within the time duration of tDP. While in the power-down state only the Release from Deep
Power-down / Device ID instruction, which restores the device to normal operation, will be
recognized. All other Instructions are ignored. This includes the Read Status Register instruction,
which is always available during normal operation. Ignoring all but one instruction also makes the
Power Down state a useful condition for securing maximum write protection. The device always
powers-up in the normal operation with the standby current of ICC1.

Release from Deep Power-Down/Read Device ID (ABH)
The Release from Power-Down or Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. It can be
used to release the device from the Power-Down state or obtain the devices electronic
identification (ID) number.
See Figure 23a, to release the device from the Power-Down state, the instruction is issued by
driving the /CS pin low, shifting the instruction code “ABH” and driving /CS high Release from
Power-Down will take the time duration of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) before the device will
resume normal operation and other instruction are accepted. The /CS pin must remain high during
the tRES1 time duration.
When used only to obtain the Device ID while not in the Power-Down state, the instruction is
initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “ABH” followed by 3-dummy
byte. The Device ID bits are then shifted out on the falling edge of SCLK with most significant bit
(MSB) first as shown in Figure 23b. The Device ID value for the BG25Q32A is listed in
Manufacturer and Device Identification table. The Device ID can be read continuously. The
instruction is completed by driving /CS high.
When used to release the device from the Power-Down state and obtain the Device ID, the
instruction is the same as previously described, and shown in Figure 23b, except that after /CS is
driven high it must remain high for a time duration of tRES2 (See AC Characteristics). After this
time duration the device will resume normal operation and other instruction will be accepted. If the
Release from Power-Down/Device ID instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle
is in process (when WIP equal 1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the
current cycle.

Read Security Registers (48H)
See Figure 24, the Read Security Registers instruction is similar to Fast Read instruction. The
instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in
during the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO,
each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fC, during the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte
addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher
address after each byte of data is shifted out. Once the A9-A0 address reaches the last byte of the
register (Byte 3FFH), it will reset to 000H, the instruction is completed by driving /CS high.

Erase Security Registers (44H)
The BG25Q32A provides three 256-byte Security Registers which can be erased and
programmed individually. These registers may be used by the system manufacturers to store
security and other important information separately from the main memory array.
See Figure 25, the Erase Security Registers instruction is similar to Sector/Block Erase instruction.
A Write Enable instruction must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit.
The Erase Security Registers instruction sequence: /CS goes low sending Erase Security
Registers instruction /CS goes high. /CS must be driven high after the eighth bit of the instruction
code has been latched in otherwise the Erase Security Registers instruction is not executed. As
soon as /CS is driven high, the self-timed Erase Security Registers cycle (whose duration is tSE) is
initiated. While the Erase Security Registers cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read
to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during
the self-timed Erase Security Registers cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified
time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch bit is reset. The Security Registers
Lock Bit (LB) in the Status Register can be used to OTP protect the security registers. Once the LB
bit is set to 1, the Security Registers will be permanently locked; the Erase Security Registers
instruction will be ignored.

Program Security Registers (42H)
See Figure 26, the Program Security Registers instruction is similar to the Page Program
instruction. It allows from 1 to 256 bytes Security Registers data to be programmed. A Write
Enable instruction must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit before
sending the Program Security Registers instruction. The Program Security Registers instruction is
entered by driving /CS Low, followed by the instruction code (42H), 3-byte address and at least
one data byte on SI. As soon as /CS is driven high, the self-timed Program Security Registers
cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Program Security Registers cycle is in
progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit.
The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Program Security Registers cycle, and is
0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable
Latch bit is reset.
If the Security Registers Lock Bit (LB3/LB2/LB1) is set to 1, the Security Registers will be
permanently locked. Program Security Registers instruction will be ignored.

7.4 Program and Erase Instructions
7.4.1
Page Program (02H)
The Page Program instruction is for programming the memory. A Write Enable instruction must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit before sending the Page Program
instruction.
See Figure 27, the Page Program instruction is entered by driving /CS Low, followed by the
instruction code, 3-byte address and at least one data byte on SI. If the 8 least significant address
bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data that goes beyond the end of the current page are
programmed from the start address of the same page (from the address whose 8 least significant
bits (A7-A0) are all zero). /CS must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence. The
Page Program instruction sequence: /CS goes low sending Page Program instruction 3-byte
address on SI at least 1 byte data on SI /CS goes high. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the
device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be
programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256 data bytes are sent to device, they
are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other
bytes of the same page. /CS must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in; otherwise the Page Program instruction is not executed.
As soon as /CS is driven high, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is
initiated. While the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check
the value of the Write in Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the
self-timed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch bit is reset.
A Page Program instruction applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (SEC, TB,
BP2, BP1, BP0) is not executed.

Sector Erase (20H)
The Sector Erase instruction is for erasing the all data of the chosen sector. A Write Enable
instruction must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit. The Sector
Erase instruction is entered by driving /CS low, followed by the instruction code, and 3-address
byte on SI. Any address inside the sector is a valid address for the Sector Erase instruction. /CS
must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence.
See Figure 28, The Sector Erase instruction sequence: /CS goes low sending 64KB Block Erase
instruction 3-byte address on SI /CS goes high. /CS must be driven high after the eighth bit of the
last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the Sector Erase instruction is not executed. As
soon as /CS is driven high, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated.
While the Sector Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of
the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Sector
Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed,
the Write Enable Latch bit is reset. A Sector Erase instruction applied to a sector which is
protected by the Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bit is not executed.

32KB Block Erase (52H)
The 32KB Block Erase instruction is for erasing the all data of the chosen block. A Write Enable
instruction must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit. The 32KB Block
Erase instruction is entered by driving /CS low, followed by the instruction code, and 3-byte
address on SI. Any address inside the block is a valid address for the 32KB Block Erase
instruction. /CS must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence.
See Figure 29, the 32KB Block Erase instruction sequence: /CS goes low sending 32KB Block
Erase instruction 3-byte address on SI /CS goes high. /CS must be driven high after the eighth bit
of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the 32KB Block Erase instruction is not
executed. As soon as /CS is driven high, the self-timed Block Erase cycle (whose duration is tBE)
is initiated. While the Block Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check
the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the
self-timed Block Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch bit is reset. A 32KB Block Erase instruction applied to a
block which is protected by the Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 6&7) is
not executed.

64KB Block Erase (D8H)
The 64KB Block Erase instruction is for erasing the all data of the chosen block. A Write Enable
instruction must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit. The 64KB Block
Erase instruction is entered by driving /CS low, followed by the instruction code, and 3-byte
address on SI. Any address inside the block is a valid address for the 64KB Block Erase
instruction. /CS must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence.
See Figure 30, the 64KB Block Erase instruction sequence: /CS goes low sending 64KB Block
Erase instruction 3-byte address on SI /CS goes high. /CS must be driven high after the eighth bit
of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the 64KB Block Erase instruction is not
executed. As soon as /CS is driven high, the self-timed Block Erase cycle (whose duration is tBE)
is initiated. While the Block Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check
the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the
self-timed Block Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch bit is reset. A 64KB Block Erase instruction applied to a
block which is protected by the Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 6&7) is

Chip Erase (60/C7H)
The Chip Erase instruction sets all memory within the device to the erased state of all 1s (FFh). A
Write Enable instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Chip Erase Instruction
(Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and
shifting the instruction code “C7h” or “60h”. The Chip Erase instruction sequence is shown in
Figure 31.
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit has been latched. If this is not done the Chip
Erase instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Chip Erase
instruction will commence for a time duration of tCE. While the Chip Erase cycle is in progress, the
Read Status Register instruction may still be accessed to check the status of the WIP bit.
The WIP bit is a 1 during the Chip Erase cycle and becomes a 0 when finished and the device is
ready to accept other Instructions again. After the Chip Erase cycle has finished the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The Chip Erase instruction will not be
executed if any page is protected by the Block Protect (CMP, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits
(see Table 6&7).

Erase / Program Suspend (75H)
The Erase/Program Suspend instruction allows the system to interrupt a Sector or Block Erase
operation, then read from or program data to any other sector. The Erase/Program Suspend
instruction also allows the system to interrupt a Page Program operation and then read from any
other page or erase any other sector or block. The Erase/Program Suspend instruction sequence
is shown in Figure 32.
The Write Status Registers instruction (01h) and Erase instructions (20h, D8h, C7h, 60h, 44h) are
not allowed during Erase Suspend. Erase Suspend is valid only during the Sector or Block erase
operation. If written during the Chip Erase operation, the Erase Suspend instruction is ignored.
The Write Status Registers instruction (01h), and Program instructions (02h, 32h, 42h) are not
allowed during Program Suspend. Program Suspend is valid only during the Page Program
operation.

Erase / Program Resume (7AH)
The Erase/Program Resume instruction “7Ah” must be written to resume the Sector or Block
Erase operation or the Page Program operation after an Erase/Program Suspend. The Resume
instruction “7Ah” will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the Status Register equals to
1 and the WIP bit equals to 0.
After the Resume instruction is issued the SUS bit will be cleared from 1 to 0 immediately, the WIP
bit will be set from 0 to 1 within 200 ns and the Sector or Block will complete the erase operation or
the page will complete the program operation. If the SUS bit equals to 0 or the WIP bit equals to 1,
the Resume instruction “7Ah” will be ignored by the device. The Erase/Program Resume
instruction sequence is shown in Figure 33.
