4. DEVICE OPERATION
SPI Mode
Standard SPI
The GD25LQ32D 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.
Dual SPI
The GD25LQ32D supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Dual Output Fast Read” and “Dual I/O Fast Read”
(3BH and BBH) commands. These commands allow data to be transferred to or from the device at twice times the rate of
the standard SPI. When using the Dual SPI command the SI and SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.
Quad SPI
The GD25LQ32D supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Quad Output Fast Read”,” Quad I/O Fast Read”,
“Quad I/O Word Fast Read”, “Quad Page Program” (6BH, EBH, E7H, 32H) commands. These commands allow data to be
transferred to or from the device at four times the rate of the standard SPI. When using the Quad SPI command the SI and
SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1, and WP# and HOLD# pins become IO2 and IO3. Quad SPI
commands require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register to be set.
QPI
The GD25LQ32D supports Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) operations only when the device is switched from
Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode to QPI mode using the “Enable the QPI (38H)” command. The QPI mode utilizes all four IO
pins to input the command code. Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode and QPI mode are exclusive. Only one mode can be
active at any given times. “Enable the QPI (38H)” and “Disable the QPI (FFH)” commands are used to switch between
these two modes. Upon power-up and after software reset using “”Reset (99H)” command, the default state of the device is
Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode. The QPI mode requires the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register to be set.
Hold
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 SO is high impedance, both SI and SCLK don’t care during the HOLD operation, if CS# drives high during HOLD
operation, it will reset the internal logic of the device. To re-start communication with chip, the HOLD# must be at high and
then CS# must be at low.

5. DATA PROTECTION
The GD25LQ32D provide the following data protection methods:
◆
Write Enable (WREN) command: The WREN command is set the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL). The WEL bit will
return to reset by the following situation:
-Power-Up
-Write Disable (WRDI)
-Write Status Register (WRSR)
-Page Program (PP)
-Sector Erase (SE) / Block Erase (BE) / Chip Erase (CE)
-Software reset (66H+99H)
-Erase Security Registers / Program Security Registers
◆
Software Protection Mode: The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits define the section of the
memory array that can be read but not change.
◆
Hardware Protection Mode: WP# goes low to protect the writable bit of Status Register.
◆
Deep Power-Down Mode: In Deep Power-Down Mode, all commands are ignored except the Release from Deep
Power-Down Mode command and reset command (66H+99H).

The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows:
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.
WEL bit.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) 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 command is accepted.
BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits.
The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software
protected against Program and Erase commands. These bits are written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) command.
When the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in
Table1).becomes protected against Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE) and Block Erase (BE) commands. The Block
Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set.
The Chip Erase (CE) command is executed, if the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 0 and CMP=0 or the Block
Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 1 and CMP=1.
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.

The Status Register can be written to after a Write Enable
command, WEL=1.(Default)
WP#=0, the Status Register locked and cannot be written to.
WP#=1, the Status Register is unlocked and can be written to
after a Write Enable command, WEL=1.
Status Register is protected and cannot be written to again
until the next Power-Down, Power-Up cycle.
Status Register is permanently protected and cannot be
written to.
NOTE:
1. When SRP1, SRP0= (1, 0), a Power-Down, Power-Up cycle will change SRP1, SRP0 to (0, 0) state.
2. This feature is available on special order. Please contact GigaDevice for details.

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. (It is best to set the QE bit to 0 to avoid short issues if the WP# or HOLD# pin is tied directly to the power
supply or ground.)
LB3, LB2, LB1 bits.
The LB3, LB2, LB1 bits are non-volatile One Time Program (OTP) bits in Status Register (S13-S11) that provide the
write protect control and status to the Security Registers. The default state of LB3-LB1 are 0, the security registers are
unlocked. The LB3-LB1 bits can be set to 1 individually using the Write Register instruction. The LB3-LB1 bits are One
Time Programmable, once they are set to 1, the Security Registers will become read-only permanently.
CMP bit
The CMP bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register (S14). It is used in conjunction with the BP4-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.
SUS1, SUS2 bits
The SUS1 and SUS2 bits are read only bits in the status register (S15 and S10) that are set to 1 after executing an
Program/Erase Suspend (75H) command (The Erase Suspend will set the SUS1 to 1,and the Program Suspend will set
the SUS2 to 1). The SUS1 and SUS2 bits are cleared to 0 by Program/Erase Resume (7AH) command, software reset
(66H+99H) command as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.

7. COMMANDS DESCRIPTION
All commands, 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 command code must be shifted in to the device, with
most significant bit first on SI, and each bit is latched on the rising edges of SCLK.
See Table2, every command sequence starts with a one-byte command code. Depending on the command, 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 command
sequence has been completed. For the command of Read, Fast Read, Read Status Register or Release from Deep
Power-Down, and Read Device ID, the shifted-in command sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. All read
instruction can be completed after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out, and then CS# must be driven high
to return to deselected status.
For the command of Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register, Write Enable,
Write Disable or Deep Power-Down command, CS# must be driven high exactly at a byte boundary, otherwise the
command is rejected, and is not executed. That is CS# must be 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. Write Enable (WREN) (06H)
The Write Enable (WREN) command is for setting the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL)
bit must be set prior to every Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Block Erase (BE), Chip Erase (CE), Write Status
Register (WRSR) and Erase/Program Security Registers command. The Write Enable (WREN) command sequence: CS#
goes low sending the Write Enable command CS# goes high.

7.3. Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50H)
The non-volatile Status Register bits can also be written to as volatile bits. 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. The Write Enable for Volatile Status Register command
must be issued prior to a Write Status Register command, and any other commands can't be inserted between them.
Otherwise, Write Enable for Volatile Status Register will be cleared. The Write Enable for Volatile Status Register
command will not set the Write Enable Latch bit, it is only valid for the Write Status Register command to change the
volatile Status Register bit values.

7.4. Read Status Register (RDSR) (05H or 35H or 15H)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) command 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 command to the device. It is
also possible to read the Status Register continuously. For command code “05H” / “35H”, the SO will output Status
Register bits S7~S0 / S15-S8. The command code “15H” only supports the QPI mode, the I/O0 will output Status Register
S1-S0. (For 120MHz Frequency, the 15H will better than 05H to check the WIP bit)

7.5. Write Status Register (WRSR) (01H)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows new values to be written to the Status Register. Before it can be
accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN)
command has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command has no effect on S15, S10, 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 (WRSR)
command is not executed. If CS# is driven high after eighth bit of the data byte, the CMP and QE bits will be cleared to 0 in
SPI mode, while only CMP will be cleared to 0 in QPI mode. 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
(WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP4, BP3,
BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in Table1. The Write
Status Register (WRSR) command 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 (WRSR) command is
not executed once the Hardware Protected Mode is entered.

7.6. Read Data Bytes (READ) (03H)
The Read Data Bytes (READ) command is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), and each bit is latched-in on the
rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content at that address is shifted out on SO, and each bit is shifted out, at a Max
frequency fR, on 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. The whole memory can, therefore, be read
with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) command. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) command, while an Erase, Program or
Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

The Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast Read) command is for quickly reading data out. It is followed by a 3-byte
address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, and each bit is latched-in on the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at
that address, is shifted out on SO, and each bit is shifted out, at a Max frequency fC, on 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.

7.8. Fast Read (0BH) in QPI mode
The Fast Read command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode, the number of dummy clocks is configured by
the “Set Read Parameters (C0H)” command to accommodate a wide range application with different needs for either
maximum Fast Read frequency or minimum data access latency. Depending on the Read Parameter Bits P[5:4] setting,
the number of dummy clocks can be configured as either 4/6/8.

Dual I/O Fast Read (BBH)
The Dual I/O Fast Read command is similar to the Dual Output Fast Read command but with the capability to input
the 3-byte address (A23-0) and a “Continuous Read Mode” byte 2-bit per clock by SI and SO, and each bit is latched in on
the rising edge of SCLK, then the memory contents are shifted out 2-bit per clock cycle from SI and SO. The command

Dual I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Dual I/O Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous Read
Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) = (1, 0), then the next
Dual I/O Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not require the BBH command code. The
command sequence is shown in followed Figure11a. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) do not equal (1, 0), the
next command requires the first BBH command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode”
Reset command can be used to reset (M5-4) before issuing normal command.

Quad I/O Fast Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around” in Standard SPI mode
The Quad I/O Fast Read command can be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing “Set Burst with
Wrap” (77H) commands prior to EBH. The “Set Burst with Wrap” (77H) command can either enable or disable the “Wrap
Around” feature for the following EBH commands. When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the data being accessed can be limited
to either an 8/16/32/64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data starts at the initial address specified in the
command, once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will wrap around the beginning
boundary automatically until CS# is pulled high to terminate the command.
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 commands. The “Set Burst
with Wrap” command allows three “Wrap Bits” W6-W4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to enable or disable the “Wrap Around”
operation while W6-W5 is used to specify the length of the wrap around section within a page.
Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH) in QPI mode
The Quad I/O Fast Read command is also supported in QPI mode. See Figure12b. In QPI mode, the number of
dummy clocks is configured by the “Set Read Parameters (C0H)” command to accommodate a wide range application with
different needs for either maximum Fast Read frequency or minimum data access latency. Depending on the Read
Parameter Bits P[5:4] setting, the number of dummy clocks can be configured as either 4/6/8. In QPI mode, the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits M7-M0 are also considered as dummy clocks. “Continuous Read Mode” feature is also
available in QPI mode for Quad I/O Fast Read command. “Wrap Around” feature is not available in QPI mode for Quad I/O
Fast Read command. To perform a read operation with fixed data length wrap around in QPI mode, a dedicated “Burst
Read with Wrap” (0CH) command must be used.

The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command is similar to the Quad I/O Fast Read command except that the lowest

Figure13. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher

The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous

the next Quad I/O Word Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not require the E7H command
code. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure13a. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) do not equal to
(1, 0), the next command requires the first E7H command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read

Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around” in Standard SPI mode
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command can be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing “Set Burst
with Wrap” (77H) commands prior to E7H. The “Set Burst with Wrap” (77H) command can either enable or disable the
“Wrap Around” feature for the following E7H commands. When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the data being accessed can be
limited to either an 8/16/32/64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data starts at the initial address specified in the
command, once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will wrap around the beginning
boundary automatically until CS# is pulled high to terminate the command.
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 commands. The “Set Burst
with Wrap” command allows three “Wrap Bits” W6-W4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to enable or disable the “Wrap Around”
operation while W6-W5 is used to specify the length of the wrap around section within a page.
7.14.
Set Burst with Wrap (77H)
The Set Burst with Wrap command is used in conjunction with “Quad I/O Fast Read” and “Quad I/O Word Fast Read”
command to access a fixed length of 8/16/32/64-byte section within a 256-byte page.
The Set Burst with Wrap command sequence: CS# goes low Send Set Burst with Wrap command Send 24

If the W6-W4 bits are set by the Set Burst with Wrap command, all the following “Quad I/O Fast Read” and “Quad I/O

“Wrap Around” function and return to normal read operation, another Set Burst with Wrap command should be issued to set
W4=1. In QPI mode, the “Burst Read with Wrap (0CH)” command should be used to perform the Read Operation with
“Wrap Around” feature. The Wrap Length set by W5-W6 in Standard SPI mode is still valid in QPI mode and can also be
re-configured by “Set Read Parameters (C0H) command.

Page Program (PP) (02H)
The Page Program (PP) command is for programming the memory. A Write Enable (WREN) command must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program command.
The Page Program (PP) command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code, three address
bytes 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 command sequence: CS# goes low sending Page Program command 3-byte address on SI at least
1 byte data on SI CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure15. 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 (PP) command 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 (WEL) bit is reset.
A Page Program (PP) command applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and
BP0) is not executed.

Quad Page Program (32H)
The Quad Page Program command is for programming the memory using four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. To use
Quad Page Program the Quad enable in status register Bit9 must be set (QE=1). A Write Enable (WREN) command must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program command. The
quad Page Program command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code (32H), three address bytes
and at least one data byte on IO pins.
The command sequence is shown in Figure16. 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 Quad Page Program (PP) command is not executed.
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Quad Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the
Quad 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 Quad Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At
some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Quad Page Program command applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1,
and BP0) is not executed.

Sector Erase (SE) (20H)
The Sector Erase (SE) command is erased the all data of the chosen sector. A Write Enable (WREN) command must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Sector Erase (SE) command is entered by
driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and 3-address byte on SI. Any address inside the sector is a valid
address for the Sector Erase (SE) command. CS# must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The Sector Erase command sequence: CS# goes low sending Sector Erase command 3-byte address on SI
CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure17. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last
address byte has been latched in; otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) command 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 (WEL) bit is reset. A Sector Erase (SE) command applied to a sector which is protected

Deep Power-Down (DP) (B9H)
Executing the Deep Power-Down (DP) command is the only way to put the device in the lowest consumption mode
(the Deep Power-Down Mode). It can also be used as an extra software protection mechanism, while the device is not in
active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase commands. Driving CS# high deselects the
device, and puts the device in the Standby Mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the
Deep Power-Down Mode. The Deep Power-Down Mode can only be entered by executing the Deep Power-Down (DP)
command. Once the device has entered the Deep Power-Down Mode, all commands are ignored except the Release from
Deep Power-Down and Read Device ID (RDI) (ABH) or Enable Reset (66H) and Reset (99H) commands. These
commands can release the device from this mode. The Release from Deep Power-Down and Read Device ID (RDI)
command releases the device from deep power down mode , also allows the Device ID of the device to be output on SO.
The Deep Power-Down Mode automatically stops at Power-Down, and the device is in the Standby Mode after
Power-Up.
The Deep Power-Down command sequence: CS# goes low sending Deep Power-Down command CS# goes
high. The command sequence is shown in Figure21. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the command code has
been latched in; otherwise the Deep Power-Down (DP) command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, it
requires a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the Deep Power-Down Mode is entered. Any Deep
Power-Down (DP) command, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects
on the cycle that is in progress.

Release from Deep Power-Down and Read Device ID (RDI) (ABH)
The Release from Power-Down and Read Device ID command is a multi-purpose command. It can be used to release
the device from the Power-Down state or obtain the devices electronic identification (ID) number.
To release the device from the Power-Down state, the command is issued by driving the CS# pin low, shifting the
instruction code “ABH” and driving CS# high as shown in Figure22. Release from Power-Down will take the time duration
of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) before the device will resume normal operation and other command 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 command 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 Figure23. The Device ID value for the
GD25LQ32D is listed in Manufacturer and Device Identification table. The Device ID can be read continuously. The
command is completed by driving CS# high.
When used to release the device from the Power-Down state and obtain the Device ID, the command is the same
as previously described, and shown in Figure23, 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
command will be accepted. If the Release from Power-Down / Device ID command is issued while an Erase, Program or
Write cycle is in process (when WIP equal 1) the command is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

Read Identification (RDID) (9FH)
The Read Identification (RDID) command 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. The Read Identification (RDID) command while an Erase or Program cycle is in progress,
is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. The Read Identification (RDID) command should not be
issued while the device is in Deep Power-Down Mode.
The device is first selected by driving CS# low. Then, the 8-bit command code for the command is shifted in. This is
followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory. Each bit is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial Clock.
The command sequence is shown in Figure27. The Read Identification (RDID) command is terminated by driving CS# high
at any time during data output. When CS# is driven high, the device is in the Standby Mode. Once in the Standby Mode,
the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute commands.

Program/Erase Suspend (PES) (75H)
The Program/Erase Suspend command “75H”, allows the system to interrupt a page program or sector/block erase
operation and then read data from any other sector or block. The Write Status Register command (01H) and
Erase/Program Security Registers command (44H,42H) and Erase commands (20H, 52H, D8H, C7H, 60H) and Page
Program command (02H, 32H) are not allowed during Program suspend. The Write Status Register command (01H) and
Erase Security Registers command (44H) and Erase commands (20H, 52H, D8H, C7H, 60H) are not allowed during
Erase suspend. Program/Erase Suspend is valid only during the page program or sector/block erase operation. A
maximum of time of “tsus” (See AC Characteristics) is required to suspend the program/erase operation.
The Program/Erase Suspend command will be accepted by the device only if the SUS2/SUS1 bit in the Status
Register equal to 0 and WIP bit equal to 1 while a Page Program or a Sector or Block Erase operation is on-going. If the
SUS2/SUS1 bit equal to 1 or WIP bit equal to 0, the Suspend command will be ignored by the device. The WIP bit will be
cleared from 1 to 0 within “tsus” and the SUS2/SUS1 bit will be set from 0 to 1 immediately after Program/Erase Suspend.
A power-off during the suspend period will reset the device and release the suspend state. The command sequence is
show in Figure28.

Program/Erase Resume (PER) (7AH)
The Program/Erase Resume command must be written to resume the program or sector/block erase operation after
a Program/Erase Suspend command. The Program/Erase Resume command will be accepted by the device only if the
SUS2/SUS1 bit equal to 1 and the WIP bit equal to 0. After issued the SUS2/SUS1 bit in the status register will be cleared
from 1 to 0 immediately, the WIP bit will be set from 0 to 1 within 200ns and the Sector or Block will complete the erase
operation or the page will complete the program operation. The Program/Erase Resume command will be ignored unless a
Program/Erase Suspend is active. The command sequence is show in Figure29.

Erase Security Registers (44H)
The GD25LQ32D provides three 1024-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.
The Erase Security Registers command is similar to Sector/Block Erase command. A Write Enable (WREN)
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit.
The Erase Security Registers command sequence: CS# goes low sending Erase Security Registers command
3-byte address on SI CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure31. CS# must be driven high after the
eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched in; otherwise the Erase Security Registers command 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 (WEL) bit is reset. The Security
Registers Lock Bit (LB3-1) 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 command will be ignored.

Program Security Registers (42H)
The Program Security Registers command is similar to the Page Program command. Each security register contains
four pages content. A Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit before sending the Program Security Registers command. The Program Security Registers command is entered
by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code (42H), three address bytes 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 (WEL) bit is reset.
If the Security Registers Lock Bit (LB3-1) is set to 1, the Security Registers will be permanently locked. Program
Security Registers command will be ignored.

Read Security Registers (48H)
The Read Security Registers command is similar to Fast Read command. The command is followed by a 3-byte
address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte, and each bit is latched-in on the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at
that address, is shifted out on SO, and each bit is shifted out, at a Max frequency fC, on 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 command is completed by driving CS# high.

The “Burst Read with Wrap (0CH)” command provides an alternative way to perform the read operation with “Wrap
Around” in QPI mode. This command is similar to the “Fast Read (0BH)” command in QPI mode, except the addressing of
the read operation will “Wrap Around” to the beginning boundary of the “Wrap Around” once the ending boundary is
reached. The “Wrap Length” and the number of dummy clocks can be configured by the “Set Read Parameters (C0H)”

The device support both Standard/Dual/Quad SPI and QPI mode. The “Enable QPI (38H)” command can switch the
device from SPI mode to QPI mode. See the command Table 2a for all support QPI commands. In order to switch the
device to QPI mode, the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-1 must be set to 1 first, and “Enable QPI (38H)”
command must be issued. If the QE bit is 0, the “Enable QPI (38H)” command will be ignored and the device will remain in
SPI mode. When the device is switched from SPI mode to QPI mode, the existing Write Enable Latch and Program/Erase

Enable Reset (66H) and Reset (99H)
If the Reset command is accepted, any on-going internal operation will be terminated and the device will return to its
default power-on state and lose all the current volatile settings, such as Volatile Status Register bits, Write Enable Latch
status (WEL), Program/Erase Suspend status, Read Parameter setting (P7-P0), Deep Power Down Mode, Continuous
Read Mode bit setting (M7-M0) and Wrap Bit Setting (W6-W4).
The “Enable Reset (66H)” and the “Reset (99H)” commands can be issued in either SPI or QPI mode. The “Reset
(99H)” and the “Reset (99H)” command sequence is as followed: CS# goes low Sending Enable Reset command
CS# goes high CS# goes low Sending Reset command CS# goes high. Once the Reset command is accepted by
the device, the device will take approximately tRST =30μs / tRST_E =12ms to reset. During this period, no command will be
accepted. Data corruption may happen if there is an on-going or suspended internal Erase or Program operation when
Reset command sequence is accepted by the device. It is recommended to check the BUSY bit and the SUS bit in Status
Register before issuing the Reset command sequence.
