Signal Description
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 60). These signals are
described next.

Core and I/O Power Supply
2.2 Chip Select (/CS)
The chip select signal indicates when an 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.
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).

Signal Description
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 function is only available when QE=0, If QE=1, The /HOLD function is disabled, the pin
acts as dedicated data I/O pin
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.

SPI Operation
BY25Q128AS
4. SPI Operation
4.1 Standard SPI Instructions
The BY25Q128AS 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 BY25Q128AS supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Dual Output Fast Read” (3BH),
“Dual I/O Fast Read” (BBH) and “Read Manufacture ID/Device ID Dual I/O” (92H) 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 BY25Q128AS supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Quad Output Fast Read”(6BH),
“Quad I/O Fast Read” (EBH) ,”Quad I/O word Fast Read”(E7H),”Read Manufacture ID/Device ID
Quad I/O”(94H) and “Quad Page Program”(32H) instructions. These instructions allow data to be
transferred to 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 to be set.

Operation Features
BY25Q128AS
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 58). 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 10nF to 100nF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins. This
voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the ins truction and, for a
Write instruction, until the completion of the internal write cycle (tW).
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 58).
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.

Operation Features
BY25Q128AS
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).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 r eset and no
Write Status Register, Program or Erase instruction is accepted.
5.4.2.3 BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits
The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, 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 (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are
set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 6 and Table 7).becomes protected against
Page Program, Sector Erase and Block Erase instructions. The Block Protect ( BP4, BP3, BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mod e has not been set. The
Chip Erase(CE) instruction is executed, if the Block Protect(BP2,BP1,BP0)bits are 0 and CMP=0
or The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are1 and CMP=1.
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 (S13–S11) 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 they are set to 1, the Security Registers will become readonly permanently.
5.4.2.7 CMP bit
The CMP bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register (S14). 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 SUS1/SUS2 bit
The SUS1 and SUS2 bits are read only bits in the status register2 (S15 and S10) that are set to 1
after executing an Erase/Program Suspend (75H) instruction (The Erase Suspend will set SUS1 to
1, and the Program Suspend will set the SUS2 to 1). The SUS1 and SUS2 bits are 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 8, 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 b y 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.

Read Status Register (05H or 35H or 15H)
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 outp ut Status Register bits
S7~S0. The instruction code “35H”, the SO will output Status Register bits S15~S8 , The instruction
code “15H”, the SO will output Status Register bits S23~16.

Write Status Register (01H or 31H or 11H)
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 S23, S20, S19, S18, S17, S16, S15, S1 and
S0 of the Status Register. /CS must be driven high after the eighth bit of th e data byte has been
latched in. If not, the Write Status Register instruction is not executed. As s oon as /CS is driven
high, the self-timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is t W ) 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
(BP4, BP3, 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 instr uction 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.. 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. Write Enable for Volatile Status Register instruction will not set the Write Enable
Latch bit, it is only valid for the Write Status Registers instruction to change the volatile Status
Register bit values.

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 Byt es (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.

Quad I/O Fast Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around”
The Quad I/O Fast Read 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.

Dual I/O Read Manufacture ID/ Device ID (92H)
See Figure 22, the Dual I/O 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 by Dual I/O.
The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “92H” 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.

Read 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 24, The 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.

Read Unique ID Number (4Bh)
The Read Unique ID Number instruction accesses a factory-set read-only 64-bit number that is
unique to each BY25Q128 device. The ID number can be used in conjunction with user software
methods to help prevent copying or cloning of a system. The Read Unique ID instruction is initiated
by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “4Bh” followed by a four bytes of dummy
clocks. After which, the 64-bit ID is shifted out on the falling edge of SCLK as shown in Figure 25.

Deep Power-Down (B9H)
Although the standby current during normal operation is relatively low, standby curr ent 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 26
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 be
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 27, 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 28. The Device ID value for the BY25Q128AS 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 28, 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 29, 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 A7-A0 address reaches the last byte of the
register (Byte FFH), it will reset to 000H, the instruction is completed by driving /CS high.

Erase Security Registers (44H)
The BY25Q128AS 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 30, 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 Enab le 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.

7.3.10 Program Security Registers (42H)
See Figure 31, 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.

7.3.11 Enable Reset (66H) and Reset Device (99H)
Because of the small package and the limitation on the number of pins, the BY25Q128AS provides
a software Reset instruction instead of a dedicated RESET pin. Once the software Reset instruction
is accepted, any on-going internal operations 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 (WEL) status, Program/Erase Suspend status, Continuous Read Mode bit
setting (M7-M0) and Wrap Bit setting (W6-W4).
To avoid accidental reset, both “Enable Reset (66h)” and “Reset (99h)” instructions must be issued
in sequence. Any other commands other than “Reset (99h)” after the “Enable Reset (66h)”
command will disable the “Reset Enable” state. A new sequence of “Enable Reset (66h)” and
“Reset (99h)” is needed to reset the device. Once the Reset command is accepted by the device,
the device will take approximately 30us to reset. During this period, no command will be accepted.
The Enable Reset (66h) and Reset (99h) instruction sequence is shown in Figure 32.
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 recommende d to check
the BUSY bit and the SUS bit in Status Register before issuing the Reset command sequence.

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 34, the Page Program instruction is entered by driving /CS Low, followed by t he
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 i s 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 (BP4, BP3,
BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 5&6) is not executed.

Quad Page Program (32H)
The Quad Page Program instruction is for programming the memory using for 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 instruction must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit
before sending the Page Program instruction. The Quad Page Program instruction 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 instruction sequence is shown in Figure 35, .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 instruction 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 bit is reset. A Quad Page Program instruction
applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see
Table 5&6) is not executed

Fast Page Program (F2H)
The Fast Page Program instruction is used to program the memory. A Write Enable instruction must
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch bit before sending the Page Program
instruction.
The Fast 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 Fast 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.
The command sequence is shown in Figure 36, 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 o f the last data byte has been latched
in; otherwise the Fast 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.

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 37, The Sector Erase instruction sequence: /CS goes low-> sending Sector 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,

Chip Erase (60/C7H)
The Chip Erase instruction sets all memory within the device to the era sed 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
40.
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 is executed only
if all Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 0.The Chip Erase instruction is ignored if one or
more sectors are protected.

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 /block which is not in the same big
block(4Mbit). 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 41
The Write Status Registers instruction (01h) and Erase instructions (20h, 52h, 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, 42h, 32h,
F2h) are not allowed during Program Suspend. Program Suspend is valid only during the Page
Program operation. Write status register operation can't be suspended.

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 Susp end. 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/Pro gram Resume
instruction sequence is shown in Figure 42.
