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 68&69). 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 ope ration 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.

Signal Description
BY25Q32CS
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.

Signal Description

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
BY25Q32CS
4. SPI Operation
4.1 Standard SPI Instructions
The BY25Q32CS 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 BY25Q32CS 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 BY25Q32CS 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.
4.4 QPI Instructions
The BY25Q32CS supports Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) operations only when the device is
switched from Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode to QPI mode using the “Enter QPI (38h)” instruction.
The typical SPI protocol requires that the byte-long instruction code being shifted into the device
only via DI pin in eight serial clocks. The QPI mode utilizes all four IO pins to input the instruction
code, thus only two serial clocks are required. This can significantly reduce the SPI instruction
overhead and improve system performance in an XIP environment. Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode
and QPI mode are exclusive. Only one mode can be active at any given time. “Enter QPI (38h)”
and “Exit QPI (FFh)” instructions are used to switch between these two modes. Upon power-up or
after a software reset using “Enable Reset (66h)” and “Reset (99h)” instruction, the default state of
the device is Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode. To enable QPI mode, the non - volatile Quad Enable
bit (QE) in Status Register-2 is required to be set to 1. When using QPI instructions, the DI and DO
pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the /WP and /HOLD pins become IO2 and IO3
respectively.

Operation Features
BY25Q32CS
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 66). 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 instruction 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 66).
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.

Operation Features
BY25Q32CS
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).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.

Status Register Table
See Table 3 for detail description of the Status Register bits. Status Register-3 (SR3), Status
Register-2 (SR2) and Status Register-1 (SR1) can be used to provide status on the availability of
the Flash memory array: whether the device is write enabled or disabled, the state of write
protection, Quad SPI setting, Security Register lock status, and Erase/Program Suspend status,
output driver strength, and so on.

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 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 5 and Table 6).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
SPI and QPI 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).
QE bit is required to be set to 1 before issuing an “Enter QPI (38h)” instruction to switch the device
from Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode to QPI mode; otherwise the command (38h) will be ignored.
When the device is in QPI mode, QE bit will remain to be 1. A “Write Status Register” command in
QPI mode cannot change QE bit from 1 to 0.
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.
5.4.2.9 DRV1/DRV0
The DRV1&DRV0 bits are used to determine the output driver strength for the Read instruction .

Instructions Description

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 8/9/10, 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.

Notes:
1. Data bytes are shifted with Most Significant Bit first. Byte fields with data in parenthesis
“( )” indicate data output from the device on 1, 2 or 4 IO pins.
2. The Status Register contents and Device ID will repeat continuously until /CS terminates
the instruction.
3. At least one byte of data input is required for Page Program, Quad Page Program and
Program Security Registers, up to 256 bytes of data input. If more than 256 bytes of
data are sent to the device, the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page and
overwrite previously sent data.
4. Write Status Register-1 (01h) can also be used to program Status Register-1&2, see
section 7.1.4.
5. Security Register Address:
Security Register 1
A23-16 = 00h
A15-8 = 10h
A7-0 = byte address
Security Register 2
A23-16 = 00h
A15-8 = 20h
A7-0 = byte address
Security Register 3
A23-16 = 00h
A15-8 = 30h
A7-0 = byte address
6. Dual SPI address input format:
IO0 = A22, A20, A18, A16, A14, A12, A10, A8, A6, A4, A2, A0, M6, M4, M2, M0
IO1 = A23, A21, A19, A17, A15, A13, A11, A9, A7, A5, A3, A1, M7, M5, M3, M1
7. Dual SPI data output format:
IO0 = (D6, D4, D2, D0)
IO1 = (D7, D5, D3, D1)
8. Quad SPI address input format:
IO0 = A20, A16, A12, A8, A4, A0, M4, M0

Read Status Register (05H or 35H or 15H)
See Figure 7.a(SPI mode)& Figure 7.b (QPI mode)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, The instruction code “15H”, the SO will output Status Register bits S23~16 .

Write Status Register (01H or 31H or 11H)
See Figure 8.a (SPI mode)& Figure 8.b (QPI mode), 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 or sixteen bit of th e data byte
has been latched in. If not, the Write Status Register instruction is not executed. As soon 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 instruction is not executed
once the Hardware Protected Mode is entered.

The BY25Q32CS is also backward compatible to BoyaMicro’s previous generations of serial flash
memories, in which the Status Register-1&2 can be written using a single “Write Status Register-1
(01h)” command. To complete the Write Status Register- 1&2 instruction, the /CS pin must be driven
high after the sixteenth bit of data that is clocked in as shown in Figure 8.c(SPI mode) & Figure
8.d(QPI mode). If /CS is driven high after the eighth clock, the Write Status Register -1 (01h)
instruction will only program the Status Register-1, the Status Register-2 will not be affected
(Previous generations will clear CMP and QE bits).

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.

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.
The Read Data (03h) instruction is only supported in Standard SPI mode.

Fast Read (0Bh) in QPI Mode
The Fast Read instruction is also supported in QPI mode. When QPI mode is enabled, the number
of dummy clocks is configured by the “Set Read Parameters (C0h)” instruction to accommodate a
wide range of applications 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 2, 4, 6 or 8. The default number of dummy clocks
upon power up or after a Reset instruction is 2.

Dual I/O Fast Read (BBH)
See Figure 14.a, the Dual I/O Fast Read instruction is similar to the Dual Output Fast Read
instruction 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, each bit being latched in during the rising edge of SCLK, then
the memory contents are shifted out 2-bit per clock cycle from SI and SO. 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”
The Dual I/O Fast Read instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-4) after the inputs 3-byte address A23-A0).If the “continuous
Read Mode” bits(M5-4)=(1,0),then the next Dual I/O fast Read instruction (after CS/ is raised and
then lowered) does not require the BBH instruction code. The instruction sequence is shown in the
following Figure14.b.If the “continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) does not equal (1,0),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 (M5-4) before issuing normal instruction.

Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH)
See Figure 15.a, 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.
Quad I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Quad I/O Fast Read instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 16, If
the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4 )= (1,0), then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction(after
/CS is raised and then lowered) does not require the EBH instruction code, The instruction
sequence is shown in the followed Figure 15.b. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not
equal to (1,0), the next instruction requires the first EBH instruction code, thus returning to normal
operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can also be used to reset (M5 -4) before
issuing normal command.

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.

Quad I/O Word Fast Read (E7H)
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read instruction is similar to the Quad Fast Read instruction except that
the lowest address bit (A0) must equal 0 and 2-dummy clock. The instruction sequence is shown
in the followed Figure 16.a, 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 (S9) must be set to enable for the Quad I/O Word Fast
Read instruction.
Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting
the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte Address bits (A23-0). If the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M5-4) = (1, 0), then the next Quad I/O Fast Read instruction (after
/CS is raised and then lowered) does not require the E7H instruction code, the instruction sequence
is shown in the followed Figure 16.b. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not equal to
(1,0), the next instruction requires the first E7H instruction code, thus returning to normal operation.
A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command can also be used to reset (M5 -4) before issuing normal
command.

Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around” in standard SPI mode
The Quad I/O Fast Read instruction can also be used to access a specific portion within a page by

Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h)
The Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh)
instruction except that the lower four Address bits (A0, A1, A2, A3) must equal 0. As a result, the
dummy clocks are not required, which further reduces the instruction overhead allowing even faster
random access for code execution (XIP). The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be
set to enable the Octal Word Read Quad I/O Instruction.
Octal Word Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Octal Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting
the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7- 0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure
17.a. The upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Octal Word Read Quad I/O
instruction through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits
of the (M3-0) are don’t care (“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling
edge of the first data out clock.
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 = (1,0), then the next Octal Word Read Quad I/O
instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) does not require the E3h instruction code, as
shown in Figure 17.b. This reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read
address to be immediately entered after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits
M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the next instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the
first byte instruction code, thus returning to normal operation. It is recommended to input FFh on
SI for the next instruction (8 clocks), to ensure M4 = 1 and return the device to normal operation.

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 23.a (SPI mode)&Figure 23.b (QPI mode), 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 t hat 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 BY25Q32 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 24.

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 25.a (SPI mode) &Figure 25.b (QPI mode).
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 th e
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 26.a (SPI mode) &Figure 26.b (QPI mode), 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 The Device ID value for the BY25Q32CS 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 26.c (SPI mode) &Figure 26.d
(QPI mode), 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 27, 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 BY25Q32CS 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 28, 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 selftimed 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.

See Figure 29, 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 b efore 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 BY25Q32CS 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 30.a(SPI
mode)& Figure 30.b(QPI mode) .
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.

See Figure 31,The Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard provides a consistent
method of describing the functional and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a standard
set of internal parameter tables. These parameter tables can be interrogated by host system
software to enable adjustments needed to accommodate divergent features from multiple

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 32.a (SPI mode) & Figure 32.b (QPI mode), 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 goe s 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 (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 33, .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 ef fects 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

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 ( BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits (see Table 5&6) is not executed.

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
38.
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 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/Program Resume
instruction sequence is shown in Figure 40.a (SPI mode) & Figure 40.b (QPI mode).

7.4.10 Set Read Parameters (C0H)
In QPI mode, to accommodate a wide range of applications with different needs for either maximum
read frequency or minimum data access latency, “Set Read Parameters (C0h)” instruction can be
used to configure the number of dummy clocks for “Fast Read (0Bh)”, “Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh)”
& “Burst Read with Wrap (0Ch)” instructions, and to configure the number of bytes of “Wrap Length”
for the “Burst Read with Wrap (0Ch)” instruction.
In Standard SPI mode, the “Set Read Parameters (C0h)” instruction is not accepted. The dummy
clocks for various Fast Read instructions in Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode are fixed, please refer
to the Instruction Table 2 for details. The “Wrap Length” is set by W5-4 bit in the “Set Burst with
Wrap (77h)” instruction. This setting will remain unchanged when the device is switched from
Standard SPI mode to QPI mode.
The default “Wrap Length” after a power up or a Reset instruction is 8 bytes, the default number of
dummy clocks is 4. The number of dummy clocks is only programmable for “Fast Read (0Bh)”,
“Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh)” & “Burst Read with Wrap (0Ch)” instructions in the QPI mode.
Whenever the device is switched from SPI mode to QPI mode, the number of dummy clocks and
“Wrap Length” should be set again, prior to any 0Bh, EBh or 0Ch instructions.

7.4.11 Enter QPI Mode (38H)
The BY25Q32CS support both Standard/Dual/Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and Quad
Peripheral Interface (QPI). However, SPI mode and QPI mode cannot be used at the same time.
“Enter QPI (38h)” instruction is the only way to switch the device from SPI mode to QPI mode.
Upon power-up, the default state of the device upon is Standard/Dual/Quad SPI mode. This
provides full backward compatibility with earlier generations of BoyaMicro serial flash memories.
See Instruction Set Table 1- 2 for all supported SPI commands. In order to switch the device to QPI
mode, the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2 must be set to 1 first, and an “Enter QPI (38h)”
instruction must be issued. If the Quad Enable (QE) bit is 0, the “Enter QPI (38h)” instru ction will
be ignored and the device will remain in SPI mode.
See Instruction Set Table 3 for all the commands supported in QPI mode.
When the device is switched from SPI mode to QPI mode, the existing Write Enable and Erase
Suspend status, and the Wrap Length setting will remain unchanged.
