GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ZB25VQ64 of non-volatile flash memory device supports the standard Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI). Traditional SPI single bit serial input and output (Single I/O or SIO) is supported as well as optional two
bit (Dual I/O or DIO) and four bit (quad I/O or QIO) serial protocols. This multiple width interface is called SPI
Multi-I/O or MIO.
The SPI protocols use only 4 to 6 signals:
Chip Select (CS#)
Serial Clock (CLK)
Serial Data
- IO0 (DI)
- IO1 (DO)
- IO2 (WP#)
- IO3 (HOLD# / RESET#)

ZB25VQ64
The ZB25VQ64 support the standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Dual/Quad I/O SPI as well as
2-clocks instruction cycle Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI): Serial Clock, Chip Select, Serial Data I/O0 (DI),
I/O1 (DO), I/O2 (WP#), and I/O3 (HOLD# / RESET#). SPI clock frequencies of up to 104MHz are supported
allowing equivalent clock rates of 208MHz (104MHz x 2) for Dual I/O and 416MHz (104MHz x 4) for Quad I/O
when using the Fast Read Dual/Quad I/O and QPI instructions. These transfer rates can outperform standard
Asynchronous 8 and 16-bit Parallel Flash memories. The Continuous Read Mode allows for efficient memory
access with as few as 8-clocks of instruction-overhead to read a 24-bit address, allowing true XIP (execute in
place) operation.
A Hold pin, Write Protect pin and programmable write protection, with top or bottom array control, provide
further control flexibility. Additionally, the device supports JEDEC standard manufacturer and device ID and
SFDP Register, a 64-bit Unique Serial Number and three 256-bytes Security Registers.
The ZB25VQ64 provides an ideal storage solution for systems with limited space, signal connections,
and power. These memories' flexibility and performance is better than ordinary serial flash devices. They are
ideal for code shadowing to RAM, executing code directly (XIP), and storing reprogrammable data.

Notes:
(1) IO0 and IO1 are used for Standard and Dual SPI instructions.
(2) IO0—IO3 are used for QUAD SPI / QPI instructions.
(3) WP# and HOLD# / RESET# functions are only available for Standard and Dual SPI.
4.1. Serial Data Input (DI) / IO0
The SPI Serial Data Input (DI) pin is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions,
address and data to be programmed. Data is latched on the rising edge of the Serial Clock (CLK) input pin.
The DI pin becomes IO0 - an input and output during Dual and Quad commands for receiving instructions,
address, and data to be programmed (values latched on rising edge of serial CLK clock signal) as well as
shifting out data (on the falling edge of CLK).
4.2. Serial Data Output (DO) / IO1
The SPI Serial Data Output (DO) pin is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out
on the falling edge of the Serial Clock (CLK) input pin. DO becomes IO1 - an input and output during Dual and
Quad commands for receiving instructions, addresses, and data to be programmed (values latched on rising
edge of serial CLK clock signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of CLK).
4.3. Serial Clock (CLK)
The SPI Serial Clock Input (CLK) pin provides the timing for serial input and output operations. ("See SPI
Mode")
4.4. Chip Select (CS#)
The SPI Chip Select (CS#) pin enables and disables device operation. When CS# is high the device is
deselected and the Serial Data Output pins are at high impedance.
When deselected, the devices power consumption will be at standby levels unless an internal erase,
program or status register cycle is in progress. When CS# is brought low the device will be selected, power
consumption will increase to active levels and instructions can be written to and data read from the device.
After power-up, CS# must transition from high to low before a new instruction will be accepted.

ZB25VQ64
4.5. Write Protect (WP#) / IO2
The Write Protect (WP#) pin can be used to prevent the Status Register from being written. Used in
conjunction with the Status Register‘s Block Protect (BP0, BP1 and BP2, TB, SEC, CMP) bits and Status
Register Protect (SRP0) bits, a portion or the entire memory array can be hardware protected.
The WP# function is not available when the Quad mode is enabled. 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 CLK signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of CLK).
4.6. HOLD (HOLD#) / IO3
The HOLD# pin allows the device to be paused while it is actively selected. When HRSW bit is ‗0‘ (factory
default is ‗0‘), the HOLD# pin is enabled. When HOLD# is brought low, while CS# is low, the DO pin will be at
high impedance and signals on the DI and CLK pins will be ignored (don‘t care). When HOLD# is brought high,
device operation can resume. The HOLD# function can be useful when multiple devices are sharing the same
SPI signals. The HOLD# pin is active low. When the QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O, the
HOLD# pin function is not available since this pin is used for IO3.
4.7. RESET (RESET#) / IO3
The RESET# pin allows the device to be reset by the controller. When HRSW bit is ‗1‘ (factory default is
‗0‘), the RESET# pin is enabled. Drive RESET# low for a minimum period of ~1us (tRESET*) will interrupt any
on-going external/internal operations, regardless the status of other SPI signals (CS#, CLK, DI, DO, WP#
and/or HOLD#). The Hardware Reset function is only available for standard SPI and Dual SPI operation,
when QE=0, the IO3 pin can be configured either as a HOLD# pin or as a RESET# pin depending on Status
Register setting, when QE=1, this pin is the Serial Data IO (IO3) for Quad I/O operation.

listed. All 4-kB sectors have the pattern XXX000h-XXXFFFh.
5.2. Security Registers
The ZB25VQ64 provides four 256-byte Security Registers. Each register can be used to store information
that can be permanently protected by programming One Time Programmable (OTP) lock bits in Status
Register-2.
Register 0 is used by ZBIT to store and protect the Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP)
information that is also accessed by the Read SFDP command. See Table 5.1.
The three additional Security Registers can be erased, programmed, and protected individually. These
registers may be used by system manufacturers to store and permanently protect security or other important

5.2.1 Security Register 0
Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP — JEDEC JESD216B):
This document defines the Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) revision B data structure for
ZB25VQ64 family.
The Read SFDP (RSFDP) command (5Ah) reads information from a separate flash memory address
space for device identification, feature, and configuration information, in accord with the JEDEC JESD216B
standard for Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters.
The SFDP data structure consists of a header table that identifies the revision of the JESD216 header
format that is supported and provides a revision number and pointer for each of the SFDP parameter tables
that are provided. The parameter tables follow the SFDP header. However, the parameter tables may be
placed in any physical location and order within the SFDP address space. The tables are not necessarily
adjacent nor in the same order as their header table entries.
The SFDP header points to the following parameter tables:
Basic Flash
– This is the original SFDP table.
The physical order of the tables in the SFDP address space is: SFDP Header, and Basic Flash. The
SFDP address space is programmed by ZBIT and read-only for the host system.
5.2.2 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) Address Map
The SFDP address space has a header starting at address zero that identifies the SFDP data structure
and provides a pointer to each parameter. One Basic Flash parameter is mandated by the JEDEC JESD216B
standard.

SFDP Minor Revision (06h = JEDEC JESD216 Revision B)
– This revision is backward compatible with all prior minor revisions. Minor
revisions are changes that define previously reserved fields, add fields to the
end, or that clarify definitions of existing fields. Increments of the minor revision
value indicate that previously reserved parameter fields may have been
assigned a new definition or entire Dwords may have been added to the
parameter table. However, the definition of previously existing fields is
unchanged and therefore remains backward compatible with earlier SFDP
parameter table revisions. Software can safely ignore increments of the minor
revision number, as long as only those parameters the software was designed
to support are used i.e. Previously reserved fields and additional Dwords must
be masked or ignored. Do not do a simple compare on the minor revision
number, looking only for a match with the revision number that the software is
designed to handle. There is no problem with using a higher number minor
revision.

ZB25VQ64
6. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
6.1 SPI Operations
6.1.1 SPI Modes
The ZB25VQ64 can be driven by an embedded microcontroller (bus master) in either of the two following
clocking modes.
Mode 0 with Clock Polarity (CPOL) = 0 and, Clock Phase (CPHA) = 0
Mode 3 with CPOL = 1 and, CPHA = 1
For these two modes, input data is always latched in on the rising edge of the CLK signal and the output
data is always available on the falling edge of the CLK clock signal.
The difference between the two modes is the clock polarity when the bus master is in standby mode and
not transferring any data.
CLK will stay at logic low state with CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0
CLK will stay at logic high state with CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1
CS#
CPOL=0_CPHA=0_CLK
CPOL=1_CPHA=1_CLK
DI
MSB
DO
MSB
Figure 6.1 SPI Modes
Timing diagrams throughout the rest of the document are generally shown as both mode 0 and 3 by
showing CLK as both high and low at the fall of CS#. In some cases a timing diagram may show only mode 0
with CLK low at the fall of CS#. In such case, mode 3 timing simply means clock is high at the fall of CS# so
no CLK rising edge set up or hold time to the falling edge of CS# is needed for mode 3.
CLK cycles are measured (counted) from one falling edge of CLK to the next falling edge of CLK. In
mode 0 the beginning of the first CLK cycle in a command is measured from the falling edge of CS# to the first
falling edge of CLK because CLK is already low at the beginning of a command.
6.1.2 Dual SPI Modes
The ZB25VQ64 supports Dual SPI Operation when using the Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) and Fast
Dual I/O (BBh) instruction. These features allow data to be transferred from the device at twice the rate
possible with the standard SPI. These instructions are ideal for quickly downloading code to RAM upon
Power-up (code-shadowing) or for executing non-speed-critical code directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When
using Dual SPI commands, the DI and DO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.
6.1.3 Quad SPI Modes
The ZB25VQ64 supports Quad SPI operation when using the Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh), Fast Read
Quad I/O (EBh) instruction, Word Read Quad I/O(E7h), and Octal Word Read Quad I/O(E3h). These
instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device four times the rate of ordinary Serial Flash. The
Quad Read instructions offer a significant improvement in continuous and random access transfer rates
allowing fast code-shadowing to RAM or execution directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Quad SPI
Zbit Semiconductor, Inc.

ZB25VQ64
instructions, the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the WP# and HOLD# / RESET# pins
become IO2 and IO3 respectively. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in
Status Register-2 to be set.
6.1.4 QPI Function
The ZB25VQ64 supports Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) operations 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 ―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. When using QPI instructions, the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0
and IO1, and the WP# and HOLD# / RESET# pins become IO2 and IO3 respectively.
6.1.5 Hold Function
For Standard SPI and Dual SPI operations, the HOLD# / RESET# (IO3) signal allows the device interface
operation to be paused while it is actively selected (when CS# is low). The Hold function may be useful in
cases where the SPI data and clock signals are shared with other devices. For example, if the page buffer is
only partially written when a priority interrupt requires use of the SPI bus, the Hold function can save the state
of the interface and the data in the buffer so programming command can resume where it left off once the bus
is available again. The Hold function is only available for standard SPI and Dual SPI operation, not during
Quad SPI.
To initiate a Hold condition, the device must be selected with CS# low. A Hold condition will activate on
the falling edge of the HOLD# signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low the Hold
condition will activate after the next falling edge of CLK. The Hold condition will terminate on the rising edge of
the HOLD# signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low the Hold condition will
terminate after the next falling edge of CLK. During a Hold condition, the Serial Data Output, (DO) or IO0 and
IO1, are high impedance and Serial Data Input, (DI) or IO0 and IO1, and Serial Clock (CLK) are ignored. The
Chip Select (CS#) signal should be kept active (low) for the full duration of the Hold operation to avoid
resetting the internal logic state of the device.
6.1.6 Software Reset & Hardware RESET# pin
The ZB25VQ64 can be reset to the initial power-on state by a software Reset sequence, either in SPI
mode or QPI mode. This sequence must include two consecutive commands: Enable Reset (66h) & Reset
(99h). If the command sequence is successfully accepted, the device will take approximately 10us (tRST) to
reset. No command will be accepted during the reset period.
ZB25VQ64 can also be configured to utilize a hardware RESET# pin. The HRSW bit in the Status
Register-3 is the configuration bit for HOLD# pin function or RESET# pin function. When HRSW=0 (factory
default), the pin acts as a HOLD# pin as described above; when HRSW =1, the pin acts as a RESET# pin.
Drive the RESET# pin low for a minimum period of ~1us (tRESET*) will reset the device to its initial power-on
state. Any on-going Program/Erase operation will be interrupted and data corruption may happen. While
RESET# is low, the device will not accept any command input.
If QE bit is set to 1, the HOLD# or RESET# function will be disabled, the pin will become one of the four
data I/O pins.
Hardware RESET# pin has the highest priority among all the input signals. Drive RESET# low for a
minimum period of ~1us (tRESET*) will interrupt any on-going external/internal operations, regardless the status
of other SPI signals (CS#, CLK, DI, DO, WP# and/or HOLD#).
Note:
1. While a faster RESET# pulse (as short as a few hundred nanoseconds) will often reset the device, a 1us minimum is recommended to
ensure reliable operation.

6.2. Status Register
The Read and Write Status Registers commands can be used to provide status and control of the flash
memory device.
Status Register-1 (SR1) and Status Register-2 (SR2) 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.
SR1 and SR2 contain non-volatile bits in locations SR1[7:2] and SR2[6:0] that control sector protection,
OTP Register Protection, Status Register Protection, and Quad mode. Bits located in SR2[7], SR1[1], and
SR1[0] are read only volatile bits for suspend, write enable, and busy status. These are updated by the
memory control logic. The SR1[1] write enable bit is set only by the Write Enable (06h) command and cleared
by the memory control logic when an embedded operation is completed.
Write access to the non-volatile Status Register bits is controlled by the state of the non-volatile Status
Register Protect bits SR1[7] and SR2[0] (SRP0, SRP1), the Write Enable command (06h) preceding a Write
Status Registers command, and while Quad mode is not enabled, the WP# pin.
A volatile version of bits SR2[6], SR2[1], and SR1[7:2] that control sector protection and Quad Mode is
used to control the behavior of these features after power up. During power up or software reset, these
volatile bits are loaded from the non-volatile version of the Status Register bits. The Write Enable for Volatile
Status Register (50h) command can be used to write these volatile bits when the command is followed by a
Write Status Registers (01h/31h) command. 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 access to the volatile SR1, SR2 and SR3 Status Register bits is controlled by the state of the
non-volatile Status Register Protect bits SR1[7] and SR2[0] (SRP0, SRP1), the Write Enable for Volatile
Status Register command (50h) preceding a Write Status Registers command, and the WP# pin while Quad
mode is not enabled.
Status Register-3 (SR3) is used to configure and provide status on the variable HOLD# or RESET#
function, Output Driver Strength, High Frequency Enable Bit, Write Protect Selection.
Write access to the volatile SR3 Status Register bits is controlled by Write Enable for Volatile Status
Register command (50h) preceding a Write Status Register command.

6.2.1 BUSY
BUSY is a read only bit in the status register ( SR1[0]) which is set to a ―1‖ state when the device is
executing a Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase or Write Status Register instruction.
During this time the device will ignore further instructions except for the Read Status Register instruction (see
tW, tPP, tSE, tBE, and tCE in AC Characteristics). When the program, erase or write status register instruction has
completed, the BUSY bit will be cleared to a ―0‖ state indicating the device is ready for further instructions.
6.2.2 Write Enable Latch (WEL)
Write Enable Latch (WEL) is a read only bit in the status register (SR1[1]) which is set to a 1 after
executing a Write Enable Instruction. The WEL status bit is cleared to a 0 when the device is written disabled.
A write disable state occurs upon power-up or after any of the following instructions: Write Disable, Page
Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase and Write Status Register.
6.2.3 Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0)
The Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) are non-volatile read / write bits in the Status Register (SR1[4:2]) that
provide Write Protection control and status. Block Protect bits can be set using the Write Status Registers
Command (see tW in Section 8.5). All, none or a portion of the memory array can be protected from Program
and Erase commands (see Section 6.4.2, Block Protection Maps). The factory default setting for the Block
Protection Bits is 0 (none of the array is protected.)
6.2.4 Top / Bottom Block Protect (TB)
The non-volatile Top / Bottom bit (TB SR1[5]) controls whether the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0)
protect from the Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array as shown in Section 6.4.2, Block Protection
Maps. The factory default setting is TB=0. The TB bit can be set with the Write Status Registers Command
depending on the state of the SRP0, SRP1 and WEL bits.
Zbit Semiconductor, Inc.

6.2.5 Sector / Block Protect (SEC)
The non-volatile Sector / Block Protect bit (SEC SR1[6]) controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0)
protect either 4-kB Sectors (SEC=1) or 64-kB Blocks (SEC=0) of the array as shown in Section 6.4.2, Block
Protection Maps. The default setting is SEC=0.
6.2.6 Complement Protect (CMP)
The Complement Protect bit (CMP SR2[6]) is a non-volatile read / write bit in the Status Register (SR2[6]).
It is used in conjunction with SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits to provide more flexibility for the array
protection. Once CMP is set to 1, previous array protection set by SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0 will be
reversed. For instance, when CMP=0, a top 4-kB sector can be protected while the rest of the array is not;
when CMP=1, the top 4-kB sector will become unprotected while the rest of the array become read-only.
Refer to Section 6.3.2, Block Protection Maps for details. The default setting is CMP=0.
6.2.7 The Status Register Protect (SRP1, SRP0)
The Status Register Protect bits (SRP1 and SRP0) are non-volatile read / write bits in the Status Register
(SR2[0] and SR1[7]). The SRP bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware
protection, power supply lock-down, or one time programmable (OTP) protection.

2. The One-Time Program feature is available upon special order. Contact Zbit for details.
3. Busy, WEL, and SUS (SR1[1:0] and SR2[7]) are volatile read only status bits that are never affected by the Write Status
Registers command.
4. The non-volatile version of CMP, QE, SRP1, SRP0, SEC, TB, and BP2-BP0 (SR2[6,1,0] and SR1[6:2]) bits and the OTP
LB3-LB1 bits are not writable when protected by the SRP bits and WP# as shown in the table. The non-volatile version of
these Status Register bits is selected for writing when the Write Enable (06h) command precedes the Write Status Registers
(01h) command.
5. The volatile version of HRSW, DRV1, DRV0, HFQ, WPS, CMP, QE, SRP1, SRP0, SEC, TB, and BP2-BP0 (SR3[7:4,2],
SR2[6,1,0] and SR1[6:2]) bits are not writable when protected by the SRP bits and WP# as shown in the table. The volatile
version of these Status Register bits is selected for writing when the Write Enable for volatile Status Register (50h)
command precedes the Write Status Registers (01h) command. There is no volatile version of the LB3-LB1 bits and these
bits are not affected by a volatile Write Status Registers command.
6.2.8 Erase / Program Suspend Status (SUS)
The Suspend Status bit is a read only bit in the status register (SR2[7]) that is set to 1 after executing an
Erase / Program Suspend (75h) command. The SUS status bit is cleared to 0 by Erase / Program Resume
(7Ah) command as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.
6.2.9 Security Register Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1)
The Security Register Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1) are non-volatile One Time Program (OTP) bits in Status
Register (SR2[5:2]) that provide the write protect control and status to the Security Registers. The default
state of LB[3:1] is 0, Security Registers 1 to 3 are unlocked. LB[3:1] can be set to 1 individually using the Write
Status Registers command. LB[3:1] are One Time Programmable (OTP), once it‘s set to 1, the corresponding

256-byte Security Register will become read-only permanently.
6.2.10 Quad Enable (QE)
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile read / write bit in the Status Register (SR2[1]) that allows
Quad SPI operation. When the QE bit is set to a 0 state (factory default), the WP# pin and HOLD# / RESET#
are enabled. When the QE bit is set to a 1, the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled, and WP# and HOLD# /
RESET# functions are disabled.
Note: If the WP# or HOLD# / RESET# pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation, the
QE bit should never be set to a 1.
6.2.11 HOLD# or RESET# Pin Function (HRSW)
The HRSW bit is used to determine whether HOLD# or RESET# function should be implemented on the
hardware pin for 8-pin packages. When HRSW=0, the pin acts as #HOLD; when HRSW=1, the pin acts as
RESET#. However, HOLD# or RESET# functions are only available when QE=0. If QE is set to 1, the HOLD#
and RESET# functions are disabled, the pin acts as a dedicated data I/O pin.
6.2.12 Output Driver Strength (DRV1, DRV0)
The DRV1 & DRV0 bits are used to determine the output driver strength for the Read operations.

0, 0
0, 1
1, 0
1, 1
Driver Strength
50%(default)
25%
75%
100%
6.2.13 High Frequency Enable Bit (HFQ)
The HFQ bit is used to determine whether the device is in Quad High Frequency Mode. When HFQ bit
sets to 1(default), it means the device is in Quad High Frequency Mode, when HFQ bit sets 0, it means the
device is not in Quad High Frequency Mode. After the HFQ is set, the device will maintain a slightly higher
standby current (ICC8) than standard SPI operation.
6.2.14 Write Protect Selection (WPS)
The WPS bit is used to select which Write Protect scheme should be used. When WPS=0, the device will
use the combination of CMP, SEC, TB, BP[2:0] bits to protect a specific area of the memory array. When
WPS=1, the device will utilize the Individual Block Locks to protect any individual sector or blocks. The default
value for all Individual Block Lock bits is 1 upon device power on or after reset.
6.3. Write Protection
Applications that use non-volatile memory must take into consideration the possibility of noise and other
adverse system conditions that may compromise data integrity. To address this concern the ZB25VQ64
provides the following data protection mechanisms:
6.3.1 Write Protect Features
Device resets when VCC is below threshold
Time delay write disable after Power-Up
Write enable / disable commands and automatic write disable after erase or program
Command length protection
Zbit Semiconductor, Inc.

ZB25VQ64
- All commands that Write, Program or Erase must complete on a byte boundary (CS# driven high after
a full 8 bits have been clocked) otherwise the command will be ignored.
Software and Hardware write protection using Status Register control
- WP# input protection
- Lock Down write protection until next power-up or Software Reset
- One-Time Program (OTP) write protection
Write Protection using the Deep Power-Down command
Upon power-up or at power-down, the ZB25VQ64 will maintain a reset condition while VCC is below the
threshold value of VWI, (see Figure 8.1). While reset, all operations are disabled and no commands are
recognized. During power-up and after the VCC voltage exceeds VWI, all program and erase related
commands are further disabled for a time delay of tPUW. This includes the Write Enable, Page Program,
Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase and the Write Status Registers commands. Note that the chip select
pin (CS#) must track the VCC supply level at power-up until the VCC-min level and tVSL time delay is reached.
If needed a pull-up resistor on CS# can be used to accomplish this.
After power-up the device is automatically placed in a write-disabled state with the Status Register Write
Enable Latch (WEL) set to a 0. A Write Enable command must be issued before a Page Program, Sector
Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase or Write Status Registers command will be accepted. After completing a
program, erase or write command the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is automatically cleared to a write-disabled
state of 0.
Software controlled main flash array write protection is facilitated using the Write Status Registers
command to write the Status Register (SR1,SR2) and Block Protect (SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits.
The BP method allows a portion as small as 4-kB sector or the entire memory array to be configured as
read only. Used in conjunction with the Write Protect (WP#) pin, changes to the Status Register can be
enabled or disabled under hardware control. See the Table 6.4 for further information.
Additionally, the Deep Power-Down (DPD) command offers an alternative means of data protection as all
commands are ignored during the DPD state, except for the Release from Deep-Power-Down (RES ABh)
command. Thus, preventing any program or erase during the DPD state.

6.4. Page Program
To program one data byte, two instructions are required: Write Enable (WREN), which is one byte, and a
Page Program (PP) sequence, which consists of four bytes plus data. This is followed by the internal Program
cycle (of duration tPP). To spread this overhead, the Page Program (PP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes to
be programmed at a time (changing bits from 1 to 0), provided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the
same page of memory.
6.5. Sector Erase, Block Erase and Chip Erase
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bits to be reset from 1 to 0. Before this can be applied, the
bytes of memory need to be erased to all 1s (FFh). This can be achieved a sector at a time, using the Sector
Erase (SE) instruction, a block at a time using the Block Erase (BE) instruction or throughout the entire
memory, using the Chip Erase (CE) instruction. This starts an internal Erase cycle (of duration tSE tBE or tCE).
The Erase instruction must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
6.6. Polling during a Write, Program or Erase Cycle
A further improvement in the time to Write Status Register (WRSR), Program (PP) or Erase (SE, BE or
CE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst case delay (t W , tPP, tSE, tBE or tCE). The Write In Progress
(WIP) bit is provided in the Status Register so that the application program can monitor its value, polling it to
establish when the previous Write cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle is complete.
6.7. Active Power, Stand-by Power and Deep Power-Down Modes
When Chip Select (CS#) is Low, the device is enabled, and in the Active Power mode. When Chip Select
(CS#) is High, the device is disabled, but could remain in the Active Power mode until all internal cycles have
completed (Program, Erase, Write Status Register). The device then goes into the Standby Power mode. The
device consumption drops to ICC1.
The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the specific instruction (the Enter Deep Power-down Mode
(DP) instruction) is executed. The device consumption drops further to ICC2. The device remains in this mode
until another specific instruction (the Release from Deep Power-down Mode and Read Device ID (RDI)
instruction) is executed.
All other instructions are ignored while the device is in the Deep Power-down mode. This can be used as
an extra software protection mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to protect the device from
inadvertent Program or Erase instructions.

7. INSTRUCTIONS
The instruction set of the ZB25VQ64 consists of forty basic instructions that are fully controlled through
the SPI bus. Instructions are initiated with the falling edge of Chip Select (CS#). The first byte of data clocked
into the DI input provides the instruction code. Data on the DI input is sampled on the rising edge of clock with
most significant bit (MSB) first.
The QPI instruction set of the ZB25VQ64 consists of 32 basic instructions that are fully controlled through
the SPI bus (see Instruction Set Table 7.5). Instructions are initiated with the falling edge of Chip Select (CS#).
The first byte of data clocked through IO[3:0] pins provides the instruction code. Data on all four IO pins are
sampled on the rising edge of clock with most significant bit (MSB) first. All QPI instructions, addresses, data
and dummy bytes are using all four IO pins to transfer every byte of data with every two serial clocks (CLK).
Instructions vary in length from a single byte to several bytes and may be followed by address bytes, data
bytes, dummy bytes (don‘t care), and in some cases, a combination. Instructions are completed with the rising
edge of edge CS#. Clock relative timing diagrams for each instruction are included in figures 7.1 through 7.47
All read instructions can be completed after any clocked bit. However, all instructions that Write, Program or
Erase must complete on a byte boundary (CS driven high after a full 8-bits have been clocked) otherwise the
instruction will be ignored. This feature further protects the device from inadvertent writes. Additionally, while
the memory is being programmed or erased, or when the Status Register is being written, all instructions
except for Read Status Register and Erase/Program Suspend will be ignored until the program or erase cycle
completes.

7.1 Configuration and Status Commands
7.1.1 Read Status Register (05h/35h/15h)
The Read Status Register commands allow the 8-bit Status Registers to be read. The command is
entered by driving CS# low and shifting the instruction code ―05h‖ for Status Register-1, ―35h‖ for Status
Register-2, ―15h‖ for Status Register-3 into the DI pin on the rising edge of CLK. The Status Register bits are
then shifted out on the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in
Figure 7.1. The Status Register bits are shown in Section 6.2, Status Registers.
The Read Status Register-1 (05h) command may be used at any time, even during a Program, Erase, or
Write Status Registers cycle. This allows the BUSY status bit to be checked to determine when the operation
is complete and if the device can accept another command.

7.1.3 Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50h)
The non-volatile Status Register bits described in section 6.2 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. To write the volatile values into the Status Register bits, the Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50h)
instruction must be issued prior to a Write Status Register (01h) instruction. Write Enable for Volatile Status
Register instruction (Figure 7.3) will not set the Write Enable Latch (WEL)bit, it is only valid for the Write
Status Register instruction to change the volatile Status Register bit values.

completion of the Write Status Register, Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase and Chip Erase
instructions.

7.1.5 Write Status Register (01h/31h/11h)
The Write Status Registers command allows the Status Registers to be written. Only non-volatile Status
Register bits SRP0, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0 (SR1[7:2]) CMP, LB3, LB2, LB1, QE, SRP1 (SR2[6:0]), and
HRSW, DRV1, DRV0, HFQ, WPS, (SR3[7:4,2])can be written. All other Status Register bit locations are
read-only and will not be affected by the Write Status Registers command. LB[3:0] are non-volatile OTP bits;
once each is set to 1, it cannot be cleared to 0. The Status Register bits are shown in Section 6.2, Status
Registers. Any reserved bits should only be written to their default value.
To write non-volatile Status Register bits, a standard Write Enable (06h) command must previously have
been executed for the device to accept the Write Status Registers Command (Status Register bit WEL must

ZB25VQ64
equal 1). Once write enabled, the command is entered by driving CS# low, sending the instruction code ―01h‖,
and then writing the Status Register data bytes as illustrated in Figure 7.5.
To write volatile Status Register bits, a Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50h) command must
have been executed prior to the Write Status Registers command (Status Register bit WEL remains 0).
However, SRP1 and LB3, LB2, LB1, cannot be changed because of the OTP protection for these bits. Upon
power-off, the volatile Status Register bit values will be lost, and the non-volatile Status Register bit values will
be restored when power on again.
To complete the Write Status Registers command, the CS# pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of
a data value is clocked in (CS# must be driven high on an 8-bit boundary). If this is not done the Write Status
Registers command will not be executed.
The Write Status Register instruction allows the Status Register to be written. A Write Enable instruction
must previously have been executed for the device to accept the Write Status Register Instruction (Status
Register bit WEL must equal to 1). Once write enabled, the instruction is entered by driving CS# low, sending
the instruction code ―01h‖, and then writing the status register data byte as illustrated in Figure 7.5.
During non-volatile Status Register write operation (06h combined with 01h/31h), after CS# is driven high,
the self-timed Write Status Register cycle will commence for a time duration of tW (See AC Characteristics).
While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be
accessed to check the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Write Status Register cycle and
a 0 when the cycle is finished and ready to accept other instructions again. After the Write Status Register
cycle has finished, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register will be cleared to 0.
During volatile Status Register write operation (50h combined with 01h/31h/11h), after CS# is driven high,
the Status Register bits will be refreshed to the new values. BUSY bit will remain 0 during the Status Register
bit refresh period.
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.

The Page Program instruction allows up to 256 bytes of data to be programmed at previously erased to
all 1s (FFh) memory locations. A Write Enable instruction must be executed before the device will accept the
Page Program Instruction (Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the
CS# pin low then shifting the instruction code ―02h‖ followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and at least one
data byte, into the DI pin. The CS# pin must be held low for the entire length of the instruction while data is
being sent to the device. The Page Program instruction sequence is shown in Figure 7.6.
If an entire 256 byte page is to be programmed, the last address byte (the 8 least significant address bits)
should be set to 0. If the last address byte is not zero, and the number of clocks exceeds the remaining page
length, the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page. In some cases, less than 256 bytes (a partial
page) can be programmed without having any effect on other bytes within the same page. One condition to
perform a partial page program is that the number of clocks cannot exceed the remaining page length. If more
than 256 bytes are sent to the device the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page and overwrite
previously sent data.
As with the write and erase instructions, the CS# pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last
byte has been latched. If this is not done the Page Program instruction will not be executed. After CS# is
driven high, the self-timed Page Program instruction will commence for a time duration of t pp (See AC
Characteristics). While the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still
be accessed for checking the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Page Program cycle and
becomes a 0 when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions again. After the
Page Program cycle has finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The
Page Program instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by the Block Protect (TB,
SEC, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits (see Status Register Memory Protection table).
