Description M25PX32
6/68
1 Description
The M25PX32 is a 32 Mbit (4 Mb x 8) serial Flash memory, with advanced write protection
mechanisms, accessed by a high speed SPI-compatible bus.
The M25PX32 supports two new, high-performance dual input/output instructions:
Dual Output Fast Read (DOFR) instruction used to read data at up to 75 MHz by using
both pin DQ1 and pin DQ0 as outputs
Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction used to program data at up to 75 MHz by
using both pin DQ1 and pin DQ0 as inputs
These new instructions double the transfer bandwidth for read and program operations.
The memory can be programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time, using the Page Program
instruction.
The memory is organized as 64 sectors that are further divided into 16 subsectors each
(1024 subsectors in total).
The memory can be erased a 4-Kbyte subsector at a time, a 64-Kbyte sector at a time, or as
a whole. It can be Write Protected by software using a mix of volatile and non-volatile
protection features, depending on the application needs. The protection granularity is of 64
Kbytes (sector granularity).
The M25PX32 has 64 one-time-programmable bytes (OTP bytes) that can be read and
programmed using two dedicated instructions, Read OTP (ROTP) and Program OTP
(POTP), respectively. These 64 bytes can be permanently locked by a particular Program
OTP (POTP) sequence. Once they have been locked, they become read-only and this state
cannot be reverted.
Further features are available as additional security options. More information on these
security features is available, upon completion of an NDA (nondisclosure agreement), and
are, therefore, not described in this datasheet. For more details of this option contact your
nearest Numonyx Sales office.

2 Signal descriptions
2.1 Serial Data output (DQ1)
This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data are shifted out on
the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
During the Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction, pin DQ1 is used as an input. It is
latched on the rising edge of the Serial Clock (C).
2.2 Serial Data input (DQ0)
This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions,
addresses, and the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial
Clock (C).
During the Dual Output Fast Read (DOFR) instruction, pin DQ0 is used as an output. Data
are shifted out on the falling edge of the Serial Clock (C).
2.3 Serial Clock (C)
This input signal provides the timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data
present at Serial Data input (DQ0) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data
on Serial Data output (DQ1) changes after the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.4 Chip Select (S)
When this input signal is High, the device is deselected and Serial Data output (DQ1) is at
high impedance. Unless an internal Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in
progress, the device will be in the Standby Power mode (this is not the Deep Power-down
mode). Driving Chip Select (S) Low enables the device, placing it in the Active Power mode.
After power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select (S) is required prior to the start of any
instruction.
2.5 Hold (HOLD)
The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without
deselecting the device.
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data output (DQ1) is high impedance, and Serial Data
input (DQ0) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t care.
To start the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low.

2.6 Write Protect/Enhanced Program supply voltage (W/VPP)
W/VPP is both a control input and a power supply pin. The two functions are selected by the
voltage range applied to the pin.
If the W/VPP input is kept in a low voltage range (0 V to VCC) the pin is seen as a control
input. This input signal is used to freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected
against program or erase instructions (as specified by the values in the BP2, BP1 and BP0
bits of the Status Register. See Table 9).
If VPP is in the range of VPPH (as defined in Table 15) it acts as an additional power
supply.(1)
2.7 VCC supply voltage
VCC is the supply voltage.
2.8 VSS ground
VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage.
1. Avoid applying VPPH to the W/VPP pin during Bulk Erase.
M25PX32 SPI modes
11/68
3 SPI modes
These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of
the two following modes:
CPOL=0, CPHA=0
CPOL=1, CPHA=1
For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and
output data is available from the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 6, is the clock polarity when the
bus master is in Standby mode and not transferring data:
C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)
C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)
Figure 5. Bus Master and memory devices on the SPI bus
1. The Write Protect (W) and Hold (HOLD) signals should be driven, High or Low as appropriate.
Figure 5 shows an example of three devices connected to an MCU, on an SPI bus. Only
one device is selected at a time, so only one device drives the Serial Data output (DQ1) line
at a time, the other devices are high impedance. Resistors R (represented in Figure 5)
ensure that the M25PX32 is not selected if the Bus Master leaves the S line in the high
impedance state. As the Bus Master may enter a state where all inputs/outputs are in high
impedance at the same time (for example, when the Bus Master is reset), the clock line (C)
must be connected to an external pull-down resistor so that, when all inputs/outputs become
high impedance, the S line is pulled High while the C line is pulled Low (thus ensuring that S
and C do not become High at the same time, and so, that the tSHCH requirement is met).
The typical value of R is 100 kΩ, assuming that the time constant R*Cp (Cp = parasitic
capacitance of the bus line) is shorter than the time during which the Bus Master leaves the
SPI bus in high impedance.

4 Operating features
4.1 Page programming
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.
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the Page Program (PP) instruction to
program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several Page
Program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Page Program (PP)
and Table 18: A C char acteri sti cs).
4.2 Dual Input Fast Program
The Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction makes it possible to program up to 256
bytes using two input pins at the same time (by changing bits from 1 to 0).
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP)
instruction to program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence rather to using
several Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) sequences each containing only a few bytes (see
Section 6 .1 2: Du al Inpu t Fast Pr ogram (DIF P ) ).
4.3 Subsector Erase, Sector Erase and Bulk 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 have been erased to all 1s (FFh). This can be
achieved either a subsector at a time, using the Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction, a sector
at a time, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, or throughout the entire memory, using
the Bulk Erase (BE) instruction. This starts an internal Erase cycle (of duration tSSE, tSE or
tBE).
The Erase instruction must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction.
4.4 Polling during a Write, Program or Erase cycle
A further improvement in the time to Write Status Register (WRSR), Program OTP (POTP),
Program (PP), Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) or Erase (SSE, SE or BE) can be achieved
by not waiting for the worst case delay (tW, tPP
, tSSE, tSE, or tBE). 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.

4.5 Active Power, Standby Power and Deep Power-down modes
When Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is selected, and in the Active Power mode.
When Chip Select (S) is High, the device is deselected, but could remain in the Active
Power mode until all internal cycles have completed (Program, Erase, Write Status
Register). The device then goes in to the Standby Power mode. The device consumption
drops to ICC1.
The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the specific instruction (the Deep Power-
down (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 (RDP) instruction) is executed.
While in the Deep Power-down mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase
instructions (see Deep Power-down (DP)), this can be used as an extra software protection
mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to protect the device from inadvertent
Write, Program or Erase instructions.
4.6 Status Register
The Status Register contains a number of status and control bits that can be read or set (as
appropriate) by specific instructions. See Section 6.4: Read Statu s Register (RDSR) for a
detailed description of the Status Register bits.

4.7 Protection modes
There are protocol-related and specific hardware and software protection modes. They are
described below.
4.7.1 Protocol-related protections
The environments where non-volatile memory devices are used can be very noisy. No SPI
device can operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the
M25PX32 features the following data protection mechanisms:
Power On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide protection against
inadvertent changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification
Program, Erase and Write Status Register instructions are checked that they consist of
a number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for
execution
All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN)
instruction to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state
by the following events:
Power-up
Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion
Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion
Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instruction completion
Program OTP (POTP) instruction completion
Page Program (PP) instruction completion
Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction completion
Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction completion
Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion
Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion
In addition to the low power consumption feature, the Deep Power-down mode offers
extra software protection, as all Write, Program and Erase instructions are ignored.

4.7.2 S p eci fi c ha rdware and software protection
There are two software protected modes, SPM1 and SPM2, that can be combined to protect
the memory array as required. The SPM2 can be locked by hardware with the help of the W
input pin.
SPM1 and SPM2
The first software protected mode (SPM1) is managed by specific Lock Registers
assigned to each 64 Kbyte sector.
The Lock Registers can be read and written using the Read Lock Register (RDLR) and
Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instructions.
In each Lock Register two bits control the protection of each sector: the Write Lock bit
and the Lock Down bit.
Write Lock bit:
The Write Lock bit determines whether the contents of the sector can be modified
(using the Write, Program or Erase instructions). When the Write Lock bit is set to
‘1’, the sector is write protected – any operations that attempt to change the data
in the sector will fail. When the Write Lock bit is reset to ‘0’, the sector is not write
protected by the Lock Register, and may be modified.
Lock Down bit:
The Lock Down bit provides a mechanism for protecting software data from simple
hacking and malicious attack. When the Lock Down bit is set, ‘1’, further
modification to the Write Lock and Lock Down bits cannot be performed. A power-
up, is required before changes to these bits can be made. When the Lock Down
bit is reset, ‘0’, the Write Lock and Lock Down bits can be changed.
The definition of the Lock Register bits is given in Table 9: Lock Register out.
the second software protected mode (SPM2) uses the Block Protect bits (see
Section 6. 4.3: BP2 , BP1, BP0 bits ) and the Top/Bottom bit (see Section 6.4.4: TB bit) to
allow part of the memory to be configured as read-only.

As a second level of protection, the Write Protect signal (applied on the W/VPP pin) can
freeze the Status Register in a read-only mode. In this mode, the Block Protect bits (BP2,
BP1, BP0) and the Status Register Write Disable bit (SRWD) are protected. For more
details, see Secti on 6. 5 : Wr i t e Stat u s Re gi ster (W RS R).

4.8 Hold condition
The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without
resetting the clocking sequence. However, taking this signal Low does not terminate any
Write Status Register, Program or Erase cycle that is currently in progress.
To enter the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) Low.
The Hold condition starts on the falling edge of the Hold (HOLD) signal, provided that this
coincides with Serial Clock (C) being Low (as shown in Figure 7).
The Hold condition ends on the rising edge of the Hold (HOLD) signal, provided that this
coincides with Serial Clock (C) being Low.
If the falling edge does not coincide with Serial Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition
starts after Serial Clock (C) next goes Low. Similarly, if the rising edge does not coincide
with Serial Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition ends after Serial Clock (C) next goes
Low. (This is shown in Figure 7).
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data output (DQ1) is high impedance, and Serial Data
input (DQ0) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t care.
Normally, the device is kept selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low, for the whole duration
of the Hold condition. This is to ensure that the state of the internal logic remains unchanged
from the moment of entering the Hold condition.
If Chip Select (S) goes High while the device is in the Hold condition, this has the effect of
resetting the internal logic of the device. To restart communication with the device, it is
necessary to drive Hold (HOLD) High, and then to drive Chip Select (S) Low. This prevents
the device from going back to the Hold condition.

6 Instructions
All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, most significant bit
first.
Serial Data input(s) DQ0 (DQ1) is (are) sampled on the first rising edge of Serial Clock (C)
after Chip Select (S) is driven Low. Then, the one-byte instruction code must be shifted in to
the device, most significant bit first, on Serial Data input(s) DQ0 (DQ1), each bit being
latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction set is listed in Table 5.
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.
In the case of a Read Data Bytes (READ), Read Data Bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ),
Dual Output Fast Read (DOFR), Read OTP (ROTP), Read Lock Registers (RDLR), Read
Status Register (RDSR), Read Identification (RDID) or Release from Deep Power-down
(RDP) instruction, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence.
Chip Select (S) can be driven High after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted
out.
In the case of a Page Program (PP), Program OTP (POTP), Dual Input Fast Program
(DIFP), Subsector Erase (SSE), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE), Write Status Register
(WRSR), Write to Lock Register (WRLR), Write Enable (WREN), Write Disable (WRDI) or
Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, Chip Select (S) must be driven High exactly at a byte
boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is not executed. That is, Chip Select (S)
must driven High when the number of clock pulses after Chip Select (S) being driven Low is
an exact multiple of eight.
All attempts to access the memory array during a Write Status Register cycle, Program
cycle or Erase cycle are ignored, and the internal Write Status Register cycle, Program
cycle or Erase cycle continues unaffected.

6.1 Write Enable (WREN)
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction (Figure 9) sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set prior to every Page Program (PP), Dual Input
Fast Program (DIFP), Program OTP (POTP), Write to Lock Register (WRLR), Subsector
Erase (SSE), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE) and Write Status Register (WRSR)
instruction.
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, sending the
instruction code, and then driving Chip Select (S) High.

6.3 Read Identification (RDID)
The Read Identification (RDID) instruction allows to read the device identification data:
Manufacturer identification (1 byte)
Device identification (2 bytes)
A Unique ID code (UID) (17 bytes, of which 16 available upon customer request).
The manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC, and has the value 20h. The device
identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and indicates the memory type in the
first byte (71h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte (16h). The UID
contains the length of the following data in the first byte (set to 10h) and 16 bytes of the
optional Customized Factory Data (CFD) content. The CFD bytes are read-only and can be
programmed with customers data upon their demand. If the customers do not make
requests, the devices are shipped with all the CFD bytes programmed to zero (00h).
Any Read Identification (RDID) 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 Read Identification (RDID) instruction should not be issued while the device is in Deep
Power-down mode.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. Then, the 8-bit instruction code
for the instruction is shifted in. After this, the 24-bit device identification, stored in the
memory, the 8-bit CFD length followed by 16 bytes of CFD content will be shifted out on
Serial Data output (DQ1). Each bit is shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 11.
The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High at
any time during data output.
When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the Standby Power mode. Once in
the Standby Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and
execute instructions.

6.4 Read Status Register (RDSR)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction allows the Status Register to be read. 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, as shown in Figure 12.
The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows:
6.4.1 WIP bit
The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle. When set to 1, such a cycle is in progress, when reset to
0 no such cycle is in progress.
6.4.2 WEL bit
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch.
When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable
Latch is reset and no Write Status Register, Program or Erase instruction is accepted.
6.4.3 BP2, BP1, BP0 bits
The Block Protect (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 (WRSR) instruction. When one or more of the Block Protect (BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits is set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 3) becomes
protected against Page Program (PP) and Sector Erase (SE) instructions. The Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not
been set. The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is executed if, and only if, all Block Protect (BP2,
BP1, BP0) bits are 0.

6.4.4 TB bit
The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is non-volatile. It can be set and reset with the Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction provided that the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been issued.
The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is used in conjunction with the Block Protect (BP0, BP1, BP2) bits
to determine if the protected area defined by the Block Protect bits starts from the top or the
bottom of the memory array:
When TB is reset to ‘0’ (default value), the area protected by the Block Protect bits
starts from the top of the memory array (see Table 3: Protected area sizes)
When TB is set to ‘1’, the area protected by the Block Protect bits starts from the
bottom of the memory array (see Table 3: Protected area sizes)
The TB bit cannot be written when the SRWD bit is set to ‘1’ and the W pin is driven Low.
6.4.5 SRWD bit
The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write
Protect (W/VPP) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and the Write Protect
(W/VPP) signal allow the device to be put in the hardware protected mode (when the Status
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is set to ‘1’, and Write Protect (W/VPP) is driven Low). In
this mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0) become
read-only bits and the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for
execution.

6.5 Write Stat us Registe r (WRSR )
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows new values to be written to the Status
Register. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously
have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and
executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low,
followed by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data input (DQ0).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 13.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no effect on b6, b1 and b0 of the Status
Register. b6 is always read as ‘0’.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in.
If not, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select
(S) is driven High, the self-timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is
initiated. While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still
be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP)
bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed.
When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the
Block Protect (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 (WRSR) instruction also allows
the user to set and reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with
the Write Protect (W/VPP) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write
Protect (W/VPP) signal allow the device to be put in the hardware protected mode (HPM).
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed once the hardware protected
mode (HPM) is entered.

The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 8.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial
delivery state), it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction, regardless
of the whether Write Protect (W/VPP) is driven High or Low.
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two
cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write Protect (W/VPP):
If Write Protect (W/VPP) is driven High, it is possible to write to the Status Register
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write
Enable (WREN) instruction.
If Write Protect (W/VPP) is driven Low, it is not possible to write to the Status Register
even if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction. (Attempts to write to the Status Register are rejected, and are not
accepted for execution). As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that
are software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status
Register, are also hardware protected against data modification.
Regardless of the order of the two events, the Hardware Protected mode (HPM) can be
entered:
by setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect
(W/VPP) Low
or by driving Write Protect (W/VPP) Low after setting the Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit.
The only way to exit the Hardware Protected mode (HPM) once entered is to pull Write
Protect (W/VPP) High.
If Write Protect (W/VPP) is permanently tied High, the Hardware Protected mode (HPM) can
never be activated, and only the Software Protected mode (SPM), using the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, can be used.

6.6 Read Data Bytes (READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for 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 Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that
address, is shifted out on Serial Data output (DQ1), each bit being shifted out, at a
maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 14.
The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented
to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can,
therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction. When the highest
address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence
to be continued indefinitely.
The Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip
Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. 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.

6.7 Read Dat a Byte s at higher speed (FAST_READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the Read
Data Bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-
A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C).
Then the memory contents, at that address, are shifted out on Serial Data output (DQ1) at a
maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 15.
The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented
to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can,
therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction.
When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing
the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
The Read Data Bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction is terminated by driving
Chip Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any
Read Data Bytes at higher speed (FAST_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.

6.8 Dual Output Fast Read (DOFR)
The Dual Output Fast Read (DOFR) instruction is very similar to the Read Data Bytes at
higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction, except that the data are shifted out on two pins (pin
DQ0 and pin DQ1) instead of only one. Outputting the data on two pins instead of one
doubles the data transfer bandwidth compared to the Read Data Bytes at higher speed
(FAST_READ) instruction.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the Dual
Output Fast Read instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) and a dummy byte,
each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory
contents, at that address, are shifted out on DQ0 and DQ1 at a maximum frequency fC,
during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16.
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 on DQ0 and DQ1. The whole
memory can, therefore, be read with a single Dual Output Fast Read (DOFR) instruction.
When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 00 0000h, so that
the read sequence can be continued indefinitely.

6.9 Read Lock Register (RDLR)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the Read
Lock Register (RDLR) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) pointing to any
location inside the concerned sector. Each address bit is latched-in during the rising edge of
Serial Clock (C). Then the value of the Lock Register is shifted out on Serial Data output
(DQ1), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17.
The Read Lock Register (RDLR) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High at
any time during data output.
Any Read Lock Register (RDLR) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.10 Read OTP (ROTP)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the Read
OTP (ROTP) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23- A0) and a dummy byte. Each
bit is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C).
Then the memory contents at that address are shifted out on Serial Data output (DQ1).
Each bit is shifted out at the maximum frequency, fCmax, on the falling edge of Serial Clock
(C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 18.
The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data
is shifted out.
There is no rollover mechanism with the Read OTP (ROTP) instruction. This means that the
Read OTP (ROTP) instruction must be sent with a maximum of 65 bytes to read, since once
the 65th byte has been read, the same (65th) byte keeps being read on the DQ1 pin.
The Read OTP (ROTP) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip
Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any Read OTP (ROTP)
instruction issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without
having any effect on the cycle that is in progress.

6.11 Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be programmed in the memory
(changing bits from 1 to 0). Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction
must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been
decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Page Program (PP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by
the instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data input
(DQ0). 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). Chip
Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 19.
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.
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the Page Program (PP) instruction to
program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several Page
Program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Table 18: AC
characteristics).
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in, otherwise the Page Program (PP) instruction is not executed.
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose
duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register
may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress
(WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At
some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is
reset.
A Page Program (PP) instruction applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 3 and Table 4) is not executed.

6.12 Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP)
The Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction is very similar to the Page Program (PP)
instruction, except that the data are entered on two pins (pin DQ0 and pin DQ1) instead of
only one. Inputting the data on two pins instead of one doubles the data transfer bandwidth
compared to the Page Program (PP) instruction.
The Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low,
followed by the instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on Serial
Data input (DQ0).
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). Chip Select (S)
must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 20.
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 in the same page.
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP)
instruction to program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence rather to using
several Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) sequences each containing only a few bytes (see
Table 18: AC char acteri sti cs).
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in, otherwise the Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction is not executed.
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose
duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) 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 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch
(WEL) bit is reset.
A Dual Input Fast Program (DIFP) instruction applied to a page that is protected by the
Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 2 and Table 3) is not executed.

6.13 Program OTP instruction (POTP)
The Program OTP instruction (POTP) is used to program at most 64 bytes to the OTP
memory area (by changing bits from 1 to 0, only). Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN)
instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit.
The Program OTP instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the
instruction opcode, three address bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data input
(DQ0).
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been
latched in, otherwise the Program OTP instruction is not executed.
There is no rollover mechanism with the Program OTP (POTP) instruction. This means that
the Program OTP (POTP) instruction must be sent with a maximum of 65 bytes to program,
once all 65 bytes have been latched in, any following byte will be discarded.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 21.
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose
duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Program OTP 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 OTP cycle, and it is 0 when it is completed. At
some unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is
reset.
To lock the OTP memory:
Bit 0 of the OTP control byte, that is byte 64, (see Figure 22) is used to permanently lock the
OTP memory array.
When bit 0 of byte 64 = ’1’, the 64 bytes of the OTP memory array can be programmed.
When bit 0 of byte 64 = ‘0’, the 64 bytes of the OTP memory array are read-only and
cannot be programmed anymore.
Once a bit of the OTP memory has been programmed to ‘0’, it can no longer be set to ‘1’.
Therefore, as soon as bit 0 of byte 64 (control byte) is set to ‘0’, the 64 bytes of the OTP
memory array become read-only in a permanent way.
Any Program OTP (POTP) instruction issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress is rejected without having any effect on the cycle that is in progress.

6.14 Write to Lock Register (WRLR)
The Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instruction allows bits to be changed in the Lock
Registers. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously
have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the
device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low,
followed by the instruction code, three address bytes (pointing to any address in the
targeted sector and one data byte on Serial Data input (DQ0). The instruction sequence is
shown in Figure 23. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte
has been latched in, otherwise the Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instruction is not
executed.
Lock Register bits are volatile, and therefore do not require time to be written. When the
Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instruction has been successfully executed, the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset after a delay time less than tSHSL minimum value.
Any Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.15 Subs ector Erase (SSE)
The Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen subsector.
Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been
executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the
Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed
by the instruction code, and three address bytes on Serial Data input (DQ0). Any address
inside the Subsector (see Table 4) is a valid address for the Subsector Erase (SSE)
instruction. Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 24.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last address byte has been
latched in, otherwise the Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction is not executed. As soon as
Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Subsector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSSE)
is initiated. While the Subsector 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 Subsector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some
unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction issued to a sector that is hardware or software
protected, is not executed.
Any Subsector Erase (SSE) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.16 Sector Erase (SE)
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen sector. Before it
can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed.
After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write
Enable Latch (WEL).
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the
instruction code, and three address bytes on Serial Data input (DQ0). Any address inside
the Sector (see Table 4) is a valid address for the Sector Erase (SE) instruction. Chip Select
(S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 25.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last address byte has been
latched in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip
Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is
initiated. While the Sector Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to
check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1
during the self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified
time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect

6.17 Bulk Erase (BE)
The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction sets all bits to 1 (FFh). Before it can be accepted, a Write
Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable
(WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the
instruction code on Serial Data input (DQ0). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the
entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 26.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been
latched in, otherwise the Bulk Erase instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S)
is driven High, the self-timed Bulk Erase cycle (whose duration is tBE) is initiated. While the
Bulk 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 Bulk
Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is
completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is executed only if all Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits
are 0. The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is ignored if one, or more, sectors are protected.

6.18 Deep Power-down (DP)
Executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is the only way to put the device in the
lowest consumption mode (the Deep Power-down mode). It can also be used as a software
protection mechanism, while the device is not in active use, as in this mode, the device
ignores all Write, Program and Erase instructions.
Driving Chip Select (S) High deselects the device, and puts the device in the Standby Power
mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the Deep
Power-down mode. The Deep Power-down mode can only be entered by executing the
Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, subsequently reducing the standby current (from ICC1 to
ICC2, as specified in Table 17).
To take the device out of Deep Power-down mode, the Release from Deep Power-down
(RDP) instruction must be issued. No other instruction must be issued while the device is in
Deep Power-down mode.
The Deep Power-down mode automatically stops at power-down, and the device always
powers up in the Standby Power mode.
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed
by the instruction code on Serial Data input (DQ0). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for
the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 27.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been
latched in, otherwise the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is not executed. As soon as
Chip Select (S) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced
to ICC2 and the Deep Power-down mode is entered.
Any Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.19 Release from Deep Power-down (RDP)
Once the device has entered the Deep Power-down mode, all instructions are ignored
except the Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction. Executing this instruction
takes the device out of the Deep Power-down mode.
The Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S)
Low, followed by the instruction code on Serial Data input (DQ0). Chip Select (S) must be
driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 28.
The Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select
(S) High. Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock (C), while Chip Select (S) is driven
Low, cause the instruction to be rejected, and not executed.
After Chip Select (S) has been driven High, followed by a delay, tRDP
, the device is put in the
Standby mode. Chip Select (S) must remain High at least until this period is over. The
device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions.
Any Release from Deep Power-down (RDP) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write
cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

7 Power-up and power-down
At power-up and power-down, the device must not be selected (that is Chip Select (S) must
follow the voltage applied on VCC) until VCC reaches the correct value:
VCC(min) at power-up, and then for a further delay of tVSL
VSS at power-down
A safe configuration is provided in Sec tio n 3: SPI modes.
To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write operations during power-up, a Power On
Reset (POR) circuit is included. The logic inside the device is held reset while VCC is less
than the Power On Reset (POR) threshold voltage, VWI – all operations are disabled, and
the device does not respond to any instruction.
Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable (WREN), Page Program (PP), Dual Input Fast
Program (DIFP), Program OTP (POTP), Subsector Erase (SSE), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk
Erase (BE), Write Status Register (WRSR) and Write to Lock Register (WRLR) instructions
until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the VWI
threshold. However, the correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if, by this time,
VCC is still below VCC(min). No Write Status Register, Program or Erase instructions should
be sent until the later of:
tPUW after VCC has passed the VWI threshold
tVSL after VCC has passed the VCC(min) level.
These values are specified in Table 11.
If the time, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC rises above VCC(min), the device can be selected
for READ instructions even if the tPUW delay has not yet fully elapsed.
After power-up, the device is in the following state:
The device is in the Standby Power mode (not the Deep Power-down mode).
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is reset.
The Lock Registers are configured as: (Write Lock bit, Lock Down bit) = (0,0)
Normal precautions must be taken for supply line decoupling, to stabilize the VCC supply.
Each device in a system should have the VCC line decoupled by a suitable capacitor close
to the package pins (generally, this capacitor is of the order of 100 nF).
At power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to below the Power On Reset
(POR) threshold voltage, VWI, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond
to any instruction. (The designer needs to be aware that if power-down occurs while a Write,
Program or Erase cycle is in progress, some data corruption may result.)
VPPH must be applied only when VCC is stable and in the VCCmin to VCCmax voltage
range.

1. Typical values given for TA = 25° C.
2. tCH + tCL must be greater than or equal to 1/ fC.
3. Value guaranteed by characterization, not 100% tested in production.
4. Expressed as a slew-rate.
5. Only applicable as a constraint for a WRSR instruction when SRWD is set at ‘1’.
6. VPPH should be kept at a valid level until the program or erase operation has completed and its result
(success or failure) is known. Avoid applying VPPH to the W/VPP pin during Bulk Erase.
7. When using the Page Program (PP) instruction to program consecutive bytes, optimized timings are
obtained with one sequence including all the bytes versus several sequences of only a few bytes (1 n
256).
8. int(A) corresponds to the upper integer part of A. For example, int(12/8) = 2, int(32/8) = 4 int(15.3) =16.
