Description M25P32
6/54
1 Description
The M25P32 is a 32 Mbit (4M x 8) Serial Flash memory, with advanced write protec tion
mechanisms, accessed by a high speed SPI-compatible bus.
The memory can be programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time, using the Page Program
instruction.
An enhanced Fast Program/Erase mode is available to speed up operations in factory
environment. The device e nters this mode whenever the VPPH voltage is app lied to the Write
Protect/Enhanced Program Supply Voltage pin (W/VPP).
The memory is organized as 64 sectors, each containing 256 pages. Each page is 256
bytes wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 16384 pages, or
4,194,304 bytes.
The whole memory can be erased using the Bulk Erase instruction, or a sector at a time,
using the Sector Erase instruction.
In order to meet environment al requireme nts, Num onyx offers the M25 P32 in Lead-free and
RoHS compliant packages.

2 Signal description
2.1 Serial data output (Q)
This output signal is u sed to transfer dat a serially out of the device . Data is shif ted out on the
falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.2 Serial data input (D)
This input signal is used to transfer data serially into th e device. It receives instructions,
addresses, and the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of Seri al
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 (D) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data on
Serial Data Output (Q) 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 (Q) is at high
impedance. Unless an intern al 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 p ause any serial commun ications with the de vice without
deselecting the device.
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data
Input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
To st art the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low.
Signal description M25P32

2.6 Write Protect/Enhanced Program supply voltage (W/VPP)
W/VPP is both a control input and a power supply pi n. The two func tions 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 instru ctions (as specified by the values in the BP2, BP1 and BP0
bits of the Status Register).
If VPP is in the range of VPPH it acts as an additional power supply pin. In this case VPP must
be stable until the Program/Erase algorithm is completed.
2.7 VCC supply voltage
VCC is the supply voltage.
2.8 VSS ground
VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage.
M25P32 SPI modes
11/54
3 SPI modes
These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral runn ing 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 dif ference b etween the two modes, as shown in Figure 5, is the clock polarity when the
bus master is in Stand-by mode and not transferring data:
C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)
C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)
Figure 4. 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 4 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 de vice drives the Serial Data Output (Q) line at
a time, the other devices are high impedance. Re sistors R (represented in Figure 4) ensure
that the M25P32 is not selected if the Bus Master leaves the S line in the high impedance
state. As the Bus Ma ster may enter a state wher e all inputs/output s 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
capacit a nce of the bu s line) is sho rter than th e tim e during which th e 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)).
4.2 Sector Erase and Bulk Erase
The Page Program (PP) instru ction 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 sector at a tim e, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, or throughout the
entire memory, using the Bulk Eras e (BE) instruc tio n. T his starts an internal Erase cycle (of
duration tSE or tBE).
The Erase inst ru ctio n mus t be preceded by a Write Enable (WR EN) ins tru ction.
4.3 Polling during a Write, Program or Erase cycle
A further improvemen t in the time to Write S tatus Registe r ( WRSR) , Prog ram (PP) or Era se
(SE or BE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst case d elay (tW, tPP, tSE, or tBE). The
Write In Progress (WIP) bit is provided in the Status Regi ster so that the application program
can monitor its value, polling it to est ablish when the previous Write cycle, Program cycle or
Erase cycle is complete.
4.4 Fast Program/Erase mode
The Fast Program/Erase mode is used to speed up programming/erasing. The device
enters the Fast Pr ogram/Erase mode du ring the Page Progr am, Sector Erase o r Bulk Erase
instruction whenever a voltage equal to VPPH is applied to the W/VPP pin.
The use of the Fast Program/Erase mode req uires specific operating conditions in addition
to the normal ones (VCC must be within the normal operating rang e):
the voltage ap plied to the W/VPP pin must be equal to VPPH (see Table 10)
ambient temperature, TA must be 25 °C ±10 °C,
the cumulated time during which W/VPP is at VPPH should be less than 80 hours
Operating features M25P32

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 and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction) is executed.
While in the Deep Power-down mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase
instructions (see Deep Power-down (DP)) Th is can be used as an e xtra 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 statu s and contr ol bits that can be read or set (as
appropriate) by specific instructions. See Section 6.4: Read Status Register (RDSR) for a
detailed description of the Status Register bits.

4.7 Protection modes
The environme nts where non -vo la tile memo ry de vice s ar e us ed can be very noisy. No SPI
device can operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the
M25P32 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 S t atus 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 b it is retur ned to its reset state
by the following events:
–Power-up
Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion
Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion
Page Progra m (PP) instr uc tio n co mple tion
Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion
Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion
The Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits allow part of the memory to be configured as
read-only. This is the Software Protected Mode (SPM).
The Write Protect (W/VPP) signal allows the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits and
Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit to be protected. This is the Har dwa r e
Protected Mode (HPM).
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.

4.8 Hold condition
The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to p ause any serial communica tions 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 6).
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. (Thi s is show n in Figure 6).
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data
Input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
Normally, the device is kept selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low, for the whole du ration
of the Hold condition. This is to ensure that the st ate of the internal logic remains unch anged
from the moment of entering the Hold condition.
If Chip Select (S) goes High while the device is in the Hold con dition, 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 an d out of the device, most significant bit
first.
Serial Data In put (D) is sampled on the fir st rising ed ge of Seria l Clock (C) after Chip Select
(S) is driven Low. Then, the one- byte instr uction co de must be shif ted i n to the de vice, most
significant bit first, on Serial Data Input (D), each bit being latched on the rising edges of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruction set is listed in Table 4.
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),
Read Status Register (RDSR), Read Identification (RDID) or Release from Deep Power-
down, and Read Electronic Signature (RES) 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), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE), Write Status
Register (WRSR), 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 pu lse s 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.

The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set prior to every Page Program (PP), Sector
Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE) and Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction.
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction i s 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 the device identification data to be read as
explained here, with the data values shown in Table 5.: Read Identification (RDID) data-out
sequence.
Manufacturer identification (1 byte): Numonyx value assigned by JEDEC.
Device identification (2 bytes): assigned by the device manufacturer.
The first byte indicates the memory type.
The second byte indicates the memory capacity of the device.
Unique ID code (UID) (17 bytes): ava ilable upon customer request.(a)
The first byte contains the length of the data that is contained in the UID.
The remaining 16 bytes are available upon customer request and contain the
optional Customized Factory Data (CFD) content. The CFD bytes are re ad-only
and can be programmed with customer data upon customer demand. If a
customer does not make a request, the device is shipped with all CFD bytes
programmed to zero (00h).
Any Read Identification (RDID) instruction performed while an Erase or Program cycle is in
progress is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low . Then, the 1- byte instruction code
for the instruction is shifted in.
After this the 20-bytes stored in memory are shifted out on Serial Data output (Q), including
the 3-bytes of manufacturer and device identification information, the 1-byte CFD length,
and the 16 bytes of CFD content. Each bit of these 20-bytes is shifted out during the falling
edge of Serial Clock (C). The instr uction sequen ce is shown in Figu re 8: Read Identification
(RDID) instruction sequence and data-out sequence.
The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High at
any time during data output. Wh en Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the
Stand-by Power mode . Once in the Stand-by 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 th e Status Register continuo u sly, as shown in Figure 11.
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 St atus 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 de fine th e size of the ar ea 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 Blo ck Protect (BP2,

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 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 Write Protect
(W/VPP) signal allo w the d evice to be put in the Hard ware Pro tected mode (w hen the Statu s
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.
Figure 11. Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction sequence and data-out
sequence
6.5 Write Status Register (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 (D).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 12.
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b1 and b0 of the
Status Register. b6 and b5 are always read as 0.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bi t of the dat a byte has been latched in.
If not, the Write S tatus 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 Progre ss (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 2. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows
the user to set or reset the S t atus 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 Wr ite Status Registe r (WRSR) instruction is not executed once th e Hardware Protected
Mode (HPM) is entered.

Latch (WEL) bit has previo usly 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 conse quence, all the data bytes in the mem ory a rea th at
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:

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 perma nently tied High, the Hardware Pr otected Mode (H PM) can
never be activat ed , an d on ly 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 instru ction code for the Read
Data Bytes (READ) instruction is followed b y 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 (Q), 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 13.
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 dat a outp ut. Any Read Dat a Bytes (READ)
instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejecte d without havi ng
any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

6.7 Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low . The instru ction code for the Read
Data Bytes at Higher S peed (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, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), 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 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 wi th 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 d uring dat a 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 Page Program (PP)
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be programmed in the memory
(changing bits from 1 to 0). Befo re it can be acce p ted , a Write Enable (WREN) instruct ion
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, th ree address bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data Input (D) .
If the 8 least significant ad dr ess bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all tran sm itt ed data that goes
beyond the end of the current page are programmed from the start address of the same
page (from the ad dress 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 15.
If more than 25 6 bytes are sent to the device, previo usly latched dat a are d iscarded and the
last 256 dat a 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.
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 Progr am cycle is in progress, the S tatus Register
may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. Th e Write In Progre ss
(WIP) bit is 1 during the self -t im e d Pa ge Prog ra m 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 wh ich is protected by the Block Protect

6.9 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) instru ction 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 (D). Any address inside the
Sector (see Table 3) 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 16.
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 Progr ess (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 W rite Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 2 and Table 3) is not executed.

6.10 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 (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire
duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been
latched in, otherwise the Bulk Erase instructio n 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 (W EL) bit is res et .
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.

6.11 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 sof tware
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 put s the device in the S tandby 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 re ducing the standby current (from ICC1 to
ICC2, as specified in Table 14).
To take the device ou t of Deep Power-down m ode, the Release from Deep Power-down and
Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction must be issued. No other instruction must be
issued while the device is in Deep Power-down mode.
The Release from Deep Power- down and Read Electr on ic Sig nature (RES) in structio n a lso
allows the Electronic Signature of the device to be output on Serial Data Output (Q).
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 Inpu t (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the
entire duration of the sequence.
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 18.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been
latched in, otherwise th e Deep Power-down (DP) instr uction is not executed. As soon as
Chip Select (S) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP before the supp ly curren t 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.

6.12 Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic
Signature (RES)
To take the device ou t of Deep Power-down m ode, the Release from Deep Power-down and
Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction must be issued. No other instruction must be
issued while the device is in Deep Power-down mode.
The instruction can also be used to read, on Serial Data Output (Q), the old-style 8-bit
Electronic Signature, whose value for the M25P32 is 15h.
Please note that this is not the same as, or even a subset of, the JEDEC 16-bit Electronic
Signature that is read by the Read Identifier (RDID) instruction. The old-style Electronic
Signature is supported for reasons of backward compatibility, only, and should not be used
for new designs. New designs should, instead, make use of the JEDEC 16-bit Electronic
Signature, and the Read Identifier ( RDID) instruction.
Except while an Erase, Program or Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Release
from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction always provides
access to the old-style 8-bit Electronic Signature of the device, and can be applied even if
the Deep Power-down mode has not been entered.
Any Release from Deep Power-down and Re ad Electronic Signature (RES) instruction while
an Erase, Program or Wr ite Status Register cycle is in progress, is not decoded , and has no
effect on the cycle that is in progress.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code is followed
by 3 dummy bytes, each bit being latched-in on Serial Data Input (D) during the rising edge
of Serial Clock (C). Then, the old-style 8-bit Electronic Signature, stored in the memory, is
shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 19.
The Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction is
terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High after the Electronic Signature has been read at
least once. Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock (C), while Chip Select (S) is
driven Low, cause the Electronic Signature to be output repeatedly.
When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the Standby Power mode. If the
device was not previously in the Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the S tandby
Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in the Deep Power-down mode,
though, the transition to the Standby Power mode is delayed by tRES2, and Chip Select (S)
must remain High for at least tRES2(max), as specified in Table 14. Once in the Standby
Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode an d execute
instructions.

Driving Chip Select (S) High after the 8-bit instruction byte has been received by the device, but before
the whole of the 8-bit Electronic Signature h as been transmitted for the first time (as shown in Figure 20),
still ensures that the device is put into Standby Power mode. If the device was not previously in the Deep
Power-down mode, the transition to the Standby Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously
in the Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Standby Power mode is delayed by tRES1,
and Chip Select (S) must remain High for at least tRES1(max), as specified in Table 14. Once in the
Standby Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute
instructions.

7 Power-up and Power-down
At Power-up and Power-do wn, the device must not be selecte d (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 Section 3: SPI modes.
To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write op erations 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 Pro gram (PP), Sector Erase
(SE), Bulk Erase (BE) and W rite Status Register (WRSR) instructions until a time delay of
tPUW has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above th e VWI threshold. However, the
correct operation of the de vice is not guaran teed 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 passed the VWI threshold
tVSL after VCC passed the VCC(min) level
These values are sp ec ified in Table 8.
If the delay, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC has risen above VCC(min), the device can be
selected for READ instructions even if the tPUW delay is not yet fully elapsed.
At Power-up, the device is in the following state:
The device is in the Standby mode (not the Deep Power-down mode).
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is reset.
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to stabilize the VCC feed. Each
device in a system should have the VCC rail 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 value, VWI, all operations are disabled an d th e device does not respond to
any instruction. (The designer needs to be aware that if a Power-down occurs while a Write,
Program or Erase cycle is in progress, some data corruption can result.)

Information, Standard Parts.
2. Typical values given for TA = 25 °C.
3. tCH + tCL must be greater than or equal to 1/ fC
4. Value guaranteed by characterization, not 100% tested in production.
5. Expressed as a slew-rate.
6. Only applicable as a constraint for a WRSR instruction when SRWD is set at 1.
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. E.g. int(12/8) = 2, int(32/8) = 4 int(15.3) =16.
