Description  
M25PE16

Description  
The M25PE16 is a 16-Mbit (2 Mbits × 8) serial paged flash memory accessed by a high  
speed SPI-compatible bus.  
The memory can be written or programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time, using the page write or  
page program instruction. The page write instruction consists of an integrated page erase  
cycle followed by a page program cycle.  
The memory is organized as 32 sectors that are further divided up into 16 subsectors each  
(512 subsectors in total). Each sector contains 256 pages and each subsector contains 16  
pages. Each page is 256-byte wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting  
of 8192 pages, or 2,097,152 bytes.  
The memory can be erased a page at a time, using the page erase instruction, a subsector  
at a time, using the subsector erase instruction, a sector at a time, using the sector erase  
instruction, or as a whole, using the bulk erase instruction.  
The memory can be write protected by either hardware or software using mixed volatile and  
non-volatile protection features, depending on the application needs. The protection  
granularity is of 64 Kbytes (sector granularity).

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).  
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).  
Chip select (S)  
When this input signal is High, the device is deselected and serial data output (Q) is at high  
impedance. Unless an internal read, program, erase or write cycle is in progress, the device  
will be in the standby mode (this is not the deep power-down mode). Driving Chip Select (S)  
Low selects 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  
Reset (Reset)  
The Reset (Reset) input provides a hardware reset for the memory.  
When Reset (Reset) is driven High, the memory is in the normal operating mode. When  
Reset (Reset) is driven Low, the memory will enter the reset mode. In this mode, the output  
is high impedance.  
Driving Reset (Reset) Low while an internal operation is in progress will affect this operation  
(write, program or erase cycle) and data may be lost.  
See Table 12 for the status of the device after a Reset Low pulse.  
2.6  
Write protect (W)  
The write protect (W) input is used to freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected  
against write, program and erase instructions (as specified by the values in the BP2, BP1  
and BP0 bits of the status register). See Section 6.4: Read status register (RDSR).

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 4, 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)

1. The Write Protect (W) and Reset (Reset) signals should be driven, High or Low as appropriate.  
Figure 3 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 (Q) line at a  
time, the other devices are high impedance. Resistors R (represented in Figure 3) ensure  
that the M25PE16 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 t  
requirement is met). The  
SHCH  
typical value of R is 100 k, assuming that the time constant R*C (C = parasitic  
p
p
capacitance of the bus line) is shorter than the time during which the bus master leaves the  
SPI bus in high impedance.

Operating features  
4.1  
Sharing the overhead of modifying data  
To write or program one (or more) data bytes, two instructions are required: write enable  
(WREN), which is one byte, and a page write (PW) or page program (PP) sequence, which  
consists of four bytes plus data. This is followed by the internal cycle (of duration t  
or t ).  
PW  
PP  
To share this overhead, the page write (PW) or page program (PP) instruction allows up to  
256 bytes to be programmed (changing bits from ‘1’ to ‘0’) or written (changing bits to ‘0’ or  
‘1’) at a time, provided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the same page of memory.  
4.2  
An easy way to modify data  
The page write (PW) instruction provides a convenient way of modifying data (up to 256  
contiguous bytes at a time), and simply requires the start address, and the new data in the  
instruction sequence.  
The page write (PW) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, and then  
transmitting the instruction byte, three address bytes (A23-A0) and at least one data byte,  
and then driving Chip Select (S) High. While Chip Select (S) is being held Low, the data  
bytes are written to the data buffer, starting at the address given in the third address byte  
(A7-A0). When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the write cycle starts. The remaining,  
unchanged, bytes of the data buffer are automatically loaded with the values of the  
corresponding bytes of the addressed memory page. The addressed memory page then  
automatically put into an erase cycle. Finally, the addressed memory page is programmed  
with the contents of the data buffer.  
All of this buffer management is handled internally, and is transparent to the user. The user  
is given the facility of being able to alter the contents of the memory on a byte-by-byte basis.  
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page write (PW) instruction to write all  
consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page write (PW)  
sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Section 6.9: Page write (PW),  
Table 18: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation), and Table 19: AC characteristics (75 MHz  
operation)).  
12/58  
M25PE16  
Operating features  
4.3  
A fast way to modify data  
The page program (PP) instruction provides a fast way of modifying data (up to 256  
contiguous bytes at a time), provided that it only involves resetting bits to ‘0’ that had  
previously been set to ‘1’.  
This might be:  
when the designer is programming the device for the first time  
when the designer knows that the page has already been erased by an earlier page  
erase (PE), subsector erase (SSE), sector erase (SE) or bulk erase (BE) instruction.  
This is useful, for example, when storing a fast stream of data, having first performed  
the erase cycle when time was available  
when the designer knows that the only changes involve resetting bits to 0 that are still  
set to ‘1’. When this method is possible, it has the additional advantage of minimizing  
the number of unnecessary erase operations, and the extra stress incurred by each  
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 Section 6.10: Page  
program (PP), Table 18: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation), and Table 19: AC  
characteristics (75 MHz operation)).  
4.4  
Polling during a write, program or erase cycle  
A further improvement in the time to write (PW, WRSR), program (PP) or erase (SE, SSE or  
BE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst case delay (t , t , t , t , t , t  
or  
W
PW PP PE SE SSE  
t
). The write in progress (WIP) bit is provided in the status register so that the application  
BE  
program can monitor its value, polling it to establish when the previous cycle is complete.  
4.5  
4.6  
Reset  
An internal power-on reset circuit helps protect against inadvertent data writes. Addition  
protection is provided by driving Reset (Reset) Low during the power-on process, and only  
driving it High when V has reached the correct voltage level, V (min).  
CC  
CC  
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). The device then goes  
in to the standby power mode. The device consumption drops to I  
.
CC1  
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 I . When in this  
CC2  
mode, only the release from deep power-down instruction is accepted. All other instructions  
are ignored. The device remains in the deep power-down mode until the release from deep  
power-down instruction is executed. 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.

Status register  
The status register contains a number of status and control bits that can be read or set (as  
appropriate) by using specific instructions. See Section 6.4: Read status register (RDSR) for  
a detailed description of the status register bits.  
4.8  
Protection modes  
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 and to  
meet the needs of modularized applications, the M25PE16 features the following flexible  
data protection mechanisms:  
4.8.1  
Protocol-related protections  
Power on reset and an internal timer (t  
changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification.  
) can provide protection against inadvertent  
PUW  
Program, erase and write 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  
Reset (Reset) driven Low  
Write disable (WRDI) instruction completion  
Page write (PW) instruction completion  
Write status register (WRSR) instruction completion  
Page program (PP) instruction completion  
Write to lock register (WRLR) instruction completion  
Page erase (PE) instruction completion  
Subsector erase (SSE) instruction completion  
Sector erase (SE) instruction completion  
Bulk erase (BE) instruction completion  
The Reset (Reset) signal can be driven Low to freeze and reset the internal logic. For  
the specific cases of program and write cycles, the designer should refer to Section 6.5:  
Write status register (WRSR), Section 6.9: Page write (PW), Section 6.10: Page  
program (PP), Section 6.12: Page erase (PE), Section 6.13: Sector erase (SE) and  
Section 6.14: Subsector erase (SSE), and to Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low  
pulse.  
In addition to the low power consumption feature, the deep power-down mode offers  
extra software protection from inadvertent write, program and erase instructions while  
the device is not in active use.

4.8.2  
Specific hardware and software protections  
There are two software protected modes, SPM1 and SPM2, that can be combined to protect  
the memory array as required. The SPM2 can be hardware protected 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 to ‘1’, further  
modification to the write lock and lock down bits cannot be performed. A reset, or  
power-up, is required before changes to these bits can be made. When the lock  
down bit is reset to ‘0’, the write lock and lock down bits can be changed.  
The write lock bit and the lock down bit are volatile and their value is reset to ‘0’ after a  
power-down or a reset (see Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse).  
The definition of the lock register bits is given in Table 9: Lock register out.

Instructions  
All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, most significant bit  
first.  
Serial data input (D) is 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 (D), 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), read  
identification (RDID), read status register (RDSR), or read lock register (RDLR) 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 write (PW), page program (PP), write to lock register (WRLR), page  
erase (PE), sector erase (SE), subsector erase (SSE), bulk erase (BE), write status register  
(WRSR), write enable (WREN), write disable (WRDI), deep power-down (DP) or release  
from deep power-down (RDP) 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 cycle, program cycle or erase cycle  
are ignored, and the internal write cycle, program cycle or erase cycle continues unaffected.

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 for Numonyx.  
The device identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and indicates the memory  
type in the first byte (80h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte (15h).  
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 device is 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 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 (Q). Each bit is shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).  
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8.  
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.

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 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 9.  
The status bits of the status register are as follows:  
6.4.1  
6.4.2  
6.4.3  
WIP bit  
The write in progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a write, program  
or erase cycle. When set to ‘1’, such a cycle is in progress, when reset to ‘0’ no such cycle is  
in progress.  
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, program or erase instruction is accepted.  
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), sector erase (SE) and subsector erase (SSE)  
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  
the lock register protection bits are not all set (‘1’)  
6.4.4  
SRWD bit  
The status register write disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write  
Protect (W) signal. When the status register write disable (SRWD) bit is set to ‘1’, and Write  
Protect (W) is driven Low, the non-volatile bits of the status register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0)  
become read-only bits. In such a state, as the write status register (WRSR) instruction is no  
longer accepted for execution, the definition of the size of the write protected area cannot be  
further modified.

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 10.  
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 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 t ) is initiated.  
W
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 or reset the status register write disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the Write  
Protect (W) signal (see Section 6.4.4).  
If a write status register (WRSR) instruction is interrupted by a Reset Low pulse, the internal  
cycle of the write status register operation (whose duration is t ) is first completed (provided  
W
that the supply voltage V remains within the operating range). After that the device enters  
CC  
the reset mode (see also Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse and Table 21:  
Timings after a Reset Low pulse).

1. As defined by the values in the block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the status register, as shown in  
Table 3.  
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) 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):  
If Write Protect (W) 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) 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 (SPM2) 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)  
Low  
or by driving Write Protect (W) 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) High.  
If Write Protect (W) is permanently tied High, the hardware protected mode (HPM) can  
never be activated, and only the software protected mode (SPM2), using the block protect  
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the status register, can be used.

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 (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum  
frequency f , during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).  
R
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 11.  
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.

Read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ)  
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the read

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 f , during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).

The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 12.

Page write (PW)  
The page write (PW) instruction allows bytes to be written in the memory. 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 write (PW) 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 (D). The  
rest of the page remains unchanged if no power failure occurs during this write cycle.  
The page write (PW) instruction performs a page erase cycle even if only one byte is  
updated.  
If the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data exceeding  
the addressed page boundary roll over, and are written from the start address of the same  
page (the one whose 8 least significant address 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 14.  
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 written correctly within the same page. If less than  
256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly written 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 write (PW) instruction to write all  
consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page write (PW)  
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 write (PW) instruction is not executed.  
As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed page write cycle (whose duration is  
t
) is initiated. While the page write cycle is in progress, the status register may be read to  
PW  
check the value of the write in progress (WIP) bit. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during  
the self-timed page write 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 page write (PW) instruction applied to a page that is hardware or software protected is not  
executed.  
Any page write (PW) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is  
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.  
If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a page write (PW) cycle is in progress, the page write  
cycle is interrupted and the programmed data may be corrupted (see Table 12: Device  
status after a Reset Low pulse). On Reset going Low, the device enters the reset mode and  
a time of t  
is then required before the device can be re-selected by driving Chip Select  
RHSL  
(S) Low. For the value of t  
see Table 21: Timings after a Reset Low pulse in Section 11:

Page program (PP)  
The page program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (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).  
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 (D). If  
the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data exceeding  
the addressed page boundary roll over, and are programmed from the start address of the  
same page (the one whose 8 least significant address 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 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 (50 MHz operation) and Table 19: AC characteristics (75 MHz operation)).  
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 t ) is initiated. While the page program cycle is in progress, the status register

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 (D). The instruction sequence is shown in  
Figure 16. 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 t  
minimum value.  
SHSL  
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.

Page erase (PE)  
The page erase (PE) instruction sets to ‘1’ (FFh) all bits inside the chosen page. 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 erase (PE) 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  
page is a valid address for the page erase (PE) instruction. 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 last address byte has been  
latched in, otherwise the page erase (PE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip  
Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed page erase cycle (whose duration is t ) is initiated.  
PE  
While the page 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  
page 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 page erase (PE) instruction applied to a page that is hardware or software protected is not  
executed.  
Any page erase (PE) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is  
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.  
If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a page erase (PE) cycle is in progress, the page erase

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 (D). 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 18.  
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 t ) is  
SE  
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 complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset.  
A sector erase (SE) instruction applied to a sector that contains a page that is hardware or  
software protected is not executed.  
Any sector erase (SE) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is  
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.  
If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a sector erase (SE) cycle is in progress, the sector  
erase cycle is interrupted and data may not be erased (see Table 12: Device status after a

Subsector 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 (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 subsector (see Table 4) is a valid address for the subsector erase (SE) instruction. 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 last address byte has been  
latched in, otherwise the subsector erase (SE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip  
Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed subsector erase cycle (whose duration is t  
) is  
SSE  
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 applied to a subsector that contains a page 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.  
If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a subsector erase (SSE) cycle is in progress, the  
subsector erase cycle is interrupted and data may not be erased correctly (see Table 12:  
Device status after a Reset Low pulse). On Reset going Low, the device enters the reset

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 20.  
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 t ) is initiated. While the  
BE  
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.  
Any bulk erase (BE) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is  
rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. A bulk erase (BE)  
instruction is ignored if at least one sector or subsector is write-protected (hardware or  
software protection).  
If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a bulk erase (BE) cycle is in progress, the bulk erase  
cycle is interrupted and data may not be erased correctly (see Table 12: Device status after  
a Reset Low pulse). On Reset going Low, the device enters the reset mode and a time of

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 an extra  
software protection mechanism, while the device is not in active use, since 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 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 I  
to I  
, as specified  
CC1  
CC2  
in Table 17).  
Once the device has entered the deep power-down mode, all instructions are ignored  
except the release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction. Issuing the release from deep  
power-down (RDP) instruction will cause the device to exit the deep power-down mode.  
The deep power-down mode automatically stops at power-down, and the device always  
powers-up in the standby mode.  
The deep power-down (DP) 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 21.  
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 t before the supply current is reduced  
DP  
to I  
and the deep power-down mode is entered.  
CC2  
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.

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 (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven  
Low for the entire duration of the sequence.  
The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 22.  
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, t  
, the device is put in the  
RDP  
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.

VSL  
A safe configuration is provided in Section 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 V is less than the  
CC  
power on reset (POR) threshold voltage, V – all operations are disabled, and the device  
WI  
does not respond to any instruction.  
Moreover, the device ignores all write enable (WREN), page write (PW), page program (PP),  
page erase (PE), sector erase (SE), subsector erase (SSE), bulk erase (BE), write status  
register (WRSR) and write to lock register (WRLR) instructions until a time delay of t  
PUW  
has elapsed after the moment that V rises above the V threshold. However, the correct  
CC  
WI  
operation of the device is not guaranteed if, by this time, V is still below V (min). No  
CC

write, program or erase instructions should be sent until the later of:

selected for read instructions even if the t  
delay is not yet fully elapsed.  
PUW  
As an extra protection, the Reset (Reset) signal could be driven Low for the whole duration  
of the power-up and power-down phases.  
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  
The lock registers are reset (write lock bit, lock down bit) = (0, 0)  
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to stabilize the V supply.  
CC  
Each device in a system should have the V line decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to  
CC  
the package pins (generally, this capacitor is of the order of 100 nF).  
At power-down, when V drops from the operating voltage, to below the power on reset  
CC  
(POR) threshold voltage, V , all operations are disabled and the device does not respond  
WI  
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.
