S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
1. Overview  
1.1  
General Description  
The Cypress S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices are flash non-volatile memory products using:  
MirrorBit technology - that stores two data bits in each memory array transistor  
Eclipse architecture - that dramatically improves program and erase performance  
65 nm process lithography  
This family of devices connect to a host system via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). Traditional SPI single bit serial input and  
output (Single I/O or SIO) is supported as well as optional two bit (Dual I/O or DIO) and four bit (Quad I/O or QIO) serial commands.  
This multiple width interface is called SPI Multi-I/O or MIO. In addition, the FL-S family adds support for Double Data Rate (DDR)  
read commands for SIO, DIO, and QIO that transfer address and read data on both edges of the clock.  
The Eclipse architecture features a Page Programming Buffer that allows up to 128 words (256 bytes) or 256 words (512 bytes) to  
be programmed in one operation, resulting in faster effective programming and erase than prior generation SPI program or erase  
algorithms.  
Executing code directly from flash memory is often called Execute-In-Place or XIP. By using FL-S devices at the higher clock rates  
supported, with QIO or DDR-QIO commands, the instruction read transfer rate can match or exceed traditional parallel interface,  
asynchronous, NOR flash memories while reducing signal count dramatically.  
The S25FL128S and S25FL256S products offer high densities coupled with the flexibility and fast performance required by a variety  
of embedded applications. They are ideal for code shadowing, XIP, and data storage.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
1.2.2 Known Differences from Prior Generations  
1.2.2.1 Error Reporting  
Prior generation FL memories either do not have error status bits or do not set them if program or erase is attempted on a protected  
sector. The FL-S family does have error reporting status bits for program and erase operations. These can be set when there is an  
internal failure to program or erase or when there is an attempt to program or erase a protected sector. In either case the program or  
erase operation did not complete as requested by the command.  
1.2.2.2 Secure Silicon Region (OTP)  
The size and format (address map) of the One Time Program area is different from prior generations. The method for protecting  
each portion of the OTP area is different. For additional details see Section 8.1 Secure Silicon Region (OTP) on page 58.  
1.2.2.3 Configuration Register Freeze Bit  
The configuration register Freeze bit CR1[0], locks the state of the Block Protection bits as in prior generations. In the FL-S family it  
also locks the state of the configuration register TBPARM bit CR1[2], TBPROT bit CR1[5], and the Secure Silicon Region (OTP)  
area.  
1.2.2.4 Sector Erase Commands  
The command for erasing an 8-kbyte area (two 4-kbyte sectors) is not supported.  
The command for erasing a 4-kbyte sector is supported only in the 128-Mbit and 256-Mbit density FL-S devices and only for use on  
the thirty two 4-kbyte parameter sectors at the top or bottom of the device address space.  
The erase command for 64-kbyte sectors are supported for the 128-Mbit and 256-Mbit density FL-S devices when the ordering  
option for 4-kbyte parameter sectors with 64-kbyte uniform sectors are used. The 64-kbyte erase command may be applied to erase  
a group of sixteen 4-kbyte sectors.  
The erase command for a 256-kbyte sector replaces the 64-kbyte erase command when the ordering option for 256-kbyte uniform  
sectors is used for the 128-Mbit and 256-Mbit density FL-S devices.  
1.2.2.5 Deep Power Down  
The Deep Power Down (DPD) function is not supported in FL-S family devices.  
The legacy DPD (B9h) command code is instead used to enable legacy SPI memory controllers, that can issue the former DPD  
command, to access a new bank address register. The bank address register allows SPI memory controllers that do not support  
more than 24 bits of address, the ability to provide higher order address bits for commands, as needed to access the larger address  
space of the 256-Mbit density FL-S device. For additional information see Section 7.1.1 Extended Address on page 44.  
1.2.2.6 New Features  
The FL-S family introduces several new features to SPI category memories:  
Extended address for access to higher memory density.  
AutoBoot for simpler access to boot code following power up.  
Enhanced High Performance read commands using mode bits to eliminate the overhead of SIO instructions when repeating the  
same type of read command.  
Multiple options for initial read latency (number of dummy cycles) for faster initial access time or higher clock rate read  
commands.  
DDR read commands for SIO, DIO, and QIO.  
Automatic ECC for enhanced data integrity.  
Advanced Sector Protection for individually controlling the protection of each sector. This is very similar to the Advanced Sector  
Protection feature found in several other Cypress parallel interface NOR memory families.

Sector  
An operation that changes data within volatile or non-volatile registers bits or non-volatile flash memory. When changing non-volatile  
data, an erase and reprogramming of any unchanged non-volatile data is done, as part of the operation, such that the non-volatile data  
is modified by the write operation, in the same way that volatile data is modified – as a single operation. The non-volatile data appears  
to the host system to be updated by the single write command, without the need for separate commands for erase and reprogram of  
adjacent, but unaffected data.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
Hardware Interface  
Serial Peripheral Interface with Multiple Input / Output (SPI-MIO)  
Many memory devices connect to their host system with separate parallel control, address, and data signals that require a large  
number of signal connections and larger package size. The large number of connections increase power consumption due to so  
many signals switching and the larger package increases cost.  
The S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices reduce the number of signals for connection to the host system by serially transferring all  
control, address, and data information over 4 to 6 signals. This reduces the cost of the memory package, reduces signal switching  
power, and either reduces the host connection count or frees host connectors for use in providing other features.  
The S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices use the industry standard single bit Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and also supports  
optional extension commands for two bit (Dual) and four bit (Quad) wide serial transfers. This multiple width interface is called SPI  
Multi-I/O or SPI-MIO.

Do not use these connections for PCB signal routing channels. Do not connect any host system signal  
to this connection.

2.2  
Address and Data Configuration  
Traditional SPI single bit wide commands (Single or SIO) send information from the host to the memory only on the SI signal. Data  
may be sent back to the host serially on the Serial Output (SO) signal.  
Dual or Quad Output commands send information from the host to the memory only on the SI signal. Data will be returned to the  
host as a sequence of bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3.  
Dual or Quad Input/Output (I/O) commands send information from the host to the memory as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit  
(nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. Data is returned to the host similarly as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit (nibble) groups  
on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3.  
2.3  
RESET#  
The RESET# input provides a hardware method of resetting the device to standby state, ready for receiving a command. When  
RESET# is driven to logic low (VIL) for at least a period of tRP, the device:  
terminates any operation in progress,  
tristates all outputs,  
resets the volatile bits in the Configuration Register,  
resets the volatile bits in the Status Registers,  
resets the Bank Address Register to zero,  
loads the Program Buffer with all ones,  
reloads all internal configuration information necessary to bring the device to standby mode,  
and resets the internal Control Unit to standby state.  
RESET# causes the same initialization process as is performed when power comes up and requires tPU time.  
RESET# may be asserted low at any time. To ensure data integrity any operation that was interrupted by a hardware reset should  
be reinitiated once the device is ready to accept a command sequence.  
When RESET# is first asserted Low, the device draws ICC1 (50 MHz value) during tPU. If RESET# continues to be held at VSS the  
device draws CMOS standby current (ISB).  
RESET# has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used.  
The RESET# input is not available on all packages options. When not available the RESET# input of the device is tied to the inactive  
state, inside the package.  
2.4  
Serial Clock (SCK)  
This input signal provides the synchronization reference for the SPI interface. Instructions, addresses, or data input are latched on  
the rising edge of the SCK signal. Data output changes after the falling edge of SCK, in SDR commands, and after every edge in  
DDR commands.  
2.5  
Chip Select (CS#)  
The chip select signal indicates when a command for the device is in process and the other signals are relevant for the memory  
device. When the CS# signal is at the logic high state, the device is not selected and all input signals are ignored and all output  
signals are high impedance. Unless an internal Program, Erase or Write Registers (WRR) embedded operation is in progress, the  
device will be in the Standby Power mode. Driving the CS# input to logic low state enables the device, placing it in the Active Power  
mode. After Power-up, a falling edge on CS# is required prior to the start of any command.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
2.6  
Serial Input (SI) / IO0  
This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and data to be programmed.  
Values are latched on the rising edge of serial SCK clock signal.  
SI becomes IO0 - an input and output during Dual and Quad commands for receiving instructions, addresses, and data to be  
programmed (values latched on rising edge of serial SCK clock signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK, in  
SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).  
2.7  
Serial Output (SO) / IO1  
This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial SCK clock  
signal.  
SO becomes IO1 - an input and output during Dual and Quad commands for receiving addresses, and data to be programmed  
(values latched on rising edge of serial SCK clock signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK, in SDR commands,  
and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).  
2.8  
Write Protect (WP#) / IO2  
When WP# is driven Low (VIL), during a WRR command and while the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status  
Register is set to a 1, it is not possible to write to the Status and Configuration Registers. This prevents any alteration of the Block  
Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) and TBPROT bits of the Status Register. As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are  
protected by the Block Protect and TBPROT bits, are also hardware protected against data modification if WP# is Low during a  
WRR command.  
The WP# function is not available when the Quad mode is enabled (CR[1]=1). The WP# function is replaced by IO2 for input and  
output during Quad mode for receiving addresses, and data to be programmed (values are latched on rising edge of the SCK signal)  
as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK, in SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).  
WP# has an internal pull-up resistor; when unconnected, WP# is at VIH and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used  
for Quad mode.  
2.9  
Hold (HOLD#) / IO3  
The Hold (HOLD#) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without deselecting the device or stopping the  
serial clock.  
To enter the Hold condition, the device must be selected by driving the CS# input to the logic low state. It is recommended that the  
user keep the CS# input low state during the entire duration of the Hold condition. This is to ensure that the state of the interface  
logic remains unchanged from the moment of entering the Hold condition. If the CS# input is driven to the logic high state while the  
device is in the Hold condition, the interface logic of the device will be reset. To restart communication with the device, it is  
necessary to drive HOLD# to the logic high state while driving the CS# signal into the logic low state. This prevents the device from  
going back into the Hold condition.  
The Hold condition starts on the falling edge of the Hold (HOLD#) signal, provided that this coincides with SCK being at the logic low  
state. If the falling edge does not coincide with the SCK signal being at the logic low state, the Hold condition starts whenever the  
SCK signal reaches the logic low state. Taking the HOLD# signal to the logic low state does not terminate any Write, Program or  
Erase operation that is currently in progress.  
During the Hold condition, SO is in high impedance and both the SI and SCK input are Don't Care.  
The Hold condition ends on the rising edge of the Hold (HOLD#) signal, provided that this coincides with the SCK signal being at the  
logic low state. If the rising edge does not coincide with the SCK signal being at the logic low state, the Hold condition ends  
whenever the SCK signal reaches the logic low state.  
The HOLD# function is not available when the Quad mode is enabled (CR1[1] =1). The Hold function is replaced by IO3 for input  
and output during Quad mode for receiving addresses, and data to be programmed (values are latched on rising edge of the SCK  
signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK, in SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).  
The HOLD# signal has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used for Quad mode.

2.10 Core Voltage Supply (V )  
CC  
VCC is the voltage source for all device internal logic. It is the single voltage used for all device internal functions including read,  
program, and erase. The voltage may vary from 2.7V to 3.6V.  
2.11 Versatile I/O Power Supply (V )  
IO  
The Versatile I/O (VIO) supply is the voltage source for all device input receivers and output drivers and allows the host system to set  
the voltage levels that the device tolerates on all inputs and drives on outputs (address, control, and IO signals). The VIO range is  
1.65V to VCC. VIO cannot be greater than VCC  
.
For example, a VIO of 1.65V - 3.6V allows for I/O at the 1.8V, 2.5V or 3V levels, driving and receiving signals to and from other 1.8V,  
2.5V or 3V devices on the same data bus. VIO may be tied to VCC so that interface signals operate at the same voltage as the core  
of the device. VIO is not available in all package options, when not available the VIO supply is tied to VCC internal to the package.  
During the rise of power supplies the VIO supply voltage must remain less than or equal to the VCC supply voltage. This supply is not  
available in all package options. For a backward compatible SO16 footprint, the VIO supply is tied to VCC inside the package; thus,  
the IO will function at VCC level.  
2.12 Supply and Signal Ground (V )  
SS  
VSS is the common voltage drain and ground reference for the device core, input signal receivers, and output drivers.  
2.13 Not Connected (NC)  
No device internal signal is connected to the package connector nor is there any future plan to use the connector for a signal. The  
connection may safely be used for routing space for a signal on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). However, any signal connected to an  
NC must not have voltage levels higher than VIO.  
2.14 Reserved for Future Use (RFU)  
No device internal signal is currently connected to the package connector but is there potential future use of the connector. It is  
recommended to not use RFU connectors for PCB routing channels so that the PCB may take advantage of future enhanced  
features in compatible footprint devices.  
2.15 Do Not Use (DNU)  
A device internal signal may be connected to the package connector. The connection may be used by Cypress for test or other  
purposes and is not intended for connection to any host system signal. Any DNU signal related function will be inactive when the  
signal is at VIL. The signal has an internal pull-down resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system or may be tied to VSS  
.
Do not use these connections for PCB signal routing channels. Do not connect any host system signal to these connections.

3. Signal Protocols  
3.1  
SPI Clock Modes  
3.1.1 Single Data Rate (SDR)  
The S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices can be driven by an embedded microcontroller (bus master) in either of the two following  
clocking modes.  
Mode 0 with Clock Polarity (CPOL) = 0 and, Clock Phase (CPHA) = 0  
Mode 3 with CPOL = 1 and, CPHA = 1  
For these two modes, input data into the device is always latched in on the rising edge of the SCK signal and the output data is  
always available from the falling edge of the SCK clock signal.  
The difference between the two modes is the clock polarity when the bus master is in standby mode and not transferring any data.  
SCK will stay at logic low state with CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0  
SCK will stay at logic high state with CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1  
Figure 5. SPI SDR Modes Supported

CPOL=1_CPHA=1_SCK  
CS#  
SI  
MSB  
SO  
MSB  
Timing diagrams throughout the remainder of the document are generally shown as both mode 0 and 3 by showing SCK as both  
high and low at the fall of CS#. In some cases a timing diagram may show only mode 0 with SCK low at the fall of CS#. In such a  
case, mode 3 timing simply means clock is high at the fall of CS# so no SCK rising edge set up or hold time to the falling edge of  
CS# is needed for mode 3.  
SCK cycles are measured (counted) from one falling edge of SCK to the next falling edge of SCK. In mode 0 the beginning of the  
first SCK cycle in a command is measured from the falling edge of CS# to the first falling edge of SCK because SCK is already low  
at the beginning of a command.  
3.1.2 Double Data Rate (DDR)  
Mode 0 and Mode 3 are also supported for DDR commands. In DDR commands, the instruction bits are always latched on the rising  
edge of clock, the same as in SDR commands. However, the address and input data that follow the instruction are latched on both  
the rising and falling edges of SCK. The first address bit is latched on the first rising edge of SCK following the falling edge at the end  
of the last instruction bit. The first bit of output data is driven on the falling edge at the end of the last access latency (dummy) cycle.  
SCK cycles are measured (counted) in the same way as in SDR commands, from one falling edge of SCK to the next falling edge of  
SCK. In mode 0 the beginning of the first SCK cycle in a command is measured from the falling edge of CS# to the first falling edge  
of SCK because SCK is already low at the beginning of a command.

3.2  
Command Protocol  
All communication between the host system and S25FL128S and S25FL256S memory devices is in the form of units called  
commands.  
All commands begin with an instruction that selects the type of information transfer or device operation to be performed. Commands  
may also have an address, instruction modifier, latency period, data transfer to the memory, or data transfer from the memory. All  
instruction, address, and data information is transferred serially between the host system and memory device.  
All instructions are transferred from host to memory as a single bit serial sequence on the SI signal.  
Single bit wide commands may provide an address or data sent only on the SI signal. Data may be sent back to the host serially on  
the SO signal.  
Dual or Quad Output commands provide an address sent to the memory only on the SI signal. Data will be returned to the host as a  
sequence of bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3.  
Dual or Quad Input/Output (I/O) commands provide an address sent from the host as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or, four bit (nibble)  
groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. Data is returned to the host similarly as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or, four bit (nibble) groups on IO0,  
IO1, IO2, and IO3.  
Commands are structured as follows:  
Each command begins with CS# going low and ends with CS# returning high. The memory device is selected by the host driving  
the Chip Select (CS#) signal low throughout a command.  
The serial clock (SCK) marks the transfer of each bit or group of bits between the host and memory.  
Each command begins with an eight bit (byte) instruction. The instruction is always presented only as a single bit serial sequence  
on the Serial Input (SI) signal with one bit transferred to the memory device on each SCK rising edge. The instruction selects the  
type of information transfer or device operation to be performed.  
The instruction may be stand alone or may be followed by address bits to select a location within one of several address spaces  
in the device. The instruction determines the address space used. The address may be either a 24-bit or a 32-bit byte boundary,  
address. The address transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.  
The width of all transfers following the instruction are determined by the instruction sent. Following transfers may continue to be  
single bit serial on only the SI or Serial Output (SO) signals, they may be done in two bit groups per (dual) transfer on the IO0 and  
IO1 signals, or they may be done in 4 bit groups per (quad) transfer on the IO0-IO3 signals. Within the dual or quad groups the  
least significant bit is on IO0. More significant bits are placed in significance order on each higher numbered IO signal. SIngle bits  
or parallel bit groups are transferred in most to least significant bit order.  
Some instructions send an instruction modifier called mode bits, following the address, to indicate that the next command will be  
of the same type with an implied, rather than an explicit, instruction. The next command thus does not provide an instruction byte,  
only a new address and mode bits. This reduces the time needed to send each command when the same command type is  
repeated in a sequence of commands. The mode bit transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK  
edge, in DDR commands.  
The address or mode bits may be followed by write data to be stored in the memory device or by a read latency period before  
read data is returned to the host.  
Write data bit transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.  
SCK continues to toggle during any read access latency period. The latency may be zero to several SCK cycles (also referred to  
as dummy cycles). At the end of the read latency cycles, the first read data bits are driven from the outputs on SCK falling edge at  
the end of the last read latency cycle. The first read data bits are considered transferred to the host on the following SCK rising  
edge. Each following transfer occurs on the next SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.  
If the command returns read data to the host, the device continues sending data transfers until the host takes the CS# signal high.  
The CS# signal can be driven high after any transfer in the read data sequence. This will terminate the command.  
At the end of a command that does not return data, the host drives the CS# input high. The CS# signal must go high after the  
eighth bit, of a stand alone instruction or, of the last write data byte that is transferred. That is, the CS# signal must be driven high  
when the number of clock cycles after CS# signal was driven low is an exact multiple of eight cycles. If the CS# signal does not go  
high exactly at the eight SCK cycle boundary of the instruction or write data, the command is rejected and not executed.  
All instruction, address, and mode bits are shifted into the device with the Most Significant Bits (MSB) first. The data bits are  
shifted in and out of the device MSB first. All data is transferred in byte units with the lowest address byte sent first. Following  
bytes of data are sent in lowest to highest byte address order i.e. the byte address increments.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
All attempts to read the flash memory array during a program, erase, or a write cycle (embedded operations) are ignored. The  
embedded operation will continue to execute without any affect. A very limited set of commands are accepted during an  
embedded operation. These are discussed in the individual command descriptions.  
Depending on the command, the time for execution varies. A command to read status information from an executing command is  
available to determine when the command completes execution and whether the command was successful.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
3.3.1 Power-Off  
When the core supply voltage is at or below the VCC (low) voltage, the device is considered to be powered off. The device does not  
react to external signals, and is prevented from performing any program or erase operation.  
3.3.2 Low Power Hardware Data Protection  
When VCC is less than VCC (cut-off) the memory device will ignore commands to ensure that program and erase operations can not  
start when the core supply voltage is out of the operating range.  
3.3.3 Power-On (Cold) Reset  
When the core voltage supply remains at or below the VCC (low) voltage for tPD time, then rises to VCC (Minimum) the device will  
begin its Power-On Reset (POR) process. POR continues until the end of tPU. During tPU the device does not react to external input  
signals nor drive any outputs. Following the end of tPU the device transitions to the Interface Standby state and can accept  
commands. For additional information on POR see Section 5.3.1 Power-On (Cold) Reset on page 29.  
3.3.4 Hardware (Warm) Reset  
Some of the device package options provide a RESET# input. When RESET# is driven low for tRP time the device starts the  
hardware reset process. The process continues for tRPH time. Following the end of both tRPH and the reset hold time following the  
rise of RESET# (tRH) the device transitions to the Interface Standby state and can accept commands. For additional information on  
hardware reset see Section 28 POR followed by Hardware Reset on page 29.  
3.3.5 Interface Standby  
When CS# is high the SPI interface is in standby state. Inputs other than RESET# are ignored. The interface waits for the beginning  
of a new command. The next interface state is Instruction Cycle when CS# goes low to begin a new command.  
While in interface standby state the memory device draws standby current (ISB) if no embedded algorithm is in progress. If an  
embedded algorithm is in progress, the related current is drawn until the end of the algorithm when the entire device returns to  
standby current draw.  
3.3.6 Instruction Cycle  
When the host drives the MSB of an instruction and CS# goes low, on the next rising edge of SCK the device captures the MSB of  
the instruction that begins the new command. On each following rising edge of SCK the device captures the next lower significance  
bit of the 8-bit instruction. The host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, HOLD# high, and drives Write Protect (WP#) signal as needed for  
the instruction. However, WP# is only relevant during instruction cycles of a WRR command and is otherwise ignored.  
Each instruction selects the address space that is operated on and the transfer format used during the remainder of the command.  
The transfer format may be Single, Dual output, Quad output, Dual I/O, Quad I/O, DDR Single I/O, DDR Dual I/O, or DDR Quad I/O.  
The expected next interface state depends on the instruction received.  
Some commands are stand alone, needing no address or data transfer to or from the memory. The host returns CS# high after the  
rising edge of SCK for the eighth bit of the instruction in such commands. The next interface state in this case is Interface Standby.  
3.3.7 Hold  
When Quad mode is not enabled (CR[1]=0) the HOLD# / IO3 signal is used as the HOLD# input. The host keeps RESET# high,  
HOLD# low, SCK may be at a valid level or continue toggling, and CS# is low. When HOLD# is low a command is paused, as though  
SCK were held low. SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 ignore the input level when acting as inputs and are high impedance when acting as  
outputs during hold state. Whether these signals are input or output depends on the command and the point in the command  
sequence when HOLD# is asserted low.  
When HOLD# returns high the next state is the same state the interface was in just before HOLD# was asserted low.  
When Quad mode is enabled the HOLD# / IO3 signal is used as IO3.  
During DDR commands the HOLD# and WP# inputs are ignored.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
3.3.8 Single Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
Several commands transfer information after the instruction on the single serial input (SI) signal from host to the memory device. The  
dual output, and quad output commands send address to the memory using only SI but return read data using the I/O signals. The  
host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, HOLD# high, and drives SI as needed for the command. The memory does not drive the Serial  
Output (SO) signal.  
The expected next interface state depends on the instruction. Some instructions continue sending address or data to the memory  
using additional Single Input Cycles. Others may transition to Single Latency, or directly to Single, Dual, or Quad Output.  
3.3.9 Single Latency (Dummy) Cycle  
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main flash memory array before  
transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR[7:6]). During  
the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, and HOLD# high. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The host  
may drive the SI signal during these cycles or the host may leave SI floating. The memory does not use any data driven on SI / I/O0  
or other I/O signals during the latency cycles. In dual or quad read commands, the host must stop driving the I/O signals on the  
falling edge at the end of the last latency cycle. It is recommended that the host stop driving I/O signals during latency cycles so that  
there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory begins to drive at the end of the latency cycles. This prevents  
driver conflict between host and memory when the signal direction changes. The memory does not drive the Serial Output (SO) or I/  
O signals during the latency cycles.  
The next interface state depends on the command structure i.e. the number of latency cycles, and whether the read is single, dual,  
or quad width.  
3.3.10 Single Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
Several commands transfer information back to the host on the single Serial Output (SO) signal. The host keeps RESET# high, CS#  
low, and HOLD# high. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The memory ignores the Serial Input (SI) signal. The memory  
drives SO with data.  
The next interface state continues to be Single Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.  
3.3.11 Dual Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
The Read Dual I/O command transfers two address or mode bits to the memory in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, CS#  
low, HOLD# high. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The host drives address on SI / IO0 and SO / IO1.  
The next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a Dual Latency Cycle if there are latency cycles needed or  
Dual Output Cycle if no latency is required.  
3.3.12 Dual Latency (Dummy) Cycle  
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main flash memory array before  
transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR[7:6]). During  
the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, and HOLD# high. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The host  
may drive the SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 signals during these cycles or the host may leave SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 floating. The memory  
does not use any data driven on SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 during the latency cycles. The host must stop driving SI / IO0 and SO / IO1  
on the falling edge at the end of the last latency cycle. It is recommended that the host stop driving them during all latency cycles so  
that there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory begins to drive at the end of the latency cycles. This  
prevents driver conflict between host and memory when the signal direction changes. The memory does not drive the SI / IO0 and  
SO / IO1 signals during the latency cycles.  
The next interface state following the last latency cycle is a Dual Output Cycle.  
3.3.13 Dual Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
The Read Dual Output and Read Dual I/O return data to the host two bits in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, and  
HOLD# high. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The memory drives data on the SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 signals during the  
dual output cycles.  
The next interface state continues to be Dual Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
3.3.14 QPP or QOR Address Input Cycle  
The Quad Page Program and Quad Output Read commands send address to the memory only on IO0. The other IO signals are  
ignored because the device must be in Quad mode for these commands thus the Hold and Write Protect features are not active. The  
host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, and drives IO0.  
For QPP the next interface state following the delivery of address is the Quad Input Cycle.  
For QOR the next interface state following address is a Quad Latency Cycle if there are latency cycles needed or Quad Output  
Cycle if no latency is required.  
3.3.15 Quad Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
The Quad I/O Read command transfers four address or mode bits to the memory in each cycle. The Quad Page Program command  
transfers four data bits to the memory in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, and drives the IO signals.  
For Quad I/O Read the next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a Quad Latency Cycle if there are  
latency cycles needed or Quad Output Cycle if no latency is required. For Quad Page Program the host returns CS# high following  
the delivery of data to be programmed and the interface returns to standby state.  
3.3.16 Quad Latency (Dummy) Cycle  
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main flash memory array before  
transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR[7:6]). During  
the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# high, CS# low. The host may drive the IO signals during these cycles or the host may  
leave the IO floating. The memory does not use any data driven on IO during the latency cycles. The host must stop driving the IO  
signals on the falling edge at the end of the last latency cycle. It is recommended that the host stop driving them during all latency  
cycles so that there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory begins to drive at the end of the latency  
cycles. This prevents driver conflict between host and memory when the signal direction changes. The memory does not drive the IO  
signals during the latency cycles.  
The next interface state following the last latency cycle is a Quad Output Cycle.  
3.3.17 Quad Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
The Quad Output Read and Quad I/O Read return data to the host four bits in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS#  
low. The memory drives data on IO0-IO3 signals during the Quad output cycles.  
The next interface state continues to be Quad Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.  
3.3.18 DDR Single Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
The DDR Fast Read command sends address, and mode bits to the memory only on the IO0 signal. One bit is transferred on the  
rising edge of SCK and one bit on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS# low. The other IO signals  
are ignored by the memory.  
The next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a DDR Latency Cycle.  
3.3.19 DDR Dual Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
The DDR Dual I/O Read command sends address, and mode bits to the memory only on the IO0 and IO1 signals. Two bits are  
transferred on the rising edge of SCK and two bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS# low.  
The IO2 and IO3 signals are ignored by the memory.  
The next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a DDR Latency Cycle.  
3.3.20 DDR Quad Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
The DDR Quad I/O Read command sends address, and mode bits to the memory on all the IO signals. Four bits are transferred on  
the rising edge of SCK and four bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS# low.  
The next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a DDR Latency Cycle.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
3.3.21 DDR Latency Cycle  
DDR Read commands may have one to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main flash memory array  
before transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR[7:6]).  
During the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# high and CS# low. The host may not drive the IO signals during these cycles. So  
that there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory begins to drive. This prevents driver conflict between  
host and memory when the signal direction changes. The memory has an option to drive all the IO signals with a Data Learning  
Pattern (DLP) during the last 4 latency cycles. The DLP option should not be enabled when there are fewer than five latency cycles  
so that there is at least one cycle of high impedance for turn around of the IO signals before the memory begins driving the DLP.  
When there are more than 4 cycles of latency the memory does not drive the IO signals until the last four cycles of latency.  
The next interface state following the last latency cycle is a DDR Single, Dual, or Quad Output Cycle, depending on the instruction.  
3.3.22 DDR Single Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
The DDR Fast Read command returns bits to the host only on the SO / IO1 signal. One bit is transferred on the rising edge of SCK  
and one bit on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS# low. The other IO signals are not driven by the  
memory.  
The next interface state continues to be DDR Single Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.  
3.3.23 DDR Dual Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
The DDR Dual I/O Read command returns bits to the host only on the IO0 and IO1 signals. Two bits are transferred on the rising  
edge of SCK and two bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS# low. The IO2 and IO3 signals  
are not driven by the memory.  
The next interface state continues to be DDR Dual Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.  
3.3.24 DDR Quad Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
The DDR Quad I/O Read command returns bits to the host on all the IO signals. Four bits are transferred on the rising edge of SCK  
and four bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# high, and CS# low.  
The next interface state continues to be DDR Quad Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.  
3.4  
Configuration Register Effects on the Interface  
The configuration register bits 7 and 6 (CR1[7:6]) select the latency code for all read commands. The latency code selects the  
number of mode bit and latency cycles for each type of instruction.  
The configuration register bit 1 (CR1[1]) selects whether Quad mode is enabled to ignore HOLD# and WP# and allow Quad Page  
Program, Quad Output Read, and Quad I/O Read commands. Quad mode must also be selected to allow Read DDR Quad I/O  
commands.  
3.5  
Data Protection  
Some basic protection against unintended changes to stored data are provided and controlled purely by the hardware design. These  
are described below. Other software managed protection methods are discussed in the Software Interface on page 44 section of this  
document.  
3.5.1 Power-Up  
When the core supply voltage is at or below the VCC (low) voltage, the device is considered to be powered off. The device does not  
react to external signals, and is prevented from performing any program or erase operation. Program and erase operations continue  
to be prevented during the Power-on Reset (POR) because no command is accepted until the exit from POR to the Interface  
Standby state.  
3.5.2 Low Power  
When VCC is less than VCC (cut-off) the memory device will ignore commands to ensure that program and erase operations can not  
start when the core supply voltage is out of the operating range.  
3.5.3 Clock Pulse Count  
The device verifies that all program, erase, and Write Registers (WRR) commands consist of a clock pulse count that is a multiple of  
eight before executing them. A command not having a multiple of 8 clock pulse count is ignored and no error status is set for the  
command.

4.4  
Power-Up and Power-Down  
The device must not be selected at power-up or power-down (that is, CS# must follow the voltage applied on VCC) until VCC reaches  
the correct value as follows:  
VCC (min) at power-up, and then for a further delay of tPU  
VSS at power-down  
A simple pull-up resistor (generally of the order of 100 k) on Chip Select (CS#) can usually be used to insure safe and proper  
power-up and power-down.  
The device ignores all instructions until a time delay of tPU has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the minimum VCC  
threshold. See Figure 21. However, correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if VCC returns below VCC (min) during tPU. No  
command should be sent to the device until the end of tPU  
.
After power-up (tPU), the device is in Standby mode (not Deep Power Down mode), draws CMOS standby current (ISB), and the  
WEL bit is reset.  
During power-down or voltage drops below VCC (cut-off), the voltage must drop below VCC (low) for a period of tPD for the part to  
initialize correctly on power-up. See Figure 22. If during a voltage drop the VCC stays above VCC (cut-off) the part will stay initialized  
and will work correctly when VCC is again above VCC (min). In the event Power-on Reset (POR) did not complete correctly after  
power up, the assertion of the RESET# signal or receiving a software reset command (RESET) will restart the POR process.  
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling to stabilize the VCC supply at the device. Each device in a system  
should have the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package supply connection (this capacitor is generally of the  
order of 0.1 µf).

4.5.1 Active Power and Standby Power Modes  
The device is enabled and in the Active Power mode when Chip Select (CS#) is Low. When CS# is high, the device is disabled, but  
may still be in an Active Power mode until all program, erase, and write operations have completed. The device then goes into the  
Standby Power mode, and power consumption drops to ISB  
.

Reset  
5.3.1 Power-On (Cold) Reset  
The device executes a Power-On Reset (POR) process until a time delay of tPU has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above  
the minimum VCC threshold. See Figure 21 on page 25, Table 6 on page 25, and Table 11 on page 30. The device must not be  
selected (CS# to go high with VIO) during power-up (tPU), i.e. no commands may be sent to the device until the end of tPU. RESET#  
is ignored during POR. If RESET# is low during POR and remains low through and beyond the end of tPU, CS# must remain high  
until tRH after RESET# returns high. RESET# must return high for greater than tRS before returning low to initiate a hardware reset.

5.3.2 Hardware (Warm) Reset  
When the RESET# input transitions from VIH to VIL the device will reset register states in the same manner as power-on reset but,  
does not go through the full reset process that is performed during POR. The hardware reset process requires a period of tRPH to  
complete. If the POR process did not complete correctly for any reason during power-up (tPU), RESET# going low will initiate the full  
POR process instead of the hardware reset process and will require tPU to complete the POR process.  
The RESET# input provides a hardware method of resetting the flash memory device to standby state.  
RESET# must be high for tRS following tPU or tRPH, before going low again to initiate a hardware reset.  
When RESET# is driven low for at least a minimum period of time (tRP), the device terminates any operation in progress, tri-states  
all outputs, and ignores all read/write commands for the duration of tRPH. The device resets the interface to standby state.  
If CS# is low at the time RESET# is asserted, CS# must return high during tRPH before it can be asserted low again after tRH  
.
Hardware Reset is only offered in 16-lead SOIC and BGA packages.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
Software Interface  
This section discusses the features and behaviors most relevant to host system software that interacts with S25FL128S and  
S25FL256S memory devices.  
7. Address Space Maps  
7.1  
Overview  
7.1.1 Extended Address  
The S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices support 32-bit addresses to enable higher density devices than allowed by previous  
generation (legacy) SPI devices that supported only 24-bit addresses. A 24-bit byte resolution address can access only 16 Mbytes  
(128 Mbits) of maximum density. A 32-bit byte resolution address allows direct addressing of up to a 4 Gbytes (32 Gbits) of address  
space.  
Legacy commands continue to support 24-bit addresses for backward software compatibility. Extended 32-bit addresses are  
enabled in three ways:  
Bank address register — a software (command) loadable internal register that supplies the high order bits of address when legacy  
24-bit addresses are in use.  
Extended address mode — a bank address register bit that changes all legacy commands to expect 32 bits of address supplied  
from the host system.  
New commands — that perform both legacy and new functions, which expect 32-bit address.  
The default condition at power-up and after reset, is the Bank address register loaded with zeros and the extended address mode  
set for 24-bit addresses. This enables legacy software compatible access to the first 128 Mbits of a device.  
The S25FL128S device supports the extended address features in the same way but in essence ignores bits 31 to 24 of any  
address because the main flash array only needs 24 bits of address. This enables simple migration from the 128-Mb density to  
higher density devices without changing the address handling aspects of software.  
7.1.2 Multiple Address Spaces  
Many commands operate on the main flash memory array. Some commands operate on address spaces separate from the main  
flash array. Each separate address space uses the full 32-bit address but may only define a small portion of the available address  
space.  
7.2  
Flash Memory Array  
The main flash array is divided into erase units called sectors. The sectors are organized either as a hybrid combination of 4-kB and  
64-kB sectors, or as uniform 256-kbyte sectors. The sector organization depends on the device model selected, see Section 12.

7.3  
ID-CFI Address Space  
The RDID command (9Fh) reads information from a separate flash memory address space for device identification (ID) and  
Common Flash Interface (CFI) information. See Section 11.2 Device ID and Common Flash Interface (ID-CFI) Address Map  
on page 124 for the tables defining the contents of the ID-CFI address space. The ID-CFI address space is programmed by Cypress  
and read-only for the host system.  
7.4  
OTP Address Space  
Each S25FL128S and S25FL256S memory device has a 1024-byte One Time Program (OTP) address space that is separate from  
the main flash array. The OTP area is divided into 32, individually lockable, 32-byte aligned and length regions.  
In the 32-byte region starting at address zero:  
The 16 lowest address bytes are programmed by Cypress with a 128-bit random number. Only Cypress is able to program these  
bytes.  
The next 4 higher address bytes (OTP Lock Bytes) are used to provide one bit per OTP region to permanently protect each  
region from programming. The bytes are erased when shipped from Cypress. After an OTP region is programmed, it can be  
locked to prevent further programming, by programming the related protection bit in the OTP Lock Bytes.  
The next higher 12 bytes of the lowest address region are Reserved for Future Use (RFU). The bits in these RFU bytes may be  
programmed by the host system but it must be understood that a future device may use those bits for protection of a larger OTP  
space. The bytes are erased when shipped from Cypress.  
The remaining regions are erased when shipped from Cypress, and are available for programming of additional permanent data.  
Refer to Figure 42 on page 47 for a pictorial representation of the OTP memory space.  
The OTP memory space is intended for increased system security. OTP values, such as the random number programmed by  
Cypress, can be used to “mate” a flash component with the system CPU/ASIC to prevent device substitution.  
The configuration register FREEZE (CR1[0]) bit protects the entire OTP memory space from programming when set to 1. This allows  
trusted boot code to control programming of OTP regions then set the FREEZE bit to prevent further OTP memory space  
programming during the remainder of normal power-on system operation.

Registers  
Registers are small groups of memory cells used to configure how the S25FL-S memory device operates or to report the status of  
device operations. The registers are accessed by specific commands. The commands (and hexadecimal instruction codes) used for  
each register are noted in each register description. The individual register bits may be volatile, non-volatile, or One Time  
Programmable (OTP). The type for each bit is noted in each register description. The default state shown for each bit refers to the  
state after power-on reset, hardware reset, or software reset if the bit is volatile. If the bit is non-volatile or OTP, the default state is  
the value of the bit when the device is shipped from Cypress. Non-volatile bits have the same cycling (erase and program)  
endurance as the main flash array.

The Status Register contains both status and control bits:  
Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) SR1[7]: Places the device in the Hardware Protected mode when this bit is set to 1 and the  
WP# input is driven low. In this mode, the SRWD, BP2, BP1, and BP0 bits of the Status Register become read-only bits and the  
Write Registers (WRR) command is no longer accepted for execution. If WP# is high the SRWD bit and BP bits may be changed by  
the WRR command. If SRWD is 0, WP# has no effect and the SRWD bit and BP bits may be changed by the WRR command. The  
SRWD bit has the same non-volatile endurance as the main flash array.  
Program Error (P_ERR) SR1[6]: The Program Error Bit is used as a program operation success or failure indication. When the  
Program Error bit is set to a 1 it indicates that there was an error in the last program operation. This bit will also be set when the user  
attempts to program within a protected main memory sector or locked OTP region. When the Program Error bit is set to a 1 this bit  
can be reset to 0 with the Clear Status Register (CLSR) command. This is a read-only bit and is not affected by the WRR command.  
Erase Error (E_ERR) SR1[5]: The Erase Error Bit is used as an Erase operation success or failure indication. When the Erase Error  
bit is set to a 1 it indicates that there was an error in the last erase operation. This bit will also be set when the user attempts to erase  
an individual protected main memory sector. The Bulk Erase command will not set E_ERR if a protected sector is found during the  
command execution. When the Erase Error bit is set to a 1 this bit can be reset to 0 with the Clear Status Register (CLSR)  
command. This is a read-only bit and is not affected by the WRR command.  
Block Protection (BP2, BP1, BP0) SR1[4:2]: These bits define the main flash array area to be software-protected against program  
and erase commands. The BP bits are either volatile or non-volatile, depending on the state of the BP non-volatile bit (BPNV) in the  
configuration register. When one or more of the BP bits is set to 1, the relevant memory area is protected against program and  
erase. The Bulk Erase (BE) command can be executed only when the BP bits are cleared to 0’s. See Block Protection on page 59  
for a description of how the BP bit values select the memory array area protected. The BP bits have the same non-volatile  
endurance as the main flash array.  
Write Enable Latch (WEL) SR1[1]: The WEL bit must be set to 1 to enable program, write, or erase operations as a means to  
provide protection against inadvertent changes to memory or register values. The Write Enable (WREN) command execution sets  
the Write Enable Latch to a 1 to allow any program, erase, or write commands to execute afterwards. The Write Disable (WRDI)  
command can be used to set the Write Enable Latch to a 0 to prevent all program, erase, and write commands from execution. The  
WEL bit is cleared to 0 at the end of any successful program, write, or erase operation. Following a failed operation the WEL bit may  
remain set and should be cleared with a WRDI command following a CLSR command. After a power down/power up sequence,  
hardware reset, or software reset, the Write Enable Latch is set to a 0 The WRR command does not affect this bit.  
Write In Progress (WIP) SR1[0]: Indicates whether the device is performing a program, write, erase operation, or any other  
operation, during which a new operation command will be ignored. When the bit is set to a 1 the device is busy performing an  
operation. While WIP is 1, only Read Status (RDSR1 or RDSR2), Erase Suspend (ERSP), Program Suspend (PGSP), Clear Status  
Register (CLSR), and Software Reset (RESET) commands may be accepted. ERSP and PGSP will only be accepted if memory  
array erase or program operations are in progress. The status register E_ERR and P_ERR bits are updated while WIP = 1. When  
P_ERR or E_ERR bits are set to one, the WIP bit will remain set to one indicating the device remains busy and unable to receive  
new operation commands. A Clear Status Register (CLSR) command must be received to return the device to standby mode. When  
the WIP bit is cleared to 0 no operation is in progress. This is a read-only bit.

Latency Code (LC) CR1[7:6]: The Latency Code selects the number of mode and dummy cycles between the end of address and  
the start of read data output for all read commands.  
Some read commands send mode bits following the address to indicate that the next command will be of the same type with an  
implied, rather than an explicit, instruction. The next command thus does not provide an instruction byte, only a new address and  
mode bits. This reduces the time needed to send each command when the same command type is repeated in a sequence of  
commands.  
Dummy cycles provide additional latency that is needed to complete the initial read access of the flash array before data can be  
returned to the host system. Some read commands require additional latency cycles as the SCK frequency is increased.  
The following latency code tables provide different latency settings that are configured by Cypress. The High Performance versus  
the Enhanced High Performance settings are selected by the ordering part number.  
Where mode or latency (dummy) cycles are shown in the tables as a dash, that read command is not supported at the frequency  
shown. Read is supported only up to 50 MHz but the same latency value is assigned in each latency code and the command may be  
used when the device is operated at 50 MHz with any latency code setting. Similarly, only the Fast Read command is supported  
up to 133 MHz but the same 10b latency code is used for Fast Read up to 133 MHz and for the other dual and quad read commands  
up to 104 MHz. It is not necessary to change the latency code from a higher to a lower frequency when operating at lower  
frequencies where a particular command is supported. The latency code values for a higher frequency can be used for accesses at  
lower frequencies.  
The High Performance settings provide latency options that are the same or faster than alternate source SPI memories. These  
settings provide mode bits only for the Quad I/O Read command.  
The Enhanced High Performance settings similarly provide latency options the same or faster than additional alternate source SPI  
memories and adds mode bits for the Dual I/O Read, DDR Fast Read, and DDR Dual I/O Read commands.

Read DDR Data Learning Pattern (DLP) bits may be placed within the dummy cycles immediately before the start of read data, if  
there are 5 or more dummy cycles. See Section 9.4 Read Memory Array Commands on page 84 for more information on the DLP.

Note:  
1. When using DDR I/O commands with the Data Learning Pattern (DLP) enabled, a Latency Code that provides 5 or more dummy cycles should be selected to allow 1  
cycle of additional time for the host to stop driving before the memory starts driving the 4 cycle DLP. It is recommended to use LC 10 for DDR Fast Read, LC 01 for  
DDR Dual IO Read, and LC 00 for DDR Quad IO Read, if the Data Learning Pattern (DLP) for DDR is used.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
Top or Bottom Protection (TBPROT) CR1[5]: This bit defines the operation of the Block Protection bits BP2, BP1, and BP0 in the  
Status Register. As described in the status register section, the BP2-0 bits allow the user to optionally protect a portion of the array,  
ranging from 1/64, 1/4, 1/2, etc., up to the entire array. When TBPROT is set to a 0 the Block Protection is defined to start from the  
top (maximum address) of the array. When TBPROT is set to a 1 the Block Protection is defined to start from the bottom (zero  
address) of the array. The TBPROT bit is OTP and set to a 0 when shipped from Cypress. If TBPROT is programmed to 1, an  
attempt to change it back to 0 will fail and set the Program Error bit (P_ERR in SR1[6]).  
The desired state of TBPROT must be selected during the initial configuration of the device during system manufacture; before the  
first program or erase operation on the main flash array. TBPROT must not be programmed after programming or erasing is done in  
the main flash array.  
CR1[4]: Reserved for Future Use  
Block Protection Non-Volatile (BPNV) CR1[3]: The BPNV bit defines whether or not the BP2-0 bits in the Status Register are  
volatile or non-volatile. The BPNV bit is OTP and cleared to a0 with the BP bits cleared to 000 when shipped from Cypress. When  
BPNV is set to a 0 the BP2-0 bits in the Status Register are non-volatile. When BPNV is set to a 1 the BP2-0 bits in the Status  
Register are volatile and will be reset to binary 111 after POR, hardware reset, or command reset. If BPNV is programmed to 1, an  
attempt to change it back to 0 will fail and set the Program Error bit (P_ERR in SR1[6]).  
TBPARM CR1[2]: TBPARM defines the logical location of the parameter block. The parameter block consists of thirty-two 4-kB  
small sectors (SMS), which replace two 64-kB sectors. When TBPARM is set to a 1 the parameter block is in the top of the memory  
array address space. When TBPARM is set to a 0 the parameter block is at the Bottom of the array. TBPARM is OTP and set to a 0  
when it ships from Cypress. If TBPARM is programmed to 1, an attempt to change it back to 0 will fail and set the Program Error bit  
(P_ERR in SR1[6]).  
The desired state of TBPARM must be selected during the initial configuration of the device during system manufacture; before the  
first program or erase operation on the main flash array. TBPARM must not be programmed after programming or erasing is done in  
the main flash array.  
TBPROT can be set or cleared independent of the TBPARM bit. Therefore, the user can elect to store parameter information from  
the bottom of the array and protect boot code starting at the top of the array, and vice versa. Or the user can select to store and  
protect the parameter information starting from the top or bottom together.  
When the memory array is logically configured as uniform 256-kB sectors, the TBPARM bit is Reserved for Future Use (RFU) and  
has no effect because all sectors are uniform size.  
Quad Data Width (QUAD) CR1[1]: When set to 1, this bit switches the data width of the device to 4 bit - Quad mode. That is, WP#  
becomes IO2 and HOLD# becomes IO3. The WP# and HOLD# inputs are not monitored for their normal functions and are internally  
set to high (inactive). The commands for Serial, Dual Output, and Dual I/O Read still function normally but, there is no need to drive  
WP# and Hold# inputs for those commands when switching between commands using different data path widths. The QUAD bit  
must be set to one when using Read Quad Out, Quad I/O Read, Read DDR Quad I/O, and Quad Page Program commands. The  
QUAD bit is non-volatile.  
Freeze Protection (FREEZE) CR1[0]: The Freeze Bit, when set to 1, locks the current state of the BP2-0 bits in Status Register, the  
TBPROT and TBPARM bits in the Configuration Register, and the OTP address space. This prevents writing, programming, or  
erasing these areas. As long as the FREEZE bit remains cleared to logic 0 the other bits of the Configuration Register, including  
FREEZE, are writable, and the OTP address space is programmable. Once the FREEZE bit has been written to a logic 1 it can only  
be cleared to a logic 0 by a power-off to power-on cycle or a hardware reset. Software reset will not affect the state of the FREEZE  
bit. The FREEZE bit is volatile and the default state of FREEZE after power-on is 0. The FREEZE bit can be set in parallel with  
updating other values in CR1 by a single WRR command.

is cleared to 0, the device is not in erase suspend mode. Refer to Erase Suspend and Resume Commands (75h) (7Ah) for details  
about the Erase Suspend/Resume commands.  
Program Suspend (PS) SR2[0]: The Program Suspend bit is used to determine when the device is in Program Suspend mode.

Extended Address (EXTADD) BAR[7]: EXTADD controls the address field size for legacy SPI commands. By default (power up  
reset, hardware reset, and software reset), it is cleared to 0 for 3 bytes (24 bits) of address. When set to 1, the legacy commands will  
require 4 bytes (32 bits) for the address field. This is a volatile bit.  
7.5.6 ECC Status Register (ECCSR)  
Related Commands: ECC Read (ECCRD 18h). ECCSR does not have user programmable non-volatile bits. All defined bits are  
volatile read only status. The default state of these bits are set by hardware. See Section 9.5.1.1 Automatic ECC on page 100.  
The status of ECC in each ECC unit is provided by the 8-bit ECC Status Register (ECCSR). The ECC Register Read command is  
written followed by an ECC unit address. The contents of the status register then indicates, for the selected ECC unit, whether there  
is an error in the ECC unit eight bit error correction code, the ECC unit of 16 Bytes of data, or that ECC is disabled for that ECC unit.

7.5.12 SPI DDR Data Learning Registers  
Related Commands: Program NVDLR (PNVDLR 43h), Write VDLR (WVDLR 4Ah), Data Learning Pattern Read (DLPRD 41h).  
The Data Learning Pattern (DLP) resides in an 8-bit Non-Volatile Data Learning Register (NVDLR) as well as an 8-bit Volatile Data  
Learning Register (VDLR). When shipped from Cypress, the NVDLR value is 00h. Once programmed, the NVDLR cannot be  
reprogrammed or erased; a copy of the data pattern in the NVDLR will also be written to the VDLR. The VDLR can be written to at  
any time, but on reset or power cycles the data pattern will revert back to what is in the NVDLR. During the learning phase described  
in the SPI DDR modes, the DLP will come from the VDLR. Each IO will output the same DLP value for every clock edge. For  
example, if the DLP is 34h (or binary 00110100) then during the first clock edge all IO’s will output 0; subsequently, the 2nd clock  
edge all I/O’s will output 0, the 3rd will output 1, etc.  
When the VDLR value is 00h, no preamble data pattern is presented during the dummy phase in the DDR commands.

8. Data Protection  
8.1  
Secure Silicon Region (OTP)  
The device has a 1024-byte One Time Program (OTP) address space that is separate from the main flash array. The OTP area is  
divided into 32, individually lockable, 32-byte aligned and length regions.  
The OTP memory space is intended for increased system security. OTP values can “mate” a flash component with the system CPU/  
ASIC to prevent device substitution. See Section 7.4 OTP Address Space on page 46, Section 9.7 One Time Program Array  
Commands on page 111, and Section 9.7.2 OTP Read (OTPR 4Bh) on page 112.  
8.1.1 Reading OTP Memory Space  
The OTP Read command uses the same protocol as Fast Read. OTP Read operations outside the valid 1-kB OTP address range  
will yield indeterminate data.  
8.1.2 Programming OTP Memory Space  
The protocol of the OTP programming command is the same as Page Program. The OTP Program command can be issued multiple  
times to any given OTP address, but this address space can never be erased.  
Automatic ECC is programmed on the first programming operation to each 16-byte region. Programming within a 16-byte region  
more than once disables the ECC. It is recommended to program each 16-byte portion of each 32-byte region once so that ECC  
remains enabled to provide the best data integrity.  
The valid address range for OTP Program is depicted in Figure 42 on page 47. OTP Program operations outside the valid OTP  
address range will be ignored and the WEL in SR1 will remain high (set to 1). OTP Program operations while FREEZE = 1 will fail  
with P_ERR in SR1 set to 1.  
8.1.3 Cypress Programmed Random Number  
Cypress standard practice is to program the low order 16 bytes of the OTP memory space (locations 0x0 to 0xF) with a 128-bit  
random number using the Linear Congruential Random Number Method. The seed value for the algorithm is a random number  
concatenated with the day and time of tester insertion.  
8.1.4 Lock Bytes  
The LSB of each Lock byte protects the lowest address region related to the byte, the MSB protects the highest address region  
related to the byte. The next higher address byte similarly protects the next higher 8 regions. The LSB bit of the lowest address Lock  
Byte protects the higher address 16 bytes of the lowest address region. In other words, the LSB of location 0x10 protects all the Lock  
Bytes and RFU bytes in the lowest address region from further programming. See Section 7.4 OTP Address Space on page 46.  
8.2  
Write Enable Command  
The Write Enable (WREN) command must be written prior to any command that modifies non-volatile data. The WREN command  
sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The WEL bit is cleared to 0 (disables writes) during power-up, hardware reset, or after the  
device completes the following commands:  
– Reset  
– Page Program (PP)  
– Sector Erase (SE)  
– Bulk Erase (BE)  
– Write Disable (WRDI)  
– Write Registers (WRR)  
– Quad-input Page Programming (QPP)

8.3  
Block Protection  
The Block Protect bits (Status Register bits BP2, BP1, BP0) in combination with the Configuration Register TBPROT bit can be used  
to protect an address range of the main flash array from program and erase operations. The size of the range is determined by the  
value of the BP bits and the upper or lower starting point of the range is selected by the TBPROT bit of the configuration register.

When Block Protection is enabled (i.e., any BP2-0 are set to 1), Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) can still be used to protect  
sectors not protected by the Block Protection scheme. In the case that both ASP and Block Protection are used on the same sector  
the logical OR of ASP and Block Protection related to the sector is used. Recommendation: ASP and Block Protection should not be  
used concurrently. Use one or the other, but not both.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
8.3.1 Freeze Bit  
Bit 0 of the Configuration Register is the FREEZE bit. The FREEZE bit locks the BP2-0 bits in Status Register 1 and the TBPROT bit  
in the Configuration Register to their value at the time the FREEZE bit is set to 1. Once the FREEZE bit has been written to a logic 1  
it cannot be cleared to a logic 0 until a power-on-reset is executed. As long as the FREEZE bit is cleared to logic 0 the status register  
BP bits and the TBPROT bit of the Configuration Register are writable. The FREEZE bit also protects the entire OTP memory space  
from programming when set to 1. Any attempt to change the BP bits with the WRR command while FREEZE = 1 is ignored and no  
error status is set.  
8.3.2 Write Protect Signal  
The Write Protect (WP#) input in combination with the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit provide hardware input signal  
controlled protection. When WP# is Low and SRWD is set to 1 the Status and Configuration register is protected from alteration.  
This prevents disabling or changing the protection defined by the Block Protect bits.  
8.4  
Advanced Sector Protection  
Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) is the name used for a set of independent hardware and software methods used to disable or  
enable programming or erase operations, individually, in any or all sectors. An overview of these methods is shown in Figure 43  
on page 60.  
Block Protection and ASP protection settings for each sector are logically OR’d to define the protection for each sector, i.e. if either  
mechanism is protecting a sector the sector cannot be programmed or erased. Refer to Section 8.3 Block Protection on page 59 for  
full details of the BP2-0 bits.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
Every main flash array sector has a non-volatile (PPB) and a volatile (DYB) protection bit associated with it. When either bit is 0, the  
sector is protected from program and erase operations.  
The PPB bits are protected from program and erase when the PPB Lock bit is 0. There are two methods for managing the state of  
the PPB Lock bit, Persistent Protection and Password Protection.  
The Persistent Protection method sets the PPB Lock bit to 1 during POR, or Hardware Reset so that the PPB bits are unprotected by  
a device reset. There is a command to clear the PPB Lock bit to 0 to protect the PPB. There is no command in the Persistent  
Protection method to set the PPB Lock bit to 1, therefore the PPB Lock bit will remain at 0 until the next power-off or hardware reset.  
The Persistent Protection method allows boot code the option of changing sector protection by programming or erasing the PPB,  
then protecting the PPB from further change for the remainder of normal system operation by clearing the PPB Lock bit to 0. This is  
sometimes called Boot-code controlled sector protection.  
The Password method clears the PPB Lock bit to 0 during POR, or Hardware Reset to protect the PPB. A 64-bit password may be  
permanently programmed and hidden for the password method. A command can be used to provide a password for comparison with  
the hidden password. If the password matches, the PPB Lock bit is set to 1 to unprotect the PPB. A command can be used to clear  
the PPB Lock bit to 0. This method requires use of a password to control PPB protection.  
The selection of the PPB Lock bit management method is made by programming OTP bits in the ASP Register so as to permanently  
select the method used.  
8.4.1 ASP Register  
The ASP register is used to permanently configure the behavior of Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) features. See Table 34  
on page 55.  
As shipped from the factory, all devices default ASP to the Persistent Protection mode, with all sectors unprotected, when power is  
applied. The device programmer or host system must then choose which sector protection method to use. Programming either of  
the, one-time programmable, Protection Mode Lock Bits, locks the part permanently in the selected mode:  
ASPR[2:1] = 11 = No ASP mode selected, Persistent Protection Mode is the default.  
ASPR[2:1] = 10 = Persistent Protection Mode permanently selected.  
ASPR[2:1] = 01 = Password Protection Mode permanently selected.  
ASPR[2:1] = 00 = Illegal condition, attempting to program both bits to zero results in a programming failure.  
ASP register programming rules:  
If the password mode is chosen, the password must be programmed prior to setting the Protection Mode Lock Bits.  
Once the Protection Mode is selected, the Protection Mode Lock Bits are permanently protected from programming and no further  
changes to the ASP register is allowed.  
The programming time of the ASP Register is the same as the typical page programming time. The system can determine the status  
of the ASP register programming operation by reading the WIP bit in the Status Register. See Section 7.5.1 Status Register 1 (SR1)  
on page 48 for information on WIP.  
After selecting a sector protection method, each sector can operate in each of the following states:  
Dynamically Locked — A sector is protected and can be changed by a simple command.  
Persistently Locked — A sector is protected and cannot be changed if its PPB Bit is 0.  
Unlocked — The sector is unprotected and can be changed by a simple command.  
Document Number: 001-98283 Rev. *N  
Page 61 of 148  
S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
8.4.2 Persistent Protection Bits  
The Persistent Protection Bits (PPB) are located in a separate nonvolatile flash array. One of the PPB bits is related to each sector.  
When a PPB is 0, its related sector is protected from program and erase operations. The PPB are programmed individually but must  
be erased as a group, similar to the way individual words may be programmed in the main array but an entire sector must be erased  
at the same time. The PPB have the same program and erase endurance as the main flash memory array. Preprogramming and  
verification prior to erasure are handled by the device.  
Programming a PPB bit requires the typical page programming time. Erasing all the PPBs requires typical sector erase time. During  
PPB bit programming and PPB bit erasing, status is available by reading the Status register. Reading of a PPB bit requires the initial  
access time of the device.  
Notes:  
Each PPB is individually programmed to 0 and all are erased to 1 in parallel.  
If the PPB Lock bit is 0, the PPB Program or PPB Erase command does not execute and fails without programming or erasing the  
PPB.  
The state of the PPB for a given sector can be verified by using the PPB Read command.  
8.4.3 Dynamic Protection Bits  
Dynamic Protection Bits are volatile and unique for each sector and can be individually modified. DYB only control the protection for  
sectors that have their PPB set to 1. By issuing the DYB Write command, a DYB is cleared to 0 or set to 1, thus placing each sector  
in the protected or unprotected state respectively. This feature allows software to easily protect sectors against inadvertent changes,  
yet does not prevent the easy removal of protection when changes are needed. The DYBs can be set or cleared as often as needed  
as they are volatile bits.  
8.4.4 PPB Lock Bit (PPBL[0])  
The PPB Lock Bit is a volatile bit for protecting all PPB bits. When cleared to 0, it locks all PPBs and when set to 1, it allows the  
PPBs to be changed.  
The PLBWR command is used to clear the PPB Lock bit to 0. The PPB Lock Bit must be cleared to 0 only after all the PPBs are  
configured to the desired settings.  
In Persistent Protection mode, the PPB Lock is set to 1 during POR or a hardware reset. When cleared to 0, no software command  
sequence can set the PPB Lock bit to 1, only another hardware reset or power-up can set the PPB Lock bit.  
In the Password Protection mode, the PPB Lock bit is cleared to 0 during POR or a hardware reset. The PPB Lock bit can only be  
set to 1 by the Password Unlock command.  
8.4.5 Sector Protection States Summary  
Each sector can be in one of the following protection states:  
Unlocked — The sector is unprotected and protection can be changed by a simple command. The protection state defaults to  
unprotected after a power cycle, software reset, or hardware reset.  
Dynamically Locked — A sector is protected and protection can be changed by a simple command. The protection state is not  
saved across a power cycle or reset.  
Persistently Locked — A sector is protected and protection can only be changed if the PPB Lock Bit is set to 1. The protection  
state is non-volatile and saved across a power cycle or reset. Changing the protection state requires programming and or erase of  
the PPB bits

8.4.6 Persistent Protection Mode  
The Persistent Protection method sets the PPB Lock bit to 1 during POR or Hardware Reset so that the PPB bits are unprotected by  
a device hardware reset. Software reset does not affect the PPB Lock bit. The PLBWR command can clear the PPB Lock bit to 0 to  
protect the PPB. There is no command to set the PPB Lock bit therefore the PPB Lock bit will remain at 0 until the next power-off or  
hardware reset.  
8.4.7 Password Protection Mode  
Password Protection Mode allows an even higher level of security than the Persistent Sector Protection Mode, by requiring a 64-bit  
password for unlocking the PPB Lock bit. In addition to this password requirement, after power up and hardware reset, the PPB Lock  
bit is cleared to 0 to ensure protection at power-up. Successful execution of the Password Unlock command by entering the entire  
password clears the PPB Lock bit, allowing for sector PPB modifications.  
Password Protection Notes:  
Once the Password is programmed and verified, the Password Mode (ASPR[2]=0) must be set in order to prevent reading the  
password.  
The Password Program Command is only capable of programming ‘0’s. Programming a 1 after a cell is programmed as a 0  
results in the cell left as a 0 with no programming error set.  
The password is all 1’s when shipped from Cypress. It is located in its own memory space and is accessible through the use of the  
Password Program and Password Read commands.  
All 64-bit password combinations are valid as a password.  
The Password Mode, once programmed, prevents reading the 64-bit password and further password programming. All further  
program and read commands to the password region are disabled and these commands are ignored. There is no means to verify  
what the password is after the Password Mode Lock Bit is selected. Password verification is only allowed before selecting the  
Password Protection mode.  
The Protection Mode Lock Bits are not erasable.  
The exact password must be entered in order for the unlocking function to occur. If the password unlock command provided  
password does not match the hidden internal password, the unlock operation fails in the same manner as a programming  
operation on a protected sector. The P_ERR bit is set to one and the WIP Bit remains set. In this case it is a failure to change the  
state of the PPB Lock bit because it is still protected by the lack of a valid password.  
The Password Unlock command cannot be accepted any faster than once every 100 µs ± 20 µs. This makes it take an  
unreasonably long time (58 million years) for a hacker to run through all the 64-bit combinations in an attempt to correctly match a  
password. The Read Status Register 1 command may be used to read the WIP bit to determine when the device has completed  
the password unlock command or is ready to accept a new password command. When a valid password is provided the password  
unlock command does not insert the 100 µs delay before returning the WIP bit to zero.  
If the password is lost after selecting the Password Mode, there is no way to set the PPB Lock bit.  
ECC status may only be read from sectors that are readable. In read protection mode the addresses are forced to the boot sector  
address. ECC status is shown in that sector while read protection mode is active.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
9. Commands  
All communication between the host system and S25FL128S and S25FL256S memory devices is in the form of units called  
commands.  
All commands begin with an instruction that selects the type of information transfer or device operation to be performed. Commands  
may also have an address, instruction modifier, latency period, data transfer to the memory, or data transfer from the memory. All  
instruction, address, and data information is transferred serially between the host system and memory device.  
All instructions are transferred from host to memory as a single bit serial sequence on the SI signal.  
Single bit wide commands may provide an address or data sent only on the SI signal. Data may be sent back to the host serially on  
SO signal.  
Dual or Quad Output commands provide an address sent to the memory only on the SI signal. Data will be returned to the host as a  
sequence of bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3.  
Dual or Quad Input/Output (I/O) commands provide an address sent from the host as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or, four bit (nibble)  
groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. Data is returned to the host similarly as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or, four bit (nibble) groups on IO0,  
IO1, IO2, and IO3.  
Commands are structured as follows:  
Each command begins with an eight bit (byte) instruction.  
The instruction may be stand alone or may be followed by address bits to select a location within one of several address spaces  
in the device. The address may be either a 24-bit or 32-bit byte boundary address.  
The Serial Peripheral Interface with Multiple IO provides the option for each transfer of address and data information to be done  
one, two, or four bits in parallel. This enables a trade off between the number of signal connections (IO bus width) and the speed  
of information transfer. If the host system can support a two or four bit wide IO bus the memory performance can be increased by  
using the instructions that provide parallel two bit (dual) or parallel four bit (quad) transfers.  
The width of all transfers following the instruction are determined by the instruction sent.  
All single bits or parallel bit groups are transferred in most to least significant bit order.  
Some instructions send instruction modifier (mode) bits following the address to indicate that the next command will be of the  
same type with an implied, rather than an explicit, instruction. The next command thus does not provide an instruction byte, only  
a new address and mode bits. This reduces the time needed to send each command when the same command type is repeated  
in a sequence of commands.  
The address or mode bits may be followed by write data to be stored in the memory device or by a read latency period before  
read data is returned to the host.  
Read latency may be zero to several SCK cycles (also referred to as dummy cycles).  
All instruction, address, mode, and data information is transferred in byte granularity. Addresses are shifted into the device with  
the most significant byte first. All data is transferred with the lowest address byte sent first. Following bytes of data are sent in  
lowest to highest byte address order i.e. the byte address increments.  
All attempts to read the flash memory array during a program, erase, or a write cycle (embedded operations) are ignored. The  
embedded operation will continue to execute without any affect. A very limited set of commands are accepted during an  
embedded operation. These are discussed in the individual command descriptions. While a program, erase, or write operation is  
in progress, it is recommended to check that the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit is 0 before issuing most commands to the device, to  
ensure the new command can be accepted.  
Depending on the command, the time for execution varies. A command to read status information from an executing command is  
available to determine when the command completes execution and whether the command was successful.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
Although host software in some cases is used to directly control the SPI interface signals, the hardware interfaces of the host  
system and the memory device generally handle the details of signal relationships and timing. For this reason, signal relationships  
and timing are not covered in detail within this software interface focused section of the document. Instead, the focus is on the  
logical sequence of bits transferred in each command rather than the signal timing and relationships. Following are some general  
signal relationship descriptions to keep in mind. For additional information on the bit level format and signal timing relationships of  
commands, see Section 3.2 Command Protocol on page 14.  
– The host always controls the Chip Select (CS#), Serial Clock (SCK), and Serial Input (SI) - SI for single bit wide transfers. The  
memory drives Serial Output (SO) for single bit read transfers. The host and memory alternately drive the IO0-IO3  
signals during Dual and Quad transfers.  
– All commands begin with the host selecting the memory by driving CS# low before the first rising edge of SCK. CS# is kept  
low throughout a command and when CS# is returned high the command ends. Generally, CS# remains low for 8-bit transfer  
multiples to transfer byte granularity information. Some commands will not be accepted if CS# is returned high not at an 8-bit  
boundary.

2. For backward compatibility to the 3-byte address instructions, the standard instructions can be used in conjunction with  
the EXTADD Bit in the Bank Address Register (BAR[7]). By default BAR[7] is cleared to 0 (following power up and  
hardware reset), to enable 3-byte (24-bit) addressing. When set to 1, the legacy commands are changed to require 4  
bytes (32 bits) for the address field. The following instructions can be used in conjunction with EXTADD bit to switch from  
3 bytes to 4 bytes of address field.

3. For backward compatibility to the 3-byte addressing, the standard instructions can be used in conjunction with the Bank  
Address Register:  
a. The Bank Address Register is used to switch between 128-Mbit (16-Mbyte) banks of memory, The standard 3-byte  
address selects an address within the bank selected by the Bank Address Register.  
i. The host system writes the Bank Address Register to access beyond the first 128 Mbits of  
memory.  
ii. This applies to read, erase, and program commands.  
b. The Bank Register provides the high order (4th) byte of address, which is used to address the available memory at  
addresses greater than 16 Mbytes.  
c. Bank Register bits are volatile.  
i. On power up, the default is Bank0 (the lowest address 16 Mbytes).  
d. For Read, the device will continuously transfer out data until the end of the array.  
i. There is no bank to bank delay.  
ii. The Bank Address Register is not updated.  
iii. The Bank Address Register value is used only for the initial address of an access.

9.1.2 Read Device Identification  
There are multiple commands to read information about the device manufacturer, device type, and device features. SPI memories  
from different vendors have used different commands and formats for reading information about the memories. The S25FL128S and  
S25FL256S devices support the three most common device information commands.  
9.1.3 Register Read or Write  
There are multiple registers for reporting embedded operation status or controlling device configuration options. There are  
commands for reading or writing these registers. Registers contain both volatile and non-volatile bits. Non-volatile bits in registers  
are automatically erased and programmed as a single (write) operation.  
9.1.3.1 Monitoring Operation Status  
The host system can determine when a write, program, erase, suspend or other embedded operation is complete by monitoring the  
Write in Progress (WIP) bit in the Status Register. The Read from Status Register-1 command provides the state of the WIP bit. The  
program error (P_ERR) and erase error (E_ERR) bits in the status register indicate whether the most recent program or erase  
command has not completed successfully. When P_ERR or E_ERR bits are set to one, the WIP bit will remain set to one indicating  
the device remains busy. Under this condition, only the CLSR, WRDI, RDSR1, RDSR2, and software RESET commands are valid  
commands. A Clear Status Register (CLSR) followed by a Write Disable (WRDI) command must be sent to return the device to  
standby state. CLSR clears the WIP, P_ERR, and E_ERR bits. WRDI clears the WEL bit. Alternatively, Hardware Reset, or Software  
Reset (RESET) may be used to return the device to standby state.  
Document Number: 001-98283 Rev. *N  
Page 69 of 148  
S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
9.1.3.2 Configuration  
There are commands to read, write, and protect registers that control interface path width, interface timing, interface address length,  
and some aspects of data protection.  
9.1.4 Read Flash Array  
Data may be read from the memory starting at any byte boundary. Data bytes are sequentially read from incrementally higher byte  
addresses until the host ends the data transfer by driving CS# input High. If the byte address reaches the maximum address of the  
memory array, the read will continue at address zero of the array.  
There are several different read commands to specify different access latency and data path widths. Double Data Rate (DDR)  
commands also define the address and data bit relationship to both SCK edges:  
The Read command provides a single address bit per SCK rising edge on the SI signal with read data returning a single bit per  
SCK falling edge on the SO signal. This command has zero latency between the address and the returning data but is limited to a  
maximum SCK rate of 50 MHz.  
Other read commands have a latency period between the address and returning data but can operate at higher SCK frequencies.  
The latency depends on the configuration register latency code.  
The Fast Read command provides a single address bit per SCK rising edge on the SI signal with read data returning a single bit  
per SCK falling edge on the SO signal and may operate up to 133 MHz.  
Dual or Quad Output read commands provide address a single bit per SCK rising edge on the SI / IO0 signal with read data  
returning two bits, or four bits of data per SCK falling edge on the IO0-IO3 signals.  
Dual or Quad I/O Read commands provide address two bits or four bits per SCK rising edge with read data returning two bits, or  
four bits of data per SCK falling edge on the IO0-IO3 signals.  
Fast (Single), Dual, or Quad Double Data Rate read commands provide address one bit, two bits or four bits per every SCK edge  
with read data returning one bit, two bits, or four bits of data per every SCK edge on the IO0-IO3 signals. Double Data Rate (DDR)  
operation is only supported for core and I/O voltages of 3 to 3.6V.  
9.1.5 Program Flash Array  
Programming data requires two commands: Write Enable (WREN), and Page Program (PP or QPP). The Page Program command  
accepts from 1 byte up to 256 or 512 consecutive bytes of data (page) to be programmed in one operation. Programming means  
that bits can either be left at 1, or programmed from 1 to 0. Changing bits from 0 to 1 requires an erase operation.  
9.1.6 Erase Flash Array  
The Sector Erase (SE) and Bulk Erase (BE) commands set all the bits in a sector or the entire memory array to 1. A bit needs to be  
first erased to 1 before programming can change it to a 0. While bits can be individually programmed from a 1 to 0, erasing bits from  
0 to 1 must be done on a sector-wide (SE) or array-wide (BE) level.  
9.1.7 OTP, Block Protection, and Advanced Sector Protection  
There are commands to read and program a separate One TIme Programmable (OTP) array for permanent data such as a serial  
number. There are commands to control a contiguous group (block) of flash memory array sectors that are protected from program  
and erase operations. There are commands to control which individual flash memory array sectors are protected from program and  
erase operations.  
9.1.8 Reset  
There is a command to reset to the default conditions present after power on to the device. There is a command to reset (exit from)  
the Enhanced Performance Read Modes.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
9.1.9 Reserved  
Some instructions are reserved for future use. In this generation of the S25FL128S and S25FL256S some of these command  
instructions may be unused and not affect device operation, some may have undefined results.  
Some commands are reserved to ensure that a legacy or alternate source device command is allowed without affect. This allows  
legacy software to issue some commands that are not relevant for the current generation S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices with  
the assurance these commands do not cause some unexpected action.  
Some commands are reserved for use in special versions of the FL-S not addressed by this document or for a future generation.  
This allows new host memory controller designs to plan the flexibility to issue these command instructions. The command format is  
defined if known at the time this document revision is published.  
9.2  
Identification Commands  
9.2.1 Read Identification - REMS (Read_ID or REMS 90h)  
The READ_ID command identifies the Device Manufacturer ID and the Device ID. The command is also referred to as Read  
Electronic Manufacturer and device Signature (REMS). READ-ID (REMS) is only supported for backward compatibility and should  
not be used for new software designs. New software designs should instead make use of the RDID command.  
The command is initiated by shifting on SI the instruction code “90h” followed by a 24-bit address of 00000h. Following this, the  
Manufacturer ID and the Device ID are shifted out on SO starting at the falling edge of SCK after address. The Manufacturer ID and  
the Device ID are always shifted out with the MSB first. If the 24-bit address is set to 000001h, then the Device ID is read out first  
followed by the Manufacturer ID. The Manufacturer ID and Device ID output data toggles between address 000000H and 000001H  
until terminated by a low to high transition on CS# input. The maximum clock frequency for the READ_ID command is  
133 MHz.

9.2.2 Read Identification (RDID 9Fh)  
The Read Identification (RDID) command provides read access to manufacturer identification, device identification, and Common  
Flash Interface (CFI) information. The manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC. The CFI structure is defined by JEDEC  
standard. The device identification and CFI values are assigned by Cypress.  
The JEDEC Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification defines a device information structure, which allows a vendor-specified  
software flash management program (driver) to be used for entire families of flash devices. Software support can then be device-  
independent, JEDEC manufacturer ID independent, forward and backward-compatible for the specified flash device families.  
System vendors can standardize their flash drivers for long-term software compatibility by using the CFI values to configure a family  
driver from the CFI information of the device in use.  
Any RDID command issued while a program, erase, or write cycle is in progress is ignored and has no effect on execution of the  
program, erase, or write cycle that is in progress.  
The RDID instruction is shifted on SI. After the last bit of the RDID instruction is shifted into the device, a byte of manufacturer  
identification, two bytes of device identification, extended device identification, and CFI information will be shifted sequentially out on  
SO. As a whole this information is referred to as ID-CFI. See Section 7.3 ID-CFI Address Space on page 46 for the detail description  
of the ID-CFI contents.  
Continued shifting of output beyond the end of the defined ID-CFI address space will provide undefined data. The RDID command  
sequence is terminated by driving CS# to the logic high state anytime during data output.  
The maximum clock frequency for the RDID command is 133 MHz.

9.2.3 Read Electronic Signature (RES) (ABh)  
The RES command is used to read a single byte Electronic Signature from SO. RES is only supported for backward compatibility  
and should not be used for new software designs. New software designs should instead make use of the RDID command.  
The RES instruction is shifted in followed by three dummy bytes onto SI. After the last bit of the three dummy bytes are shifted into  
the device, a byte of Electronic Signature will be shifted out of SO. Each bit is shifted out by the falling edge of SCK. The maximum  
clock frequency for the RES command is 50 MHz.  
The Electronic Signature can be read repeatedly by applying multiples of eight clock cycles.  
The RES command sequence is terminated by driving CS# to the logic high state anytime during data output.

9.3.5 Bank Register Write (BRWR 17h)  
The Bank Register Write (BRWR) command is used to write address bits above A23, into the Bank Address Register (BAR). The  
command is also used to write the Extended address control bit (EXTADD) that is also in BAR[7]. BAR provides the high order  
addresses needed by devices having more than 128 Mbits (16 Mbytes), when using 3-byte address commands without extended  
addressing enabled (BAR[7] EXTADD = 0). Because this command is part of the addressing method and is not changing data in the  
flash memory, this command does not require the WREN command to precede it.  
The BRWR instruction is entered, followed by the data byte on SI. The Bank Register is one data byte in length.  
The BRWR command has no effect on the P_ERR, E_ERR or WIP bits of the Status and Configuration Registers. Any bank address  
bit reserved for the future should always be written as a 0.

9.3.6 Bank Register Access (BRAC B9h)  
The Bank Register Read and Write commands provide full access to the Bank Address Register (BAR) but they are both commands  
that are not present in legacy SPI memory devices. Host system SPI memory controller interfaces may not be able to easily support  
such new commands. The Bank Register Access (BRAC) command uses the same command code and format as the Deep Power  
Down (DPD) command that is available in legacy SPI memories. The FL-S family does not support a DPD feature but assigns this  
legacy command code to the BRAC command to enable write access to the Bank Address Register for legacy systems that are able  
to send the legacy DPD (B9h) command.  
When the BRAC command is sent, the FL-S family device will then interpret an immediately following Write Register (WRR)  
command as a write to the lower address bits of the BAR. A WREN command is not used between the BRAC and WRR commands.  
Only the lower two bits of the first data byte following the WRR command code are used to load BAR[1:0]. The upper bits of that byte  
and the content of the optional WRR command second data byte are ignored. Following the WRR command the access to BAR is  
closed and the device interface returns to the standby state. The combined BRAC followed by WRR command sequence has no  
affect on the value of the ExtAdd bit (BAR[7]).  
Commands other than WRR may immediately follow BRAC and execute normally. However, any command other than WRR, or any  
other sequence in which CS# goes low and returns high, following a BRAC command, will close the access to BAR and return to the  
normal interpretation of a WRR command as a write to Status Register-1 and the Configuration Register.  
The BRAC + WRR sequence is allowed only when the device is in standby, program suspend, or erase suspend states. This  
command sequence is illegal when the device is performing an embedded algorithm or when the program (P_ERR) or erase  
(E_ERR) status bits are set to 1.

9.3.7 Write Registers (WRR 01h)  
The Write Registers (WRR) command allows new values to be written to both the Status Register-1 and Configuration Register.  
Before the Write Registers (WRR) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be received.  
After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the  
Status Register to enable any write operations.  
The Write Registers (WRR) command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data bytes on SI. The Status Register is one data  
byte in length.  
The Write Registers (WRR) command will set the P_ERR or E_ERR bits if there is a failure in the WRR operation. Any Status or  
Configuration Register bit reserved for the future must be written as a 0.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth or sixteenth bit of data has been latched. If not, the Write Registers (WRR)  
command is not executed. If CS# is driven high after the eighth cycle then only the Status Register-1 is written; otherwise, after the  
sixteenth cycle both the Status and Configuration Registers are written. When the configuration register QUAD bit CR[1] is 1, only  
the WRR command format with 16 data bits may be used.  
As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed Write Registers (WRR) operation is initiated. While the Write  
Registers (WRR) operation 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 a 1 during the self-timed Write Registers (WRR) operation, and is a 0 when it is completed. When  
the Write Registers (WRR) operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a 0. The WRR command must be  
executed under continuous power. The maximum clock frequency for the WRR command is 133 MHz.

The Write Registers (WRR) command allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits to define  
the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only. The Write Registers (WRR) command also allows the user to set the Status  
Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit to a 1 or a 0. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow  
the BP bits to be hardware protected.  
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is a 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) command,  
regardless of the whether Write Protect (WP#) signal is driven to the logic high or logic low state.  
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is set to a 1, two cases need to be considered, depending  
on the state of Write Protect (WP#):  
If Write Protect (WP#) signal is driven to the logic high state, it is possible to write to the Status and Configuration Registers  
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set to a 1 by initiating a Write Enable (WREN) command.  
If Write Protect (WP#) signal is driven to the logic low state, it is not possible to write to the Status and Configuration Registers  
even if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set to a 1 by a Write Enable (WREN) command. Attempts to write to  
the Status and Configuration Registers are rejected, and are not accepted for execution. As a consequence, all the data bytes in  
the memory area that are protected by the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, are also hardware protected  
by WP#.  
The WP# hardware protection can be provided:  
by setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect (WP#) signal to the logic low state;  
or by driving Write Protect (WP#) signal to the logic low state after setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit to a 1.  
The only way to release the hardware protection is to pull the Write Protect (WP#) signal to the logic high state. If WP# is  
permanently tied high, hardware protection of the BP bits can never be activated.

9.3.8 Write Enable (WREN 06h)  
The Write Enable (WREN) command sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the Status Register 1 (SR1[1]) to a 1. The Write  
Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set to a 1 by issuing the Write Enable (WREN) command to enable write, program and erase  
commands.  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI. Without CS# being  
driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI, the write enable operation will not  
be executed.

The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit may be set to a 0 by issuing the Write Disable (WRDI) command to disable Page Program (PP),  
Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE), Write Registers (WRR), OTP Program (OTPP), and other commands, that require WEL be set  
to 1 for execution. The WRDI command can be used by the user to protect memory areas against inadvertent writes that can  
possibly corrupt the contents of the memory. The WRDI command is ignored during an embedded operation while WIP bit =1.  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI. Without CS# being  
driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI, the write disable operation will not

The Clear Status Register command resets bit SR1[5] (Erase Fail Flag) and bit SR1[6] (Program Fail Flag). It is not necessary to set  
the WEL bit before the Clear SR command is executed. The Clear SR command will be accepted even when the device remains  
busy with WIP set to 1, as the device does remain busy when either error bit is set. The WEL bit will be unchanged after this

selected, are shifted out on SO 16 times, once for each byte in the ECC Unit. If CS# remains low the next ECC unit status is sent  
through SO 16 times, once for each byte in the ECC Unit, this continues until CS# goes high. The maximum operating clock

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
9.3.12 AutoBoot  
SPI devices normally require 32 or more cycles of command and address shifting to initiate a read command. And, in order to read  
boot code from an SPI device, the host memory controller or processor must supply the read command from a hardwired state  
machine or from some host processor internal ROM code.  
Parallel NOR devices need only an initial address, supplied in parallel in a single cycle, and initial access time to start reading boot  
code.  
The AutoBoot feature allows the host memory controller to take boot code from an S25FL128S and S25FL256S device immediately  
after the end of reset, without having to send a read command. This saves 32 or more cycles and simplifies the logic needed to  
initiate the reading of boot code.  
As part of the power up reset, hardware reset, or command reset process the AutoBoot feature automatically starts a read access  
from a pre-specified address. At the time the reset process is completed, the device is ready to deliver code from the starting  
address. The host memory controller only needs to drive CS# signal from high to low and begin toggling the SCK signal. The  
S25FL128S and S25FL256S device will delay code output for a pre-specified number of clock cycles before code streams out.  
– The Auto Boot Start Delay (ABSD) field of the AutoBoot register specifies the initial delay if any is needed by the host.  
– The host cannot send commands during this time.  
If ABSD = 0, the maximum SCK frequency is 50 MHz.  
– If ABSD > 0, the maximum SCK frequency is 133 MHz if the QUAD bit CR1[1] is 0 or 104 MHz if the QUAD bit is set to 1.  
The starting address of the boot code is selected by the value programmed into the AutoBoot Start Address (ABSA) field of the  
AutoBoot Register which specifies a 512-byte boundary aligned location; the default address is 00000000h.  
– Data will continuously shift out until CS# returns high.  
At any point after the first data byte is transferred, when CS# returns high, the SPI device will reset to standard SPI mode; able to  
accept normal command operations.  
– A minimum of one byte must be transferred.  
– AutoBoot mode will not initiate again until another power cycle or a reset occurs.  
An AutoBoot Enable bit (ABE) is set to enable the AutoBoot feature.  
The AutoBoot register bits are non-volatile and provide:  
The starting address (512-byte boundary), set by the AutoBoot Start Address (ABSA). The size of the ABSA field is 23 bits for  
devices up to 32-Gbit.  
The number of initial delay cycles, set by the AutoBoot Start Delay (ABSD) 8-bit count value.  
The AutoBoot Enable.  
If the configuration register QUAD bit CR1[1] is set to 1, the boot code will be provided 4 bits per cycle in the same manner as a  
Read Quad Out command. If the QUAD bit is 0 the code is delivered serially in the same manner as a Read command.

9.3.13 AutoBoot Register Read (ABRD 14h)  
The AutoBoot Register Read command is shifted into SI. Then the 32-bit AutoBoot Register is shifted out on SO, least significant  
byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. It is possible to read the AutoBoot Register continuously by providing multiples of 32  
clock cycles. If the QUAD bit CR1[1] is cleared to 0, the maximum operating clock frequency for ABRD command is 133 MHz. If the  
QUAD bit CR1[1] is set to 1, the maximum operating clock frequency for ABRD command is 104 MHz.

9.3.14 AutoBoot Register Write (ABWR 15h)  
Before the ABWR command can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which  
sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
The ABWR command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data bytes on SI, least significant byte first, most significant bit of  
each byte first. The ABWR data is 32 bits in length.  
The ABWR command has status reported in Status Register-1 as both an erase and a programming operation. An E_ERR or a  
P_ERR may be set depending on whether the erase or programming phase of updating the register fails.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the 32nd bit of data has been latched. If not, the ABWR command is not executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed ABWR operation is initiated. While the ABWR operation is in  
progress, Status Register-1 may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit is a  
1 during the self-timed ABWR operation, and is a 0. when it is completed. When the ABWR cycle is completed, the Write Enable  
Latch (WEL) is set to a 0. The maximum clock frequency for the ABWR command is 133 MHz.

9.3.15 Program NVDLR (PNVDLR 43h)  
Before the Program NVDLR (PNVDLR) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be  
issued and decoded by the device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device will set the  
Write Enable Latch (WEL) to enable the PNVDLR operation.  
The PNVDLR command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data byte on SI.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth (8th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the PNVDLR command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PNVDLR operation is initiated. While the PNVDLR  
operation 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 a 1 during the self-timed PNVDLR cycle, and is a 0. when it is completed. The PNVDLR operation can report a  
program error in the P_ERR bit of the status register. When the PNVDLR operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is  
set to a 0 The maximum clock frequency for the PNVDLR command is 133 MHz.

9.3.16 Write VDLR (WVDLR 4Ah)  
Before the Write VDLR (WVDLR) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and  
decoded by the device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device will set the Write  
Enable Latch (WEL) to enable WVDLR operation.  
The WVDLR command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data byte on SI.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth (8th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the WVDLR command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the WVDLR operation is initiated with no delays. The maximum clock  
frequency for the PNVDLR command is 133 MHz.

Read Memory Array Commands  
Read commands for the main flash array provide many options for prior generation SPI compatibility or enhanced performance SPI:  
Some commands transfer address or data on each rising edge of SCK. These are called Single Data Rate commands (SDR).  
Some SDR commands transfer address one bit per rising edge of SCK and return data 1, 2, or 4 bits of data per rising edge of  
SCK. These are called Read or Fast Read for 1-bit data; Dual Output Read for 2-bit data, and Quad Output for 4-bit data.  
Some SDR commands transfer both address and data 2 or 4 bits per rising edge of SCK. These are called Dual I/O for 2 bit and  
Quad I/O for 4 bit.  
Some commands transfer address and data on both the rising edge and falling edge of SCK. These are called Double Data Rate  
(DDR) commands.  
There are DDR commands for 1, 2, or 4 bits of address or data per SCK edge. These are called Fast DDR for 1-bit, Dual I/O DDR  
for 2-bit, and Quad I/O DDR for 4-bit per edge transfer.  
All of these commands begin with an instruction code that is transferred one bit per SCK rising edge. The instruction is followed by  
either a 3- or 4-byte address transferred at SDR or DDR. Commands transferring address or data 2 or 4 bits per clock edge are  
called Multiple I/O (MIO) commands. For FL-S devices at  
256 Mbits or higher density, the traditional SPI 3-byte addresses are unable to directly address all locations in the memory array.  
These device have a bank address register that is used with 3-byte address commands to supply the high order address bits beyond  
the address from the host system. The default bank address is zero. Commands are provided to load and read the bank address  
register. These devices may also be configured to take a 4-byte address from the host system with the traditional 3-byte address  
commands. The 4-byte address mode for traditional commands is activated by setting the External Address (EXTADD) bit in the  
bank address register to 1. In the FL128S, higher order address bits above A23 in the 4-byte address commands, commands using  
Extended Address mode, and the Bank Address Register are not relevant and are ignored because the flash array is only 128 Mbits  
in size.  
The Quad I/O commands provide a performance improvement option controlled by mode bits that are sent following the address  
bits. The mode bits indicate whether the command following the end of the current read will be another read of the same type,  
without an instruction at the beginning of the read. These mode bits give the option to eliminate the instruction cycles when doing a  
series of Quad I/O read accesses.  
A device ordering option provides an enhanced high performance option by adding a similar mode bit scheme to the DDR Fast  
Read, Dual I/O, and Dual I/O DDR commands, in addition to the Quad I/O command.  
Some commands require delay cycles following the address or mode bits to allow time to access the memory array. The delay  
cycles are traditionally called dummy cycles. The dummy cycles are ignored by the memory thus any data provided by the host  
during these cycles is “don’t care” and the host may also leave the SI signal at high impedance during the dummy cycles. When MIO  
commands are used the host must stop driving the IO signals (outputs are high impedance) before the end of last dummy cycle.  
When DDR commands are used the host must not drive the I/O signals during any dummy cycle. The number of dummy cycles  
varies with the SCK frequency or performance option selected via the Configuration Register 1 (CR1) Latency Code (LC). Dummy  
cycles are measured from SCK falling edge to next SCK falling edge. SPI outputs are traditionally driven to a new value on the falling  
edge of each SCK. Zero dummy cycles means the returning data is driven by the memory on the same falling edge of SCK that the  
host stops driving address or mode bits.  
The DDR commands may optionally have an 8-edge Data Learning Pattern (DLP) driven by the memory, on all data outputs, in the  
dummy cycles immediately before the start of data. The DLP can help the host memory controller determine the phase shift from  
SCK to data edges so that the memory controller can capture data at the center of the data eye.  
When using SDR I/O commands at higher SCK frequencies (>50 MHz), an LC that provides 1 or more dummy cycles should be  
selected to allow additional time for the host to stop driving before the memory starts driving data, to minimize I/O driver conflict.  
When using DDR I/O commands with the DLP enabled, an LC that provides 5 or more dummy cycles should be selected to allow 1  
cycle of additional time for the host to stop driving before the memory starts driving the 4 cycle DLP.  
Each read command ends when CS# is returned High at any point during data return. CS# must not be returned High during the  
mode or dummy cycles before data returns as this may cause mode bits to be captured incorrectly; making it indeterminate as to  
whether the device remains in enhanced high performance read mode.

9.4.1 Read (Read 03h or 4READ 13h)  
The instruction  
03h (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
03h (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
13h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
Then the memory contents, at the address given, are shifted out on SO. The maximum operating clock frequency for the READ  
command is 50 MHz.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.

9.4.2 Fast Read (FAST_READ 0Bh or 4FAST_READ 0Ch)  
The instruction  
0Bh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
0Bh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
0Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
The address is followed by zero or eight dummy cycles depending on the latency code set in the Configuration Register. The dummy  
cycles allow the device internal circuits additional time for accessing the initial address location. During the dummy cycles the data  
value on SO is “don’t care” and may be high impedance. Then the memory contents, at the address given, are shifted out on SO.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for FAST READ command is 133 MHz.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.

9.4.3 Dual Output Read (DOR 3Bh or 4DOR 3Ch)  
The instruction  
3Bh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
3Bh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
3Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out two bits at a time through IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO). Two bits are shifted  
out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for the Dual Output Read command is 104 MHz. For Dual Output Read commands, there  
are zero or eight dummy cycles required after the last address bit is shifted into SI before data begins shifting out of IO0 and IO1.  
This latency period (i.e., dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to read from the initial address. During the  
dummy cycles, the data value on SI is a “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the  
frequency of SCK (refer to Table 28, Latency Codes for SDR Enhanced High Performance on page 51).  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.

9.4.4 Quad Output Read (QOR 6Bh or 4QOR 6Ch)  
The instruction  
6Bh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
6Bh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
6Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out four bits at a time through IO0-IO3. Each nibble (4 bits) is shifted out  
at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for Quad Output Read command is 104 MHz. For Quad Output Read Mode, there may be  
dummy cycles required after the last address bit is shifted into SI before data begins shifting out of IO0-IO3. This latency period (i.e.,  
dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to set up for the initial address. During the dummy cycles, the data  
value on IO0-IO3 is a “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK  
(refer to Table 28, Latency Codes for SDR Enhanced High Performance on page 51).  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
The QUAD bit of Configuration Register must be set (CR Bit1=1) to enable the Quad mode capability.

9.4.5 Dual I/O Read (DIOR BBh or 4DIOR BCh)  
The instruction  
BBh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
BBh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
BCh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
The Dual I/O Read commands improve throughput with two I/O signals — IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO). It is similar to the Dual Output  
Read command but takes input of the address two bits per SCK rising edge. In some applications, the reduced address input time  
might allow for code execution in place (XIP) i.e. directly from the memory device.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for Dual I/O Read is 104 MHz.  
For the Dual I/O Read command, there is a latency required after the last address bits are shifted into SI and SO before data begins  
shifting out of IO0 and IO1. There are different ordering part numbers that select the latency code table used for this command,  
either the High Performance LC (HPLC) table or the Enhanced High Performance LC (EHPLC) table. The HPLC table does not  
provide cycles for mode bits so each Dual I/O Read command starts with the 8 bit instruction, followed by address, followed by a  
latency period.  
This latency period (dummy cycles) allows the device internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During the  
dummy cycles, the data value on SI and SO are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is  
determined by the frequency of SCK (see Table 28 on page 51). The number of dummy cycles is set by the LC bits in the  
Configuration Register (CR1).  
The EHPLC table does provide cycles for mode bits so a series of Dual I/O Read commands may eliminate the 8-bit instruction after  
the first Dual I/O Read command sends a mode bit pattern of Axh that indicates the following command will also be a Dual I/O Read  
command. The first Dual I/O Read command in a series starts with the 8-bit instruction, followed by address, followed by four cycles  
of mode bits, followed by a latency period. If the mode bit pattern is Axh the next command is assumed to be an additional Dual I/O  
Read command that does not provide instruction bits. That command starts with address, followed by mode bits, followed by  
latency.  
The Enhanced High Performance feature removes the need for the instruction sequence and greatly improves code execution (XIP).  
The upper nibble (bits 7-4) of the Mode bits control the length of the next Dual I/O Read command through the inclusion or exclusion  
of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble (bits 3-0) of the Mode bits are “don’t care” (“x”) and may be high impedance. If the  
Mode bits equal Axh, then the device remains in Dual I/O Enhanced High Performance Read Mode and the next address can be  
entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low) without the BBh or BCh instruction, as shown in Figure 63; thus, eliminating  
eight cycles for the command sequence. The following sequence will release the device from Dual I/O Enhanced High Performance  
Read mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:  
During the Dual I/O Enhanced High Performance Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are any value other than Axh, then the  
next time CS# is raised high the device will be released from Dual  
I/O Read Enhanced High Performance Read mode.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
During any operation, if CS# toggles high to low to high for eight cycles (or less) and data input (IO0 and IO1) are not set for a valid  
instruction sequence, then the device will be released from Dual I/O Enhanced High Performance Read mode. Note that the four  
mode bit cycles are part of the device’s internal circuitry latency time to access the initial address after the last address cycle that is  
clocked into IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO).  
It is important that the I/O signals be set to high-impedance at or before the falling edge of the first data out clock. At higher clock  
speeds the time available to turn off the host outputs before the memory device begins to drive (bus turn around) is diminished. It is  
allowed and may be helpful in preventing I/O signal contention, for the host system to turn off the I/O signal outputs (make them high  
impedance) during the last two “don’t care” mode cycles or during any dummy cycles.  
Following the latency period the memory content, at the address given, is shifted out two bits at a time through IO0 (SI) and IO1  
(SO). Two bits are shifted out at the SCK frequency at the falling edge of SCK signal.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.

9.4.6 Quad I/O Read (QIOR EBh or 4QIOR ECh)  
The instruction  
EBh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
EBh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
ECh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
The Quad I/O Read command improves throughput with four I/O signals — IO0-IO3. It is similar to the Quad Output Read command  
but allows input of the address bits four bits per serial SCK clock. In some applications, the reduced instruction overhead might allow  
for code execution (XIP) directly from S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices. The QUAD bit of the Configuration Register must be set  
(CR Bit1=1) to enable the Quad capability of S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for Quad I/O Read is 104 MHz.  
For the Quad I/O Read command, there is a latency required after the mode bits (described below) before data begins shifting out of  
IO0-IO3. This latency period (i.e., dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial  
address. During latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy  
cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK and the latency code table (refer to Table 28 on page 51). There are different ordering  
part numbers that select the latency code table used for this command, either the High Performance LC (HPLC) table or the  
Enhanced High Performance LC (EHPLC) table. The number of dummy cycles is set by the LC bits in the Configuration Register  
(CR1). However, both latency code tables use the same latency values for the Quad I/O Read command.  
Following the latency period, the memory contents at the address given, is shifted out four bits at a time through IO0-IO3. Each  
nibble (4 bits) is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
Address jumps can be done without the need for additional Quad I/O Read instructions. This is controlled through the setting of the  
Mode bits (after the address sequence, as shown in Figure 9.18 on page 92 or Figure 9.20 on page 92). This added feature  
removes the need for the instruction sequence and greatly improves code execution (XIP). The upper nibble (bits 7-4) of the Mode  
bits control the length of the next Quad I/O instruction through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower  
nibble (bits 3-0) of the Mode bits are “don’t care” (“x”). If the Mode bits equal Axh, then the device remains in Quad I/O High  
Performance Read Mode and the next address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low) without requiring the  
EBh or ECh instruction, as shown in Figure 9.19 on page 92 or Figure 9.21 on page 93; thus, eliminating eight cycles for the  
command sequence. The following sequence will release the device from Quad I/O High Performance Read mode; after which, the  
device can accept standard SPI commands:  
During the Quad I/O Read Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are any value other than Axh, then the next time CS# is raised  
high the device will be released from Quad I/O High Performance Read mode.  
During any operation, if CS# toggles high to low to high for eight cycles (or less) and data input (IO0-IO3) are not set for a valid  
instruction sequence, then the device will be released from Quad I/O High Performance Read mode. Note that the two mode bit  
clock cycles and additional wait states (i.e., dummy cycles) allow the device’s internal circuitry latency time to access the initial  
address after the last address cycle that is clocked into IO0-IO3.

It is important that the IO0-IO3 signals be set to high-impedance at or before the falling edge of the first data out clock. At higher  
clock speeds the time available to turn off the host outputs before the memory device begins to drive (bus turn around) is diminished.  
It is allowed and may be helpful in preventing IO0-IO3 signal contention, for the host system to turn off the IO0-IO3 signal outputs  
(make them high impedance) during the last “don’t care” mode cycle or during any dummy cycles.  
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.

9.4.7 DDR Fast Read (DDRFR 0Dh, 4DDRFR 0Eh)  
The instruction  
0Dh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
0Dh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
0Eh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
The DDR Fast Read command improves throughput by transferring address and data on both the falling and rising edge of SCK. It  
is similar to the Fast Read command but allows transfer of address and data on every edge of the clock.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for DDR Fast Read command is 80 MHz.  
For the DDR Fast Read command, there is a latency required after the last address bits are shifted into SI before data begins  
shifting out of SO. There are different ordering part numbers that select the latency code table used for this command, either the  
High Performance LC (HPLC) table or the Enhanced High Performance LC (EHPLC) table. The HPLC table does not provide cycles  
for mode bits so each DDR Fast Read command starts with the 8 bit instruction, followed by address, followed by a latency period.  
This latency period (dummy cycles) allows the device internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During the  
dummy cycles, the data value on SI is “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the  
frequency of SCK (Table 28 on page 51). The number of dummy cycles is set by the LC bits in the Configuration Register (CR1).  
Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out, in DDR fashion, one bit at a time on each clock edge through SO.  
Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the rising and falling edge of the SCK signal.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
The EHPLC table does provide cycles for mode bits so a series of DDR Fast Read commands may eliminate the 8 bit instruction  
after the first DDR Fast Read command sends a mode bit pattern of complementary first and second Nibbles, e.g. A5h, 5Ah, 0Fh,  
etc., that indicates the following command will also be a DDR Fast Read command. The first DDR Fast Read command in a series  
starts with the 8-bit instruction, followed by address, followed by four cycles of mode bits, followed by a latency period. If the mode  
bit pattern is complementary the next command is assumed to be an additional DDR Fast Read command that does not provide  
instruction bits. That command starts with address, followed by mode bits, followed by latency.  
Document Number: 001-98283 Rev. *N  
Page 93 of 148  
S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
When the EHPLC table is used, address jumps can be done without the need for additional DDR Fast Read instructions. This is  
controlled through the setting of the Mode bits (after the address sequence, as shown in Figure 9.22 on page 94 and Figure 9.24  
on page 95. This added feature removes the need for the eight bit SDR instruction sequence to reduce initial access time (improves  
XIP performance). The Mode bits control the length of the next DDR Fast Read operation through the inclusion or exclusion of the  
first byte instruction code. If the upper nibble (IO[7:4]) and lower nibble (IO[3:0]) of the Mode bits are complementary (i.e. 5h and Ah)  
then the next address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low) without requiring the 0Dh or 0Eh instruction,  
as shown in Figure 9.23 and Figure 9.25, thus, eliminating eight cycles from the command sequence. The following sequences will  
release the device from this continuous DDR Fast Read mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:  
1. During the DDR Fast Read Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are not complementary the next time CS# is raised high  
the device will be released from the continuous DDR Fast Read mode.  
2. During any operation, if CS# toggles high to low to high for eight cycles (or less) and data input (SI) are not set for a valid  
instruction sequence, then the device will be released from DDR Fast Read mode.  
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.  
The HOLD function is not valid during any part of a Fast DDR Command.  
Although the data learning pattern (DLP) is programmable, the following example shows example of the DLP of 34h. The DLP 34h  
(or 00110100) will be driven on each of the active outputs (i.e. all four IOs on a x4 device, both IOs on a x2 device and the single SO  
output on a x1 device). This pattern was chosen to cover both DC and AC data transition scenarios. The two DC transition scenarios  
include data low for a long period of time (two half clocks) followed by a high going transition (001) and the complementary low going  
transition (110). The two AC transition scenarios include data low for a short period of time (one half clock) followed by a high going  
transition (101) and the complementary low going transition (010). The DC transitions will typically occur with a starting point closer  
to the supply rail than the AC transitions that may not have fully settled to their steady state (DC) levels. In many cases the DC  
transitions will bound the beginning of the data valid period and the AC transitions will bound the ending of the data valid period.  
These transitions will allow the host controller to identify the beginning and ending of the valid data eye. Once the data eye has been  
characterized the optimal data capture point can be chosen. See Section 7.5.12 SPI DDR Data Learning Registers on page 56 for  
more details.

9.4.8 DDR Dual I/O Read (BDh, BEh)  
The instruction  
BDh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
BDh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
BEh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out, in a DDR fashion, two bits at a time on each clock edge through IO0  
(SI) and IO1 (SO). Two bits are shifted out at the SCK frequency by the rising and falling edge of the SCK signal.  
The DDR Dual I/O Read command improves throughput with two I/O signals — IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO). It is similar to the Dual I/O  
Read command but transfers two address, mode, or data bits on every edge of the clock. In some applications, the reduced  
instruction overhead might allow for code execution (XIP) directly from S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for DDR Dual I/O Read command is 80 MHz.  
For DDR Dual I/O Read commands, there is a latency required after the last address bits are shifted into IO0 and IO1, before data  
begins shifting out of IO0 and IO1. There are different ordering part numbers that select the latency code table used for this  
command, either the High Performance LC (HPLC) table or the Enhanced High Performance LC (EHPLC) table. The number of  
latency (dummy) clocks is determined by the frequency of SCK (refer to Table 27 on page 51 or Table 29 on page 51). The number  
of dummy cycles is set by the LC bits in the Configuration Register (CR1).  
The HPLC table does not provide cycles for mode bits so each Dual I/O command starts with the 8 bit instruction, followed by  
address, followed by a latency period. This latency period allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access the initial  
address. During these latency cycles, the data value on SI (IO0) and SO (IO1) are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. When  
the Data Learning Pattern (DLP) is enabled the host system must not drive the IO signals during the dummy cycles. The IO signals  
must be left high impedance by the host so that the memory device can drive the DLP during the dummy cycles.  
The EHPLC table does provide cycles for mode bits so a series of Dual I/O DDR commands may eliminate the 8 bit instruction after  
the first command sends a complementary mode bit pattern, as shown in Figure 9.27 and Figure 9.29 on page 97. This added  
feature removes the need for the eight bit SDR instruction sequence and dramatically reduces initial access times (improves XIP  
performance). The Mode bits control the length of the next DDR Dual I/O Read operation through the inclusion or exclusion of the  
first byte instruction code. If the upper nibble (IO[7:4]) and lower nibble (IO[3:0]) of the Mode bits are complementary (i.e. 5h and Ah)  
the device transitions to Continuous DDR Dual I/O Read Mode and the next address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and  
then asserted low) without requiring the BDh or BEh instruction, as shown in Figure 9.28 on page 97, and thus, eliminating eight  
cycles from the command sequence. The following sequences will release the device from Continuous DDR Dual I/O Read mode;  
after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:  
1. During the DDR Dual I/O Read Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are not complementary the next time CS# is raised  
high and then asserted low the device will be released from DDR Dual I/O Read mode.  
2. During any operation, if CS# toggles high to low to high for eight cycles (or less) and data input (IO0 and IO1) are not set  
for a valid instruction sequence, then the device will be released from DDR Dual I/O Read mode.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read  
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back  
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate. The HOLD function is not  
valid during Dual I/O DDR commands.  
Note that the memory devices may drive the IOs with a preamble prior to the first data value. The preamble is a data learning pattern  
(DLP) that is used by the host controller to optimize data capture at higher frequencies. The preamble DLP drives the IO bus for the  
four clock cycles immediately before data is output. The host must be sure to stop driving the IO bus prior to the time that the  
memory starts outputting the preamble.  
The preamble is intended to give the host controller an indication about the round trip time from when the host drives a clock edge to  
when the corresponding data value returns from the memory device. The host controller will skew the data capture point during the  
preamble period to optimize timing margins and then use the same skew time to capture the data during the rest of the read  
operation. The optimized capture point will be determined during the preamble period of every read operation. This optimization  
strategy is intended to compensate for both the PVT (process, voltage, temperature) of both the memory device and the host  
controller as well as any system level delays caused by flight time on the PCB.

S25FL128S/S25FL256S  
Although the data learning pattern (DLP) is programmable, the following example shows example of the DLP of 34h. The DLP 34h  
(or 00110100) will be driven on each of the active outputs (i.e. all four SIOs on a x4 device, both SIOs on a x2 device and the single  
SO output on a x1 device). This pattern was chosen to cover both DC and AC data transition scenarios. The two DC transition  
scenarios include data low for a long period of time (two half clocks) followed by a high going transition (001) and the complementary  
low going transition (110). The two AC transition scenarios include data low for a short period of time (one half clock) followed by a  
high going transition (101) and the complementary low going transition (010). The DC transitions will typically occur with a starting  
point closer to the supply rail than the AC transitions that may not have fully settled to their steady state (DC) levels. In many cases  
the DC transitions will bound the beginning of the data valid period and the AC transitions will bound the ending of the data valid  
period. These transitions will allow the host controller to identify the beginning and ending of the valid data eye. Once the data eye  
has been characterized the optimal data capture point can be chosen. See Section 7.5.12 SPI DDR Data Learning Registers  
on page 56 for more details.

9.4.9 DDR Quad I/O Read (EDh, EEh)  
The Read DDR Quad I/O command improves throughput with four I/O signals - IO0-IO3. It is similar to the Quad I/O Read command  
but allows input of the address four bits on every edge of the clock. In some applications, the reduced instruction overhead might  
allow for code execution (XIP) directly from S25FL128S and S25FL256S devices. The QUAD bit of the Configuration Register must  
be set (CR Bit1=1) to enable the Quad capability.  
The instruction  
EDh (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
EDh (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
EEh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
The address is followed by mode bits. Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out, in a DDR fashion, with four  
bits at a time on each clock edge through IO0-IO3.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for Read DDR Quad I/O command is 80 MHz.  
For Read DDR Quad I/O, there is a latency required after the last address and mode bits are shifted into the IO0-IO3 signals before  
data begins shifting out of IO0-IO3. This latency period (dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access  
the initial address. During these latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. When the  
Data Learning Pattern (DLP) is enabled the host system must not drive the IO signals during the dummy cycles. The IO signals must  
be left high impedance by the host so that the memory device can drive the DLP during the dummy cycles.  
There are different ordering part numbers that select the latency code table used for this command, either the High Performance LC  
(HPLC) table or the Enhanced High Performance LC (EHPLC) table. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency  
of SCK (refer to Table 27 on page 51). The number of dummy cycles is set by the LC bits in the Configuration Register (CR1).  
Both latency tables provide cycles for mode bits so a series of Quad I/O DDR commands may eliminate the 8 bit instruction after the  
first command sends a complementary mode bit pattern, as shown in Figure 9.30 and Figure 9.32. This feature removes the need  
for the eight bit SDR instruction sequence and dramatically reduces initial access times (improves XIP performance). The Mode bits  
control the length of the next Read DDR Quad I/O operation through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. If the  
upper nibble (IO[7:4]) and lower nibble (IO[3:0]) of the Mode bits are complementary (i.e. 5h and Ah) the device transitions to  
Continuous Read DDR Quad I/O Mode and the next address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low)  
without requiring the EDh or EEh instruction, as shown in Figure 9.31 on page 99 and Figure 9.33 on page 100 thus, eliminating  
eight cycles from the command sequence. The following sequences will release the device from Continuous Read DDR Quad I/O  
mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:  
1. During the Read DDR Quad I/O Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are not complementary the next time CS# is raised  
high and then asserted low the device will be released from Read DDR Quad I/O mode.  
2. During any operation, if CS# toggles high to low to high for eight cycles (or less) and data input (IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3)  
are not set for a valid instruction sequence, then the device will be released from Read DDR Quad I/O mode.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address  
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read

Program Flash Array Commands  
9.5.1 Program Granularity  
9.5.1.1 Automatic ECC  
Each 16 byte aligned and 16 byte length Programming Block has an automatic Error Correction Code (ECC) value. The data block  
plus ECC form an ECC unit. In combination with Error Detection and Correction (EDC) logic the ECC is used to detect and correct  
any single bit error found during a read access. When data is first programmed within an ECC unit the ECC value is set for the entire  
ECC unit. If the same ECC unit is programmed more than once the ECC value is changed to disable the Error Detection and  
Correction (EDC) function. A sector erase is needed to again enable Automatic ECC on that Programming Block. The 16 byte  
Program Block is the smallest program granularity on which Automatic ECC is enabled.  
These are automatic operations transparent to the user. The transparency of the Automatic ECC feature enhances data accuracy  
for typical programming operations which write data once to each ECC unit but, facilitates software compatibility to previous  
generations of FL-S family of products by allowing for single byte programming and bit walking in which the same ECC unit is  
programmed more than once. When an ECC unit has Automatic ECC disabled, EDC is not done on data read from the ECC unit  
location.  
An ECC status register is provided for determining if ECC is enabled on an ECC unit and whether any errors have been detected  
and corrected in the ECC unit data or the ECC (See Section 7.5.6 ECC Status Register (ECCSR) on page 54.) The ECC Status  
Register Read (ECCRD) command is used to read the ECC status on any ECC unit.  
EDC is applied to all parts of the Flash address spaces other than registers. An ECC is calculated for each group of bytes protected  
and the ECC is stored in a hidden area related to the group of bytes. The group of protected bytes and the related ECC are together  
called an ECC unit.  
ECC is calculated for each 16 byte aligned and length ECC unit.  
Single Bit EDC is supported with 8 ECC bits per ECC unit, plus 1 bit for an ECC disable Flag.  
Sector erase resets all ECC bits and ECC disable flags in a sector to the default state (enabled).  
ECC is programmed as part of the standard Program commands operation.  
ECC is disabled automatically if multiple programming operations are done on the same ECC unit.  
Single byte programming or bit walking is allowed but disables ECC on the second program to the same 16-byte ECC unit.  
The ECC disable flag is programmed when ECC is disabled.  
To re-enable ECC for an ECC unit that has been disabled, the Sector that includes the ECC unit must be erased.  
To ensure the best data integrity provided by EDC, each ECC unit should be programmed only once so that ECC is stored for that  
unit and not disabled.  
The calculation, programming, and disabling of ECC is done automatically as part of a programming operation. The detection and  
correction, if needed, is done automatically as part of read operations. The host system sees only corrected data from a read  
operation.  
ECC protects the OTP region - however a second program operation on the same ECC unit will disable ECC permanently on that  
ECC unit (OTP is one time programmable, hence an erase operation to re-enable the ECC enable/indicator bit is prohibited).

9.5.1.2 Page Programming  
Page Programming is done by loading a Page Buffer with data to be programmed and issuing a programming command to move  
data from the buffer to the memory array. This sets an upper limit on the amount of data that can be programmed with a single  
programming command. Page Programming allows up to a page size (either 256 or 512 bytes) to be programmed in one operation.  
The page size is determined by the Ordering Part Number (OPN). The page is aligned on the page size address boundary. It is  
possible to program from one bit up to a page size in each Page programming operation. It is recommended that a multiple of 16  
byte length and aligned Program Blocks be written. For the very best performance, programming should be done in full pages of 512  
bytes aligned on 512-byte boundaries with each Page being programmed only once.  
9.5.1.3 Single Byte Programming  
Single Byte Programming allows full backward compatibility to the standard SPI Page Programming (PP) command by allowing a  
single byte to be programmed anywhere in the memory array. While single byte programming is supported, this will disable  
Automatic ECC on the 16 byte ECC unit where the byte is located  
9.5.2 Page Program (PP 02h or 4PP 12h)  
The Page Program (PP) commands allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0). Before the Page  
Program (PP) commands can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the  
device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in  
the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
The instruction  
02h (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
02h (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
12h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
and at least one data byte on SI. Depending on the device OPN, the page size can either be 256 or 512 bytes. Up to a page can be  
provided on SI after the 3-byte address with instruction 02h or 4-byte address with instruction 12h has been provided. If the 9 least  
significant address bits (A8-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 9 least significant bits (A8-A0) are all zero) i.e. the address wraps  
within the page aligned address boundaries. This is a result of only requiring the user to enter one single page address to cover the  
entire page boundary.  
If less than a page of data is sent to the device, these data bytes will be programmed in sequence, starting at the provided address  
within the page, without having any affect on the other bytes of the same page.  
For optimized timings, using the Page Program (PP) command to load the entire page size program buffer within the page boundary  
will save overall programming time versus loading less than a page size into the program buffer.  
The programming process is managed by the flash memory device internal control logic. After a programming command is issued,  
the programming operation status can be checked using the Read Status Register-1 command. The WIP bit (SR1[0]) will indicate  
when the programming operation is completed. The P_ERR bit (SR1[6]) will indicate if an error occurs in the programming operation  
that prevents successful completion of programming.

9.5.3 Quad Page Program (QPP 32h or 38h, or 4QPP 34h)  
The Quad-input Page Program (QPP) command allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0). The  
Quad-input Page Program (QPP) command allows up to a page size (either 256 or 512 bytes) of data to be loaded into the Page  
Buffer using four signals: IO0-IO3. QPP can improve performance for PROM Programmer and applications that have slower clock  
speeds (< 12 MHz) by loading 4 bits of data per clock cycle. Systems with faster clock speeds do not realize as much benefit for the  
QPP command since the inherent page program time becomes greater than the time it takes to clock-in the data. The maximum  
frequency for the QPP command is 80 MHz.  
To use Quad Page Program the Quad Enable Bit in the Configuration Register must be set (QUAD=1). A Write Enable command  
must be executed before the device will accept the QPP command (Status  
Register 1, WEL=1).  
The instruction  
32h (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
32h (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
38h (ExtAdd=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
38h (ExtAdd=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
34h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
and at least one data byte, into the IO signals. Data must be programmed at previously erased (FFh) memory locations.  
The programming page is aligned on the page size address boundary. It is possible to program from one bit up to a page size in  
each Page programming operation. It is recommended that a multiple of 16 byte length and aligned Program Blocks be written. This  
insures that Automatic ECC is not disabled.  
All other functions of QPP are identical to Page Program. The QPP command sequence is shown in Figure 66.

9.5.4 Program Suspend (PGSP 85h) and Resume (PGRS 8Ah)  
The Program Suspend command allows the system to interrupt a programming operation and then read from any other non-erase-  
suspended sector or non-program-suspended-page. Program Suspend is valid only during a programming operation.  
Commands allowed after the Program Suspend command is issued:  
Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1 05h)  
Read Status Register 2 (RDSR2 07h)  
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit in Status Register 1 (SR1[0]) must be checked to know when the programming operation has  
stopped. The Program Suspend Status bit in the Status Register-2 (SR2[0]) can be used to determine if a programming operation  
has been suspended or was completed at the time WIP changes to 0. The time required for the suspend operation to complete is  
tPSL, see Table 51 on page 120.  
See Table 49 on page 110 for the commands allowed while programming is suspend.  
The Program Resume command 8Ah must be written to resume the programming operation after a Program Suspend. If the  
programming operation was completed during the suspend operation, a resume command is not needed and has no effect if issued.  
Program Resume commands will be ignored unless a Program operation is suspended.  
After a Program Resume command is issued, the WIP bit in the Status Register-1 will be set to a 1 and the programming operation  
will resume. Program operations may be interrupted as often as necessary e.g. a program suspend command could immediately  
follow a program resume command but, in order for a program operation to progress to completion there must be some periods of  
time between resume and the next suspend command greater than or equal to tPRS. See Table 51 on page 120.

Erase Flash Array Commands  
9.6.1 Parameter 4-kB Sector Erase (P4E 20h or 4P4E 21h)  
The P4E command is implemented only in FL128S and FL256S. The P4E command is ignored when the device is configured with  
the 256-kB sector option.  
The Parameter 4-kB Sector Erase (P4E) command sets all the bits of a 4-kbyte parameter sector to 1 (all bytes are FFh). Before the  
P4E command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which  
sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
The instruction  
20h [ExtAdd=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or  
20h [ExtAdd=1] is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0), or  
21h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the twenty-fourth or thirty-second bit of the address has been latched in on SI. This  
will initiate the beginning of internal erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of the chosen sector of the flash  
memory array. If CS# is not driven high after the last bit of address, the sector erase operation will not be executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven high, the internal erase cycle will be initiated. With the internal erase cycle in progress, the user can read  
the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to determine when the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate a 1.  
when the erase cycle is in progress and a 0 when the erase cycle has been completed.  
A P4E command applied to a sector that has been write protected through the Block Protection bits or ASP, will not be executed and  
will set the E_ERR status. A P4E command applied to a sector that is larger than  
4 kbytes will not be executed and will not set the E_ERR status.

9.6.2 Sector Erase (SE D8h or 4SE DCh)  
The Sector Erase (SE) command sets all bits in the addressed sector to 1 (all bytes are FFh). Before the Sector Erase (SE)  
command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets  
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
The instruction  
D8h [ExtAdd=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or  
D8h [ExtAdd=1] is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0), or  
DCh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the twenty-fourth or thirty-second bit of address has been latched in on SI. This will  
initiate the erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of the chosen sector. If CS# is not driven high after the last  
bit of address, the sector erase operation will not be executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven into the logic high state, the internal erase cycle will be initiated. With the internal erase cycle in progress,  
the user can read the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to check if the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate  
a 1 when the erase cycle is in progress and a0 when the erase cycle has been completed.  
A Sector Erase (SE) command applied to a sector that has been Write Protected through the Block Protection bits or ASP, will not  
be executed and will set the E_ERR status.  
A device ordering option determines whether the SE command erases 64 kbytes or 256 kbytes. The option to use this command to  
always erase 256 kbytes provides for software compatibility with higher density and future S25FL family devices.  
ASP has a PPB and a DYB protection bit for each sector, including any 4-kB sectors. If a sector erase command is applied to a 64-  
kB range that includes a protected 4-kB sector, or to a 256-kB range that includes a 64-kB protected address range, the erase will  
not be executed on the range and will set the E_ERR status.

9.6.3 Bulk Erase (BE 60h or C7h)  
The Bulk Erase (BE) command sets all bits to 1 (all bytes are FFh) inside the entire flash memory array. Before the BE command  
can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write  
Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI. This will initiate the  
erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of the entire flash memory array. If CS# is not driven high after the last  
bit of instruction, the BE operation will not be executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven into the logic high state, the erase cycle will be initiated. With the erase cycle in progress, the user can  
read the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to determine when the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate a 1  
when the erase cycle is in progress and a 0 when the erase cycle has been completed.  
A BE command can be executed only when the Block Protection (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are set to 0’s. If the BP bits are not zero, the  
BE command is not executed and E_ERR is not set. The BE command will skip any sectors protected by the DYB or PPB and the  
E_ERR status will not be set.

9.6.4 Erase Suspend and Resume Commands (ERSP 75h or ERRS 7Ah)  
The Erase Suspend command, allows the system to interrupt a sector erase operation and then read from or program data to, any  
other sector. Erase Suspend is valid only during a sector erase operation. The Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during  
the Bulk Erase operation.  
When the Erase Suspend command is written during the sector erase operation, the device requires a maximum of tESL (erase  
suspend latency) to suspend the erase operation and update the status bits. See Table 52 on page 120.  
Commands allowed after the Erase Suspend command is issued:  
Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1 05h)  
Read Status Register 2 (RDSR2 07h)  
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit in Status Register 1 (SR1[0]) must be checked to know when the erase operation has stopped. The  
Erase Suspend bit in Status Register-2 (SR2[1]) can be used to determine if an erase operation has been suspended or was  
completed at the time WIP changes to 0.  
If the erase operation was completed during the suspend operation, a resume command is not needed and has no effect if issued.  
Erase Resume commands will be ignored unless an Erase operation is suspended.  
See Table 49 on page 110 for the commands allowed while erase is suspend.  
After the erase operation has been suspended, the sector enters the erase-suspend mode. The system can read data from or  
program data to the device. Reading at any address within an erase-suspended sector produces undetermined data.  
A WREN command is required before any command that will change non-volatile data, even during erase suspend.  
The WRR and PPB Erase commands are not allowed during Erase Suspend, it is therefore not possible to alter the Block Protection  
or PPB bits during Erase Suspend. If there are sectors that may need programming during Erase suspend, these sectors should be  
protected only by DYB bits that can be turned off during Erase Suspend. However, WRR is allowed immediately following the BRAC  
command; in this special case the WRR is interpreted as a write to the Bank Address Register, not a write to SR1 or CR1.  
If a program command is sent for a location within an erase suspended sector the program operation will fail with the P_ERR bit set.  
After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the device returns to the erase-suspend mode. The system can  
determine the status of the program operation by reading the WIP bit in the Status Register, just as in the standard program  
operation.  
The Erase Resume command 7Ah must be written to resume the erase operation if an Erase is suspend. Erase Resume commands  
will be ignored unless an Erase is Suspend.  
After an Erase Resume command is sent, the WIP bit in the status register will be set to a 1 and the erase operation will continue.  
Further Resume commands are ignored.  
Erase operations may be interrupted as often as necessary e.g. an erase suspend command could immediately follow an erase  
resume command but, in order for an erase operation to progress to completion there must be some periods of time between  
resume and the next suspend command greater than or equal to tERS. See Table 52 on page 120.

One Time Program Array Commands  
9.7.1 OTP Program (OTPP 42h)  
The OTP Program command programs data in the One Time Program region, which is in a different address space from the main  
array data. The OTP region is 1024 bytes so, the address bits from A23 to A10 must be zero for this command. Refer to Section 7.4  
OTP Address Space on page 46 for details on the OTP region. The protocol of the OTP Program command is the same as the Page  
Program command. Before the OTP Program command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be  
issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
To program the OTP array in bit granularity, the rest of the bits within a data byte can be set to 1.  
Each region in the OTP memory space can be programmed one or more times, provided that the region is not locked. Attempting to  
program zeros in a region that is locked will fail with the P_ERR bit in SR1 set to 1 Programming ones, even in a protected area does  
not cause an error and does not set P_ERR. Subsequent OTP programming can be performed only on the un-programmed bits (that  
is, 1 data).

9.7.2 OTP Read (OTPR 4Bh)  
The OTP Read command reads data from the OTP region. The OTP region is 1024 bytes so, the address bits from A23 to A10 must  
be zero for this command. Refer to Section 7.4 OTP Address Space on page 46 for details on the OTP region. The protocol of the  
OTP Read command is similar to the Fast Read command except that it will not wrap to the starting address after the OTP address  
is at its maximum; instead, the data beyond the maximum OTP address will be undefined. Also, the OTP Read command is not  
affected by the latency code. The OTP read command always has one dummy byte of latency as shown below.

The ASP Read instruction 2Bh is shifted into SI by the rising edge of the SCK signal. Then the 16-bit ASP register contents is shifted  
out on the serial output SO, least significant byte first. Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK  
signal. It is possible to read the ASP register continuously by providing multiples of 16 clock cycles. The maximum operating clock  
frequency for the ASP Read (ASPRD) command is 133 MHz.

9.8.2 ASP Program (ASPP 2Fh)  
Before the ASP Program (ASPP) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued. After  
the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to  
enable any write operations.  
The ASPP command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction and two data bytes on SI, least  
significant byte first. The ASP Register is two data bytes in length.  
The ASPP command affects the P_ERR and WIP bits of the Status and Configuration Registers in the same manner as any other  
programming operation.  
CS# input must be driven to the logic high state after the sixteenth bit of data has been latched in. If not, the ASPP command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed ASPP operation is initiated. While the ASPP operation 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 a  
1 during the self-timed ASPP operation, and is a 0 when it is completed. When the ASPP operation is completed, the Write Enable  
Latch (WEL) is set to a 0.

The instruction E0h is latched into SI by the rising edge of the SCK signal. Followed by the 32-bit address selecting location zero  
within the desired sector (note, the high order address bits not used by a particular density device must be zero). Then the 8-bit DYB  
access register contents are shifted out on the serial output SO. Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of  
the SCK signal. It is possible to read the same DYB access register continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The  
address of the DYB register does not increment so this is not a means to read the entire DYB array. Each location must be read with  
a separate DYB Read command. The maximum operating clock frequency for READ command is 133 MHz.

9.8.4 DYB Write (DYBWR E1h)  
Before the DYB Write (DYBWR) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued. After  
the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to  
enable any write operations.  
The DYBWR command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction, the 32-bit address selecting  
location zero within the desired sector (note, the high order address bits not used by a particular density device must be zero), then  
the data byte on SI. The DYB Access Register is one data byte in length.  
The DYBWR command affects the P_ERR and WIP bits of the Status and Configuration Registers in the same manner as any other  
programming operation. CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of data has been latched in. If not, the DYBWR  
command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed DYBWR operation is initiated. While the  
DYBWR operation 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 a 1 during the self-timed DYBWR operation, and is a 0 when it is completed. When the DYBWR operation is  
completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a 0.

The instruction E2h is shifted into SI by the rising edges of the SCK signal, followed by the 32-bit address selecting location zero  
within the desired sector (note, the high order address bits not used by a particular density device must be zero) Then the 8-bit PPB  
access register contents are shifted out on SO.  
It is possible to read the same PPB access register continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The address of the PPB  
register does not increment so this is not a means to read the entire PPB array. Each location must be read with a separate PPB  
Read command. The maximum operating clock frequency for the PPB Read command is 133 MHz.

9.8.6 PPB Program (PPBP E3h)  
Before the PPB Program (PPBP) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued. After  
the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to  
enable any write operations.  
The PPBP command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction, followed by the 32-bit address  
selecting location zero within the desired sector (note, the high order address bits not used by a particular density device must be  
zero).  
The PPBP command affects the P_ERR and WIP bits of the Status and Configuration Registers in the same manner as any other  
programming operation.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the last bit of address has been latched in. If not, the PPBP command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PPBP operation is initiated. While the PPBP operation 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 a  
1 during the self-timed PPBP operation, and is a 0 when it is completed. When the PPBP operation is completed, the Write Enable  
Latch (WEL) is set to a 0.

9.8.7 PPB Erase (PPBE E4h)  
The PPB Erase (PPBE) command sets all PPB bits to 1. Before the PPB Erase command can be accepted by the device, a Write  
Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status  
Register to enable any write operations.  
The instruction E4h is shifted into SI by the rising edges of the SCK signal.  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI. This will initiate the  
beginning of internal erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of the entire PPB memory array. Without CS#  
being driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction, the PPB erase operation will not be executed.  
With the internal erase cycle in progress, the user can read the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to check if the operation has  
been completed. The WIP bit will indicate a 1 when the erase cycle is in progress and a 0 when the erase cycle has been completed.  
Erase suspend is not allowed during PPB Erase.

9.8.8 PPB Lock Bit Read (PLBRD A7h)  
The PPB Lock Bit Read (PLBRD) command allows the PPB Lock Register contents to be read out of SO. It is possible to read the  
PPB lock register continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The PPB Lock Register contents may only be read when  
the device is in standby state with no other operation in progress. It is recommended to check the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit of the  
Status Register before issuing a new command to the device.

9.8.9 PPB Lock Bit Write (PLBWR A6h)  
The PPB Lock Bit Write (PLBWR) command clears the PPB Lock Register to zero. Before the PLBWR command can be accepted  
by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch  
(WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.  
The PLBWR command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of instruction has been latched in. If not, the PLBWR command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PLBWR operation is initiated. While the PLBWR operation  
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 a 1 during the self-timed PLBWR operation, and is a 0 when it is completed. When the PLBWR operation is completed,  
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a 0. The maximum clock frequency for the PLBWR command is 133 MHz.

9.8.10 Password Read (PASSRD E7h)  
The correct password value may be read only after it is programmed and before the Password Mode has been selected by  
programming the Password Protection Mode bit to 0 in the ASP Register (ASP[2]). After the Password Protection Mode is selected  
the PASSRD command is ignored.  
The PASSRD command is shifted into SI. Then the 64-bit Password is shifted out on the serial output SO, least significant byte first,  
most significant bit of each byte first. Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible  
to read the Password continuously by providing multiples of 64 clock cycles. The maximum operating clock frequency for the  
PASSRD command is 133 MHz.

9.8.11 Password Program (PASSP E8h)  
Before the Password Program (PASSP) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be  
issued and decoded by the device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable  
Latch (WEL) to enable the PASSP operation.  
The password can only be programmed before the Password Mode is selected by programming the Password Protection Mode bit  
to 0 in the ASP Register (ASP[2]). After the Password Protection Mode is selected the PASSP command is ignored.  
The PASSP command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction and the password data bytes on  
SI, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The password is sixty-four (64) bits in length.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the sixty-fourth (64th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the PASSP command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PASSP operation is initiated. While the PASSP operation  
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 a 1 during the self-timed PASSP cycle, and is a 0 when it is completed. The PASSP command can report a program error in the  
P_ERR bit of the status register. When the PASSP operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a 0. The  
maximum clock frequency for the PASSP command is 133 MHz.

9.8.12 Password Unlock (PASSU E9h)  
The PASSU command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction and the password data bytes on  
SI, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The password is sixty-four (64) bits in length.  
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the sixty-fourth (64th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the PASSU command is not  
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PASSU operation is initiated. While the PASSU operation  
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 a 1 during the self-timed PASSU cycle, and is a 0 when it is completed.  
If the PASSU command supplied password does not match the hidden password in the Password Register, an error is reported by  
setting the P_ERR bit to 1. The WIP bit of the status register also remains set to 1. It is necessary to use the CLSR command to  
clear the status register, the RESET command to software reset the device, or drive the RESET# input low to initiate a hardware  
reset, in order to return the P_ERR and WIP bits to 0. This returns the device to standby state, ready for new commands such as a  
retry of the PASSU command.  
If the password does match, the PPB Lock bit is set to 1. The maximum clock frequency for the PASSU command is 133 MHz.

Reset Commands  
9.9.1 Software Reset Command (RESET F0h)  
The Software Reset command (RESET) restores the device to its initial power up state, except for the volatile FREEZE bit in the  
Configuration register CR1[1] and the volatile PPB Lock bit in the PPB Lock Register. The Freeze bit and the PPB Lock bit will  
remain set at their last value prior to the software reset. To clear the FREEZE bit and set the PPB Lock bit to its protection mode  
selected power on state, a full power-on-reset sequence or hardware reset must be done. Note that the non-volatile bits in the  
configuration register, TBPROT, TBPARM, and BPNV, retain their previous state after a Software Reset. The Block Protection bits  
BP2, BP1, and BP0, in the status register will only be reset if they are configured as volatile via the BPNV bit in the Configuration  
Register (CR1[3]) and FREEZE is cleared to zero . The software reset cannot be used to circumvent the FREEZE or PPB Lock bit  
protection mechanisms for the other security configuration bits. The reset command is executed when CS# is brought to high state  
and requires tRPH time to execute.

9.9.2 Mode Bit Reset (MBR FFh)  
The Mode Bit Reset (MBR) command can be used to return the device from continuous high performance read mode back to normal  
standby awaiting any new command. Because some device packages lack a hardware RESET# input and a device that is in a  
continuous high performance read mode may not recognize any normal SPI command, a system hardware reset or software reset  
command may not be recognized by the device. It is recommended to use the MBR command after a system reset when the  
RESET# signal is not available or, before sending a software reset, to ensure the device is released from continuous high  
performance read mode.  
The MBR command sends Ones on SI or IO0 for 8 SCK cycles. IO1 to IO3 are “don’t care” during these cycles.

Note:  
1. FL-S 128 Mbit and 256-Mbit devices have either a hybrid sector architecture with thirty two 4-kB sectors and all remaining sectors of 64-kB or with uniform 256-kB  
sectors. Devices with the hybrid sector architecture are initially shipped from Cypress with the 4 kB sectors located at the bottom of the array address map. However,  
the device configuration TBPARM bit CR1[2] may be programed to invert the sector map to place the 4-kB sectors at the top of the array address map. The CFI  
geometry information of the above table is relevant only to the initial delivery state of a hybrid sector device. The flash device driver software must examine the  
TBPARM bit to determine if the sector map was inverted at a later time.

The Alternate Vendor-Specific Extended Query provides information related to the expanded command set provided by the FL-S  
family. The alternate query parameters use a format in which each parameter begins with an identifier byte and a parameter length  
byte. Driver software can check each parameter ID and can use the length value to skip to the next parameter if the parameter is not  
needed or not recognized by the software.

11.5 Initial Delivery State  
The device is shipped from Cypress with non-volatile bits set as follows:  
The entire memory array is erased: i.e. all bits are set to 1 (each byte contains FFh).  
The OTP address space has the first 16 bytes programmed to a random number. All other bytes are erased to FFh.  
The ID-CFI address space contains the values as defined in the description of the ID-CFI address space.  
The Status Register 1 contains 00h (all SR1 bits are cleared to 0’s).  
The Configuration Register 1 contains 00h.  
The Autoboot register contains 00h.  
The Password Register contains FFFFFFFF-FFFFFFFFh.  
All PPB bits are 1.  
The ASP Register contents depend on the ordering options selected:
