4. DEVICE OPERATION  
SPI Mode  
Standard SPI  
The GD25VE40C features a serial peripheral interface on 4 signals bus: Serial Clock (SCLK), Chip Select (CS#),  
Serial Data Input (SI) and Serial Data Output (SO). Both SPI bus mode 0 and 3 are supported. Input data is latched on the  
rising edge of SCLK and data shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK.  
Dual SPI  
The GD25VE40C supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Dual Output Fast Read” and “Dual I/O Fast Read” (3BH  
and BBH) commands. These commands allow data to be transferred to or from the device at twice the rate of the standard  
SPI. When using the Dual SPI command the SI and SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.  
Quad SPI  
The GD25VE40C supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Quad Output Fast Read” (6BH), ”Quad I/O Fast  
Read(EBH), “Quad I/O Word Fast Read(E7H) and “Quad Page Program” (32H) commands. These commands allow data  
to be transferred to or from the device at four times the rate of the standard SPI. When using the Quad SPI command the  
SI and SO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1, and WP# and HOLD# pins become IO2 and IO3. Quad SPI  
commands require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register to be set.  
Hold  
The HOLD# function is only available when QE=0, If QE=1, The HOLD# functions is disabled, the pin acts as dedicated  
data I/O pin.  
The HOLD# signal goes low to stop any serial communications with the device, but doesn’t stop the operation of write  
status register, programming, or erasing in progress.  
The operation of HOLD, need CS# keep low, and starts on falling edge of the HOLD# signal, with SCLK signal being  
low (if SCLK is not being low, HOLD operation will not start until SCLK being low). The HOLD condition ends on rising edge  
of HOLD# signal with SCLK being low (If SCLK is not being low, HOLD operation will not end until SCLK being low).  
The SO is high impedance, both SI and SCLK don’t care during the HOLD operation, if CS# drives high during HOLD  
operation, it will reset the internal logic of the device. To re-start communication with chip, the HOLD# must be at high and  
then CS# must be at low.

5. DATA PROTECTION  
The GD25VE40C provide the following data protection methods:  
Write Enable (WREN) command: The WREN command is set the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL). The WEL bit will  
return to reset by the following situation:  
-Power-Up  
-Write Disable (WRDI)  
-Write Status Register (WRSR)  
-Page Program (PP)  
-Sector Erase (SE) / Block Erase (BE) / Chip Erase (CE)  
-Software reset (66H+99H)  
Software Protection Mode: The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits define the section of the memory  
array that can be read but not change.  
Hardware Protection Mode: WP# goes low to protect the BP0~BP4 bits and SRP0~1 bits.  
Deep Power-Down Mode: In Deep Power-Down Mode, all commands are ignored except the Release from Deep  
Power-Down Mode command and reset command (66H+99H).

WIP  
The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows:  
WIP bit.  
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy in program/erase/write status register progress.  
When WIP bit sets to 1, means the device is busy in program/erase/write status register progress, when WIP bit sets 0,  
means the device is not in program/erase/write status register progress.  
WEL bit.  
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1 the internal  
Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is reset and no Write Status Register, Program or  
Erase command is accepted.  
BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits.  
The Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software  
protected against Program and Erase commands. These bits are written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) command.  
When the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in  
Table1).becomes protected against Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE) and Block Erase (BE) commands. The Block  
Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set.  
The Chip Erase (CE) command is executed, if the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 0 and CMP=0 or the Block  
Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 1 and CMP=1.  
SRP1, SRP0 bits.  
The Status Register Protect (SRP1 and SRP0) bits are non-volatile Read/Write bits in the status register. The SRP  
bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware protection, power supply lock-down or one time  
programmable protection.

QE bit.  
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bit in the Status Register that allows Quad operation. When  
11  
Uniform Sector  
Dual and Quad Serial Flash  
GD25VE40C  
the QE bit is set to 0 (Default) the WP# pin and HOLD# pin are enable. When the QE pin is set to 1, the Quad IO2 and IO3  
pins are enabled. (The QE bit should never be set to 1 during standard SPI or Dual SPI operation if the WP# or HOLD#  
pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground)  
LB bit.  
The LB bit is a non-volatile One Time Program (OTP) bit in Status Register (S10) that provide the write protect control  
and status to the Security Registers. The default state of LB is 0, the security registers are unlocked. LB can be set to 1  
individually using the Write Register instruction. LB is One Time Programmable, once it’s set to 1, the Security Registers  
will become read-only permanently.  
CMP bit  
The CMP bit is a non-volatile Read/Write bits in the Status Register (S14). It is used in conjunction the BP4-BP0 bits  
to provide more flexibility for the array protection. Please see the Status registers Memory Protection table for details. The  
default setting is CMP=0.  
HPF bit  
The High Performance Flag (HPF) bit is read only bit, that indicates the status of High Performance Mode (HPM). When  
HPF bit is set to 1, it means the device is in High Performance Mode, When HPF bit is set to 0 (default), it means the device  
is not in High Performance Mode.  
SUS bit  
The SUS bit is a read only bit in the status register (S15) that is set to 1 after executing an Erase/Program Suspend  
(75H) command. The SUS bit is cleared to 0 by Erase/Program Resume (7AH) command, software reset (66H+99H)  
command as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.

7. COMMANDS DESCRIPTION  
All commands, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, beginning with the most significant bit on the  
first rising edge of SCLK after CS# is driven low. Then, the one-byte command code must be shifted in to the device, with  
most significant bit first on SI, and each bit is latched on the rising edges of SCLK.  
See Table2, every command sequence starts with a one-byte command code. Depending on the command, this might  
be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none. CS# must be driven high after the last bit of the command  
sequence has been completed. For the commands of Read, Fast Read, Read Status Register or Release from Deep Power-  
Down, and Read Device ID, the shifted-in command sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. CS# can be driven high  
after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out.  
For the commands of Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register, Write Enable,  
Write Disable or Deep Power-Down command, CS# must be driven high exactly at a byte boundary, otherwise the command  
is rejected, and is not executed. That means CS# must be driven high when the number of clock pulses after CS# being  
driven low is an exact multiple of eight. For Page Program, if CS# is driven high at any time the input byte is not a full byte,  
nothing will happen and WEL will not be reset.

7.1. Write Enable (WREN) (06H)  
The Write Enable (WREN) command is for setting the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL)  
bit must be set prior to every Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Block Erase (BE), Chip Erase (CE), Write Status  
Register (WRSR) and Erase/Program Security Registers command. The Write Enable (WREN) command sequence: CS#  
goes low sending the Write Enable command CS# goes high.

up and upon completion of the Write Status Register, Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase,  
Erase/Program Security Registers and Reset commands.

7.3. Read Status Register (RDSR) (05H or 35H)  
The Read Status Register (RDSR) command is for reading the Status Register. The Status Register may be read at  
any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress,  
it is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new command to the device. It is also possible  
to read the Status Register continuously. For command code “05H”, the SO will output Status Register bits S7~S0. The  
command code “35H”, the SO will output Status Register bits S15~S8.

7.4. Write Status Register (WRSR) (01H)  
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows new values to be written to the Status Register. Before it can be  
accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN)  
command has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).  
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command has no effect on S15, S1 and S0 of the Status Register. CS# must be  
driven high after the eighth or sixteen bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the Write Status Register (WRSR)  
command is not executed. If CS# is driven high after eighth bit of the data byte, the CMP and QE bit will be cleared to 0. As  
soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Write  
Status Register cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP)  
bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed.  
When the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset.  
The Write Status Register (WRSR) command allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP4, BP3,  
BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in Table1. The Write Status  
Register (WRSR) command also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register Protect (SRP) bit in accordance with  
the Write Protect (WP#) signal. The Status Register Protect (SRP) bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow the device to  
be put in the Hardware Protected Mode. The Write Status Register (WRSR) command is not executed once the Hardware  
Protected Mode is entered.

7.5. Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50H)  
The non-volatile Status Register bits can also be written to as volatile bits. This gives more flexibility to change the  
system configuration and memory protection schemes quickly without waiting for the typical non-volatile bit write cycles or  
affecting the endurance of the Status Register non-volatile bits. The Write Enable for Volatile Status Register command  
must be issued prior to a Write Status Register command, and any other commands can't be inserted between them.  
Otherwise, Write Enable for Volatile Status Register will be cleared. The Write Enable for Volatile Status Register command  
will not set the Write Enable Latch bit, it is only valid for the Write Status Register command to change the volatile Status

7.6. Read Data Bytes (READ) (03H)  
The Read Data Bytes (READ) command is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), and each bit is latched-in on the  
rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that address, is shifted out on SO, and each bit is shifted out, at a Max  
frequency fR, on the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically  
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read  
with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) command. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) command, while an Erase, Program or  
Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress.

that address, is shifted out on SO, each bit being shifted out, at a Max frequency fC, on the falling edge of SCLK. The first  
byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte  
of data is shifted out.

7.10. Dual I/O Fast Read (BBH)  
The Dual I/O Fast Read command is similar to the Dual Output Fast Read command but with the capability to input  
the 3-byte address (A23-0) and a “Continuous Read Mode” byte 2-bit per clock by SI and SO, and each bit is latched in on  
the rising edge of SCLK, then the memory contents are shifted out 2-bit per clock cycle from SI and SO. The command  
sequence is shown in followed Figure11. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically  
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out.  
Dual I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Dual I/O Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous Read Mode”  
bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) =AXH, then the next Dual  
I/O Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not require the BBH command code. The command  
sequence is shown in followed Figure11. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) are any value other than AXH, the next  
command requires the command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset command  
can be used to reset (M7-0) before issuing normal command.

7.11. Quad I/O Fast Read (EBH)  
The Quad I/O Fast Read command is similar to the Dual I/O Fast Read command but with the capability to input the  
3-byte address (A23-0) and a “Continuous Read Mode” byte and 4-dummy clock 4-bit per clock by IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3, and  
each bit is latched in on the rising edge of SCLK, then the memory contents are shifted out 4-bit per clock cycle from IO0,  
IO1, IO2, IO3. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure13. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The  
address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The Quad Enable bit  
(QE) of Status Register (S9) must be set to enable for the Quad I/O Fast read command.  
Quad I/O Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Quad I/O Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous Read  
Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) =AXH, then the next  
Quad I/O Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not require the EBH command code. The  
command sequence is shown in followed Figure13. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) are any value other than  
AXH, the next command requires the command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset  
command can be used to reset (M7-0) before issuing normal command.

Quad I/O Fast Read with 8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Aroundin Standard SPI mode  
The Quad I/O Fast Read command can be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing Set Burst with  
Wrap(77H) commands prior to EBH. The Set Burst with Wrap(77H) command can either enable or disable the Wrap  
Aroundfeature for the following EBH commands. When Wrap Aroundis enabled, the data being accessed can be limited  
to either an 8/16/32/64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data starts at the initial address specified in the command,  
once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will wrap around the beginning boundary  
automatically until CS# is pulled high to terminate the command.  
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address and then fill the cache  
afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing multiple read commands. The Set Burst with Wrap”  
command allows three Wrap BitsW6-W4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to enable or disable the Wrap Aroundoperation  
while W6-W5 is used to specify the length of the wrap around section within a page.  
7.12. Quad I/O Word Fast Read (E7H)  
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command is similar to the Quad I/O Fast Read command except that the lowest  
address bit (A0) must be equal 0 and there are only 2-dummy clocks. The command sequence is shown in followed Figure15.  
The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after  
each byte of data is shifted out. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register (S9) must be set to enable for the Quad I/O  
Word Fast read command.  
Quad I/O Word Fast Read with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command can further reduce command overhead through setting the “Continuous  
Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input 3-byte address (A23-A0). If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) =AXH, then the  
next Quad I/O Word Fast Read command (after CS# is raised and then lowered) does not require the E7H command code.  
The command sequence is shown in followed Figure15. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) are any value other than  
AXH, the next command requires the first E7H command code, thus returning to normal operation. A “Continuous Read  
Mode” Reset command can be used to reset (M7-0) before issuing normal command.

Quad I/O Word Fast Read with 8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Aroundin Standard SPI mode  
The Quad I/O Word Fast Read command can be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing Set Burst  
with Wrap(77H) commands prior to E7H. The Set Burst with Wrap(77H) command can either enable or disable the Wrap  
Aroundfeature for the following E7H commands. When Wrap Aroundis enabled, the data being accessed can be limited  
to either an 8/16/32/64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The output data starts at the initial address specified in the command,  
once it reaches the ending boundary of the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will wrap around the beginning boundary  
automatically until CS# is pulled high to terminate the command.  
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address and then fill the cache  
afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing multiple read commands. The Set Burst with Wrap”  
command allows three Wrap BitsW6-W4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to enable or disable the Wrap Aroundoperation  
while W6-W5 is used to specify the length of the wrap around section within a page.  
7.13. Set Burst with Wrap (77H)  
The Set Burst with Wrap command is used in conjunction with “Quad I/O Fast Read” and “Quad I/O Word Fast Read”  
command to access a fixed length of 8/16/32/64-byte section within a 256-byte page.  
The Set Burst with Wrap command sequence: CS# goes low Send Set Burst with Wrap command Send 24  
dummy bits Send 8 bits “Wrap bits” CS# goes high.

7.14. Page Program (PP) (02H)  
The Page Program (PP) command is for programming the memory. A Write Enable (WREN) command must  
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program command.  
The Page Program (PP) command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code, three address  
bytes and at least one data byte on SI. If the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data  
that goes beyond the end of the current page are programmed from the start address of the same page (from the address  
whose 8 least significant bits (A7-A0) are all zero). CS# must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence. The  
Page Program command sequence: CS# goes low sending Page Program command 3-byte address on SI at least  
1 byte data on SI CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure18. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the  
device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within  
the same page. If less than 256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses  
without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last data  
byte has been latched in; otherwise the Page Program (PP) command is not executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Page  
Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write in Progress (WIP) bit. The  
Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified  
time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.  
A Page Program (PP) command applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and  
BP0) is not executed.

7.15. Quad Page Program (32H)  
The Quad Page Program command is for programming the memory using four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. To use  
Quad Page Program the Quad enable in status register Bit9 must be set (QE=1). A Write Enable (WREN) command must  
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program command. The  
quad Page Program command is entered by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code (32H), three address bytes  
and at least one data byte on IO pins.  
The command sequence is shown in Figure19. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data  
are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If less than  
256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on  
the other bytes of the same page. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in;  
otherwise the Quad Page Program (PP) command is not executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Quad Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the  
Quad Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP)  
bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Quad Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At  
some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.  
A Quad Page Program command applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1,  
and BP0) is not executed.

7.16. Sector Erase (SE) (20H)  
The Sector Erase (SE) command is used to erase all the data of the chosen sector. A Write Enable (WREN) command  
must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Sector Erase (SE) command is entered  
by driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and 3-address byte on SI. Any address inside the sector is a valid  
address for the Sector Erase (SE) command. CS# must be driven low for the entire duration of the sequence.  
The Sector Erase command sequence: CS# goes low sending Sector Erase command 3-byte address on SI   
CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure20. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last  
address byte has been latched in; otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven  
high, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector Erase cycle is in progress, the  
Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write in Progress (WIP) bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1  
during the self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is  
completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. A Sector Erase (SE) command applied to a sector which is protected  
by the Block Protect (BP4, BP3, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bit (see Table1&1a) is not executed.

command is entered by driving CS# low, followed by the command code, and three address bytes on SI. Any address inside  
the block is a valid address for the 32KB Block Erase (BE) command. CS# must be driven low for the entire duration of the  
sequence.  
The 32KB Block Erase command sequence: CS# goes low sending 32KB Block Erase command 3-byte address  
on SI CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure21. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the

7.19. Chip Erase (CE) (60/C7H)  
The Chip Erase (CE) command is used to erase all the data of the chip. A Write Enable (WREN) command must  
previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit .The Chip Erase (CE) command is entered by driving  
CS# Low, followed by the command code on Serial Data Input (SI). CS# must be driven Low for the entire duration of the  
sequence.  
The Chip Erase command sequence: CS# goes low sending Chip Erase command CS# goes high. The  
command sequence is shown in Figure23. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the command code has been  
latched in; otherwise the Chip Erase command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Chip Erase  
cycle (whose duration is tCE) is initiated. While the Chip Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check  
the value of the Write in Progress (WIP) bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Chip Erase cycle, and  
is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.  
The Chip Erase (CE) command is executed only if the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 0 and CMP=0 or the Block  
Protect (BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits are 1 and CMP=1. The Chip Erase (CE) command is ignored if one or more sectors are  
protected.

7.20. Deep Power-Down (DP) (B9H)  
Executing the Deep Power-Down (DP) command is the only way to put the device in the lowest consumption mode  
(the Deep Power-Down Mode). It can also be used as an extra software protection mechanism, while the device is not in  
active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase commands. Driving CS# high deselects the  
device, and puts the device in the Standby Mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the  
Deep Power-Down Mode. The Deep Power-Down Mode can only be entered by executing the Deep Power-Down (DP)  
command. Once the device has entered the Deep Power-Down Mode, all commands are ignored except the Release from  
Deep Power-Down and Read Device ID (RDI) command or software reset command. The Release from Deep Power-Down  
and Read Device ID (RDI) command releases the device from Deep Power-Down mode , also allows the Device ID of the  
device to be output on SO.  
The Deep Power-Down Mode automatically stops at Power-Down, and the device is in the Standby Mode after Power-

The Deep Power-Down command sequence: CS# goes low sending Deep Power-Down command CS# goes  
high. The command sequence is shown in Figure24. CS# must be driven high after the eighth bit of the command code has  
been latched in; otherwise the Deep Power-Down (DP) command is not executed. As soon as CS# is driven high, it requires  
a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the Deep Power-Down Mode is entered. Any Deep Power-  
Down (DP) command, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the  
cycle that is in progress.

7.21. Release from Deep Power-Down or High Performance Mode and Read  
Device ID (RDI) (ABH)  
TheReleasefromPower-Down or High Performance Mode/Device IDcommandisamulti-purpose command. It can be  
used to release the device from the Power-Down state or High Performance Mode or obtain the devices electronic  
identification (ID) number.  
To release the device from the Power-Down state or High Performance Mode, the command is issued by driving the  
CS# pin low, shifting the instruction code “ABH” and driving CS# high as shown in Figure25. Release from Power-Down  
will take the time duration of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) before the device will resume normal operation and other  
command are accepted. The CS# pin must remain high during the tRES1 time duration.  
When used only to obtain the Device ID while not in the Power-Down state, the command is initiated by driving the  
CS# pin low and shifting the instruction code “ABH” followed by 3-dummy byte. The Device ID bits are then shifted out on  
the falling edge of SCLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure26. The Device ID value is listed in  
Manufacturer and Device Identification table. The Device ID can be read continuously. The command is completed by  
driving CS# high.  
When used to release the device from the Power-Down state and obtain the Device ID, the command is the same  
as previously described, and shown in Figure26, except that after CS# is driven high it must remain high for a time  
duration of tRES2 (See AC Characteristics). After this time duration the device will resume normal operation and other  
command will be accepted. If the Release from Power-Down / Device ID command is issued while an Erase, Program or  
Write cycle is in process (when WIP equal 1) the command is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

The Read Manufacturer/Device ID command is an alternative to the Release from Power-Down / Device ID command  
that provides both the JEDEC assigned Manufacturer ID and the specific Device ID.  
The command is initiated by driving the CS# pin low and shifting the command code “90H” followed by a 24-bit address  
(A23-A0) of 000000H. After which, the Manufacturer ID and the Device ID are shifted out on the falling edge of SCLK with  
most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure27. If the 24-bit address is initially set to 000001H, the Device ID will be  
read first.

7.23. Read Identification (RDID) (9FH)  
The Read Identification (RDID) command allows the 8-bit manufacturer identification to be read, followed by two bytes  
of device identification. The device identification indicates the memory type in the first byte, and the memory capacity of the  
device in the second byte. The Read Identification (RDID) command while an Erase or Program cycle is in progress is not  
decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. The Read Identification (RDID) command should not be issued  
while the device is in Deep Power-Down Mode.  
The device is first selected by driving CS# low. Then, the 8-bit command code for the command is shifted in. This is  
followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory. Each bit is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial Clock.  
The command sequence is shown in Figure 28. The Read Identification (RDID) command is terminated by driving CS# high  
at any time during data output. When CS# is driven high, the device is in the Standby Mode. Once in the Standby Mode,  
the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute commands.

7.24. High Performance Mode (HPM) (A3H)  
The High Performance Mode (HPM) command must be executed prior to Dual or Quad I/O commands when  
operating at high frequencies (see fC3 in AC Electrical Characteristics). This command allows pre-charging of internal  
charge pumps so the voltages required for accessing the flash memory array are readily available. The command  
sequence: CS# goes lowSending A3H commandSending 3-dummy byteCS# goes high. See Figure29. After  
the HPM command is executed, the device will maintain a slightly higher standby current (Icc9) than standard SPI  
operation. The Release from Power-Down or HPM command (ABH) can be used to return to standard SPI standby  
current (Icc1). In addition, Power-Down command (B9H) will also release the device from HPM mode back to standard  
SPI standby state.

7.25. Program/Erase Suspend (PES) (75H)  
The Program/Erase Suspend command “75H”, allows the system to interrupt a page program or sector/block erase  
operation and then read data from any other sector or block. The Write Status Register command (01H) and  
Erase/Program Security Registers command (44H,42H) and Erase commands (20H, 52H, D8H, C7H, 60H) and Page  
Program command (02H / 32H) are not allowed during Program suspend. The Write Status Register command (01H and  
Erase Security Registers command (44H) and Erase commands (20H, 52H, D8H, C7H, 60H) are not allowed during  
Erase suspend. Program/Erase Suspend is valid only during the page program or sector/block erase operation. A  
maximum of time of “tsus” (See AC Characteristics) is required to suspend the program/erase operation.  
The Program/Erase Suspend command will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the Status Register equal  
to 0 and WIP bit equal to 1 while a Page Program or a Sector or Block Erase operation is on-going. If the SUS bit equal to  
1 or WIP bit equal to 0, the Suspend command will be ignored by the device. The WIP bit will be cleared from 1 to 0 within  
“tsus” and the SUS bit will be set from 0 to 1 immediately after Program/Erase Suspend. A power-off during the suspend  
period will reset the device and release the suspend state. The command sequence is show in Figure30.

bit equal to 1 and the WIP bit equal to 0. After issued the SUS bit in the status register will be cleared from 1 to 0 immediately,  
the WIP bit will be set from 0 to 1 within 200ns and the Sector or Block will complete the erase operation or the page will  
complete the program operation. The Program/Erase Resume command will be ignored unless a Program/Erase Suspend  
is active. The command sequence is show in Figure31.

7.27. Erase Security Registers (44H)  
The GD25VE40C provides four 256-byte Security Registers which can be read and programmed individually. These  
registers may be used by the system manufacturers to store security and other important information separately from the  
main memory array.  
The Erase Security Registers command is similar to Sector/Block Erase command. A Write Enable (WREN)  
command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit.  
The Erase Security Registers command sequence: CS# goes low sending Erase Security Registers command   
3-byte address on SI CS# goes high. The command sequence is shown in Figure32. CS# must be driven high after the  
eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched in, otherwise the Erase Security Registers command is not executed.  
As soon as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Erase Security Registers cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated. While the  
Erase Security Registers cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress  
(WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Erase Security Registers cycle, and is 0 when it is  
completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. The Security  
Registers Lock Bit (LB) in the Status Register can be used to OTP protect the security registers. Once the LB bit is set to 1,  
the Security Registers will be permanently locked; the Erase Security Registers command will be ignored.

7.28. Program Security Registers (42H)  
The Program Security Registers command is similar to the Page Program command. Each security register contains  
one pages content. A Write Enable (WREN) command must previously have been executed to set the Write Enable Latch  
(WEL) bit before sending the Program Security Registers command. The Program Security Registers command is entered  
by driving CS# Low, followed by the command code (42H), three address bytes and at least one data byte on SI. As soon  
34

as CS# is driven high, the self-timed Program Security Registers cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Program  
Security Registers cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP)  
bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Program Security Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed.  
At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.  
If the Security Registers Lock Bit (LB) is set to 1, the Security Register will be permanently locked. Program Security  
Registers command will be ignored.

7.29. Read Security Registers (48H)  
The Read Security Registers command is similar to Fast Read command. The command is followed by a 3-byte address  
(A23-A0) and a dummy byte, and each bit is latched-in during the rising edge of SCLK. Then the memory content, at that  
address, is shifted out on SO, and each bit is shifted out, at a Max frequency fC, on the falling edge of SCLK. The first byte  
addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of  
data is shifted out. Once the A7-A0 address reaches the last byte of the register (Byte FFH), it will reset to 00H, the command  
is completed by driving CS# high.

7.30. Enable Reset (66H) and Reset (99H)  
If the Reset command is accepted, any on-going internal operation will be terminated and the device will return to its  
default power-on state and lose all the current volatile settings, such as Volatile Status Register bits, Write Enable Latch  
status (WEL), Program/Erase Suspend status, Read Parameter setting (P7-P0), Continuous Read Mode bit setting (M7-  
M0) and Wrap Bit Setting (W6-W4).  
The “Reset (99H)” command sequence as follow: CS# goes low Sending Enable Reset command CS# goes  
high CS# goes low Sending Reset command CS# goes high. Once the Reset command is accepted by the device,  
the device will take approximately tRST / tRST_E to reset. During this period, no command will be accepted. Data corruption  
may happen if there is an on-going or suspended internal Erase or Program operation when Reset command sequence is  
accepted by the device. It is recommended to check the BUSY bit and the SUS bit in Status Register before issuing the  
Reset command sequence.

The Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard provides a consistent method of describing the functional  
and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a standard set of internal parameter tables. These parameter tables can  
be interrogated by host system software to enable adjustments needed to accommodate divergent features from multiple  
vendors. The concept is similar to the one found in the Introduction of JEDEC Standard, JESD68 on CFI. SFDP is a standard  
of JEDEC Standard No.216.
