MX25U25635F  
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
MX25U25635F is 256Mb bits serial Flash memory, which is configured as 33,554,432 x 8 internally. When it is in  
two or four I/O mode, the structure becomes 134,217,728 bits x 2 or 67,108,864 bits x 4. MX25U25635F feature a  
serial peripheral interface and software protocol allowing operation on a simple 3-wire bus while it is in single I/O  
mode. The three bus signals are a clock input (SCLK), a serial data input (SI), and a serial data output (SO). Serial  
access to the device is enabled by CS# input.  
When it is in two I/O read mode, the SI pin and SO pin become SIO0 pin and SIO1 pin for address/dummy bits in-  
put and data output. When it is in four I/O read mode, the SI pin, SO pin, WP# and RESET# pin become SIO0 pin,  
SIO1 pin, SIO2 pin and SIO3 pin for address/dummy bits input and data output.  
The MX25U25635F MXSMIO(Serial Multi I/O) provides sequential read operation on whole chip.  
After program/erase command is issued, auto program/erase algorithms which program/erase and verify the speci-  
fied page or sector/block locations will be executed. Program command is executed on byte basis, or page (256  
bytes) basis, or word basis for erase command is executed on sector (4K-byte), block (32K-byte), or block (64K-byte),  
or whole chip basis.  
To provide user with ease of interface, a status register is included to indicate the status of the chip. The status read  
command can be issued to detect completion status of a program or erase operation via WIP bit.  
When the device is not in operation and CS# is high, it is put in standby mode.  
The MX25U25635F utilizes Macronix's proprietary memory cell, which reliably stores memory contents even after  
100,000 program and erase cycles.

6. DATA PROTECTION  
During power transition, there may be some false system level signals which result in inadvertent erasure or  
programming. The device is designed to protect itself from these accidental write cycles.  
The state machine will be reset as standby mode automatically during power up. In addition, the control register  
architecture of the device constrains that the memory contents can only be changed after specific command  
sequences have completed successfully.  
In the following, there are several features to protect the system from the accidental write cycles during VCC power-  
up and power-down or from system noise.  
Valid command length checking: The command length will be checked whether it is at byte base and completed  
on byte boundary.  
Write Enable (WREN) command: WREN command is required to set the Write Enable Latch bit (WEL) before  
other command to change data.  
Deep Power Down Mode: By entering deep power down mode, the flash device also is under protected from writ-  
ing all commands except Release from deep power down mode command (RDP) and Read Electronic Signature  
command (RES), and softreset command.

I. Block lock protection  
- The Software Protected Mode (SPM) use (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 and T/B) bits to allow part of memory to be  
protected as read only. The protected area definition is shown as Table 2 Protected Area Sizes, the protected ar-  
eas are more flexible which may protect various area by setting value of BP0-BP3 bits.  
- The Hardware Proteced Mode (HPM) use WP#/SIO2 to protect the (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits and Status Reg-  
ister Write Protect bit.  
- In four I/O and QPI mode, the feature of HPM will be disabled.

8. DEVICE OPERATION  
1. Before a command is issued, status register should be checked to ensure device is ready for the intended op-  
eration.  
2. When incorrect command is inputted to this device, this device becomes standby mode and keeps the standby  
mode until next CS# falling edge. In standby mode, SO pin of this device should be High-Z.  
3. When correct command is inputted to this device, this device becomes active mode and keeps the active mode  
until next CS# rising edge.  
4. Input data is latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCLK) and data shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK.  
The difference of Serial mode 0 and mode 3 is shown as "Serial Modes Supported".  
5. For the following instructions: RDID, RDSR, RDSCUR, READ/READ4B, FAST_READ/FAST_READ4B,  
2READ/2READ4B, DREAD/DREAD4B, 4READ/4READ4B, QREAD/QREAD4B, RDSFDP, RES, REMS, QPIID,  
RDEAR, RDFBR, RDCR, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. After any bit  
of data being shifted out, the CS# can be high. For the following instructions: WREN, WRDI, WRSR, SE/SE4B,  
BE32K/BE32K4B, BE/BE4B, CE, PP/PP4B, 4PP/4PP4B, DP, ENSO, EXSO, WRSCUR, EN4B, EX4B, SUS-  
PEND, RESUME, NOP, RSTEN, RST, EQIO, RSTQIO the CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary; oth-  
erwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.  
6. During the progress of Write Status Register, Program, Erase operation, to access the memory array is neglect-  
ed and not affect the current operation of Write Status Register, Program, Erase.

8-1. 256Mb Address Protocol  
The original 24 bit address protocol of serial Flash can only access density size below 128Mb. For the memory  
device of 256Mb and above, the 32bit address is requested for access higher memory size. The MX25U25635F  
provides three different methods to access the whole 256Mb density:  
1. Command entry 4-byte address mode: Issue Enter 4-Byte mode command to set up the 4BYTE bit in  
Configuration Register bit. After 4BYTE bit has been set, the number of address cycle become 32-bit.  
2. Extended Address Register (EAR): configure the memory device into two 128Mb segments to select which one  
is active through the EAR bit “0”.  
3. 4-byte Address Command Set: When issuing 4-byte address command set, 4-byte address (A31-A0) is  
requested after the instruction code. Please note that it is not necessary to issue EN4B command before issuing  
any of 4-byte command set.  
Enter 4-Byte Address Mode  
In 4-byte Address mode, all instructions are 32-bits address clock cycles. By using EN4B and EX4B to enable and  
disable the 4-byte address mode.  
When 4-byte address mode is enabled, the EAR<0> becomes "don't care" for all instructions requiring 4-byte  
address. The EAR function will be disabled when 4-byte mode is enabled.  
Extended Address Register (Configurable)  
The device provides an 8-bit volatile register for extended Address Register: it indentifies the extended address  
(A31~A24) above 128Mb density by using original 3-byte address.

Bit 0  
A24  
For the MX25U25635F the A31 to A25 are Don’t Care. During EAR, reading these bits will read as 0. The bit 0 is  
default as "0".

01FFFFFFh  
01000000h  
00FFFFFFh  
Bottom 128Mb  
EAR<0>= 0 (default)  
00000000h  
When under EAR mode, Read, Program, Erase operates in the selected segment by using 3-byte address mode.  
For the read operation, the whole array data can be continually read out with one command. Data output starts from  
the selected top or bottom 128Mb, but it can cross the boundary. When the last byte of the segment is reached,  
the next byte (in a continuous reading) is the first byte of the next segment. However, the EAR (Extended Address  
Register) value does not change. The random access reading can only be operated in the selected segment.  
The Chip erase command will erase the whole chip and is not limited by EAR selected segment.

Reset QPI (RSTQIO)  
To reset the QPI mode, the RSTQIO (F5H) command is required. After the RSTQIO command is issued, the device  
returns from QPI mode (4 I/O interface in command cycles) to SPI mode (1 I/O interface in command cycles).  
Note:  
For EQIO and RSTQIO commands, CS# high width has to follow "write spec" tSHSL for next instruction.

9-1. Write Enable (WREN)  
The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is for setting Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. For those instructions like PP/  
PP4B, 4PP/4PP4B, SE/SE4B, BE32K/BE32K4B, BE/BE4B, CE, WRSR, WREAR, WRFBR, ESFBR, and WRSCUR  
which are intended to change the device content WEL bit should be set every time after the WREN instruction set-  
ting the WEL bit. Please note that a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed to set the Write Enable  
Latch (WEL) bit before sending any of those instructions.  
The sequence of issuing WREN instruction is: CS# goes low→sending WREN instruction code→ CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care in

The RDID instruction is for reading the manufacturer ID of 1-byte and followed by Device ID of 2-byte. The Macro-  
nix Manufacturer ID and Device ID are listed as Table 6 ID Definitions.  
The sequence of issuing RDID instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending RDID instruction code→24-bits ID data out  
on SO→ to end RDID operation can drive CS# to high at any time during data out.  
While Program/Erase operation is in progress, it will not decode the RDID instruction, therefore there's no effect on  
the cycle of program/erase operation which is currently in progress. When CS# goes high, the device is at standby  
stage.

Select (CS#) is driven High, the device is put in the Stand-by Power mode. If the device was not previously in the  
Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in  
the Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Stand-by Power mode is delayed by tRES2, and Chip  
Select (CS#) must remain High for at least tRES2(max), as specified in Table 17. AC Characteristics. Once in the  
Stand-by Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. The  
RDP instruction is only for releasing from Deep Power Down Mode. Reset# pin goes low will release the Flash from  
deep power down mode.  
RES instruction is for reading out the old style of 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose values are shown as Table 6 ID  
Definitions. This is not the same as RDID instruction. It is not recommended to use for new design. For new design,  
please use RDID instruction.  
Even in Deep power-down mode, the RDP and RES are also allowed to be executed, only except the device is in  
progress of program/erase/write cycle; there's no effect on the current program/erase/write cycle in progress.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
The RES instruction is ended by CS# goes high after the ID been read out at least once. The ID outputs repeat-  
edly if continuously send the additional clock cycles on SCLK while CS# is at low. If the device was not previously  
in Deep Power-down mode, the device transition to standby mode is immediate. If the device was previously in  
Deep Power-down mode, there's a delay of tRES2 to transit to standby mode, and CS# must remain to high at least  
tRES2(max). Once in the standby mode, the device waits to be selected, so it can be receive, decode, and execute  
instruction.

9-5. Read Electronic Manufacturer ID & Device ID (REMS)  
The REMS instruction is an alternative to the Release from Power-down/Device ID instruction that provides both the  
JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID and the specific device ID.  
The REMS instruction is very similar to the Release from Power-down/Device ID instruction. The instruction is initi-  
ated by driving the CS# pin low and shift the instruction code "90h" followed by two dummy bytes and one bytes ad-  
dress (A7~A0). After which, the Manufacturer ID for Macronix (C2h) and the Device ID are shifted out on the falling  
edge of SCLK with most significant bit (MSB) first. The Device ID values are listed in Table 6 of ID Definitions. If the  
one-byte address is initially set to 01h, then the device ID will be read first and then followed by the Manufacturer  
ID. The Manufacturer and Device IDs can be read continuously, alternating from one to the other. The instruction is  
completed by driving CS# high.

User can execute this ID Read (QPIID Read) instruction to identify the Device ID and Manufacturer ID. The  
sequence of issue QPIID instruction is CS# goes low→sending QPI ID instruction→Data out on SO→CS# goes  
high. Most significant bit (MSB) first.  
After the command cycle, the device will immediately output data on the falling edge of SCLK. The manufacturer ID,  
memory type, and device ID data byte will be output continuously, until the CS# goes high.

The RDSR instruction is for reading Status Register Bits. The Read Status Register can be read at any time (even  
in program/erase/write status register condition). It is recommended to check the Write in Progress (WIP) bit before  
sending a new instruction when a program, erase, or write status register operation is in progress.  
The sequence of issuing RDSR instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending RDSR instruction code→ Status Register data  
out on SO.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care

Status Register  
The definition of the status register bits is as below:  
WIP bit. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit, a volatile bit, indicates whether the device is busy in program/erase/write sta-  
tus register progress. When WIP bit sets to 1, which means the device is busy in program/erase/write status register  
progress. When WIP bit sets to 0, which means the device is not in progress of program/erase/write status register  
cycle.  
WEL bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit, a volatile bit, indicates whether the device is set to internal write enable  
latch. When WEL bit sets to 1, which means the internal write enable latch is set, the device can accept program/  
erase/write status register instruction. When WEL bit sets to 0, which means no internal write enable latch; the device  
will not accept program/erase/write status register instruction. The program/erase command will be ignored if it is ap-  
plied to a protected memory area. To ensure both WIP bit & WEL bit are both set to 0 and available for next program/  
erase/operations, WIP bit needs to be confirm to be 0 before polling WEL bit. After WIP bit confirmed, WEL bit needs  
to be confirm to be 0.  
BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits. The Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, non-volatile bits, indicate the protected area (as  
defined in Table 2) of the device to against the program/erase instruction without hardware protection mode being set.  
To write the Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to be ex-  
ecuted. Those bits define the protected area of the memory to against Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Block  
Erase 32KB (BE32K), Block Erase (BE) and Chip Erase (CE) instructions (only if Block Protect bits (BP3:BP0) set to 0,  
the CE instruction can be executed). The BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 bits are "0" as default. Which is un-protected.  
QE bit. The Quad Enable (QE) bit, non-volatile bit, while it is "0" (factory default), it performs non-Quad and WP#,  
RESET# are enable. While QE is "1", it performs Quad I/O mode and WP#, RESET# are disabled. In the other  
word, if the system goes into four I/O mode (QE=1), the feature of HPM and RESET will be disabled.  
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit, non-volatile bit, is operated together with Write Protection  
(WP#/SIO2) pin for providing hardware protection mode. The hardware protection mode requires SRWD sets to 1 and  
WP#/SIO2 pin signal is low stage. In the hardware protection mode, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is  
no longer accepted for execution and the SRWD bit and Block Protect bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0) are read only. The  
SRWD bit defaults to be "0".

Configuration Register  
The Configuration Register is able to change the default status of Flash memory. Flash memory will be configured  
after the CR bit is set.  
DC bits  
The dummy cycle (DC1, DC2) bits are volatile bits, which indicate the number of dummy cycles (as defined in  
Dummy Cycle and Frequency Table ) of the device. The default Dummy Cycle bits are DC[1:0]=00. To write the  
Dummy cycle bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to be executed. Please note that only  
MX25U25635FZ4I-08G supports 133MHz with 10 dummy cycles. The value of DC[1:0] will not be changed when  
users try to set all other products' DC[1:0] to 11b.  
ODS bit  
The output driver strength (ODS2, ODS1, ODS0) bits are volatile bits, which indicate the output driver level (as  
defined in Output Driver Strength Table) of the device. The Output Driver Strength is defaulted as 30 Ohms when  
delivered from factory. To write the ODS bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to be executed.  
TB bit  
The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is a non-volatile OTP bit. The Top/Bottom (TB) bit is used to configure the Block Protect  
area by BP bit (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0), starting from TOP or Bottom of the memory array. The TB bit is defaulted as  
“0”, which means Top area protect. When it is set as “1”, the protect area will change to Bottom area of the memory  
device. To write the TB bits requires the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction to be executed.  
4BYTE Indicator bit  
By writing EN4B instruction, the 4BYTE bit may be set as "1" to access the address length of 32-bit for memory area  
of higher density (large than 128Mb). The default state is "0" as the 24-bit address mode. The 4BYTE bit may be  
cleared by power-off or writing EX4B instruction to reset the state to be "0".

9-9. Write Status Register (WRSR)  
The WRSR instruction is for changing the values of Status Register Bits and Configuration Register Bits. Before  
sending WRSR instruction, the Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be decoded and executed to set the Write  
Enable Latch (WEL) bit in advance. The WRSR instruction can change the value of Block Protect (BP3, BP2, BP1,  
BP0) bits to define the protected area of memory (as shown in Table 2). The WRSR also can set or reset the Quad  
enable (QE) bit and set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with Write Protection (WP#/  
SIO2) pin signal, but has no effect on bit1(WEL) and bit0 (WIP) of the status register. The WRSR instruction cannot  
be executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered.  
The sequence of issuing WRSR instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending WRSR instruction code→ Status Register  
data on SI→CS# goes high.  
The CS# must go high exactly at the 8 bits or 16 bits data boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and  
not executed. The self-timed Write Status Register cycle time (tW) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes  
high. The Write in Progress (WIP) bit still can be check out during the Write Status Register cycle is in progress.  
The WIP sets 1 during the tW timing, and sets 0 when Write Status Register Cycle is completed, and the Write En-  
able Latch (WEL) bit is reset.

Software Protected Mode (SPM):  
-
When SRWD bit=0, no matter WP#/SIO2 is low or high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit and can  
change the values of SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP2, BP1,  
BP0 and T/B bit, is at software protected mode (SPM).  
-
When SRWD bit=1 and WP#/SIO2 is high, the WREN instruction may set the WEL bit can change the values  
of SRWD, BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0. The protected area, which is defined by BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 and T/B bit, is at  
software protected mode (SPM)  
Note:  
If SRWD bit=1 but WP#/SIO2 is low, it is impossible to write the Status Register even if the WEL bit has previously  
been set. It is rejected to write the Status Register and not be executed.  
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM):  
-
When SRWD bit=1, and then WP#/SIO2 is low (or WP#/SIO2 is low before SRWD bit=1), it enters the hardware  
protected mode (HPM). The data of the protected area is protected by software protected mode by BP3, BP2,  
BP1, BP0 and T/B bit and hardware protected mode by the WP#/SIO2 to against data modification.  
Note:  
To exit the hardware protected mode requires WP#/SIO2 driving high once the hardware protected mode is entered.  
If the WP#/SIO2 pin is permanently connected to high, the hardware protected mode can never be entered; only  
can use software protected mode via BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0 and T/B bit.  
If the system enter QPI or set QE=1, the feature of HPM will be disabled.

9-10. Enter 4-byte mode (EN4B)  
The EN4B instruction enables accessing the address length of 32-bit for the memory area of higher density (larger  
than 128Mb). The device default is in 24-bit address mode; after sending out the EN4B instruction, the bit5 (4BYTE  
bit) of configuration register will be automatically set to "1" to indicate the 4-byte address mode has been enabled.  
Once the 4-byte address mode is enabled, the address length becomes 32-bit instead of the default 24-bit. There  
are three methods to exit the 4-byte mode: writing exit 4-byte mode (EX4B) instruction, Reset or power-off.  
All instructions are accepted normally, and just the address bit is changed from 24-bit to 32-bit.  
The following command don't support 4bye address: 4READ for top 128Mb (EAh), RDSFDP, RES and REMS.  
The sequence of issuing EN4B instruction is: CS# goes low → sending EN4B instruction to enter 4-byte mode  
(automatically set 4BYTE bit as "1") → CS# goes high.  
9-11. Exit 4-byte mode (EX4B)  
The EX4B instruction is executed to exit the 4-byte address mode and return to the default 3-bytes address mode.  
After sending out the EX4B instruction, the bit5 (4BYTE bit) of Configuration register will be cleared to be "0" to  
indicate the exit of the 4-byte address mode. Once exiting the 4-byte address mode, the address length will return to  
24-bit.  
The sequence of issuing EX4B instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending EX4B instruction to exit 4-byte mode  
(automatically clear the 4BYTE bit to be "0") → CS# goes high.

9-12. Read Data Bytes (READ)  
The read instruction is for reading data out. The address is latched on rising edge of SCLK, and data shifts out on  
the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fR. The first address byte can be at any location. The address  
is automatically increased to the next higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can  
be read out at a single READ instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been  
reached.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte mode (EN4B)  
Mode section.  
The sequence of issuing READ instruction is: CS# goes low→sending READ instruction code→ 3-byte or 4-byte  
address on SI→ data out on SO→to end READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.

9-13. Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ)  
The FAST_READ instruction is for quickly reading data out. The address is latched on rising edge of SCLK, and  
data of each bit shifts out on the falling edge of SCLK at a maximum frequency fC. The first address byte can be at  
any location. The address is automatically increased to the next higher address after each byte data is shifted out,  
so the whole memory can be read out at a single FAST_READ instruction. The address counter rolls over to 0 when  
the highest address has been reached.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte mode (EN4B)  
Mode section.  
Read on SPI Mode The sequence of issuing FAST_READ instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending FAST_READ  
instruction code→ 3-byte or 4-byte address on SI→ 8 dummy cycles (default)→ data out on SO→ to end FAST_  
READ operation can use CS# to high at any time during data out.  
While Program/Erase/Write Status Register cycle is in progress, FAST_READ instruction is rejected without any im-  
pact on the Program/Erase/Write Status Register current cycle.

9-14. Dual Output Read Mode (DREAD)  
The DREAD instruction enable double throughput of Serial Flash in read mode. The address is latched on rising  
edge of SCLK, and data of every two bits (interleave on 2 I/O pins) shift out on the falling edge of SCLK at a maxi-  
mum frequency fT. The first address byte can be at any location. The address is automatically increased to the next  
higher address after each byte data is shifted out, so the whole memory can be read out at a single DREAD instruc-  
tion. The address counter rolls over to 0 when the highest address has been reached. Once writing DREAD instruc-  
tion, the following data out will perform as 2-bit instead of previous 1-bit.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte mode (EN4B)

To set the Burst length, following command operation is required to issue command: “C0h” in the first Byte (8-clocks),  
following 4 clocks defining wrap around enable with “0h” and disable with“1h”.  
The next 4 clocks are to define wrap around depth. Their definitions are as the following table:

The wrap around unit is defined within the 256Byte page, with random initial address. It is defined as “wrap-around  
mode disable” for the default state of the device. To exit wrap around, it is required to issue another “C0” command  
in which data=‘1xh”. Otherwise, wrap around status will be retained until power down or reset command. To change  
wrap around depth, it is requried to issue another “C0” command in which data=“0xh”. QPI “EAh” “EBh” and SPI  
"EAh" “EBh” support wrap around feature after wrap around is enabled. Burst read is supported in both SPI and QPI  
mode. The device is default without Burst read.

9-20. Performance Enhance Mode  
The device could waive the command cycle bits if the two cycle bits after address cycle toggles.  
Performance enhance mode is supported in both SPI and QPI mode.  
In QPI mode, “EAh” “EBh” "ECh" and SPI "EAh" “EBh” "ECh" commands support enhance mode. The performance  
enhance mode is not supported in dual I/O mode.  
To enter performance-enhancing mode, P[7:4] must be toggling with P[3:0]; likewise P[7:0]=A5h, 5Ah, F0h or 0Fh  
can make this mode continue and skip the next 4READ instruction. To leave enhance mode, P[7:4] is no longer tog-  
gling with P[3:0]; likewise P[7:0]=FFh, 00h, AAh or 55h along with CS# is afterwards raised and then lowered. Input  
command "FFh(3-byte address mode)" or data "3FFh(4-byte address mode)" can also exit enhance mode. The sys-  
tem then will leave performance enhance mode and return to normal operation.  
After entering enhance mode, following CS# go high, the device will stay in the read mode and treat CS# go low of  
the first clock as address instead of command cycle.  
Another sequence of issuing 4READ instruction especially useful in random access is : CS# goes low sending 4  
READ instruction 3-bytes or 4-bytes address interleave on SIO3, SIO2, SIO1 & SIO0 performance enhance tog-  
gling bit P[7:0] 4 dummy cycles (Default) data out still CS# goes high CS# goes low (reduce 4 Read instruc-  
tion)

9-22. Fast Boot  
The Fast Boot Feature provides the ability to automatically execute read operation after power on cycle or reset  
without any read instruction.  
A Fast Boot Register is provided on this device. It can enable the Fast Boot function and also define the number of  
delay cycles and start address (where boot code being transferred). Instruction WRFBR (write fast boot register) and  
ESFBR (erase fast boot register) can be used for the status configuration or alternation of the Fast Boot Register  
bit. RDFBR (read fast boot register) can be used to verify the program state of the Fast Boot Register. The default  
number of delay cycles is 13 cycles, and there is a 16bytes boundary address for the start of boot code access.  
When CS# starts to go low, data begins to output from default address after the delay cycles (default as 13 cycles).  
After CS# returns to go high, the device will go back to standard SPI mode and user can start to input command. In  
the fast boot data out process from CS# goes low to CS# goes high, a minimum of one byte must be output.  
Once Fast Boot feature has been enabled, the device will automatically start a read operation after power on cycle,  
reset command, or hardware reset operation.  
The fast Boot feature can support Single I/O and Quad I/O interface. If the QE bit of Status Register is “0”, the data  
is output by Single I/O interface. If the QE bit of Status Register is set to “1”, the data is output by Quad I/O interface.

9-23. Sector Erase (SE)  
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen sector to be "1". The instruction is used for  
any 4K-byte sector. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must execute to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before  
sending the Sector Erase (SE). Any address of the sector (see Table 4 memory organization) is a valid address for  
Sector Erase (SE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the least significant bit of the  
address byte been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.  
Address bits [Am-A12] (Am is the most significant address) select the sector address.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte address mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte  
mode (EN4B) Mode section.  
The sequence of issuing SE instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending SE instruction code→ 3-byte or 4-byte address  
on SI→ CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
The self-timed Sector Erase Cycle time (tSE) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in  
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while the Sector Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets 1 during the tSE  
timing, and clears when Sector Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared. If the  
sector is protected by BP bits (Block Protect Mode), the Sector Erase (SE) instruction will not be executed on the  
sector.

The Block Erase (BE32K) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen block to be "1". The instruction is used for  
32K-byte block erase operation. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL)  
bit before sending the Block Erase (BE32K). Any address of the block (see Table 4 memory organization) is a valid  
address for Block Erase (BE32K) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the least signifi-  
cant bit of address byte been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.  
Address bits [Am-A15] (Am is the most significant address) select the 32KB block address.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte address mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte  
mode (EN4B) Mode section.  
The sequence of issuing BE32K instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending BE32K instruction code→ 3-byte or 4-byte  
address on SI→CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
The self-timed Block Erase Cycle time (tBE32K) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in  
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while during the Block Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets during the  
tBE32K timing, and clears when Block Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared. If  
the Block is protected by BP bits (Block Protect Mode), the Block Erase (BE32K) instruction will not be executed on  
the block.

The Block Erase (BE) instruction is for erasing the data of the chosen block to be "1". The instruction is used  
for 64K-byte block erase operation. A Write Enable (WREN) instruction must be executed to set the Write Enable  
Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Block Erase (BE). Any address of the block (Please refer to Table 4 memory  
organization) is a valid address for Block Erase (BE) instruction. The CS# must go high exactly at the byte boundary (the

9-26. Chip Erase (CE)  
The Chip Erase (CE) instruction is for erasing the data of the whole chip to be "1". A Write Enable (WREN) instruc-  
tion must be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Chip Erase (CE). The CS# must  
go high exactly at the byte boundary, otherwise the instruction will be rejected and not executed.  
The sequence of issuing CE instruction is: CS# goes low→sending CE instruction code→CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
The self-timed Chip Erase Cycle time (tCE) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in  
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while the Chip Erase cycle is in progress. The WIP sets during the tCE tim-  
ing, and clears when Chip Erase Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared.  
When the chip is under "Block protect (BP) Mode". The Chip Erase (CE) instruction will not be executed, if one (or  
more) sector is protected by BP3-BP0 bits. It will be only executed when BP3-BP0 all set to "0".

9-27. Page Program (PP)  
The Page Program (PP) instruction is for programming the memory to be "0". A Write Enable (WREN) instruction  
must be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit before sending the Page Program (PP). The device pro-  
grams only the last 256 data bytes sent to the device. The last address byte (the 8 least significant address bits,  
A7-A0) should be set to 0 for 256 bytes page program. If A7-A0 are not all zero, transmitted data that exceed page  
length are programmed from the starting address (24-bit address that last 8 bit are all 0) of currently selected page.  
If the data bytes sent to the device exceeds 256, the last 256 data byte is programmed at the request page and  
previous data will be disregarded. If the data bytes sent to the device has not exceeded 256, the data will be pro-  
grammed at the request address of the page. There will be no effort on the other data bytes of the same page.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte address mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte  
mode (EN4B) Mode section.  
The sequence of issuing PP instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending PP instruction code→ 3-byte or 4-byte address  
on SI→ at least 1-byte on data on SI→ CS# goes high.  
The CS# must be kept to low during the whole Page Program cycle; The CS# must go high exactly at the byte  
boundary( the latest eighth bit of data being latched in), otherwise the instruction will be rejected and will not be ex-  
ecuted.  
The self-timed Page Program Cycle time (tPP) is initiated as soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high. The Write in  
Progress (WIP) bit still can be checked while the Page Program cycle is in progress. The WIP sets during the tPP  
timing, and clears when Page Program Cycle is completed, and the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is cleared. If the  
page is protected by BP bits (Block Protect Mode), the Page Program (PP) instruction will not be executed.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.

9-28. 4 x I/O Page Program (4PP)  
The Quad Page Program (4PP) instruction is for programming the memory to be "0". A Write Enable (WREN) in-  
struction must be executed to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit and Quad Enable (QE) bit must be set to "1" be-  
fore sending the Quad Page Program (4PP). The Quad Page Programming takes four pins: SIO0, SIO1, SIO2, and  
SIO3 as address and data input, which can improve programmer performance and the effectiveness of application.  
The other function descriptions are as same as standard page program.  
The default read mode is 3-byte address, to access higher address (4-byte address) which requires to enter the  
4-byte address read mode or to define EAR bit. To enter the 4-byte address mode, please refer to the enter 4-byte  
mode (EN4B) Mode section.  
The sequence of issuing 4PP instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending 4PP instruction code→ 3-byte or 4-byte ad-  
dress on SIO[3:0]→ at least 1-byte on data on SIO[3:0]→CS# goes high.  
If the page is protected by BP bits (Block Protect Mode), the Quad Page Program (4PP) instruction will not be  
executed.

9-29. Deep Power-down (DP)  
The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is for setting the device to minimum power consumption (the standby cur-  
rent is reduced from ISB1 to ISB2). The Deep Power-down mode requires the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction  
to enter, during the Deep Power-down mode, the device is not active and all Write/Program/Erase instruction are  
ignored. When CS# goes high, it's only in deep power-down mode not standby mode. It's different from Standby  
mode.  
The sequence of issuing DP instruction is: CS# goes low→sending DP instruction code→CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
Once the DP instruction is set, all instruction will be ignored except the Release from Deep Power-down mode (RDP)  
and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction and softreset command. (those instructions allow the ID being  
reading out). When Power-down, or software reset command the deep power-down mode automatically stops, and  
when power-up, the device automatically is in standby mode. For DP instruction the CS# must go high exactly at the  
byte boundary (the latest eighth bit of instruction code been latched-in); otherwise, the instruction will not executed.  
As soon as Chip Select (CS#) goes high, a delay of tDP is required before entering the Deep Power-down mode.

9-30. Enter Secured OTP (ENSO)  
The ENSO instruction is for entering the additional 4K-bit secured OTP mode. While device is in 4K-bit secured  
OTPmode, main array access is not available. The additional 4K-bit secured OTP is independent from main array  
and may be used to store unique serial number for system identifier. After entering the Secured OTP mode, follow  
standard read or program procedure to read out the data or update data. The Secured OTP data cannot be updated  
again once it is lock-down.  
The sequence of issuing ENSO instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending ENSO instruction to enter Secured OTP  
mode→ CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
Please note that after issuing ENSO command user can only access secure OTP region with standard read or pro-  
gram procedure. Furthermore, once security OTP is lock down, only read related commands are valid.  
9-31. Exit Secured OTP (EXSO)  
The EXSO instruction is for exiting the additional 4K-bit secured OTP mode.  
The sequence of issuing EXSO instruction is: CS# goes low→ sending EXSO instruction to exit Secured OTP  
mode→ CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
9-32. Read Security Register (RDSCUR)  
The RDSCUR instruction is for reading the value of Security Register bits. The Read Security Register can be read  
at any time (even in program/erase/write status register/write security register condition) and continuously.  
The sequence of issuing RDSCUR instruction is : CS# goes low→sending RDSCUR instruction→Security Register  
data out on SO→ CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
9-33. Write Security Register (WRSCUR)  
The WRSCUR instruction is for changing the values of Security Register Bits. The WREN (Write Enable) instruction  
is required before issuing WRSCUR instruction. The WRSCUR instruction may change the values of bit1 (LDSO  
bit) for customer to lock-down the 4K-bit Secured OTP area. Once the LDSO bit is set to "1", the Secured OTP area  
cannot be updated any more.  
The sequence of issuing WRSCUR instruction is :CS# goes low→ sending WRSCUR instruction → CS# goes high.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
The CS# must go high exactly at the boundary; otherwise, the instruction will be rejected and not executed.

Security Register  
The definition of the Security Register bits is as below:  
Erase Fail bit. The Erase Fail bit is a status flag, which shows the status of last Erase operation. It will be set to  
"1", if the erase operation fails or the erase region is protected. It will be set to "0", if the last operation is success.  
Please note that it will not interrupt or stop any operation in the flash memory.  
Program Fail bit. The Program Fail bit is a status flag, which shows the status of last Program operation. It will be  
set to "1", if the program operation fails or the program region is protected. It will be set to "0", if the last operation is  
success. Please note that it will not interrupt or stop any operation in the flash memory.  
Erase Suspend bit. Erase Suspend Bit (ESB) indicates the status of Erase Suspend operation. Users may use  
ESB to identify the state of flash memory. After the flash memory is suspended by Erase Suspend command, ESB is  
set to "1". ESB is cleared to "0" after erase operation resumes.  
Program Suspend bit. Program Suspend Bit (PSB) indicates the status of Program Suspend operation. Users may  
use PSB to identify the state of flash memory. After the flash memory is suspended by Program Suspend command,  
PSB is set to "1". PSB is cleared to "0" after program operation resumes.  
Secured OTP Indicator bit. The Secured OTP indicator bit shows the chip is locked by factory or not. When it is  
"0", it indicates non-factory lock; "1" indicates factory-lock.  
Lock-down Secured OTP (LDSO) bit. By writing WRSCUR instruction, the LDSO bit may be set to "1" for cus-  
tomer lock-down purpose. However, once the bit is set to "1" (lock-down), the LDSO bit and the 4K-bit Secured OTP  
area cannot be updated any more. While it is in 4K-bit secured OTP mode, main array access is not allowed.

if the timing is less than 100us from Program Suspend Resume or 200us from Erase Suspend Resume, the  
content of flash memory might not be changed before the suspend command has been issued.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
9-36. Erase Suspend  
Erase suspend allow the interruption of all erase operations. After the device has entered Erase-Suspended mode,  
the system can read any sector(s) or Block(s) except those being erased by the suspended erase operation.  
Reading the sector or Block being erase suspended is invalid.  
After erase suspend, WEL bit will be clear, following commands can be accepted. (including: 03h, 0Bh, 3Bh, 6Bh,  
BBh, EAh, EBh, 5Ah, C0h, 06h, 04h, 2Bh, 9Fh, AFh, 05h, ABh, 90h, 02h, 38h, B1h, C1h, B0h, 30h, 66h, 99h, 00h,

If the system issues an Erase Suspend command after the sector erase operation has already begun, the device will  
not enter Erase-Suspended mode until 20us time has elapsed.  
Erase Suspend Bit (ESB) indicates the status of Erase Suspend operation. Users may use ESB to identify the  
state of flash memory. After the flash memory is suspended by Erase Suspend command, ESB is set to "1". ESB is  
cleared to "0" after erase operation resumes.  
9-37. Program Suspend  
Program suspend allows the interruption of all program operations. After the device has entered Program-  
Suspended mode, the system can read any sector(s) or Block(s) except those being programmed by the suspended  
program operation. Reading the sector or Block being program suspended is invalid.  
After program suspend, WEL bit will be cleared, only read related, resume and reset command can be accepted.

9-38. Write-Resume  
The Write operation is being resumed when Write-Resume instruction issued. ESB or PSB (suspend status bit) in  
Status register will be changed back to “0”  
The operation of Write-Resume is as follows: CS# drives low → send write resume command cycle (30H) → drive  
CS# high. By polling Busy Bit in status register, the internal write operation status could be checked to be completed  
or not. The user may also wait the time lag of TSE, TBE, TPP for Sector-erase, Block-erase or Page-programming.  
WREN (command "06" is not required to issue before resume. Resume to another suspend operation requires  
latency time of 100us(from Program Suspend Resume)/200us(from Erase Suspend Resume).  
Please note that, if "performance enhance mode" is executed during suspend operation, the device can not be  
resume. To restart the write command, disable the "performance enhance mode" is required. After the "performance  
enhance mode" is disable, the write-resume command is effective.  
9-39. No Operation (NOP)  
The “No Operation” command is only able to terminate the Reset Enable (RSTEN) command and will not affect any  
other command.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
9-40. Software Reset (Reset-Enable (RSTEN) and Reset (RST))  
The Software Reset operation combines two instructions: Reset-Enable (RSTEN) command and Reset (RST)  
command. It returns the device to standby mode. All the volatile bits and settings will be cleared then, which makes  
the device return to the default status as power on.  
To execute Reset command (RST), the Reset-Enable (RSTEN) command must be executed first to perform the  
Reset operation. If there is any other command to interrupt after the Reset-Enable command, the Reset-Enable will  
be invalid.  
Both SPI (8 clocks) and QPI (2 clocks) command cycle can accept by this instruction. The SIO[3:1] are don't care  
when during SPI mode.  
If the Reset command is executed during program or erase operation, the operation will be disabled, the data under  
processing could be damaged or lost.  
The reset time is different depending on the last operation. For details, please refer to "Table 13. Reset Timing-  
(Other Operation)" for tREADY2.

9-41. Read SFDP Mode (RDSFDP)  
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.  
The sequence of issuing RDSFDP instruction is CS# goes low→send RDSFDP instruction (5Ah)→send 3 address  
bytes on SI pin→send 1 dummy byte on SI pin→read SFDP code on SO→to end RDSFDP operation can use CS#  
to high at any time during data out.  
SFDP is a JEDEC Standard, JESD216.

10. RESET  
Driving the RESET# pin low for a period of tRLRH or longer will reset the device. After reset cycle, the device is at  
the following states:  
- Standby mode  
- All the volatile bits such as WEL/WIP/SRAM lock bit will return to the default status as power on.  
- 3-byte address mode  
If the device is under programming or erasing, driving the RESET# pin low will also terminate the operation and data  
could be lost. During the resetting cycle, the SO data becomes high impedance and the current will be reduced to  
minimum.

11. POWER-ON STATE  
The device is at below states when power-up:  
- Standby mode (please note it is not deep power-down mode)  
- Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset  
The device must not be selected during power-up and power-down stage unless the VCC achieves below correct  
level:  
- VCC minimum at power-up stage and then after a delay of tVSL  
- GND at power-down  
Please note that a pull-up resistor on CS# may ensure a safe and proper power-up/down level.  
An internal power-on reset (POR) circuit may protect the device from data corruption and inadvertent data change  
during power up state. When VCC is lower than VWI (POR threshold voltage value), the internal logic is reset and  
the flash device has no response to any command.  
For further protection on the device, if the VCC does not reach the VCC minimum level, the correct operation is not  
guaranteed. The write, erase, and program command should be sent after the below time delay:  
- tVSL after VCC reached VCC minimum level  
The device can accept read command after VCC reached VCC minimum and a time delay of tVSL.  
Please refer to the "power-up timing".  
Note:  
- To stabilize the VCC level, the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to package pins is recommend-  
ed. (generally around 0.1uF)  
- At power-down stage, the VCC drops below VWI level, all operations are disable and device has no response  
to any command. The data corruption might occur during the stage while a write, program, erase cycle is in  
progress.

Notes:  
1. tCH + tCL must be greater than or equal to 1/ Frequency.  
2. Typical values given for TA=25 C. Not 100% tested.  
°
3. Only applicable as a constraint for a WRSR instruction when SRWD is set at 1.  
4. Test condition is shown as Figure 74 and Figure 75.  
5. While programming consecutive bytes, Page Program instruction provides optimized timings by selecting to pro-  
gram the whole 256 bytes or only a few bytes between 1~256 bytes.  
6. By default dummy cycle value. Please refer to the "Table 1. Read performance Comparison". Please note that  
only MX25U25635FZ4I-08G support 10 dummy cycles, which provide maximum clock rate=133MHz.  
7. Please note that only MX25U25635FZ4I-08G supports tCH/tCL=3.3 ns. All other products can only support 4.5ns.

13. OPERATING CONDITIONS  
At Device Power-Up and Power-Down  
AC timing illustrated in Figure 76 and Figure 77 are for the supply voltages and the control signals at device power-  
up and power-down. If the timing in the figures is ignored, the device will not operate correctly.  
During power-up and power-down, CS# needs to follow the voltage applied on VCC to keep the device not to be  
selected. The CS# can be driven low when VCC reach Vcc(min.) and wait a period of tVSL.
