Notice On Data Sheet Designations  
Spansion Inc. issues data sheets with Advance Information or Preliminary designations to advise readers of  
product information or intended specifications throughout the product life cycle, including development,  
qualification, initial production, and full production. In all cases, however, readers are encouraged to verify  
that they have the latest information before finalizing their design. The following descriptions of Spansion data  
sheet designations are presented here to highlight their presence and definitions.  
Advance Information  
The Advance Information designation indicates that Spansion Inc. is developing one or more specific  
products, but has not committed any design to production. Information presented in a document with this  
designation is likely to change, and in some cases, development on the product may discontinue. Spansion  
Inc. therefore places the following conditions upon Advance Information content:  
“This document contains information on one or more products under development at Spansion Inc.  
The information is intended to help you evaluate this product. Do not design in this product without  
contacting the factory. Spansion Inc. reserves the right to change or discontinue work on this proposed  
product without notice.”  
Preliminary  
The Preliminary designation indicates that the product development has progressed such that a commitment  
to production has taken place. This designation covers several aspects of the product life cycle, including  
product qualification, initial production, and the subsequent phases in the manufacturing process that occur  
before full production is achieved. Changes to the technical specifications presented in a Preliminary  
document should be expected while keeping these aspects of production under consideration. Spansion  
places the following conditions upon Preliminary content:  
“This document states the current technical specifications regarding the Spansion product(s)  
described herein. The Preliminary status of this document indicates that product qualification has been  
completed, and that initial production has begun. Due to the phases of the manufacturing process that  
require maintaining efficiency and quality, this document may be revised by subsequent versions or  
modifications due to changes in technical specifications.”  
Combination  
Some data sheets contain a combination of products with different designations (Advance Information,  
Preliminary, or Full Production). This type of document distinguishes these products and their designations  
wherever necessary, typically on the first page, the ordering information page, and pages with the DC  
Characteristics table and the AC Erase and Program table (in the table notes). The disclaimer on the first  
page refers the reader to the notice on this page.  
Full Production (No Designation on Document)  
When a product has been in production for a period of time such that no changes or only nominal changes  
are expected, the Preliminary designation is removed from the data sheet. Nominal changes may include  
those affecting the number of ordering part numbers available, such as the addition or deletion of a speed  
option, temperature range, package type, or VIO range. Changes may also include those needed to clarify a  
description or to correct a typographical error or incorrect specification. Spansion Inc. applies the following  
conditions to documents in this category:  
“This document states the current technical specifications regarding the Spansion product(s)  
described herein. Spansion Inc. deems the products to have been in sufficient production volume such  
that subsequent versions of this document are not expected to change. However, typographical or  
specification corrections, or modifications to the valid combinations offered may occur.”  
Questions regarding these document designations may be directed to your local sales office.

2. Overview  
2.1  
General Description  
The Spansion 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.

2.2.2  
Known Differences from Prior Generations  
Error Reporting  
2.2.2.1  
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.  
2.2.2.2  
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 Secure Silicon  
Region (OTP) on page 67.

2.2.2.3  
2.2.2.4  
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.  
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.  
2.2.2.5  
2.2.2.6  
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 Extended Address on page 55.  
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.  
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 Spansion parallel interface NOR memory  
families.

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

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.

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.  
3.3  
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.  
3.4  
3.5  
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.  
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.

3.8  
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).  
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).  
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.  
3.9  
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).

3.10 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.  
3.11 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. However, the VIO supply voltage must also be above VCC -200 mV until the VIO supply voltage is  
> 1.65V, i.e. the VIO supply voltage must not lag behind the VCC supply voltage by more than 200 mV during  
power up, until the VIO supply voltage reaches its minimum operating level.  
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.  
3.12 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.  
3.13 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.  
3.14 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.

A device internal signal may be connected to the package connector. The connection may be used by  
Spansion 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.

4.1.1  
SPI Clock Modes  
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

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.  
4.1.2  
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.

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.  
22  
S25FL128S and S25FL256S  
S25FL128S_256S_00_07 March 17, 2014  
 
D a t a S h e e t  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.

4.3.5  
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 Power-On (Cold) Reset on page 38.  
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 POR followed by Hardware  
Reset on page 38.  
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.  
4.3.6  
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.  
4.3.7  
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.

4.3.8  
4.3.9  
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.  
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.  
4.3.10  
4.3.11  
4.3.12  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
4.3.15  
4.3.16  
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.  
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.  
4.3.17  
4.3.18  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.

4.3.23  
4.3.24  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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 section (page 55) of this document.  
4.5.1  
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.  
4.5.2  
4.5.3  
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.  
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.

Power Supply Voltages  
Some package options provide access to a separate input and output buffer power supply called VIO.  
Packages which do not provide the separate VIO connection, internally connect the device VIO to VCC. For  
these packages the references to VIO are then also references to VCC  
.

5.3  
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 kΩ) 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 5.3. 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 5.4. 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).

Reset  
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 5.3 on page 35, Table 5.2 on page 35,  
and Table 6.3 on page 39. 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.

6.3.2  
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.

Software Interface  
This section discusses the features and behaviors most relevant to host system software that interacts with  
S25FL128S and S25FL256S memory devices.  
8. Address Space Maps  
8.1  
8.1.1  
Overview  
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.  
8.1.2  
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.  
8.2  
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 Ordering Information on page 150.

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 Device ID and Common Flash  
Interface (ID-CFI) Address Map on page 134 for the tables defining the contents of the ID-CFI address space.  
The ID-CFI address space is programmed by Spansion and read-only for the host system.  
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 Spansion with a 128-bit random number. Only Spansion  
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 Spansion.  
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  
Spansion.  
The remaining regions are erased when shipped from Spansion, and are available for programming of  
additional permanent data.  
Refer to Figure 8.1, OTP Address Space on page 58 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 Spansion, 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 Spansion. 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.

D a t a S h e e t  
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 0s. See Block Protection on page 68 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.  
8.5.2  
Configuration Register 1 (CR1)  
Related Commands: Read Configuration Register (RDCR 35h), Write Registers (WRR 01h). The  
Configuration Register bits can be changed using the WRR command with sixteen input cycles.  
The configuration register controls certain interface and data protection functions.

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 Spansion. 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 Read Memory Array Commands on page 93 for  
more information on the DLP.

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 Spansion. 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 Spansion. 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 Spansion. 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.

The Bank Address register supplies additional high order bits of the main flash array byte boundary address  
for legacy commands that supply only the low order 24 bits of address. The Bank Address is used as the high  
bits of address (above A23) for all 3-byte address commands when EXTADD=0. The Bank Address is not  
used when EXTADD = 1 and traditional 3-byte address commands are instead required to provide all four

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 Spansion, 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 IOs will output 0;  
subsequently, the 2nd clock edge all I/Os 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.

9. Data Protection  
9.1  
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 OTP Address Space on page 57,  
One Time Program Array Commands on page 121, and OTP Read (OTPR 4Bh) on page 122.  
9.1.1  
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.  
9.1.2  
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. The  
valid address range for OTP Program is depicted in Figure 8.1, OTP Address Space on page 58. 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.  
9.1.3  
9.1.4  
Spansion Programmed Random Number  
Spansion 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.  
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 8.4, OTP Address Space on page 57.  
9.2  
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)

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.  
9.3.1  
Freeze bit  
Bit0 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.  
9.3.2  
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.

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 9.1, Advanced Sector Protection Overview on page 69.  
Block Protection and ASP protection settings for each sector are logically ORd 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 Block Protection on page 68 for full details of the BP2-0 bits.

but erased as a group  
2)  
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.

D a t a S h e e t  
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.  
9.4.1  
ASP Register  
The ASP register is used to permanently configure the behavior of Advanced Sector Protection (ASP)  
features. See Table 8.17, ASP Register (ASPR) on page 65.  
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 Status Register 1 (SR1) on page 59 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.  
9.4.2  
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:  
1. Each PPB is individually programmed to 0 and all are erased to 1 in parallel.  
2. 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.  
3. The state of the PPB for a given sector can be verified by using the PPB Read command.  
9.4.3  
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.

9.4.4  
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.  
9.4.5  
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

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.  
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 0s. 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 1s when shipped from Spansion. 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.

10. 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.  
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 Command Protocol on page 22.  
– 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.

10.1.2  
10.1.3  
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.  
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.  
10.1.3.1 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

D a t a S h e e t  
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.  
10.1.3.2 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.  
10.1.4  
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.  
10.1.5  
10.1.6  
10.1.7  
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.  
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.  
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.  
10.1.8  
10.1.9  
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.  
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.

10.2 Identification Commands  
10.2.1  
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.

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 Spansion.  
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 ID-  
CFI Address Space on page 57 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Write Enable (WREN 06h)  
The Write Enable (WREN) command sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the Status Register 1 (SR1[1])

10.3.11 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.  
88  
S25FL128S and S25FL256S  
S25FL128S_256S_00_07 March 17, 2014  
D a t a S h e e t  
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.

10.3.12 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.

10.3.13 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.

10.3.14 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.

10.4 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 “dont 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.

D a t a S h e e t  
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.

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.

The address is followed by zero or eight dummy cycles depending on the latency code set in the

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

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 devices  
internal circuitry enough time to read from the initial address. During the dummy cycles, the data value on SI  
is a “dont care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of  
SCK (refer to Table 8.12, Latency Codes for SDR Enhanced High Performance on page 62).  
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

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 devices internal circuitry  
enough time to set up for the initial address. During the dummy cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3 is a “dont  
care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK  
(refer to Table 8.12, Latency Codes for SDR Enhanced High Performance on page 62).  
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.

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 “dont care” and may be high  
impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK (Table 8.12, Latency  
Codes for SDR Enhanced High Performance on page 62). 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 “dont 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 10.36; 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.  
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 devices 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 “dont  
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.

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 devices internal  
circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3  
are “dont 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 8.12, Latency Codes for SDR Enhanced High Performance  
on page 62). 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.

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 10.38 on page 102 or  
Figure 10.40 on page 103; 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  
devices 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

contention, for the host system to turn off the IO0-IO3 signal outputs (make them high impedance) during the  
last “dont 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.

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 66 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 “dont care” and may be high impedance.  
The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK (Table 8.12, Latency Codes for SDR  
Enhanced High Performance on page 62). 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.

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 10.41 on page 104 and Figure 10.43 on page 105. 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 10.42 and Figure 10.44, 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 8.5.11, SPI DDR Data Learning  
Registers on page 66 for more details.

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 66 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 8.11, Latency Codes for DDR High Performance on page 61 or Table 8.13, Latency  
Codes for DDR Enhanced High Performance on page 62). 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 devices internal  
circuitry enough time to access the initial address. During these latency cycles, the data value on SI (IO0) and  
SO (IO1) are “dont 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 10.46 and Figure 10.48 on page 107. 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 10.47 on page 107, 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.

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 8.5.11, SPI DDR Data Learning  
Registers on page 66 for more details.

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 66 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  
devices internal circuitry enough time to access the initial address. During these latency cycles, the data  
value on IO0-IO3 are “dont 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 8.11, Latency Codes for DDR High  
Performance on page 61). 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 10.49 and  
Figure 10.51. 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 10.50  
on page 109 and Figure 10.52 on page 110 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 instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest

10.5.1 Program Granularity  
10.5.1.1 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.  
10.5.1.2 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.

10.5.2  
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.

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.  
QPP requires programming to be done one full page at a time. While less than a full page of data may be  
loaded for programming, the entire page is considered programmed, any locations not filled with data will be  
left as ones, the same page must not be programmed more than once.  
All other functions of QPP are identical to Page Program. The QPP command sequence is shown in  
Figure 10.55.

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 10.8, Program  
Suspend AC Parameters on page 131.  
See Table 10.6, Commands Allowed During Program or Erase Suspend on page 120 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 10.8, Program Suspend AC Parameters  
on page 131.

10.6 Erase Flash Array Commands  
10.6.1 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.

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.

D a t a S h e e t  
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.

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 0s. 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.

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 10.9, Erase Suspend AC Parameters on page 131.  
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 10.6, Commands Allowed During Program or Erase Suspend on page 120 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.

D a t a S h e e t  
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 10.9, Erase Suspend AC Parameters on page 131.

10.7 One Time Program Array Commands  
10.7.1 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 8.4, OTP Address Space on page 57 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).

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 OTP Address Space on page 57 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.

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.

DYB Read (DYBRD E0h)  
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

10.8.10 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.

10.8.11 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.

10.8.12 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.

10.9 Reset Commands  
10.9.1 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.

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 “dont care” during these  
cycles.

ID-CFI space must be read because the actual length of the ID-CFI  
information is longer than can be indicated by this legacy single byte

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 Spansion 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.

The device is shipped from Spansion 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 0s).  
The Configuration Register 1 contains 00h.  
The Autoboot register contains 00h.
