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 S25FS-S family 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  
TheS25FS-S family connects 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 2-bit (Dual I/O or DIO) and 4-bit  
wide Quad I/O (QIO) or Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) serial commands. This multiple width interface is  
called SPI Multi-I/O or MIO. In addition, there are Double Data Rate (DDR) read commands for QIO and QPI  
that transfer address and read data on both edges of the clock.  
The FS-S Eclipse architecture features a Page Programming Buffer that allows up to 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 S25FS-S family  
devices at the higher clock rates supported, with Quad or DDR Quad commands, the instruction read transfer  
rate can match or exceed traditional parallel interface, asynchronous, NOR flash memories, while reducing  
signal count dramatically.  
The S25FS-S family products offer high densities coupled with the flexibility and fast performance required by  
a variety of mobile or embedded applications. They are an excellent solution for systems with limited space,  
signal connections, and power. They are ideal for code shadowing to RAM, executing code directly (XIP), and  
storing reprogrammable data.

2.2.2  
Known Differences from Prior Generations  
2.2.2.1  
Error Reporting  
FL-K and FL-P memories either do not have error status bits or do not set them if program or erase is  
attempted on a protected sector. The FS-S and FL-S families do 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 these cases the program or erase operation did not  
complete as requested by the command. The P_ERR or E_ERR bits and the WIP bit will be set to and  
remain 1 in SR1V. The clear Status Register command must be sent to clear the errors and return the device  
to standby state.  
2.2.2.2  
2.2.2.3  
Secure Silicon Region (OTP)  
The FS-S size and format (address map) of the One-Time Program area is different from FL-K and FL-P  
generations. The method for protecting each portion of the OTP area is different. For additional details see  
Secure Silicon Region (OTP) on page 76.  
Configuration Register Freeze Bit  
The Configuration Register 1 Freeze bit CR1V[0], locks the state of the Block Protection bits (SR1NV[4:2] and  
SR1V[4:2]), TBPARM_O bit (CR1NV[2]), and TBPROT_O bit (CR1NV[5]), as in prior generations. In the  
FS-S and FL-S families the Freeze bit also locks the state of the Configuration Register 1 BPNV_O bit  
(CR1NV[3]), and the Secure Silicon Region (OTP) area.  
2.2.2.4  
Sector Erase Commands  
The command for erasing a 4-kbyte sector is supported only for use on 4-kbyte parameter sectors at the top  
or bottom of the FS-S device address space.  
The command for erasing an 8-kbyte area (two 4-kbyte sectors) is not supported.  
The command for erasing a 32-kbyte area (eight 4-kbyte sectors) is not supported.  
The Sector Erase command (SE) for FS-S 64-kbyte sectors is supported when the configuration option for  
uniform 64-kbyte sector is selected or, when the hybrid configuration option for 4-kbyte parameter sectors  
with 64-kbyte uniform sectors is used. When the hybrid option is in use, the 64-kbyte erase command may be  
used to erase the 32-kbyte of address space adjacent to the group of eight 4-kbyte sectors. The 64-kbyte  
erase command in this case is erasing the 64-kbyte sector that is partially overlaid by the group of eight  
4-kbyte sectors without affecting the 4-kbyte sectors. This provides erase control over the 32 kbytes of  
address space without also forcing the erase of the 4-kbyte sectors. This is different behavior than  
implemented in the FL-S family. In the FL-S family, the 64-kbyte Sector Erase command can be applied to a  
64-kbyte block of 4-kbyte sectors to erase the entire block of parameter sectors in a single operation. In the  
FS-S, the parameter sectors do not fill an entire 64-kbyte block so only the 4-kbyte Parameter Sector Erase  
(20h) is used to erase parameter sectors.  
The erase command for a 256-kbyte sector replaces the 64-kbyte erase command when the configuration  
option for 256-kbyte uniform logical sectors is used.

Deep Power-Down  
The Deep Power-Down (DPD) function is not supported in the FS-S and FL-S family devices.  
WRR Single Register Write  
In some legacy SPI devices, a Write Registers (WRR) command with only one data byte would update Status  
Register 1 and clear some bits in Configuration Register 1, including the Quad Mode bit. This could result in  
unintended exit from Quad Mode. The S25FS-S family only updates Status Register 1 when a single data  
byte is provided. The Configuration Register 1 is not modified in this case.

New Features  
The FS-S family introduces new features to Spansion SPI category memories:  
Single 1.8V power supply for core and I/O voltage.  
Configurable initial read latency (number of dummy cycles) for faster initial access time or higher clock rate  
read commands  
Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI, 4-4-4) read mode in which all transfers are 4 bits wide, including  
instructions  
JEDEC JESD216 standard, Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) that provide device feature and  
configuration information.  
Evaluate Erase Status command to determine if the last erase operation on a sector completed  
successfully. This command can be used to detect incomplete erase due to power loss or other causes.  
This command can be helpful to Flash File System software in file system recovery after a power loss.  
Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) Permanent Protection. A bit is added to the ASP register to provide the  
option to make protection of the Persistent Protection Bits (PPB) permanent. Also, when one of the two  
ASP protection modes is selected, all OTP configuration bits in all registers are protected from further  
programming so that all OTP configuration settings are made permanent. The OTP address space is not  
protected by the selection of an ASP protection mode. The Freeze bit (CR1V[0]) may be used to protect the  
OTP Address Space.

data is modified by the write operation, in the same way that volatile data is modified – as  
a single operation. The non-volatile data appears to the host system to be updated by the  
single write command, without the need for separate commands for erase and reprogram  
of adjacent, but unaffected data.

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 S25FS-S family reduces 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 S25FS-S family uses the industry standard single bit Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and also supports  
optional extension commands for 2-bit (Dual) and 4-bit (Quad) wide serial transfers. This multiple width  
interface is called SPI Multi-I/O or SPI-MIO.

Multiple Input / Output (MIO)  
Traditional SPI single bit wide commands (Single or SIO) send information from the host to the memory only  
on the Serial Input (SI) signal. Data may be sent back to the host serially on the Serial Output (SO) signal.  
Dual or Quad Input / Output (I/O) commands send instructions to the memory only on the SI/IO0 signal.  
Address or data is sent 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.  
QPI Mode transfers all instructions, address, and data from the host to the memory as four bit (nibble) groups  
on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. Data is returned to the host similarly as four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2,  
and IO3.  
3.3  
3.4  
Serial Clock (SCK)  
This input signal provides the synchronization reference for the SPI interface. Instructions, addresses, or data  
input are latched on the rising edge of the SCK signal. Data output changes after the falling edge of SCK, in  
SDR commands, and after every edge in DDR commands.  
Chip Select (CS#)  
The Chip Select signal indicates when a command is transferring information to or from the device 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. The device will be in the Standby Power mode, unless an internal  
embedded operation is in progress. An embedded operation is indicated by the Status Register 1  
Write-In-Progress bit (SR1V[1]) set to 1, until the operation is completed. Some example embedded  
operations are: Program, Erase, or Write Registers (WRR) operations.  
Driving the CS# input to the 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.  
3.5  
3.6  
3.7  
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 or WRAR command and while the Status Register Write  
Disable (SRWD_NV) bit of Status Register 1 (SR1NV[7]) is set to a 1, it is not possible to write to Status  
Register 1 or Configuration Register 1 related registers. In this situation, a WRR command is ignored, a  
WRAR command selecting SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, or CR1V is ignored, and no error is set.  
This prevents any alteration of the Block Protection settings. As a consequence, all the data bytes in the  
memory area that are protected by the Block Protection feature are also hardware protected against data  
modification if WP# is Low during a WRR or WRAR command with SRWD_NV set to 1.

D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
The WP# function is not available when the Quad Mode is enabled (CR1V[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 resistance; when unconnected, WP# is at VIH and may be left unconnected in the  
host system if not used for Quad Mode or protection.  
3.8  
IO3 / RESET#  
IO3 is used for input and output during Quad Mode (CR1V[1]=1) for receiving addresses, and data to be  
programmed (values are latched on rising edge of the SCK signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling  
edge of SCK, in SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).  
The IO3 / RESET# signal may also be used to initiate the hardware reset function when the reset feature is  
enabled by writing Configuration Register 2 non-volatile bit 5 (CR2V[5]=1). The input is only treated as  
RESET# when the device is not in Quad-I/O mode, CR1V[1] = 0, or when CS# is high. When Quad I/O mode  
is in use, CR1V[1]=1, and the device is selected with CS# low, the IO3 / RESET# is used only as IO3 for  
information transfer. When CS# is high, the IO3 / RESET# is not in use for information transfer and is used as  
the RESET# input. By conditioning the reset operation on CS# high during Quad Mode, the reset function  
remains available during Quad Mode.  
When the system enters a reset condition, the CS# signal must be driven high as part of the reset process  
and the IO3 / RESET# signal is driven low. When CS# goes high the IO3 / RESET# input transitions from  
being IO3 to being the RESET# input. The reset condition is then detected when CS# remains high and the  
IO3 / RESET# signal remains low for tRP. If a reset is not intended, the system is required to actively drive  
IO3 / Reset# to high along with CS# being driven high at the end of a transfer of data to the memory.  
Following transfers of data to the host system, the memory will drive IO3 high during tCS. This will ensure that  
IO3 / Reset is not left floating or being pulled slowly to high by the internal or an external passive pull-up.  
Thus, an unintended reset is not triggered by the IO3 / RESET# not being recognized as high before the end  
of tRP  
.
The IO3 / RESET# signal is unused when the reset feature is disabled (CR2V[5]=0).  
The IO3 / RESET# signal has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if  
not used for Quad Mode or the reset function. The internal pull-up will hold IO3 / RESET high after the host  
system has actively driven the signal high and then stops driving the signal.  
Note that IO3 / RESET# cannot be shared by more than one SPI-MIO memory if any of them are operating in  
Quad I/O mode as IO3 being driven to or from one selected memory may look like a reset signal to a second  
non-selected memory sharing the same IO3 / RESET# signal.

4.1.1  
SPI Clock Modes  
Single Data Rate (SDR)  
The S25FS-S family 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 0 timing simply means the 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 0.  
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.

4.2  
Command Protocol  
All communication between the host system and S25FS-S family memory devices is in the form of units  
called commands.  
All commands begin with an 8-bit 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  
sequentially between the host system and memory device.  
Command protocols are also classified by a numerical nomenclature using three numbers to reference the  
transfer width of three command phases:  
instruction;  
address and instruction modifier (Continuous Read mode bits);  
data.  
Single bit wide commands start with an instruction and may provide an address or data, all sent only on the SI  
signal. Data may be sent back to the host serially on the SO signal. This is referenced as a 1-1-1 command  
protocol for single bit width instruction, single bit width address and modifier, single bit data.  
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. This is referenced as 1-2-2 for Dual I/O  
and 1-4-4 for Quad I/O command protocols.  
The S25FS-S family also supports a QPI Mode in which all information is transferred in 4-bit width, including  
the instruction, address, modifier, and data. This is referenced as a 4-4-4 command protocol.  
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 8-bit (byte) instruction. The instruction selects the type of information  
transfer or device operation to be performed. The instruction transfers occur on SCK rising edges.  
However, some read commands are modified by a prior read command, such that the instruction is implied  
from the earlier command. This is called Continuous Read mode. When the device is in Continuous Read  
mode, the instruction bits are not transmitted at the beginning of the command because the instruction is  
the same as the read command that initiated the Continuous Read mode. In Continuous Read mode the  
command will begin with the read address. Thus, Continuous Read mode removes eight instruction bits  
from each read command in a series of same type read commands.  
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.  
In legacy SPI mode, 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.  
In QPI Mode, the width of all transfers is a 4-bit wide (Quad) transfer on the IO0-IO3 signals.  
Dual and Quad I/O read instructions send an instruction modifier called Continuous Read mode bits,  
following the address, to indicate whether the next command will be of the same type with an implied,  
rather than an explicit, instruction. These mode bits initiate or end the Continuous Read mode. In  
Continuous Read mode, the next command thus does not provide an instruction byte, only a new address  
and mode bits. This reduces the time needed to send each command when the same command type is  
repeated in a sequence of commands. The mode bit transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR  
commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.

The address or mode bits may be followed by write data to be stored in the memory device or by a read  
latency period before read data is returned to the host.  
Write data bit transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR  
commands.  
SCK continues to toggle during any read access latency period. The latency may be zero to several SCK  
cycles (also referred to as dummy cycles). At the end of the read latency cycles, the first read data bits are  
driven from the outputs on SCK falling edge at the end of the last read latency cycle. The first read data  
bits are considered transferred to the host on the following SCK rising edge. Each following transfer occurs  
on the next SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.  
If the command returns read data to the host, the device continues sending data transfers until the host  
takes the CS# signal high. The CS# signal can be driven high after any transfer in the read data sequence.  
This will terminate the command.  
At the end of a command that does not return data, the host drives the CS# input high. The CS# signal  
must go high after the eighth bit, of a stand alone instruction or, of the last write data byte that is  
transferred. That is, the CS# signal must be driven high when the number of bits after the CS# signal was  
driven low is an exact multiple of eight bits. If the CS# signal does not go high exactly at the eight bit  
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. The 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.

4.3.1  
Power-Off  
When the core supply voltage is at or below the VDD (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.  
4.3.2  
Low-Power Hardware Data Protection  
When VDD is less than VDD (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 VDD (Low) voltage for tPD time, then rises to VDD  
(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  
A configuration option is provided to allow IO3 to be used as a hardware reset input when the device is not in  
Quad Mode or when it is in Quad Mode and CS# is high. When IO3 / 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 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 (Legacy SPI Mode)  
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 CS# low, and drives the  
Write Protect (WP#) and IO3/RESET signals as needed for the instruction. However, WP# is only relevant  
during instruction cycles of a WRR or WRAR command and is otherwise ignored. IO3/RESET# is driven high  
when the device is not in Quad Mode (CR1V[1]=0) or QPI Mode (CR2V[6]=0) and hardware reset is not  
required.  
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 I/O, Quad 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  
4.3.8  
Instruction Cycle (QPI Mode)  
In QPI Mode, when CR2V[6]=1, instructions are transferred 4 bits per cycle. In this mode, instruction cycles  
are the same as a Quad Input Cycle. See Quad Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer on page 30.  
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 host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, 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 Cycle states.

4.3.9  
Single Latency (Dummy) Cycle  
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main flash  
memory array before transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code  
in the Configuration Register (CR2V[3:0]). During the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# high, CS# low.  
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. 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. 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. 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 (CR2V[3:0]). During the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# high, CS# low.  
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.  
4.3.13  
4.3.14  
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. 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.  
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. In QPI Mode  
the Quad I/O Read and Page Program commands transfer four data bits to the memory in each cycle,  
including the instruction cycles. The host keeps 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 QPI Mode Page  
Program, the host returns CS# high following the delivery of data to be programmed and the interface returns  
to standby state.

4.3.15  
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 (CR2V[3:0]). During the latency cycles, the host keeps 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.  
4.3.16  
4.3.17  
4.3.18  
Quad Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer  
The Quad I/O Read returns data to the host four bits in each cycle. The host keeps 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 Quad Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer  
The DDR Quad I/O Read command sends address, and mode bits to the memory on all the IO signals. Four  
bits are transferred on the rising edge of SCK and four bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps  
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 (CR2V[3:0]). During the latency cycles, the host keeps 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, or Quad Output Cycle, depending on  
the instruction.  
4.3.19  
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 CS# low.  
The next interface state continues to be DDR Quad Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the  
command.  
4.4  
Configuration Register Effects on the Interface  
The Configuration Register 2 volatile bits 3 to 0 (CR2V[3:0]) select the variable latency for all array read  
commands except Read and Read SDFP (RSFDP). Read always has zero latency cycles. RSFDP always  
has 8 latency cycles. The variable latency is also used in the OTPR, and RDAR commands.  
The Configuration Register bit 1 (CR1V[1]) selects whether Quad Mode is enabled to switch WP# to IO2  
function, RESET# to IO3 function, and thus allow Quad I/O Read and QPI Mode commands. Quad Mode  
must also be selected to allow DDR Quad I/O Read 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 of this document.  
4.5.1  
Power-Up  
When the core supply voltage is at or below the VDD (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 VDD is less than VDD (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 non-volatile memory and register data modifying commands consist of a clock  
pulse count that is a multiple of eight bit transfers (byte boundary) before executing them. A command not  
ending on an 8-bit (byte) boundary is ignored and no error status is set for the command.

Input Signal Overshoot  
During DC conditions, input or I/O signals should remain equal to or between VSS and VDD. During voltage  
transitions, inputs or I/Os may overshoot VSS to -1.0V or overshoot to VDD +1.0V, for periods up to 20 ns.

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  
VDD) until VDD reaches the correct value as follows:  
VDD (min) at power-up, and then for a further delay of tPU  
VSS at power-down  
A simple pull-up resistor 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 VDD rises above  
the minimum VDD threshold (see Figure 5.3). However, correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if  
VDD returns below VDD (min) during tPU. No command should be sent to the device until the end of tPU  
.
The device draws IPOR during tPU. After power-up (tPU), the device is in Standby mode, draws CMOS standby  
current (ISB), and the WEL bit is reset.  
During power-down or voltage drops below VDD(cut-off), the voltage must drop below VDD(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 VDD stays  
above VDD(cut-off) the part will stay initialized and will work correctly when VDD is again above VDD(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 VDD supply at the device. Each  
device in a system should have the VDD rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package supply  
connection (this capacitor is generally of the order of 0.1 µf).

6.3.1  
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 VDD rises above the minimum VDD threshold. See Figure 5.3 on page 35, Table 5.3 on page 34.  
The device must not be selected (CS# to go high with VDD) during power-up (tPU), i.e. no commands may be  
sent to the device until the end of tPU  
.
The IO3 / RESET# signal functions as the RESET# input when CS# is high for more than tCS time or when  
Quad Mode is not enabled CR1V[1]=0.  
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  
IO3 / RESET# Input Initiated Hardware (Warm) Reset  
The IO3 / RESET# signal functions as the RESET# input when CS# is high for more than tCS time or when  
Quad Mode is not enabled CR1V[1]=0. The IO3 / RESET# input has an internal pull-up to VDD and may be  
left unconnected if Quad Mode is not used. The tCS delay after CS# goes high gives the memory or host  
system time to drive IO3 high after its use as a Quad Mode I/O signal while CS# was low. The internal pull-up  
to VDD will then hold IO3 / RESET# high until the host system begins driving IO3 / RESET#. The  
IO3 / RESET# input is ignored while CS# remains high during tCS, to avoid an unintended Reset operation. If  
CS# is driven low to start a new command, IO3 / RESET# is used as IO3.  
When the device is not in Quad Mode or, when CS# is high, and IO3 / RESET# transitions from VIH to VIL  
for > tRP, following tCS, 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 command is independent of the state of IO3 / RESET#. If IO3 / RESET# is high or unconnected,  
and the RESET instruction is issued, the device will perform software reset.  
Additional IO3 RESET# Notes:  
IO3 / RESET# must be high for tRS following tPU or tRPH, before going low again to initiate a hardware  
reset.  
When IO3 / RESET# is driven low for at least a minimum period of time (tRP), following tCS, the device  
terminates any operation in progress, makes all outputs high impedance, and ignores all read/write  
commands for the duration of tRPH. The device resets the interface to standby state.  
If Quad Mode and the IO3 / RESET# feature are enabled, the host system should not drive IO3 low during  
tCS, to avoid driver contention on IO3. Immediately following commands that transfer data to the host in  
Quad Mode, e.g. Quad I/O Read, the memory drives IO3 / Reset high during tCS, to avoid an unintended  
Reset operation. Immediately following commands that transfer data to the memory in Quad Mode, e.g.  
Page Program, the host system should drive IO3 / Reset high during tCS, to avoid an unintended Reset  
operation.  
If Quad Mode is not enabled, and if CS# is low at the time IO3 / RESET# is asserted low, CS# must return  
high during tRPH before it can be asserted low again after tRH  
.

Software Interface  
This section discusses the features and behaviors most relevant to host system software that interacts with  
S25FS-S family memory devices.  
8. Address Space Maps  
8.1  
8.1.1  
Overview  
Extended Address  
The S25FS-S family supports 32-bit (4-byte) addresses to enable higher density devices than allowed by  
previous generation (legacy) SPI devices that supported only 24-bit (3-byte) addresses. A 24-bit, byte  
resolution, address can access only 16-Mbytes (128-Mbits) maximum density. A 32-bit, byte resolution,  
address allows direct addressing of up to a 4-Gbytes (32-Gbits) address space.  
Legacy commands continue to support 24-bit addresses for backward software compatibility. Extended 32-bit  
addresses are enabled in two ways:  
Extended address mode — a volatile Configuration Register bit that changes all legacy commands to  
expect 32 bits of address supplied from the host system.  
4-byte address commands — that perform both legacy and new functions, which always expect 32-bit  
address.  
The default condition for extended address mode, after power-up or reset, is controlled by a non-volatile  
configuration bit. The default extended address mode may be set for 24- or 32-bit addresses. This enables  
legacy software compatible access to the first 128 Mbits of a device or for the device to start directly in 32-bit  
address mode.  
The 128-Mbit density member of the S25FS-S family 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 24- or 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 physical sectors.  
The FS-S family physical sectors may be configured as a hybrid combination of eight 4-kB parameter sectors  
at the top or bottom of the address space with all but one of the remaining sectors being uniform size.  
Because the group of eight 4-kB parameter sectors is in total smaller than a uniform sector, the group of 4-kB  
physical sectors respectively overlay (replace) the top or bottom 32 kB of the highest or lowest address  
uniform sector.  
The Parameter Sector Erase commands (20h or 21h) must be used to erase the 4-kB sectors individually.  
The Sector (uniform block) Erase commands (D8h or DCh) must be used to erase any of the remaining  
sectors, including the portion of highest or lowest address sector that is not overlaid by the parameter sectors.  
The uniform block erase command has no effect on parameter sectors.  
Configuration Register 1 non-volatile bit 2 (CR1NV[2]) equal to 0 overlays the parameter sectors at the  
bottom of the lowest address uniform sector. CR1NV[2] = 1 overlays the parameter sectors at the top of the  
highest address uniform sector. See Section 8.6, Registers on page 59 for more information.  
There is also a configuration option to remove the 4-kB parameter sectors from the address map so that all  
sectors are uniform size. Configuration Register 3 volatile bit 3 (CR3V[3]) equal to 0 selects the hybrid sector

architecture with 4-kB parameter sectors. CR3V[3]=1 selects the uniform sector architecture without  
parameter sectors. Uniform physical sectors are 64 kB in FS128S and FS256S.  
Both devices also may be configured to use the Sector (uniform block) Erase commands to erase 256-kB  
logical blocks rather than individual 64-kB physical sectors. This configuration option (CR3V[1]=1) allows  
lower density devices to emulate the same Sector Erase behavior as higher density members of the family  
that use 256-kB physical sectors. This can simplify software migration to the higher density members of the  
family.

The RDID command (9Fh) reads information from a separate flash memory address space for device  
identification (ID) and Common Flash Interface (CFI) information. See Section 12.4, Device ID and Common  
Flash Interface (ID-CFI) Address Map on page 143 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.  
JEDEC JESD216 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) Space.  
The RSFDP command (5Ah) reads information from a separate flash memory address space for device  
identification, feature, and configuration information, in accord with the JEDEC JESD216 standard for Serial  
Flash Discoverable Parameters. The ID-CFI address space is incorporated as one of the SFDP parameters.  
See Section 12.3, Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) Address Map on page 142 for the tables  
defining the contents of the SFDP address space. The SFDP address space is programmed by Spansion and  
read-only for the host system.

OTP Address Space  
Each FS-S family 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 zeros in these bytes. Programming ones in these byte locations is ignored and does not  
affect the value programmed by Spansion. Attempting to program any zero in these byte locations will fail  
and set P_ERR.  
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 (CR1V[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 S25FS-S family 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.  
In legacy SPI memory devices the individual register bits could be a mixture of volatile, non-volatile, or One-  
Time Programmable (OTP) bits within the same register. In some configuration options the type of a register  
bit could change e.g. from non-volatile to volatile.  
The S25FS-S family uses separate non-volatile or volatile memory cell groups (areas) to implement the  
different register bit types. However, the legacy registers and commands continue to appear and behave as  
they always have for legacy software compatibility. There is a non-volatile and a volatile version of each  
legacy register when that legacy register has volatile bits or when the command to read the legacy register  
has zero read latency. When such a register is read the volatile version of the register is delivered. During  
Power-On Reset (POR), hardware reset, or software reset, the non-volatile version of a register is copied to  
the volatile version to provide the default state of the volatile register. When non-volatile register bits are  
written the non-volatile version of the register is erased and programmed with the new bit values and the  
volatile version of the register is updated with the new contents of the non-volatile version. When OTP bits are  
programmed the non-volatile version of the register is programmed and the appropriate bits are updated in  
the volatile version of the register. When volatile register bits are written, only the volatile version of the  
register has the appropriate bits updated.  
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.

Status Register Write Non-Volatile (SRWD_NV) SR1NV[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 Write Registers (WRR) and  
Write Any Register (WRAR) commands (that select Status Register 1 or Configuration Register 1) are  
ignored and not accepted for execution, effectively locking the state of the Status Register 1 and  
Configuration Register 1 (SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, or CR1V) bits, by making the registers read-only. If WP# is  
high, Status Register 1 and Configuration Register 1 may be changed by the WRR or WRAR commands. If  
SRWD_NV is 0, WP# has no effect and Status Register 1 and Configuration Register 1 may be changed by  
the WRR or WRAR commands. WP# has no effect on the writing of any other registers. The SRWD_NV bit  
has the same non-volatile endurance as the main flash array. The SRWD (SR1V[7]) bit serves only as a copy  
of the SRWD_NV bit to provide zero read latency.  
Program Error Default (P_ERR_D) SR1NV[6]: Provides the default state for the Programming Error Status  
in SR1V[6]. This bit is not user programmable.  
Erase Error (E_ERR) SR1V[5]: Provides the default state for the Erase Error Status in SR1V[5]. This bit is  
not user programmable.  
Block Protection (BP_NV2, BP_NV1, BP_NV0) SR1NV[4:2]: These bits define the main flash array area to  
be software-protected against Program and Erase commands. The BP bits are selected as either volatile or  
non-volatile, depending on the state of the BP non-volatile bit (BPNV_O) in the Configuration Register  
CR1NV[3]. When CR1NV[3]=0 the non-volatile version of the BP bits (SR1NV[4:2]) are used to control Block  
Protection and the WRR command writes SR1NV[4:2] and updates SR1V[4:2] to the same value. When  
CR1NV[3]=1 the volatile version of the BP bits (SR1V[4:2]) are used to control Block Protection and the WRR  
command writes SR1V[4:2] and does not affect SR1NV[4:2]. When one or more of the BP bits is set to 1, the  
relevant memory area is protected against Program and Erase. The Bulk Erase (BE) command can be  
executed only when the BP bits are cleared to 0’s. See Section 9.3, Block Protection on page 77 for a  
description of how the BP bit values select the memory array area protected. The non-volatile version of the  
BP bits have the same non-volatile endurance as the main flash array.  
Write Enable Latch Default (WEL_D) SR1NV[1]: Provides the default state for the WEL Status in SR1V[1].  
This bit is programmed by Spansion and is not user programmable.  
Write-In-Progress Default (WIP_D) SR1NV[0]: Provides the default state for the WIP Status in SR1V[0].

Status Register Write (SRWD) SR1V[7]: SRWD is a volatile copy of SR1NV[7]. This bit tracks any changes  
to the non-volatile version of this bit.  
Program Error (P_ERR) SR1V[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 program within a locked OTP region. When the Program Error bit is set to a 1 this bit can be cleared to 0  
with the Clear Status Register (CLSR) command. This is a read-only bit and is not affected by the WRR or  
WRAR commands.  
Erase Error (E_ERR) SR1V[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 cleared to 0 with the Clear Status Register (CLSR) command.  
This is a read-only bit and is not affected by the WRR or WRAR commands.  
Block Protection (BP2, BP1, BP0) SR1V[4:2]: These bits define the main flash array area to be software  
protected against program and Erase commands. The BP bits are selected as either volatile or non-volatile,  
depending on the state of the BP non-volatile bit (BPNV_O) in the Configuration Register CR1NV[3]. When  
CR1NV[3]=0 the non-volatile version of the BP bits (SR1NV[4:2]) are used to control Block Protection and the  
WRR command writes SR1NV[4:2] and updates SR1V[4:2] to the same value. When CR1NV[3]=1 the volatile  
version of the BP bits (SR1V[4:2]) are used to control Block Protection and the WRR command writes  
SR1V[4:2] and does not affect SR1NV[4:2]. When one or more of the BP bits is set to 1, the relevant memory  
area is protected against program and erase. The Bulk Erase (BE) command can be executed only when the  
BP bits are cleared to 0’s. See Section 9.3, Block Protection on page 77 for a description of how the BP bit  
values select the memory array area protected.

D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
Write Enable Latch (WEL) SR1V[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 1 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 or WRAR command does not affect this bit.  
Write-In-Progress (WIP) SR1V[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),  
Read Any Register (RDAR), Erase Suspend (ERSP), Program Suspend (PGSP), Clear Status Register  
(CLSR), and software reset (RESET) commands are 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 1, the WIP bit will remain set to 1 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.  
8.6.2  
Status Register 2 Volatile (SR2V)  
Related Commands: Read Status Register 2 (RDSR2 07h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h).

Erase Status (ESTAT) SR2V[2]: The Erase Status bit indicates whether the sector, selected by an  
immediately preceding Erase Status command, completed the last Erase command on that sector. The Erase  
Status command must be issued immediately before reading SR2V to get valid Erase Status. Reading SR2V  
during a program or erase suspend does not provide valid Erase Status. The Erase Status bit can be used by  
system software to detect any sector that failed its last erase operation. This can be used to detect erase  
operations failed due to loss of power during the erase operation.  
Erase Suspend (ES) SR2V[1]: The Erase Suspend bit is used to determine when the device is in Erase  
Suspend mode. This is a status bit that cannot be written by the user. When Erase Suspend bit is set to 1, the  
device is in Erase Suspend mode. When Erase Suspend bit is cleared to 0, the device is not in erase  
suspend mode. Refer to Section 10.6.5, Program or Erase Suspend (PES 85h, 75h, B0h) on page 120 for  
details about the Erase Suspend/Resume commands.  
Program Suspend (PS) SR2V[0]: The Program Suspend bit is used to determine when the device is in  
Program Suspend mode. This is a status bit that cannot be written by the user. When Program Suspend bit is  
set to 1, the device is in Program Suspend mode. When the Program Suspend bit is cleared to 0, the device  
is not in Program Suspend mode. Refer to Section 10.6.5, Program or Erase Suspend (PES 85h, 75h, B0h)

Top or Bottom Protection (TBPROT_O) CR1NV[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, ¼, ½, etc., up to the entire array.  
When TBPROT_O is set to a 0 the Block Protection is defined to start from the top (maximum address) of the  
array. When TBPROT_O is set to a 1 the Block Protection is defined to start from the bottom (zero address)  
of the array. The TBPROT_O bit is OTP and set to a 0 when shipped from Spansion. If TBPROT_O is  
programmed to 1, writing the bit with a 0 does not change the value or set the Program Error bit (P_ERR in  
SR1V[6]).  
The desired state of TBPROT_O 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_O must not be  
programmed after programming or erasing is done in the main flash array.  
CR1NV[4]: Reserved for Future Use.  
Block Protection Non-Volatile (BPNV_O) CR1NV[3]: The BPNV_O bit defines whether the BP_NV 2-0 bits  
or the BP 2-0 bits in the Status Register are selected to control the Block Protection feature. The BPNV_O bit  
is OTP and cleared to a 0 with the BP_NV bits cleared to “000” when shipped from Spansion. When BPNV_O  
is set to a 0 the BP_NV 2-0 bits in the Status Register are selected to control the block protection and are  
written by the WRR command. The time required to write the BP_NV bits is tW. When BPNV is set to a 1 the  
BP2-0 bits in the Status Register are selected to control the block protection and the BP_NV 2-0 bits will be  
programmed to binary “111”. This will cause the BP 2-0 bits to be set to binary 111 after POR, hardware  
reset, or command reset. When BPNV is set to a 1, the WRR command writes only the volatile version of the  
BP bits (SR1V[4:2]). The non-volatile version of the BP bits (SR1NV[4:2]) are no longer affected by the WRR  
command. This allows the BP bits to be written an unlimited number of times because they are volatile and  
the time to write the volatile BP bits is the much faster tCS volatile register write time. If BPNV_O is  
programmed to 1, writing the bit with a 0 does not change the value or set the Program Error bit (P_ERR in  
SR1V[6]).  
TBPARM_O CR1NV[2]: TBPARM_O defines the logical location of the parameter block. The parameter  
block consists of eight 4-kB parameter sectors, which replace a 32 kB portion of the highest or lowest address  
sector. When TBPARM_O is set to a 1 the parameter block is in the top of the memory array address space.  
When TBPARM_O is set to a 0 the parameter block is at the Bottom of the array. TBPARM_O is OTP and set

63  
D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
to a 0 when it ships from Spansion. If TBPARM_O is programmed to 1, writing the bit with a 0 does not  
change the value or set the Program Error bit (P_ERR in SR1V[6]).  
The desired state of TBPARM_O 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_O must not be  
programmed after programming or erasing is done in the main flash array.  
TBPROT_O can be set or cleared independent of the TBPARM_O 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, or  
vice versa. Or, the user can elect to store and protect the parameter information starting from the top or  
bottom together.  
When the memory array is configured as uniform sectors, the TBPARM_O bit is Reserved for Future Use  
(RFU) and has no effect because all sectors are uniform size.  
Quad Data Width Non-Volatile (QUAD_NV) CR1NV[1]: Provides the default state for the Quad bit in  
CR1V[1]. The WRR or WRAR command affects this bit. Non-Volatile selection of QPI Mode, by programming  
CR2NV[6] =1, will also program QUAD_NV =1 to change the non-volatile default to Quad data width mode.  
While QPI Mode is selected by CR2V[6]=1, the Quad_NV bit cannot be cleared to 0.  
Freeze Protection Default (FREEZE) CR1NV[0]: Provides the default state for the FREEZE bit in CR1V[0].  
This bit is not user programmable.

TBPROT, BPNV, and TBPARM CR1V[5,3,2]: These bits are volatile copies of the related non-volatile bits of  
CR1NV. These bits track any changes to the related non-volatile version of these bits.  
Quad Data Width (QUAD) CR1V[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 IO3 / RESET# becomes an active I/O signal when CS# is low or  
the RESET# input when CS# is high. The WP# input is not monitored for its normal function and is internally  
set to high (inactive). The commands for Serial, and Dual I/O Read still function normally but, there is no need  
to drive the WP# input for those commands when switching between commands using different data path  
widths. Similarly, there is no requirement to drive the IO3 / RESET# during those commands (while CS# is  
low). The QUAD bit must be set to 1 when using the Quad I/O Read, DDR Quad I/O Read, QPI Mode  
(CR2V[6] = 1), and Read Quad ID commands. While QPI Mode is selected by CR2V[6]=1, the Quad bit  
cannot be cleared to 0. The WRR command writes the non-volatile version of the Quad bit (CR1NV[1]), which  
also causes an update to the volatile version CR1V[1]. The WRR command can not write the volatile version  
CR1V[1] without first affecting the non-volatile version CR1NV[1]. The WRAR command must be used when  
it is desired to write the volatile Quad bit CR1V[1] without affecting the non-volatile version CR1NV[1].

Freeze Protection (FREEZE) CR1V[0]: The Freeze bit, when set to 1, locks the current state of the Block  
Protection control bits and OTP area:  
BPNV_2-0 bits in the non-volatile Status Register 1 (SR1NV[4:2])  
BP 2-0 bits in the volatile Status Register 1 (SR1V[4:2])  
TBPROT_O, TBPARM_O, and BPNV_O bits in the non-volatile Configuration Register (CR1NV[53, 2])  
TBPROT, TBPARM, and BPNV bits in the volatile Configuration Register (CR1V[5, 3, 2]) are indirectly  
protected in that they are shadows of the related CR1NV OTP bits and are read only  
the entire OTP memory space  
Any attempt to change the above listed bits while FREEZE = 1 is prevented:  
The WRR command does not affect the listed bits and no error status is set.  
The WRAR command does not affect the listed bits and no error status is set.  
The OTPP command, with an address within the OTP area, fails and the P-ERR status is set.  
As long as the FREEZE bit remains cleared to logic 0 the Block Protection control bits and 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 CR1V[0] FREEZE bit is volatile and the default state of FREEZE after power-on comes from FREEZE_D  
in CR1NV[0]. The FREEZE bit can be set in parallel with updating other values in CR1V by a single WRR or  
WRAR command.  
The FREEZE bit does not prevent the WRR or WRAR commands from changing the SRWD_NV (SR1NV[7]),  
Quad_NV (CR1NV[1]), or QUAD (CR1V[1]) bits.

Configuration Register 2  
Configuration Register 2 controls certain interface functions. The register bits can be read and changed using  
the Read Any Register and Write Any Register commands. The non-volatile version of the register provides  
the ability to set the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the controls. These configuration bits are  
OTP and may only have their default state changed to the opposite value one time during system  
configuration. The volatile version of the register controls the feature behavior during normal operation.

Address Length Non-Volatile CR2NV[7]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state  
of the expected address length for all commands that require address and are not fixed 3-byte only or 4-byte  
(32-bit) only address. Most commands that need an address are legacy SPI commands that traditionally used  
3-byte (24-bit) address. For device densities greater than 128 Mbit a 4-byte address is required to access the  
entire memory array. The address length configuration bit is used to change most 3-byte address commands  
to expect 4-byte address. See Table 10.1, S25FS-S Family Command Set (sorted by function) on page 88 for  
command address length. The use of 4-byte address length also applies to the 128-Mbit member of the  
S25FS-S family so that the same 4-byte address hardware and software interface may be used for all family  
members to simplify migration between densities. The 128-Mbit member of the S25FS-S family simply  
ignores the content of the fourth, high order, address byte. This non-volatile address length configuration bit  
enables the device to start immediately (boot) in 4-byte address mode rather than the legacy 3-byte address  
mode.  
QPI Non-Volatile CR2NV[6]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the  
expected instruction width for all commands. Legacy SPI commands always send the instruction one bit wide  
(serial I/O) on the SI (IO0) signal. The S25FS-S family also supports the QPI Mode in which all transfers  
between the host system and memory are 4-bits wide on IO0 to IO3, including all instructions. This non-  
volatile QPI configuration bit enables the device to start immediately (boot) in QPI Mode rather than the  
legacy serial instruction mode. When this bit is programmed to QPI Mode, the QUAD_NV bit is also  
programmed to Quad Mode (CR1NV[1]=1). The recommended procedure for moving to QPI Mode is to first  
use the WRAR command to set CR2V[6]=1, QPI Mode. The volatile register write for QPI Mode has a short  
and well defined time (tCS) to switch the device interface into QPI Mode. Following commands can then be  
immediately sent in QPI protocol. The WRAR command can be used to program CR2NV[6]=1, followed by  
polling of SR1V[0] to know when the programming operation is completed. Similarly, to exit QPI Mode, the  
WRAR command is used to clear CR2V[6]=0. CR2NV[6] cannot be erased to 0 because it is OTP.  
IO3 Reset Non-Volatile CR2NV[5]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the  
IO3 signal behavior. Most legacy SPI devices do not have a hardware reset input signal due to the limited  
signal count and connections available in traditional SPI device packages. The S25FS-S family provides the  
option to use the IO3 signal as a hardware reset input when the IO3 signal is not in use for transferring  
information between the host system and the memory. This non-volatile IO3 Reset configuration bit enables  
the device to start immediately (boot) with IO3 enabled for use as a RESET# signal.

Read Latency Non-Volatile CR2NV[3:0]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state  
of the Read Latency (dummy cycle) delay in all variable latency read commands. The following read  
commands have a variable latency period between the end of address or mode and the beginning of read  
data returning to the host:  
Fast Read  
Dual I/O Read  
Quad I/O Read  
DDR Quad I/O Read  
OTPR  
RDAR  
This Non-Volatile Read Latency configuration bit sets the number of read latency (dummy cycles) in use so  
the device can start immediately (boot) with an appropriate read latency for the host system.

Notes:  
1. SCK frequency > 133 MHz SDR, or 80 MHz DDR is not supported by this family of devices.  
2. The Dual I/O, Quad I/O, QPI, DDR Quad I/O, and DDR QPI, command protocols include Continuous Read mode bits following the  
address. The clock cycles for these bits are not counted as part of the latency cycles shown in the table. Example: the legacy  
Quad I/O command has 2 Continuous Read mode cycles following the address. Therefore, the legacy Quad I/O command without  
additional read latency is supported only up to the frequency shown in the table for a read latency of 0 cycles. By increasing the variable  
read latency the frequency of the Quad I/O command can be increased to allow operation up to the maximum supported 133 MHz  
frequency.  
3. Other read commands have fixed latency, e.g. Read always has zero read latency. RSFDP always has eight cycles of latency.  
4. DDR QPI is only supported for Latency Cycles 1 through 5 and for clock frequency of up to 68 MHz.

completed its last erase successfully, the sector is unconditionally erased. If the last erase was successful,  
the sector is read to determine if the sector is still erased (blank). The erase operation is started immediately  
after finding any programmed zero. If the sector is already blank (no programmed zero bit found) the  
remainder of the erase operation is skipped. This can dramatically reduce erase time when sectors being  
erased do not need the erase operation. When enabled the blank check feature is used within the parameter  
erase, Sector Erase, and Bulk Erase commands. When blank check is disabled an Erase command  
unconditionally starts the Erase operation.  
02h Volatile CR3V[4]: This bit controls the Page Programming Buffer address wrap point. Legacy SPI  
devices generally have used a 256-byte Page Programming Buffer and defined that if data is loaded into the  
buffer beyond the 255-byte location, the address at which additional bytes are loaded would be wrapped to  
address zero of the buffer. The S25FS-S family provides a 512-byte Page Programming Buffer that can  
increase programming performance. For legacy software compatibility, this configuration bit provides the  
option to continue the wrapping behavior at the 256-byte boundary or to enable full use of the available  
512-byte buffer by not wrapping the load address at the 256-byte boundary.  
20h Volatile CR3V[3]: This bit controls the availability of 4-kB parameter sectors in the main flash array  
address map. The parameter sectors can overlay the highest or lowest 32-kB address range of the device or  
they can be removed from the address map so that all sectors are uniform size. This bit shall not be written to  
a value different than the value of CR3NV[3]. The value of CR3V[3] may only be changed by writing  
CR3NV[3].  
30h Volatile CR3V[2]: This bit controls how the 30h instruction code is used. The instruction may be used as  
a Clear Status command or as an alternate Program / Erase Resume command. This allows software  
compatibility with either Spansion legacy SPI devices or alternate vendor devices.  
D8h Volatile CR3V[1]: This bit controls the area erased by the D8h or DCh instructions. The instruction can  
be used to erase 64-kB physical sectors or 256-kB size and aligned blocks. The option to erase 256-kB  
blocks in the lower density family members allows for consistent software behavior across all densities that  
can ease migration between different densities.  
F0h Volatile CR3V[0]: This bit controls the availability of the Spansion legacy FL-S family software reset  
instruction. The S25FS-S family supports the industry common 66h + 99h instruction sequence for software  
reset. This configuration bit allows the option to continue use of the legacy F0h single command for software  
reset.

Configuration Register 4  
Configuration Register 4 controls the main Flash Array Read commands burst wrap behavior. The burst wrap  
configuration does not affect commands reading from areas other than the main flash array e.g. read  
commands for registers or OTP array. The non-volatile version of the register provides the ability to set the  
start up (boot) state of the controls as the contents are copied to the volatile version of the register during the  
POR, hardware reset, or software reset. The volatile version of the register controls the feature behavior  
during normal operation. The register bits can be read and changed using the Read Any Register and Write  
Any Register commands. The volatile version of the register can also be written by the Set Burst Length  
(C0h) command.

Protection mode is permanently selected.  
PWDMLB (ASPR[2]) and PSTMLB (ASPR[1]) are mutually exclusive, only one may be programmed to 0.  
ASPR bits may only be programmed while ASPR[2:1] = 11b. Attempting to program ASPR bits when  
ASPR[2:1] is not = 11b will result in a programming error with P_ERR (SR1V[6]) set to 1. After the ASP  
protection mode is selected by programming ASPR[2:1] = 10b or 01b, the state of all ASPR bits are locked  
and permanently protected from further programming. Attempting to program ASPR[2:1] = 00b will result in a  
programming error with P_ERR (SR1V[6]) set to 1.  
Similarly, OTP configuration bits listed in the ASP Register description (ASP Register on page 81), may only  
be programmed while ASPR[2:1] = 11b. The OTP configuration must be selected before selecting the ASP  
protection mode. The OTP configuration bits are permanently protected from further change when the ASP  
protection mode is selected. Attempting to program these OTP configuration bits when ASPR[2:1] is not =  
11b will result in a programming error with P_ERR (SR1V[6]) set to 1.  
The ASP protection mode should be selected during system configuration to ensure that a malicious program  
does not select an undesired protection mode at a later time. By locking all the protection configuration via the  
ASP mode selection, later alteration of the protection methods by malicious programs is prevented.

Read (DLPRD 41h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register (WRAR 71h).  
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 IO’s will output 0;  
subsequently, the 2nd clock edge all I/O’s will output 0, the 3rd will output 1, etc.  
When the VDLR value is 00h, no preamble data pattern is presented during the dummy phase in the DDR  
commands.

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 58,  
OTP Program (OTPP 42h) on page 123, and OTP Read (OTPR 4Bh) on page 123.  
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, without P_ERR in SR1V set to 1.  
OTP Program operations within the valid OTP address range, while FREEZE = 1, will fail with P_ERR in  
SR1V set to 1. The OTP address space is not protected by the selection of an ASP Protection mode. The  
Freeze bit (CR1V[0]) may be used to protect the OTP Address Space.  
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 OTP Address Space on page 58.

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.  
9.3.1  
9.3.2  
Freeze Bit  
Bit 0 of Configuration Register 1 (CR1V[0]) is the FREEZE bit. The Freeze bit, when set to 1, locks the current  
state of the Block Protection control bits and OTP area until the next power off-on cycle. Additional details in  
Configuration Register 1 Volatile (CR1V) on page 64.  
Write Protect Signal  
The Write Protect (WP#) input in combination with the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit (SR1NV[7])  
provide hardware input signal controlled protection. When WP# is Low and SRWD is set to 1  
Status Register 1 (SR1NV and SR1V) and Configuration Register 1 (CR1NV and CR1V) are protected from  
alteration. This prevents disabling or changing the protection defined by the Block Protect bits. See Status  
Register 1 on page 60.  
9.4  
Advanced Sector Protection  
Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) is the name used for a set of independent hardware and software  
methods used to disable or enable programming or erase operations, individually, in any or all sectors.  
Every main flash array sector has a non-volatile Persistent Protection Bit (PPB) and a volatile Dynamic  
Protection Bit (DYB) 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 volatile PPB Lock bit is 0. There  
are two methods for managing the state of the PPB Lock bit: Password Protection and Persistent Protection.  
An overview of these methods is shown in Figure 9.2, Advanced Sector Protection Overview on page 80.  
Block Protection and ASP protection settings for each sector are logically ORed 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 77 for full details of the BP2-0 bits.

turns protection back on.  
After one of the protection  
modes is selected, ASPR  
is no longer programmable,  
making the selected protection  
mode permanent.  
The Persistent Protection method sets the PPB Lock bit to 1 during POR, or hardware reset so that the PPB  
bits are unprotected by a device reset. There is a command to clear the PPB Lock bit to 0 to protect the PPB.  
There is no command in the Persistent Protection method to set the PPB Lock bit to 1, therefore the PPB  
Lock bit will remain at 0 until the next power-off or hardware reset. The Persistent Protection method allows  
boot code the option of changing sector protection by programming or erasing the PPB, then protecting the  
PPB from further change for the remainder of normal system operation by clearing the PPB Lock bit to 0. This  
is sometimes called Boot-code controlled sector protection.

The Password method clears the PPB Lock bit to 0 during POR, or hardware reset to protect the PPB. A 64-  
bit password may be permanently programmed and hidden for the password method. A command can be  
used to provide a password for comparison with the hidden password. If the password matches, the PPB  
Lock bit is set to 1 to unprotect the PPB. A command can be used to clear the PPB Lock bit to 0. This method  
requires use of a password to control PPB protection.  
The selection of the PPB Lock bit management method is made by programming OTP bits in the ASP  
Register so as to permanently select the method used.  
9.4.1  
ASP Register  
The ASP register is used to permanently configure the behavior of Advanced Sector Protection (ASP)  
features. See Table 8.27, ASP Register (ASPR) on page 73.  
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” is an Illegal condition, attempting to program more than one bit 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 following OTP Configuration Register bits are permanently  
protected from programming and no further changes to the OTP register bits is allowed:  
– CR1NV[5:2]  
– CR2NV  
– CR3NV  
– CR4NV  
– ASPR  
– PASS  
– NVDLR  
– If an attempt to change any of the registers above, after the ASP mode is selected, the operation will  
fail and P_ERR (SR1V[6]) will be set to 1.  
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 on page 60 for information on WIP.  
See Sector Protection States Summary on page 83.

9.4.2  
Persistent Protection Bits  
The Persistent Protection Bits (PPB) are located in a separate non-volatile 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  
9.4.4  
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.  
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, when set to  
1, it allows the PPBs to be changed. See Section 8.6.9, PPB Lock Register (PPBL) on page 74 for more  
information.  
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.

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 when the device is shipped from Spansion.  
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 sets the  
PPB Lock bit to 1, 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, Password Read, RDAR, and WRAR 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 or return undefined data. 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.

D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
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 1, the WIP bit  
remains set, and the PPB Lock bit remains cleared to 0.  
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 0.  
If the password is lost after selecting the Password mode, there is no way to set the PPB Lock bit.  
9.5  
Recommended Protection Process  
During system manufacture, the flash device configuration should be defined by:  
1. Programming the OTP configuration bits in CR1NV[5, 3:2], CR2NV, CR3NV, and CR4NV as  
desired.  
2. Program the Secure Silicon Region (OTP area) as desired.  
3. Program the PPB bits as desired via the PPBP command.  
4. Program the Non-Volatile Data Learning Pattern (NVDLR) if it will be used in DDR read  
commands.  
5. Program the Password register (PASS) if password protection will be used.  
6. Program the ASP Register as desired, including the selection of the persistent or password ASP  
protection mode in ASPR[2:1]. It is very important to explicitly select a protection mode so that later  
accidental or malicious programming of the ASP register and OTP configuration is prevented. This  
is to ensure that only the intended OTP protection and configuration features are enabled.  
During system power-up and boot code execution:  
1. Trusted boot code can determine whether there is any need to program additional SSR (OTP area)  
information. If no SSR changes are needed the FREEZE bit (CR1V[0]) can be set to 1 to protect  
the SSR from changes during the remainder of normal system operation while power remains on.  
2. If the Persistent Protection mode is in use, trusted boot code can determine whether there is any  
need to modify the persistent (PPB) sector protection via the PPBP or PPBE commands. If no PPB  
changes are needed the PPBLOCK bit can be cleared to 0 via the PPBL to protect the PPB bits  
from changes during the remainder of normal system operation while power remains on.  
3. The Dynamic (DYB) Sector Protection bits can be written as desired via the DYBAR.

D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
10. Commands  
All communication between the host system and S25FS-S family 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  
sequentially between the host system and memory device.  
Command protocols are also classified by a numerical nomenclature using three numbers to reference the  
transfer width of three command phases:  
instruction;  
address and instruction modifier (mode);  
data.  
Single bit wide commands start with an instruction and may provide an address or data, all sent only on the SI  
signal. Data may be sent back to the host serially on the SO signal. This is referenced as a 1-1-1 command  
protocol for single bit width instruction, single bit width address and modifier, single bit data.  
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. This is referenced as 1-2-2 for Dual I/O  
and 1-4-4 for Quad I/O command protocols.  
The S25FS-S family also supports a QPI Mode in which all information is transferred in 4-bit width, including  
the instruction, address, modifier, and data. This is referenced as a 4-4-4 command protocol.  
Commands are structured as follows:  
Each command begins with an eight bit (byte) instruction. However, some read commands are modified by  
a prior read command, such that the instruction is implied from the earlier command. This is called  
Continuous Read mode. When the device is in Continuous Read mode, the instruction bits are not  
transmitted at the beginning of the command because the instruction is the same as the read command  
that initiated the Continuous Read mode. In Continuous Read mode the command will begin with the read  
address. Thus, Continuous Read mode removes eight instruction bits from each read command in a series  
of same type read commands.  
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 2-bit (dual) or parallel 4-bit (quad) transfers.  
In legacy SPI Multiple IO mode, 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.  
In QPI Mode, the width of all transfers, including instructions, is a 4-bit wide (quad) transfer on the IO0-IO3  
signals.  
Dual I/O and Quad I/O read 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 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.

S25FS-S Family  
85  
D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
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 24.  
– 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 eight 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.

CR2NV[7] (following power-up, hardware reset, or software reset), to enable default 3-byte (24-bit)  
or 4-byte (32-bit) addressing. When the address length (CR2V[7]) set to 1, the legacy commands  
are changed to require 4-bytes (32-bits) for the address field. The following instructions can be

10.1.3  
10.1.4  
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 S25FS-S family supports the three 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.

10.1.4.1 Monitoring Operation Status  
The host system can determine when a write, program, erase, suspend or other embedded operation is  
complete by monitoring the Write-In-Progress (WIP) bit in the Status Register. The Read from  
Status Register 1 command or Read Any Register 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 1, the WIP bit will  
remain set to one indicating the device remains busy and unable to receive most new operation commands.  
Only Status Read (RDSR1 05h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Status Clear (CLSR 30h or 82h), and  
Software Reset (RSTEN 66h, RST 99h or RESET F0h) are valid commands when P_ERR or E_ERR is set to  
1. A Clear Status Register (CLSR) followed by a Write Disable (WRDI) command must be sent to return the  
device to standby state. Clear Status Register clears the WIP, P_ERR, and E_ERR bits. WRDI clears the  
WEL bit. Alternatively, hardware reset, or software reset (RST or RESET) may be used to return the device to  
standby state.  
10.1.4.2 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.  
10.1.5  
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 50MHz.  
Other read commands have a latency period between the address and returning data but can operate at  
higher SCK frequencies. The latency depends on a Configuration Register read latency value.  
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.  
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.  
Quad Double Data Rate read commands provide address four bits per every SCK edge with read data  
returning four bits of data per every SCK edge on the IO0-IO3 signals.  
10.1.6  
10.1.7  
Program Flash Array  
Programming data requires two commands: Write Enable (WREN), and Page Program (PP). 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 Parameter Sector Erase, Sector Erase, or Bulk Erase 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 or array-  
wide (bulk) level. The Write Enable (WREN) command must precede an erase command.

10.1.8  
10.1.9  
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.  
Reset  
There are commands to reset to the default conditions present after power-on to the device. However, the  
software reset commands do not affect the current state of the FREEZE or PPB Lock bits. In all other  
respects a software reset is the same as a hardware reset.  
There is a command to reset (exit from) the Continuous Read mode.  
10.1.10 Reserved  
Some instructions are reserved for future use. In this generation of the S25FS-S family 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 effect. This allows legacy software to issue some commands that are not relevant for the current  
generation S25FS-S family with the assurance these commands do not cause some unexpected action.  
Some commands are reserved for use in special versions of the FS-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 (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  
Device ID and Common Flash Interface (ID-CFI) Address Map on page 143 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 Quad Identification (RDQID AFh)  
The Read Quad Identification (RDQID) command provides read access to manufacturer identification, device  
identification, and Common Flash Interface (CFI) information. This command is an alternate way of reading  
the same information provided by the RDID command while in QPI Mode. In all other respects the command  
behaves the same as the RDID command.  
The command is recognized only when the device is in QPI Mode (CR2V[6]=1). The instruction is shifted in  
on IO0-IO3. After the last bit of the 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 IO0-IO3. As a whole this information is referred to as ID-CFI. See Device ID and Common  
Flash Interface (ID-CFI) Address Map on page 143 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 command sequence is terminated by driving CS# to the logic high state anytime during data output.  
The maximum clock frequency for the command is 133 MHz.

10.2.3  
Read Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (RSFDP 5Ah)  
The command is initiated by shifting on SI the instruction code “5Ah”, followed by a 24-bit address of  
000000h, followed by 8 dummy cycles. The SFDP bytes are then shifted out on SO starting at the falling edge  
of SCK after the dummy cycles. The SFDP bytes are always shifted out with the MSB first. If the 24-bit  
address is set to any other value, the selected location in the SFDP space is the starting point of the data  
read. This enables random access to any parameter in the SFDP space. The RSFDP command is supported  
up to 50 MHz.

10.3 Register Access Commands  
10.3.1  
Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1 05h)  
The Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1) command allows the Status Register 1 contents to be read from SO.  
The volatile version of Status Register 1 (SR1V) contents may be read at any time, even while a program,  
erase, or write operation is in progress. It is possible to read Status Register 1 continuously by providing  
multiples of eight clock cycles. The status is updated for each eight cycle read. The maximum clock frequency  
for the RDSR1 (05h) command is 133 MHz.

Section 10.3.12, Read Any Register (RDAR 65h) on page 101  
10.3.4  
Write Registers (WRR 01h)  
The Write Registers (WRR) command allows new values to be written to both the Status Register 1 and  
Configuration Register 1. 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 WRR operation first erases the register then programs the new value as a single operation. The Write  
Registers (WRR) command will set the P_ERR or E_ERR bits if there is a failure in the WRR operation. See  
Status Register 1 Volatile (SR1V) on page 61 for a description of the error bits. 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.  
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.  
This command is also supported in QPI Mode. In QPI Mode the instruction and data is shifted in on IO0-IO3,  
two clock cycles per byte.

The Write Registers (WRR) command allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP2, BP1,  
and BP0) bits in either the non-volatile Status Register 1 or in the volatile Status Register 1, to define the size  
of the area that is to be treated as read-only. The BPNV_O bit (CR1NV[3]) controls whether WRR writes the  
non-volatile or volatile version of Status Register 1. When CR1NV[3]=0 WRR writes SR1NV[4:2]. When  
CR1NV[3]=1 WRR writes SR1V[4:2].  
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, not  
accepted for execution, and no error indication is provided. 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  
(SR1V[1]) to a 0. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set to a 1 by issuing the Write Enable (WREN)  
command to enable write, program and erase commands.  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on  
SI. Without CS# being driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched  
in on SI, the write enable operation will not be executed.

Write Disable (WRDI 04h)  
The Write Disable (WRDI) command clears the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the Status Register 1  
(SR1V[1]) to a 1.  
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit may be cleared to a 0 by issuing the Write Disable (WRDI) command to  
disable Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE), Write Registers (WRR or WRAR), OTP  
Program (OTPP), and other commands, that require WEL be set to 1 for execution. The WRDI command can  
be used by the user to protect memory areas against inadvertent writes that can possibly corrupt the contents  
of the memory. The WRDI command is ignored during an embedded operation while WIP bit =1.  
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on  
SI. Without CS# being driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched  
in on SI, the write disable operation will not be executed.

Clear Status Register (CLSR 30h or 82h)  
The Clear Status Register command resets bit SR1V[5] (Erase Fail Flag) and bit SR1V[6] (Program Fail  
Flag). It is not necessary to set the WEL bit before a Clear Status Register command is executed. The Clear  
Status Register command will be accepted even when the device remains busy with WIP set to 1, as the  
device does remain busy when either error bit is set. The WEL bit will be unchanged after this command is  
executed.  
The legacy Clear Status Register (CLSR 30h) instruction may be disabled and the 30h instruction value  
instead used for a program / erase resume command - see Configuration Register 3 on page 69. The Clear  
Status Register alternate instruction (CLSR 82h) is always available to clear the Status Register.

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 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.

10.3.12 Read Any Register (RDAR 65h)  
The Read Any Register (RDAR) command provides a way to read all device registers - non-volatile and  
volatile. The instruction is followed by a 3- or 4-byte address (depending on the address length configuration  
CR2V[7], followed by a number of latency (dummy) cycles set by CR2V[3:0]. Then the selected register  
contents are returned. If the read access is continued the same addressed register contents are returned until  
the command is terminated - only one register is read by each RDAR command.  
Reading undefined locations provides undefined data.  
The RDAR command may be used during embedded operations to read Status Register 1 (SR1V).  
The RDAR command is not used for reading registers that act as a window into a larger array: PPBAR, and  
DYBAR. There are separate commands required to select and read the location in the array accessed.  
The RDAR command will read invalid data from the PASS register locations if the ASP Password protection  
mode is selected by programming ASPR[2] to 0.

10.3.13 Write Any Register (WRAR 71h)  
The Write Any Register (WRAR) command provides a way to write any device register - non-volatile or  
volatile. The instruction is followed by a 3- or 4-byte address (depending on the address length configuration  
CR2V[7], followed by one byte of data to write in the address selected register.  
Before the WRAR 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 WIP bit in SR1V may be checked to determine when the operation is completed.  
The P_ERR and E_ERR bits in SR1V may be checked to determine if any error occurred during the  
operation.  
Some registers have a mixture of bit types and individual rules controlling which bits may be modified. Some  
bits are read only, some are OTP.  
Read only bits are never modified and the related bits in the WRAR command data byte are ignored without  
setting a program or erase error indication (P_ERR or E_ERR in SR1V). Hence, the value of these bits in the  
WRAR data byte do not matter.  
OTP bits may only be programmed to the level opposite of their default state. Writing of OTP bits back to their  
default state is ignored and no error is set.  
Non-Volatile bits which are changed by the WRAR data, require non-volatile register write time (tW) to be  
updated. The update process involves an erase and a program operation on the non-volatile register bits. If  
either the erase or program portion of the update fails the related error bit and WIP in SR1V will be set to 1.  
Volatile bits which are changed by the WRAR data, require the volatile register write time (tCS) to be updated.  
Status Register 1 may be repeatedly read (polled) to monitor the Write-In-Progress (WIP) bit (SR1V[0]) and  
the error bits (SR1V[6,5]) to determine when the register write is completed or failed. If there is a write failure,  
the clear status command is used to clear the error status and enable the device to return to standby state.  
However, the PPBL register can not be written by the WRAR command. Only the PPB Lock Bit Write  
(PLBWR) command can write the PPBL register.  
The command sequence and behavior is the same as the PP or 4PP command with only a single byte of data  
provided. See Section 10.5.2, Page Program (PP 02h or 4PP 12h) on page 114.  
The address map of the registers is the same as shown for Section 10.3.12, Read Any Register (RDAR 65h)  
on page 101.  
10.3.14 Set Burst Length (SBL C0h)  
The Set Burst Length (SBL) command is used to configure the Burst Wrap feature. Burst Wrap is used in  
conjunction with Quad I/O Read and DDR Quad I/O Read, in legacy SPI or QPI Mode, to access a fixed  
length and alignment of data. Certain applications can benefit from this feature by improving the overall  
system code execution performance. The Burst Wrap feature allows applications that use cache, to start  
filling a cache line with instruction or data from a critical address first, then fill the remainder of the cache line  
afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-bytes) of data, without issuing multiple read commands.  
The Set Burst Length (SBL) command writes the CR4V register to enable or disable the wrapped read feature  
and set the wrap boundary. When enabled the wrapped read feature changes the related read commands  
from sequentially reading until the command ends, to reading sequentially wrapped within a group of bytes.  
When CR4V[4]=1, the wrap mode is not enabled and unlimited length sequential read is performed.  
When CR4V[4]=0, the wrap mode is enabled and a fixed length and aligned group of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bytes is  
read starting at the byte address provided by the read command and wrapping around at the group alignment  
boundary.  
The group of bytes is of length and aligned on an 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-byte boundary. CR4V[1:0] selects the  
boundary. See Configuration Register 4 Volatile (CR4V) on page 72.  
The starting address of the read command selects the group of bytes and the first data returned is the  
addressed byte. Bytes are then read sequentially until the end of the group boundary is reached. If the read  
continues the address wraps to the beginning of the group and continues to read sequentially. This wrapped  
read sequence continues until the command is ended by CS# returning high.

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 1bit of data per  
rising edge of SCK. These are called Single width commands.  
Some SDR commands transfer both address and data two or four bits per rising edge of SCK. These are  
called Dual I/O for two bits, Quad I/O, and QPI for four bits. QPI also transfers instruction four bits per rising  
edge.  
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 4 bits of address or data per SCK edge. These are called Quad I/O DDR  
and QPI DDR for four bit per edge transfer.  
All of these commands, except QPI Read, begin with an instruction code that is transferred one bit per SCK  
rising edge. QPI Read transfers the instruction four bits 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 S25FS-S family devices at 256-Mbits or higher  
density, the traditional SPI 3-byte addresses are unable to directly address all locations in the memory array.  
Separate 4-byte address read commands are provided for access to the entire address space. These devices  
may 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 Address Length bit

in Configuration Register 2 to 0. In the FS128S, higher order address bits above A23 in the 4 byte address  
commands, or commands using 4-byte address mode are not relevant and are ignored because the flash  
array is only 128 Mbits in size.  
The Quad I/O and QPI 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 Read accesses.  
Some commands require delay cycles following the address or mode bits to allow time to access the memory  
array - read latency. The delay or read latency cycles are traditionally called dummy cycles. The dummy  
cycles are ignored by the memory thus any data provided by the host during these cycles is “don’t care” and  
the host may also leave the SI signal at high impedance during the dummy cycles. When MIO commands are  
used the host must stop driving the IO signals (outputs are high impedance) before the end of last dummy  
cycle. When DDR commands are used the host must not drive the I/O signals during any dummy cycle. The  
number of dummy cycles varies with the SCK frequency or performance option selected via the Configuration  
Register 2 (CR2V[3:0]) Latency Code. 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 one 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 five or more dummy cycles should be selected to allow one cycle of additional time for the host  
to stop driving before the memory starts driving the 4-cycle DLP.  
Each read command ends when CS# is returned High at any point during data return. CS# must not be  
returned High during the mode or dummy cycles before data returns as this may cause mode bits to be  
captured incorrectly; making it indeterminate as to whether the device remains in Continuous Read mode.

Read (Read 03h or 4READ 13h)  
The instruction  
03h (CR2V[7]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
03h (CR2V[7]=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.

Fast Read (FAST_READ 0Bh or 4FAST_READ 0Ch)  
The instruction  
0Bh (CR2V[7]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
0Bh (CR2V[7]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or  
0Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)  
The address is followed by dummy cycles depending on the latency code set in the Configuration Register  
CR2V[3:0]. The dummy cycles allow the device internal circuits additional time for accessing the initial  
address location. During the dummy cycles the data value on SO is “don’t care” and may be high impedance.  
Then the memory contents, at the address given, are shifted out on SO.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for Fast Read command is 133 MHz.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to  
the next higher address in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can  
therefore be read out with one single read instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest  
address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back to 000000h, allowing the read  
sequence to be continued indefinitely.

Dual I/O Read (DIOR BBh or 4DIOR BCh)  
The instruction  
BBh (CR2V[7]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
BBh (CR2V[7]=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). This  
command takes input of the address and returns read data two bits per SCK rising edge. In some  
applications, the reduced address input and data output 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 133 MHz.  
The Dual I/O Read command has Continuous Read mode bits that follow the address 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 an optional 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 optional latency.  
Variable latency may be added after the mode bits are shifted into SI and SO before data begins shifting out  
of IO0 and IO1. This latency period (dummy cycles) allows the device internal circuitry enough time to access  
data at the initial address. During the dummy cycles, the data value on SI and SO are “don’t care” and may be  
high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK. The latency is  
configured in CR2V[3:0].  
The Continuous Read feature removes the need for the instruction bits in a sequence of read accesses and  
greatly improves code execution (XIP) performance. The upper nibble (bits 7-4) of the Mode bits control the

D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
length of the next Dual I/O Read command through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code.  
The lower nibble (bits 3-0) of the Mode bits are “don’t care” (“x”) and may be high impedance. If the Mode bits  
equal Axh, then the device remains in Dual I/O Continuous 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 10.31  
on page 108; thus, eliminating eight cycles of the command sequence. The following sequences will release  
the device from Dual I/O Continuous Read mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI  
commands:  
1. During the Dual I/O Continuous 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 Dual I/O con ti no  
us read mode.  
2. Send the Mode Reset command.  
Note that the four mode bit cycles are part of the device’s internal circuitry latency time to access the initial  
address after the last address cycle that is clocked into IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO).  
It is important that the I/O signals be set to high-impedance at or before the falling edge of the first data out  
clock. At higher clock speeds the time available to turn off the host outputs before the memory device begins  
to drive (bus turn around) is diminished. It is allowed and may be helpful in preventing I/O signal contention,  
for the host system to turn off the I/O signal outputs (make them high impedance) during the last two “don’t  
care” mode cycles or during any dummy cycles.  
Following the latency period the memory content, at the address given, is shifted out two bits at a time  
through IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO). Two bits are shifted out at the SCK frequency at the falling edge of SCK  
signal.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to  
the next higher address in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can  
therefore be read out with one single read instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest  
address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back to 000000h, allowing the read  
sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.

Quad I/O Read (QIOR EBh or 4QIOR ECh)  
The instruction  
EBh (CR2V[7]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
EBh (CR2V[7]=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 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 S25FS-S family devices. The Quad bit of the Configuration  
Register must be set (CR1V[1]=1) to enable the Quad capability of S25FS-S family devices.  
The maximum operating clock frequency for Quad I/O Read is 133MHz.  
For the Quad I/O Read command, there is a latency required after the mode bits (described below) before  
data begins shifting out of IO0-IO3. This latency period (i.e., dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal  
circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3  
are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of  
SCK. The latency is configured in CR2V[3:0].  
Following the latency period, the memory contents at the address given, is shifted out four bits at a time  
through IO0-IO3. Each nibble (4 bits) is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK  
signal.  
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to  
the next higher address in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can  
therefore be read out with one single read instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest  
address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back to 000000h, allowing the read  
sequence to be continued indefinitely.  
Address jumps can be done without the need for additional Quad I/O Read instructions. This is controlled  
through the setting of the Mode bits (after the address sequence, as shown in Figure 10.32 on page 109 or  
Figure 10.35 on page 110). This added feature removes the need for the instruction sequence and greatly  
improves code execution (XIP). The upper nibble (bits 7-4) of the Mode bits control the length of the next  
Quad I/O instruction through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble (bits  
3-0) of the Mode bits are “don’t care” (“x”). If the Mode bits equal Axh, then the device remains in Quad I/O  
High Performance Read mode and the next address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and then  
asserted low) without requiring the EBh or ECh instruction, as shown in Figure 10.34 on page 109 or  
Figure 10.36 on page 110; thus, eliminating eight cycles for the command sequence. The following  
sequences will release the device from Quad I/O High Performance Read mode; after which, the device can  
accept standard SPI commands:  
1. 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.  
2. Send the Mode Reset command.  
Note that the two mode bit clock cycles and additional wait states (i.e., dummy cycles) allow the device’s  
internal circuitry latency time to access the initial address after the last address cycle that is clocked into IO0-  
IO3.  
It is important that the IO0-IO3 signals be set to high-impedance at or before the falling edge of the first data  
out clock. At higher clock speeds the time available to turn off the host outputs before the memory device  
begins to drive (bus turn around) is diminished. It is allowed and may be helpful in preventing IO0-IO3 signal

contention, for the host system to turn off the IO0-IO3 signal outputs (make them high impedance) during the  
last “don’t care” mode cycle or during any dummy cycles.  
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.  
In QPI Mode (CR2V[6]=1) the Quad I/O instructions are sent 4 bits per SCK rising edge. The remainder of the  
command protocol is identical to the Quad I/O commands.

DDR Quad I/O Read (EDh, EEh)  
The DDR Quad I/O Read 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 S25FS-S  
family devices. The Quad bit of the Configuration Register must be set (CR1V[1]=1) to enable the Quad  
capability.  
The instruction  
EDh (CR2V[7]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
EDh (CR2V[7]=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 DDR Quad I/O Read command is 80 MHz.  
For DDR Quad I/O Read, there is a latency required after the last address and mode bits are shifted into the  
IO0-IO3 signals before data begins shifting out of IO0-IO3. This latency period (dummy cycles) allows the  
device’s internal circuitry enough time to access the initial address. During these latency cycles, the data  
value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. When the Data Learning Pattern (DLP) is  
enabled the host system must not drive the IO signals during the dummy cycles. The IO signals must be left  
high impedance by the host so that the memory device can drive the DLP during the dummy cycles.  
The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK. The latency is configured in CR2V[3:0].  
Mode bits allow a series of Quad I/O DDR commands to eliminate the 8-bit instruction after the first command  
sends a complementary mode bit pattern, as shown in Figure 10.38 and Figure 10.40. This feature removes  
the need for the 8-bit SDR instruction sequence and dramatically reduces initial access times (improves XIP  
performance). The Mode bits control the length of the next DDR Quad 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 Quad I/O  
Read 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 10.39 on page 112 and Figure 10.42 on page 113  
thus, eliminating eight cycles from the command sequence. The following sequences will release the device  
from Continuous DDR Quad I/O Read mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:  
1. During the DDR Quad 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 Quad I/O  
Read mode.  
2. Send the Mode Reset command.  
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.  
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 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). 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 SPI DDR  
Data Learning Registers on page 75 for more details.  
In QPI Mode (CR2V[6]=1) the DDR Quad I/O instructions are sent 4 bits per SCK rising edge. The remainder  
of the command protocol is identical to the DDR Quad I/O commands.

10.5 Program Flash Array Commands  
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  
Configuration Register bit CR3V[4]. 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 legacy standard SPI Page Programming  
(PP) command by allowing a single byte to be programmed anywhere in the memory array.

113  
D a t a S h e e t ( P r e l i m i n a r y )  
10.5.2  
Page Program (PP 02h or 4PP 12h)  
The Page Program (PP) command 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 (CR2V[7]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or  
02h (CR2V[7]=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 CR3V[4], 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 more data is sent to the device than the space between the starting address and the page aligned end  
boundary, the data loading sequence will wrap from the last byte in the page to the zero byte location of the  
same page and begin overwriting any data previously loaded in the page. The last page worth of data is  
programmed in the page. This is a result of the device being equipped with a page program buffer that is only  
page size in length. 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.  
Using the Page Program (PP) command to load an entire page, within the page boundary, will save overall  
programming time versus loading less than a page 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 (SR1V[0]) will indicate when the programming operation is completed. The P_ERR bit  
(SR1V[6]) will indicate if an error occurs in the programming operation that prevents successful completion of  
programming. This includes attempted programming of a protected area.

10.6 Erase Flash Array Commands  
10.6.1  
Parameter 4-kB Sector Erase (P4E 20h or 4P4E 21h)  
The main flash array address map may be configured to overlay 4-kB parameter sectors over the lowest  
address portion of the lowest address uniform sector (bottom parameter sectors) or over the highest address  
portion of the highest address uniform sector (top parameter sectors). The main flash array address map may  
also be configured to have only uniform size sectors. The parameter sector configuration is controlled by the  
configuration bit CR3V[3]. The P4E and 4P4E commands are ignored when the device is configured for  
uniform sectors only (CR3V[3]=1).  
The parameter 4-kB Sector Erase commands set all the bits of a 4-kB parameter sector to 1 (all bytes are  
FFh). Before the P4E or 4P4E 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 [CR2V[7]=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or  
20h [CR2V[7]=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 or 4P4E 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.

10.6.2  
Sector Erase (SE D8h or 4SE DCh)  
The Sector Erase (SE) command sets all bits in the addressed sector to 1 (all bytes are FFh). Before the  
Sector Erase (SE) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be  
issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable  
any write operations.  
The instruction  
D8h [CR2V[7]=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or  
D8h [CR2V[7]=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 a 0 when  
the erase cycle has been completed.  
A Sector Erase (SE) command applied to a sector that has been Write Protected through the Block Protection  
bits or ASP, will not be executed and will set the E_ERR status.  
A device configuration option (CR3V[1]) 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 S25FS family devices.  
A device configuration option (CR3V[3]) determines whether 4-kB parameter sectors are in use. When  
CR3V[3] = 0, 4-kB parameter sectors overlay a portion of the highest or lowest address 32 kB of the device  
address space. If a Sector Erase command is applied to a 64-kB sector that is overlaid by 4-kB sectors, the  
overlaid 4-kB sectors are not affected by the erase. Only the visible (non-overlaid) portion of the 64-kB sector  
appears erased. Similarly if a Sector Erase command is applied to a 256-kB range that is overlaid by 4-kB  
sectors, the overlaid 4-kB sectors are not affected by the erase. When CR3V[3] = 1, there are no 4-kB  
parameter sectors in the device address space and the Sector Erase command always operates on fully  
visible 64-kB or 256-kB sectors.  
ASP has a PPB and a DYB protection bit for each physical sector, including any 4-kB sectors. If a Sector  
Erase command is applied to a 256-kB range that includes a 64-kB protected physical sector, the erase will  
not be executed on the 256-kB 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 0, 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.

Evaluate Erase Status (EES D0h)  
The Evaluate Erase Status (EES) command verifies that the last erase operation on the addressed sector  
was completed successfully. If the selected sector was successfully erased the Erase Status bit (SR2V[2]) is  
set to 1. If the selected sector was not completely erased SR2V[2] is 0.  
The EES command can be used to detect erase operations failed due to loss of power, reset, or failure during  
the erase operation.  
The EES instruction is followed by a 3- or 4-byte address, depending on the address length configuration  
(CR2V[7]). The EES command requires tEES to complete and update the Erase Status in SR2V. The WIP bit  
(SR1V[0]) may be read using the RDSR1 (05h) command, to determine when the EES command is finished.  
Then the RDSR2 (07h) or the RDAR (65h) command can be used to read SR2V[2]. If a sector is found not  
erased with SR2V[2]=0, the sector must be erased again to ensure reliable storage of data in the sector.  
The Write Enable command (to set the WEL bit) is not required before the EES command. However, the WEL  
bit is set by the device itself and cleared at the end of the operation, as visible in SR1V[1] when reading  
status.

Program or Erase Suspend (PES 85h, 75h, B0h)  
There are three instruction codes for Program or Erase Suspend (PES) to enable legacy and alternate source  
software compatibility.  
The PES command allows the system to interrupt a programming or erase operation and then read from any  
other non-erase-suspended sector or non-program-suspended-page. Program or Erase Suspend is valid only  
during a programming or Sector Erase operation. A Bulk Erase operation cannot be suspended.  
The Write-In-Progress (WIP) bit in Status Register 1 (SR1V[0]) must be checked to know when the  
programming or erase 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 Erase Suspend Status bit in the 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. The  
time required for the suspend operation to complete is tSL, see Table 11.2, Program or Erase Suspend AC  
Parameters on page 134.  
An Erase can be suspended to allow a program operation or a read operation. During an erase suspend, the  
DYB array may be read to examine sector protection and written to remove or restore protection on a sector  
to be programmed.  
A program operation may be suspended to allow a read operation.  
A new erase operation is not allowed with an already suspended erase or program operation. An erase  
command is ignored in this situation.

The WRR, WRAR, or PPB Erase commands are not allowed during Erase or Program 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.  
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.

Erase or Program Resume (EPR 7Ah, 8Ah, 30h)  
There are three instruction codes for Erase or Program Resume (EPR) to enable legacy and alternate source  
software compatibility.  
After program or read operations are completed during a program or erase suspend the Erase or Program  
Resume command is sent to continue the suspended operation.  
After an Erase or 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 if one is suspended. If no program operation is suspended the  
suspended erase operation will resume. If there is no suspended program or erase operation the resume  
command is ignored.  
Program or erase 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 or 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 tRS. See Table 11.2, Program or Erase Suspend AC Parameters on page 134.  
An Erase or Program Resume command must be written to resume a suspended operation.

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 A31 to A10 must be  
0 for this command. Refer to OTP Address Space on page 58 for details on the OTP region.  
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. The WIP bit in SR1V may be checked to determine when the operation is  
completed. The P_ERR bit in SR1V may be checked to determine if any error occurred during the operation.  
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 0s in a region that is locked will fail with the P_ERR bit in SR1V 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).  
The protocol of the OTP Program command is the same as the Page Program command. See Page Program  
(PP 02h or 4PP 12h) on page 114 for the command sequence.  
10.7.2  
OTP Read (OTPR 4Bh)  
The OTP Read command reads data from the OTP region. The OTP region is 1024 bytes so, the address bits  
from A31 to A10 must be zero for this command. Refer to OTP Address Space on page 58 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. The OTP Read command read latency is set by the latency value  
in CR2V[3:0].  
See Fast Read (FAST_READ 0Bh or 4FAST_READ 0Ch) on page 106 for the command sequence.  
10.8 Advanced Sector Protection Commands  
10.8.1  
ASP Read (ASPRD 2Bh)  
The ASP Read instruction 2Bh is shifted into SI by the rising edge of the SCK signal. Then the 16-bit ASP  
register contents are 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 FAh or 4DYBRD E0h)  
The instruction is latched into SI by the rising edge of the SCK signal. The instruction is followed by the 24 or  
32-bit address, depending on the address length configuration CR2V[7], 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 FBh or 4DYBWR 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, followed  
by the 24- or 32-bit address, depending on the address length configuration CR2V[7], 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 data value must be  
00h to protect or FFh to unprotect the selected sector.  
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. 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.

PPB Program (PPBP FDh or 4PPBP 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 24- or 32-bit address, depending on the address length configuration CR2V[7], 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 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 password is no longer readable, the PASSRD command will  
output undefined data.  
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  
Software controlled Reset commands restore the device to its initial power-up state, by reloading volatile  
registers from non-volatile default values. However, the volatile FREEZE bit in the Configuration Register  
CR1V[0] and the volatile PPB Lock bit in the PPB Lock Register are not changed by a software reset. The  
software reset cannot be used to circumvent the FREEZE or PPB Lock bit protection mechanisms for the  
other security configuration bits.  
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.  
The non-volatile bits in the Configuration Register (CR1NV), TBPROT_O, TBPARM, and BPNV_O, retain  
their previous state after a software reset.  
The Block Protection bits BP2, BP1, and BP0, in the Status Register (SR1V) will only be reset to their default  
value if FREEZE = 0.  
A reset command (RST or RESET) is executed when CS# is brought high at the end of the instruction and  
requires tRPH time to execute.  
In the case of a previous Power-Up Reset (POR) failure to complete, a reset command triggers a full power-  
up sequence requiring tPU to complete.

Software Reset Enable (RSTEN 66h)  
The Reset Enable (RSTEN) command is required immediately before a Reset command (RST) such that a  
software reset is a sequence of the two commands. Any command other than RST following the RSTEN  
command, will clear the reset enable condition and prevent a later RST command from being recognized.  
Software Reset (RST 99h)  
The Reset (RST) command immediately following a RSTEN command, initiates the software reset process.

Legacy Software Reset (RESET F0h)  
The Legacy Software Reset (RESET) is a single command that initiates the software reset process. This  
command is disabled by default but can be enabled by programming CR3V[0]=1, for software compatibility  
with Spansion legacy FL-S devices.  
Mode Bit Reset (MBR FFh)  
The Mode Bit Reset (MBR) command is 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 1s on SI or IO0 for 8 SCK cycles. IO1 to IO3 are “don’t care” during these cycles.

11. Embedded Algorithm Performance Tables  
The Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) standard JESD22-A117 defines the procedural  
requirements for performing valid endurance and retention tests based on a qualification specification. This  
methodology is intended to determine the ability of a flash device to sustain repeated data changes without  
failure (program/erase endurance) and to retain data for the expected life (data retention). Endurance and  
retention qualification specifications are specified in JESD47 or may be developed using knowledge-based  
methods as in JESD94.

12.3 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) Address Map  
The SFDP address space has a header starting at address zero that identifies the SFDP data structure and  
provides a pointer to each parameter. One parameter is mandated by the JEDEC JESD216 standard.  
Spansion provides an additional parameter by pointing to the ID-CFI address space i.e. the ID-CFI address  
space is a sub-set of the SFDP address space. The JEDEC parameter is located within the ID-CFI address  
space and is thus both a CFI parameter and an SFDP parameter. In this way both SFDP and ID-CFI  
information can be accessed by either the RSFDP or RDID commands.

Note:  
1. FS-S devices are user configurable to have either a hybrid sector architecture (with eight 4-kB sectors and all remaining sectors are  
uniform 64 kB or 256 kB) or a uniform sector architecture with all sectors uniform 64 kB or 256 kB. FS-S devices are also user  
configurable to have the 4-kB parameter sectors at the top of memory address space. The CFI geometry information of the above table is  
relevant only to the initial delivery state. All devices are initially shipped from Spansion with the hybrid sector architecture with the 4-kB  
sectors located at the bottom of the array address map. However, the device configuration TBPARM bit CR1NV[2] may be programed to  
invert the sector map to place the 4-kB sectors at the top of the array address map. The 20h_NV bit (CR3NV[3} may be programmed to  
remove the 4-kB sectors from the address map. The flash device driver software must examine the TBPARM and 20h_NV bits to  
determine if the sector map was inverted or hybrid sectors removed at a later time.

The Alternate Vendor-Specific Extended Query provides information related to the expanded command set  
provided by the FS-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.
