W25Q128BV  
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The W25Q128BV (8M-bit) Serial Flash memory provides a storage solution for systems with limited  
space, pins and power. The 25Q series offers flexibility and performance well beyond ordinary Serial Flash  
devices. They are ideal for code shadowing to RAM, executing code directly from Dual/Quad SPI (XIP)  
and storing voice, text and data. The device operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply with current  
consumption as low as 4mA active and 1µA for power-down.  
The W25Q128BV array is organized into 65,536 programmable pages of 256-bytes each. Up to 256 bytes  
can be programmed at a time. Pages can be erased in groups of 16 (4KB sector erase), groups of 128  
(32KB block erase), groups of 256 (64KB block erase) or the entire chip (chip erase). The W25Q128BV  
has 4,096 erasable sectors and 256 erasable blocks respectively. The small 4KB sectors allow for greater  
flexibility in applications that require data and parameter storage. (See Figure 2.)  
The W25Q128BV supports the standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and a high performance  
Dual/Quad output as well as Dual/Quad I/O SPI: Serial Clock, Chip Select, Serial Data I/O0 (DI), I/O1  
(DO), I/O2 (/WP), and I/O3 (/HOLD). SPI clock frequencies of up to 104MHz are supported allowing  
equivalent clock rates of 208MHz (104MHz x 2) for Dual Output and 280MHz (70MHz x 4) for Quad SPI  
when using the Fast Read Quad SPI instructions. These transfer rates can out perform standard  
Asynchronous 8 and 16-bit Parallel Flash memories. The Continuous Read Mode allows for efficient  
memory access with as few as 8-clocks of instruction-overhead to read a 24-bit address, allowing true XIP  
(execute in place) operation.  
A Hold pin, Write Protect pin and programmable write protection, with top, bottom or complement array  
control, provide further control flexibility. Additionally, the device supports JEDEC standard manufacturer  
and device identification with a 64-bit Unique Serial Number.

W25Q128BV  
4. PIN DESCRIPTIONS  
4.1 Chip Select (/CS)  
The SPI Chip Select (/CS) pin enables and disables device operation. When /CS is high the device is  
deselected and the Serial Data Output (DO, or IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3) pins are at high impedance. When  
deselected, the devices power consumption will be at standby levels unless an internal erase, program or  
write status register cycle is in progress. When /CS is brought low the device will be selected, power  
consumption will increase to active levels and instructions can be written to and data read from the device.  
After power-up, /CS must transition from high to low before a new instruction will be accepted. The /CS  
input must track the VCC supply level at power-up (see “Write Protection” and Figure 38). If needed a pull-  
up resister on /CS can be used to accomplish this.  
4.2 Serial Data Input, Output and IOs (DI, DO and IO0, IO1, IO2, IO3)  
The W25Q128BV supports standard SPI, Dual SPI and Quad SPI operation. Standard SPI instructions  
use the unidirectional DI (input) pin to serially write instructions, addresses or data to the device on the  
rising edge of the Serial Clock (CLK) input pin. Standard SPI also uses the unidirectional DO (output) to  
read data or status from the device on the falling edge of CLK.  
Dual and Quad SPI instructions use the bidirectional IO pins to serially write instructions, addresses or  
data to the device on the rising edge of CLK and read data or status from the device on the falling edge of  
CLK. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 to be set.  
When QE=1, the /WP pin becomes IO2 and /HOLD pin becomes IO3.  
4.3 Write Protect (/WP)  
The Write Protect (/WP) pin can be used to prevent the Status Register from being written. Used in  
conjunction with the Status Register’s Block Protect (CMP, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits and Status  
Register Protect (SRP) bits, a portion as small as a 4KB sector or the entire memory array can be  
hardware protected. The /WP pin is active low. When the QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O,  
the /WP pin function is not available since this pin is used for IO2. See Figure 1a-c for the pin  
configuration of Quad I/O operation.  
4.4 HOLD (/HOLD)  
The /HOLD pin allows the device to be paused while it is actively selected. When /HOLD is brought low,  
while /CS is low, the DO pin will be at high impedance and signals on the DI and CLK pins will be ignored  
(don’t care). When /HOLD is brought high, device operation can resume. The /HOLD function can be  
useful when multiple devices are sharing the same SPI signals. The /HOLD pin is active low. When the  
QE bit of Status Register-2 is set for Quad I/O, the /HOLD pin function is not available since this pin is  
used for IO3. See Figure 1a-c for the pin configuration of Quad I/O operation.  
4.5 Serial Clock (CLK)  
The SPI Serial Clock Input (CLK) pin provides the timing for serial input and output operations. ("See SPI  
Operations")

6. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS  
6.1 SPI OPERATIONS  
6.1.1 Standard SPI Instructions  
The W25Q128BV is accessed through an SPI compatible bus consisting of four signals: Serial Clock  
(CLK), Chip Select (/CS), Serial Data Input (DI) and Serial Data Output (DO). Standard SPI instructions  
use the DI input pin to serially write instructions, addresses or data to the device on the rising edge of  
CLK. The DO output pin is used to read data or status from the device on the falling edge of CLK.  
SPI bus operation Mode 0 (0, 0) and 3 (1, 1) are supported. The primary difference between Mode 0 and  
Mode 3 concerns the normal state of the CLK signal when the SPI bus master is in standby and data is  
not being transferred to the Serial Flash. For Mode 0, the CLK signal is normally low on the falling and  
rising edges of /CS. For Mode 3, the CLK signal is normally high on the falling and rising edges of /CS.  
6.1.2 Dual SPI Instructions  
The W25Q128BV supports Dual SPI operation when using the “Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh)” and “Fast  
Read Dual I/O (BBh)” instructions. These instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device at  
two to three times the rate of ordinary Serial Flash devices. The Dual SPI Read instructions are ideal for  
quickly downloading code to RAM upon power-up (code-shadowing) or for executing non-speed-critical  
code directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Dual SPI instructions, the DI and DO pins become  
bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.  
6.1.3 Quad SPI Instructions  
The W25Q128BV supports Quad SPI operation when using the “Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh)”, “Fast  
Read Quad I/O (EBh)”, “Word Read Quad I/O (E7h)” and “Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h)” instructions.  
These instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device six to eight times the rate of ordinary  
Serial Flash. The Quad Read instructions offer a significant improvement in continuous and random  
access transfer rates allowing fast code-shadowing to RAM or execution directly from the SPI bus (XIP).  
When using Quad SPI instructions the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the /WP  
and /HOLD pins become IO2 and IO3 respectively. Quad SPI instructions require the non-volatile Quad  
Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 to be set.  
6.1.4 Hold Function  
For Standard SPI and Dual SPI operations, the /HOLD signal allows the W25Q128BV operation to be  
paused while it is actively selected (when /CS is low). The /HOLD function may be useful in cases where  
the SPI data and clock signals are shared with other devices. For example, consider if the page buffer  
was only partially written when a priority interrupt requires use of the SPI bus. In this case the /HOLD  
function can save the state of the instruction and the data in the buffer so programming can resume where  
it left off once the bus is available again. The /HOLD function is only available for standard SPI and Dual  
SPI operation, not during Quad SPI.  
To initiate a /HOLD condition, the device must be selected with /CS low. A /HOLD condition will activate on  
the falling edge of the /HOLD signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low the  
/HOLD condition will activate after the next falling edge of CLK. The /HOLD condition will terminate on the  
rising edge of the /HOLD signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low the /HOLD

W25Q128BV  
condition will terminate after the next falling edge of CLK. During a /HOLD condition, the Serial Data  
Output (DO) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (DI) and Serial Clock (CLK) are ignored. The Chip  
Select (/CS) signal should be kept active low for the full duration of the /HOLD operation to avoid resetting  
the internal logic state of the device.  
6.2 WRITE PROTECTION  
Applications that use non-volatile memory must take into consideration the possibility of noise and other  
adverse system conditions that may compromise data integrity. To address this concern, the W25Q128BV  
provides several means to protect the data from inadvertent writes.  
6.2.1 Write Protect Features  
Device resets when VCC is below threshold  
Time delay write disable after Power-up  
Write enable/disable instructions and automatic write disable after erase or program  
Software and Hardware (/WP pin) write protection using Status Register  
Write Protection using Power-down instruction  
Lock Down write protection until next power-up  
*
One Time Program (OTP) write protection  
* Note: This feature is available upon special order. Please contact Winbond for details.  
Upon power-up or at power-down, the W25Q128BV will maintain a reset condition while VCC is below the  
threshold value of VWI, (See Power-up Timing and Voltage Levels and Figure 38). While reset, all  
operations are disabled and no instructions are recognized. During power-up and after the VCC voltage  
exceeds VWI, all program and erase related instructions are further disabled for a time delay of tPUW. This  
includes the Write Enable, Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase and the Write Status  
Register instructions. Note that the chip select pin (/CS) must track the VCC supply level at power-up until  
the VCC-min level and tVSL time delay is reached. If needed a pull-up resister on /CS can be used to  
accomplish this.  
After power-up the device is automatically placed in a write-disabled state with the Status Register Write  
Enable Latch (WEL) set to a 0. A Write Enable instruction must be issued before a Page Program, Sector  
Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase or Write Status Register instruction will be accepted. After completing a  
program, erase or write instruction the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is automatically cleared to a write-  
disabled state of 0.  
Software controlled write protection is facilitated using the Write Status Register instruction and setting the  
Status Register Protect (SRP0, SRP1) and Block Protect (CMP, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0) bits. These  
settings allow a portion as small as 4KB sector or the entire memory array to be configured as read only.  
Used in conjunction with the Write Protect (/WP) pin, changes to the Status Register can be enabled or  
disabled under hardware control. See Status Register section for further information. Additionally, the  
Power-down instruction offers an extra level of write protection as all instructions are ignored except for  
the Release Power-down instruction.

7. STATUS REGISTERS AND INSTRUCTIONS  
The Read Status Register-1 and Status Register-2 instructions can be used to provide status on the  
availability of the Flash memory array, if the device is write enabled or disabled, the state of write  
protection, Quad SPI setting, Security Register lock status and Erase/Program Suspend status. The Write  
Status Register instruction can be used to configure the device write protection features, Quad SPI setting  
and Security Register OTP lock. Write access to the Status Register is controlled by the state of the non-  
volatile Status Register Protect bits (SRP0, SRP1), the Write Enable instruction, and during Standard/Dual  
SPI operations, the /WP pin.  
7.1 STATUS REGISTERS  
7.1.1 BUSY Status (BUSY)  
BUSY is a read only bit in the status register (S0) that is set to a 1 state when the device is executing a  
Page Program, Quad Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register or  
Erase/Program Security Register instruction. During this time the device will ignore further instructions  
except for the Read Status Register and Erase/Program Suspend instruction (see tW, tPP, tSE, tBE, and  
tCE in AC Characteristics). When the program, erase or write status/security register instruction has  
completed, the BUSY bit will be cleared to a 0 state indicating the device is ready for further instructions.  
7.1.2 Write Enable Latch Status (WEL)  
Write Enable Latch (WEL) is a read only bit in the status register (S1) that is set to 1 after executing a  
Write Enable Instruction. The WEL status bit is cleared to 0 when the device is write disabled. A write  
disable state occurs upon power-up or after any of the following instructions: Write Disable, Page  
Program, Quad Page Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register, Erase  
Security Register and Program Security Register.  
7.1.3 Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0)  
The Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register (S4, S3, and  
S2) that provide Write Protection control and status. Block Protect bits can be set using the Write Status  
Register Instruction (see tW in AC characteristics). All, none or a portion of the memory array can be  
protected from Program and Erase instructions (see Status Register Memory Protection table). The  
factory default setting for the Block Protection Bits is 0, none of the array protected.  
7.1.4 Top/Bottom Block Protect Bit (TB)  
The non-volatile Top/Bottom bit (TB) controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect from the  
Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array as shown in the Status Register Memory Protection table.  
The factory default setting is TB=0. The TB bit can be set with the Write Status Register Instruction  
depending on the state of the SRP0, SRP1 and WEL bits.  
7.1.5 Sector/Block Protect Bit (SEC)  
The non-volatile Sector/Block Protect bit (SEC) controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect  
either 4KB Sectors (SEC=1) or 64KB Blocks (SEC=0) in the Top (TB=0) or the Bottom (TB=1) of the array  
as shown in the Status Register Memory Protection table. The default setting is SEC=0.

W25Q128BV  
7.1.6 Complement Protect Bit (CMP)  
The Complement Protect bit (CMP) is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (S14). It is used in  
conjunction with SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits to provide more flexibility for the array protection. Once  
CMP is set to 1, previous array protection set by SEC, TB, BP2, BP1 and BP0 will be reversed. For  
instance, when CMP=0, a top 4KB sector can be protected while the rest of the array is not; when CMP=1,  
the top 4KB sector will become unprotected while the rest of the array become read-only. Please refer to  
the Status Register Memory Protection table for details. The default setting is CMP=0.  
7.1.7 Status Register Protect Bits (SRP1, SRP0)  
The Status Register Protect bits (SRP1 and SRP0) are non-volatile read/write bits in the status register  
(S8 and S7). The SRP bits control the method of write protection: software protection, hardware  
protection, power supply lock-down or one time programmable (OTP) protection.

2. This feature is available upon special order. Please contact Winbond for details.  
7.1.8 Erase/Program Suspend Status (SUS)  
The Suspend Status bit is a read only bit in the status register (S15) that is set to 1 after executing an  
Erase/Program Suspend (75h) instruction. The SUS status bit is cleared to 0 by Erase/Program Resume  
(7Ah) instruction as well as a power-down, power-up cycle.  
7.1.9 Security Register Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1)  
The Security Register Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1) are non-volatile One Time Program (OTP) bits in Status  
Register (S13, S12, S11) that provide the write protect control and status to the Security Registers. The  
default state of LB[3:1] is 0, Security Registers are unlocked. LB[3:1] can be set to 1 individually using the  
Write Status Register instruction. LB[3:1] are One Time Programmable (OTP), once it’s set to 1, the  
corresponding 256-Byte Security Register will become read-only permanently.

7.1.10 Quad Enable Bit (QE)  
The Quad Enable (QE) bit is a non-volatile read/write bit in the status register (S9) that allows Quad SPI  
operation. When the QE bit is set to a 0 state (factory default), the /WP pin and /HOLD pin are enabled.  
When the QE bit is set to a 1, the Quad IO2 and IO3 pins are enabled, and /WP and /HOLD functions are  
disabled.  
WARNING: If the /WP or /HOLD pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground during  
standard SPI or Dual SPI operation, the QE bit should never be set to a 1.

W25Q128BV  
7.2 INSTRUCTIONS  
The instruction set of the W25Q128BV consists of thirty five basic instructions that are fully controlled  
through the SPI bus (see Instruction Set table1-3). Instructions are initiated with the falling edge of Chip  
Select (/CS). The first byte of data clocked into the DI input provides the instruction code. Data on the DI  
input is sampled on the rising edge of clock with most significant bit (MSB) first.  
Instructions vary in length from a single byte to several bytes and may be followed by address bytes, data  
bytes, dummy bytes (don’t care), and in some cases, a combination. Instructions are completed with the  
rising edge of edge /CS. Clock relative timing diagrams for each instruction are included in Figures 4  
through 37. All read instructions can be completed after any clocked bit. However, all instructions that  
Write, Program or Erase must complete on a byte boundary (/CS driven high after a full 8-bits have been  
clocked) otherwise the instruction will be ignored. This feature further protects the device from inadvertent  
writes. Additionally, while the memory is being programmed or erased, or when the Status Register is  
being written, all instructions except for Read Status Register will be ignored until the program or erase  
cycle has completed.

7.2.5 Write Enable (06h)  
The Write Enable instruction (Figure 4) sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register to a  
1. The WEL bit must be set prior to every Page Program, Quad Page Program, Sector Erase, Block  
Erase, Chip Erase, Write Status Register and Erase/Program Security Registers instruction. The Write  
Enable instruction is entered by driving /CS low, shifting the instruction code “06h” into the Data Input (DI)  
pin on the rising edge of CLK, and then driving /CS high.

The non-volatile Status Register bits described in section 7.1 can also be written to as volatile bits. This  
gives more flexibility to change the system configuration and memory protection schemes quickly without  
waiting for the typical non-volatile bit write cycles or affecting the endurance of the Status Register non-  
volatile bits. To write the volatile values into the Status Register bits, the Write Enable for Volatile Status  
Register (50h) instruction must be issued prior to a Write Status Register (01h) instruction. Write Enable  
for Volatile Status Register instruction (Figure 5) will not set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit, it is only  
valid for the Write Status Register instruction to change the volatile Status Register bit values.

completion of the Write Status Register, Erase/Program Security Registers, Page Program, Quad Page  
Program, Sector Erase, Block Erase and Chip Erase instructions.

7.2.8 Read Status Register-1 (05h) and Read Status Register-2 (35h)  
The Read Status Register instructions allow the 8-bit Status Registers to be read. The instruction is  
entered by driving /CS low and shifting the instruction code “05h” for Status Register-1 or “35h” for Status  
Register-2 into the DI pin on the rising edge of CLK. The status register bits are then shifted out on the DO  
pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure 7. The Status  
Register bits are shown in Figure 3a and 3b and include the BUSY, WEL, BP2-BP0, TB, SEC, SRP0,  
SRP1, QE, LB[3:1], CMP and SUS bits (see Status Register section earlier in this datasheet).  
The Read Status Register instruction may be used at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write  
Status Register cycle is in progress. This allows the BUSY status bit to be checked to determine when the  
cycle is complete and if the device can accept another instruction. The Status Register can be read  
continuously, as shown in Figure 7. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.

7.2.9 Write Status Register (01h)  
The Write Status Register instruction allows the Status Register to be written. Only non-volatile Status  
Register bits SRP0, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, BP0 (bits 7 thru 2 of Status Register-1) and CMP, LB3, LB2,  
LB1, QE, SRP1 (bits 14 thru 8 of Status Register-2) can be written to. All other Status Register bit  
locations are read-only and will not be affected by the Write Status Register instruction. LB[3:1] are non-  
volatile OTP bits, once it is set to 1, it can not be cleared to 0. The Status Register bits are shown in  
Figure 3 and described in 7.1.  
To write non-volatile Status Register bits, a standard Write Enable (06h) instruction must previously have  
been executed for the device to accept the Write Status Register Instruction (Status Register bit WEL  
must equal 1). Once write enabled, the instruction is entered by driving /CS low, sending the instruction  
code “01h”, and then writing the status register data byte as illustrated in Figure 8.  
To write volatile Status Register bits, a Write Enable for Volatile Status Register (50h) instruction must  
have been executed prior to the Write Status Register instruction (Status Register bit WEL remains 0).  
However, SRP1 and LB3, LB2, LB1 can not be changed from “1” to “0” because of the OTP protection for  
these bits. Upon power off, the volatile Status Register bit values will be lost, and the non-volatile Status  
Register bit values will be restored when power on again.  
- 24 -  
 
W25Q128BV  
To complete the Write Status Register instruction, the /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth or  
sixteenth bit of data that is clocked in. If this is not done the Write Status Register instruction will not be  
executed. If /CS is driven high after the eighth clock (compatible with the 25X series) the CMP and QE bits  
will be cleared to 0.  
During non-volatile Status Register write operation (06h combined with 01h), after /CS is driven high, the  
self-timed Write Status Register cycle will commence for a time duration of tW (See AC Characteristics).  
While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be  
accessed to check the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Write Status Register cycle  
and a 0 when the cycle is finished and ready to accept other instructions again. After the Write Status  
Register cycle has finished, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register will be cleared to 0.  
During volatile Status Register write operation (50h combined with 01h), after /CS is driven high, the  
Status Register bits will be refreshed to the new values within the time period of tSHSL2 (See AC  
Characteristics). BUSY bit will remain 0 during the Status Register bit refresh period.  
Please refer to 7.1 for detailed Status Register Bit descriptions. Factory default for all status Register bits  
are 0.

7.2.10 Read Data (03h)  
The Read Data instruction allows one or more data bytes to be sequentially read from the memory. The  
instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and then shifting the instruction code “03h” followed by a  
24-bit address (A23-A0) into the DI pin. The code and address bits are latched on the rising edge of the  
CLK pin. After the address is received, the data byte of the addressed memory location will be shifted out  
on the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first. The address is automatically  
incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out allowing for a continuous  
stream of data. This means that the entire memory can be accessed with a single instruction as long as  
the clock continues. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.  
The Read Data instruction sequence is shown in Figure 9. If a Read Data instruction is issued while an  
Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any  
effects on the current cycle. The Read Data instruction allows clock rates from D.C. to a maximum of fR  
(see AC Electrical Characteristics).

The Fast Read instruction is similar to the Read Data instruction except that it can operate at the highest  
possible frequency of FR (see AC Electrical Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight  
“dummy” clocks after the 24-bit address as shown in Figure 10. The dummy clocks allow the devices  
internal circuits additional time for setting up the initial address. During the dummy clocks the data value  
on the DO pin is a “don’t care”.

7.2.12 Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh)  
The Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction is similar to the standard Fast Read (0Bh) instruction except  
that data is output on two pins; IO0 and IO1. This allows data to be transferred from the W25Q128BV at  
twice the rate of standard SPI devices. The Fast Read Dual Output instruction is ideal for quickly  
downloading code from Flash to RAM upon power-up or for applications that cache code-segments to  
RAM for execution.  
Similar to the Fast Read instruction, the Fast Read Dual Output instruction can operate at the highest  
possible frequency of FR (see AC Electrical Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight  
“dummy” clocks after the 24-bit address as shown in Figure 11. The dummy clocks allow the device's  
internal circuits additional time for setting up the initial address. The input data during the dummy clocks is  
“don’t care”. However, the IO0 pin should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out  
clock.

7.2.13 Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh)  
The Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction  
except that data is output on four pins, IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. A Quad enable of Status Register-2 must be  
executed before the device will accept the Fast Read Quad Output Instruction (Status Register bit QE  
must equal 1). The Fast Read Quad Output Instruction allows data to be transferred from the  
W25Q128BV at four times the rate of standard SPI devices.  
The Fast Read Quad Output instruction can operate at the highest possible frequency of FR (see AC  
Electrical Characteristics). This is accomplished by adding eight “dummy” clocks after the 24-bit address  
as shown in Figure 12. The dummy clocks allow the device's internal circuits additional time for setting up  
the initial address. The input data during the dummy clocks is “don’t care”. However, the IO pins should be  
high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.

7.2.14 Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh)  
The Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh) instruction allows for improved random access while maintaining two IO  
pins, IO0 and IO1. It is similar to the Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction but with the capability to input  
the Address bits (A23-0) two bits per clock. This reduced instruction overhead may allow for code  
execution (XIP) directly from the Dual SPI in some applications.  
Fast Read Dual I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Fast Read Dual I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the  
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 13a. The  
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Dual I/O instruction through the  
inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t care  
(“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.  
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 = (1,0), then the next Fast Read Dual I/O instruction (after /CS is  
raised and then lowered) does not require the BBh instruction code, as shown in Figure 13b. This reduces  
the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be immediately entered after /CS  
is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the next instruction (after  
/CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus returning to normal operation.  
A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset instruction can also be used to reset (M7-0) before issuing normal  
instructions (See 7.2.20 for detail descriptions).

7.2.15 Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh)  
The Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh) instruction except  
that address and data bits are input and output through four pins IO0, IO1, IO2 and IO3 and four Dummy  
clock are required prior to the data output. The Quad I/O dramatically reduces instruction overhead  
allowing faster random access for code execution (XIP) directly from the Quad SPI. The Quad Enable bit  
(QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to enable the Fast Read Quad I/O Instruction.  
Fast Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the  
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 14a. The  
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction through the  
inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t care  
(“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.  
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 = (1,0), then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction (after /CS  
is raised and then lowered) does not require the EBh instruction code, as shown in Figure 14b. This  
reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be immediately entered  
after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the next  
instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus returning to  
normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset instruction can also be used to reset (M7-0) before  
issuing normal instructions (See 7.2.20 for detail descriptions).

Fast Read Quad I/O with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around”  
The Fast Read Quad I/O instruction can also be used to access a specific portion within a page by issuing  
a “Set Burst with Wrap” command prior to EBh. The “Set Burst with Wrap” command can either enable or  
disable the “Wrap Around” feature for the following EBh commands. When “Wrap Around” is enabled, the  
data being accessed can be limited to either an 8, 16, 32 or 64-byte section of a 256-byte page. The  
output data starts at the initial address specified in the instruction, once it reaches the ending boundary of  
the 8/16/32/64-byte section, the output will wrap around to the beginning boundary automatically until /CS  
is pulled high to terminate the command.  
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address and then  
fill the cache afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing multiple read  
commands.  
The “Set Burst with Wrap” instruction allows three “Wrap Bits”, W6-4 to be set. The W4 bit is used to  
enable or disable the “Wrap Around” operation while W6-5 are used to specify the length of the wrap  
around section within a page. See 7.2.18 for detail descriptions.

7.2.16 Word Read Quad I/O (E7h)  
The Word Read Quad I/O (E7h) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction except  
that the lowest Address bit (A0) must equal 0 and only two Dummy clocks are required prior to the data  
output. The Quad I/O dramatically reduces instruction overhead allowing faster random access for code  
execution (XIP) directly from the Quad SPI. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to  
enable the Word Read Quad I/O Instruction.  
Word Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the  
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 15a. The  
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction through the  
inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t care  
(“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.  
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 = (1,0), then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction (after /CS  
is raised and then lowered) does not require the E7h instruction code, as shown in Figure 15b. This  
reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be immediately entered  
after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the next  
instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus returning to  
normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset instruction can also be used to reset (M7-0) before  
issuing normal instructions (See 7.2.20 for detail descriptions).

Word Read Quad I/O with “8/16/32/64-Byte Wrap Around”  
The Word Read Quad I/O instruction can also be used to access a specific portion within a page by  
issuing a “Set Burst with Wrap” command prior to E7h. The “Set Burst with Wrap” command can either  
enable or disable the “Wrap Around” feature for the following E7h commands. When “Wrap Around” is  
enabled, the data being accessed can be limited to either an 8, 16, 32 or 64-byte section of a 256-byte  
page. The output data starts at the initial address specified in the instruction, once it reaches the ending

automatically until /CS is pulled high to terminate the command.  
The Burst with Wrap feature allows applications that use cache to quickly fetch a critical address and then  
fill the cache afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-byte) of data without issuing multiple read

7.2.17 Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h)  
The Octal Word Read Quad I/O (E3h) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction  
except that the lower four Address bits (A0, A1, A2, A3) must equal 0. As a result, the dummy clocks are  
not required, which further reduces the instruction overhead allowing even faster random access for code  
execution (XIP). The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to enable the Octal Word  
Read Quad I/O Instruction.  
Octal Word Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”  
The Octal Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the  
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 16a. The  
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Octal Word Read Quad I/O instruction through  
the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t  
care (“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out  
clock.  
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 = (1,0), then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction (after /CS  
is raised and then lowered) does not require the E3h instruction code, as shown in Figure 16b. This  
reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be immediately entered  
after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the next  
instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus returning to  
normal operation. A “Continuous Read Mode” Reset instruction can also be used to reset (M7-0) before  
issuing normal instructions (See 7.2.20 for detail descriptions).

7.2.18 Set Burst with Wrap (77h)  
The Set Burst with Wrap (77h) instruction is used in conjunction with “Fast Read Quad I/O” and “Word  
Read Quad I/O” instructions to access a fixed length of 8/16/32/64-byte section within a 256-byte page.  
Certain applications can benefit from this feature and improve the overall system code execution  
performance.  
Similar to a Quad I/O instruction, the Set Burst with Wrap instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low  
and then shifting the instruction code “77h” followed by 24 dummy bits and 8 “Wrap Bits”, W7-0. The  
instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17. Wrap bit W7 and the lower nibble W3-0 are not used.

Once W6-4 is set by a Set Burst with Wrap instruction, all the following “Fast Read Quad I/O” and “Word  
Read Quad I/O” instructions will use the W6-4 setting to access the 8/16/32/64-byte section within any  
page. To exit the “Wrap Around” function and return to normal read operation, another Set Burst with  
Wrap instruction should be issued to set W4 = 1. The default value of W4 upon power on is 1. In the case  
of a system Reset while W4 = 0, it is recommended that the controller issues a Set Burst with Wrap  
instruction to reset W4 = 1 prior to any normal Read instructions since W25Q128BV does not have a  
hardware Reset Pin.

7.2.19 Continuous Read Mode Bits (M7-0)  
The “Continuous Read Mode” bits are used in conjunction with “Fast Read Dual I/O”, “Fast Read Quad  
I/O”, “Word Read Quad I/O” and “Octal Word Read Quad I/O” instructions to provide the highest random  
Flash memory access rate with minimum SPI instruction overhead, thus allow true XIP (execute in place)  
to be performed on serial flash devices.  
M7-0 need to be set by the Dual/Quad I/O Read instructions. M5-4 are used to control whether the 8-bit  
SPI instruction code (BBh, EBh, E7h or E3h) is needed or not for the next command. When M5-4 = (1,0),  
the next command will be treated same as the current Dual/Quad I/O Read command without needing the  
8-bit instruction code; when M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the device returns to normal SPI mode, all  
commands can be accepted. M7-6 and M3-0 are reserved bits for future use, either 0 or 1 values can be  
used.  
7.2.20 Continuous Read Mode Reset (FFh or FFFFh)  
Continuous Read Mode Reset instruction can be used to set M4 = 1, thus the device will release the  
Continuous Read Mode and return to normal SPI operation, as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18. Continuous Read Mode Reset for Fast Read Dual/Quad I/O  
Since W25Q128BV does not have a hardware Reset pin, so if the controller resets while W25Q128BV is  
set to Continuous Mode Read, the W25Q128BV will not recognize any initial standard SPI instructions  
from the controller. To address this possibility, it is recommended to issue a Continuous Read Mode  
Reset instruction as the first instruction after a system Reset. Doing so will release the device from the  
Continuous Read Mode and allow Standard SPI instructions to be recognized.  
To reset “Continuous Read Mode” during Quad I/O operation, only eight clocks are needed. The  
instruction is “FFh”. To reset “Continuous Read Mode” during Dual I/O operation, sixteen clocks are  
needed to shift in instruction “FFFFh”.

7.2.21 Page Program (02h)  
The Page Program instruction allows from one byte to 256 bytes (a page) of data to be programmed at  
previously erased (FFh) memory locations. A Write Enable instruction must be executed before the device  
will accept the Page Program Instruction (Status Register bit WEL= 1). The instruction is initiated by  
driving the /CS pin low then shifting the instruction code “02h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and  
at least one data byte, into the DI pin. The /CS pin must be held low for the entire length of the instruction  
while data is being sent to the device. The Page Program instruction sequence is shown in Figure 19.  
If an entire 256 byte page is to be programmed, the last address byte (the 8 least significant address bits)  
should be set to 0. If the last address byte is not zero, and the number of clocks exceed the remaining  
page length, the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the page. In some cases, less than 256 bytes (a  
partial page) can be programmed without having any effect on other bytes within the same page. One  
condition to perform a partial page program is that the number of clocks can not exceed the remaining  
page length. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device the addressing will wrap to the beginning of the  
page and overwrite previously sent data.  
As with the write and erase instructions, the /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last byte  
has been latched. If this is not done the Page Program instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven  
high, the self-timed Page Program instruction will commence for a time duration of tpp (See AC  
Characteristics). While the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may  
still be accessed for checking the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Page Program  
cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions  
again. After the Page Program cycle has finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register  
is cleared to 0. The Page Program instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by  
the Block Protect (CMP, SEC, TB, BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits.

7.2.22 Quad Input Page Program (32h)  
The Quad Page Program instruction allows up to 256 bytes of data to be programmed at previously  
erased (FFh) memory locations using four pins: IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. The Quad Page Program can  
improve performance for PROM Programmer and applications that have slow clock speeds <5MHz.  
Systems with faster clock speed will not realize much benefit for the Quad Page Program instruction since  
the inherent page program time is much greater than the time it take to clock-in the data.  
To use Quad Page Program the Quad Enable in Status Register-2 must be set (QE=1). A Write Enable  
instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Quad Page Program instruction (Status  
Register-1, WEL=1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low then shifting the instruction code  
“32h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and at least one data byte, into the IO pins. The /CS pin must  
be held low for the entire length of the instruction while data is being sent to the device. All other functions  
of Quad Page Program are identical to standard Page Program. The Quad Page Program instruction  
sequence is shown in Figure 20.

7.2.23 Sector Erase (20h)  
The Sector Erase instruction sets all memory within a specified sector (4K-bytes) to the erased state of all  
1s (FFh). A Write Enable instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Sector Erase  
Instruction (Status Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low  
and shifting the instruction code “20h” followed a 24-bit sector address (A23-A0) (see Figure 2). The  
Sector Erase instruction sequence is shown in Figure 21.  
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched. If this is not done the  
Sector Erase instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Sector Erase  
instruction will commence for a time duration of tSE (See AC Characteristics). While the Sector Erase  
cycle is in progress, the Read Status Register instruction may still be accessed for checking the status of  
the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is a 1 during the Sector Erase cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is  
finished and the device is ready to accept other instructions again. After the Sector Erase cycle has  
finished the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The Sector Erase  
instruction will not be executed if the addressed page is protected by the Block Protect (CMP, SEC, TB,  
BP2, BP1, and BP0) bits (see Status Register Memory Protection table).

7.2.27 Erase / Program Suspend (75h)  
The Erase/Program Suspend instruction “75h”, allows the system to interrupt a Sector or Block Erase  
operation or a Page Program operation and then read from or program/erase data to, any other sectors or  
blocks. The Erase/Program Suspend instruction sequence is shown in Figure 25.  
The Write Status Register instruction (01h) and Erase instructions (20h, 52h, D8h, C7h, 60h, 44h) are not  
allowed during Erase Suspend. Erase Suspend is valid only during the Sector or Block erase operation. If  
written during the Chip Erase operation, the Erase Suspend instruction is ignored. The Write Status  
Register instruction (01h) and Program instructions (02h, 32h, 42h) are not allowed during Program  
Suspend. Program Suspend is valid only during the Page Program or Quad Page Program operation.  
The Erase/Program Suspend instruction “75h” will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the  
Status Register equals to 0 and the BUSY bit equals to 1 while a Sector or Block Erase or a Page  
Program operation is on-going. If the SUS bit equals to 1 or the BUSY bit equals to 0, the Suspend  
instruction will be ignored by the device. A maximum of time of “tSUS” (See AC Characteristics) is required  
to suspend the erase or program operation. The BUSY bit in the Status Register will be cleared from 1 to  
0 within “tSUS” and the SUS bit in the Status Register will be set from 0 to 1 immediately after  
Erase/Program Suspend. For a previously resumed Erase/Program operation, it is also required that the  
Suspend instruction “75h” is not issued earlier than a minimum of time of “tSUS” following the preceding  
Resume instruction “7Ah”.  
Unexpected power off during the Erase/Program suspend state will reset the device and release the  
suspend state. SUS bit in the Status Register will also reset to 0. The data within the page, sector or block  
that was being suspended may become corrupted. When the device is powered up again, it is  
recommended for the user to repeat the same Erase or Program operation that was interrupted, at the  
same address location, to avoid the potention data corruption.

The Erase/Program Resume instruction “7Ah” must be written to resume the Sector or Block Erase  
operation or the Page Program operation after an Erase/Program Suspend. The Resume instruction “7Ah”  
will be accepted by the device only if the SUS bit in the Status Register equals to 1 and the BUSY bit  
equals to 0. After issued the SUS bit will be cleared from 1 to 0 immediately, the BUSY bit will be set from  
0 to 1 within 200ns and the Sector or Block will complete the erase operation or the page will complete the  
program operation. If the SUS bit equals to 0 or the BUSY bit equals to 1, the Resume instruction “7Ah”  
will be ignored by the device. The Erase/Program Resume instruction sequence is shown in Figure 26.  
Resume instruction is ignored if the previous Erase/Program Suspend operation was interrupted by  
unexpected power off. It is also required that a subsequent Erase/Program Suspend instruction not to be  
issued within a minimum of time of “tSUS” following a previous Resume instruction.

7.2.29 Power-down (B9h)  
Although the standby current during normal operation is relatively low, standby current can be further  
reduced with the Power-down instruction. The lower power consumption makes the Power-down  
instruction especially useful for battery powered applications (See ICC1 and ICC2 in AC Characteristics).  
The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “B9h” as shown in  
Figure 27.  
The /CS pin must be driven high after the eighth bit has been latched. If this is not done the Power-down  
instruction will not be executed. After /CS is driven high, the power-down state will entered within the time  
duration of tDP (See AC Characteristics). While in the power-down state only the Release from Power-  
down / Device ID instruction, which restores the device to normal operation, will be recognized. All other  
instructions are ignored. This includes the Read Status Register instruction, which is always available  
during normal operation. Ignoring all but one instruction makes the Power Down state a useful condition  
for securing maximum write protection. The device always powers-up in the normal operation with the  
standby current of ICC1.

7.2.30 Release Power-down / Device ID (ABh)  
The Release from Power-down / Device ID instruction is a multi-purpose instruction. It can be used to  
release the device from the power-down state, or obtain the devices electronic identification (ID) number.  
To release the device from the power-down state, the instruction is issued by driving the /CS pin low,  
shifting the instruction code “ABh” and driving /CS high as shown in Figure 28a. Release from power-down  
will take the time duration of tRES1 (See AC Characteristics) before the device will resume normal  
operation and other instructions are accepted. The /CS pin must remain high during the tRES1 time  
duration.  
When used only to obtain the Device ID while not in the power-down state, the instruction is initiated by  
driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “ABh” followed by 3-dummy bytes. The Device ID  
bits are then shifted out on the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure  
28a. The Device ID values for the W25Q128BV is listed in Manufacturer and Device Identification table.  
The Device ID can be read continuously. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.  
When used to release the device from the power-down state and obtain the Device ID, the instruction is  
the same as previously described, and shown in Figure 28b, except that after /CS is driven high it must  
remain high for a time duration of tRES2 (See AC Characteristics). After this time duration the device will  
resume normal operation and other instructions will be accepted. If the Release from Power-down /  
Device ID instruction is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (when BUSY equals  
1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

7.2.31 Read Manufacturer / Device ID (90h)  
The Read Manufacturer/Device ID instruction is an alternative to the Release from Power-down / Device  
ID instruction that provides both the JEDEC assigned manufacturer ID and the specific device ID.  
The Read Manufacturer/Device ID instruction is very similar to the Release from Power-down / Device ID  
instruction. The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “90h”  
followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) of 000000h. After which, the Manufacturer ID for Winbond (EFh)  
and the Device ID are shifted out on the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown  
in Figure 29. The Device ID values for the W25Q128BV is listed in Manufacturer and Device Identification  
table. If the 24-bit address is initially set to 000001h the Device ID will be read first and then followed by  
the Manufacturer ID. The Manufacturer and Device IDs can be read continuously, alternating from one to  
the other. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high.

W25Q128BV  
7.2.34 Read Unique ID Number (4Bh)  
The Read Unique ID Number instruction accesses a factory-set read-only 64-bit number that is unique to  
each W25Q128BV device. The ID number can be used in conjunction with user software methods to help  
prevent copying or cloning of a system. The Read Unique ID instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin  
low and shifting the instruction code “4Bh” followed by a four bytes of dummy clocks. After which, the 64-  
bit ID is shifted out on the falling edge of CLK as shown in Figure 32.

W25Q128BV  
7.2.35 Read JEDEC ID (9Fh)  
For compatibility reasons, the W25Q128BV provides several instructions to electronically determine the  
identity of the device. The Read JEDEC ID instruction is compatible with the JEDEC standard for SPI  
compatible serial memories that was adopted in 2003. The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low  
and shifting the instruction code “9Fh”. The JEDEC assigned Manufacturer ID byte for Winbond (EFh) and  
two Device ID bytes, Memory Type (ID15-ID8) and Capacity (ID7-ID0) are then shifted out on the falling  
edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first as shown in Figure 33. For memory type and capacity  
values refer to Manufacturer and Device Identification table.

W25Q128BV  
7.2.36 Read SFDP Register (5Ah)  
The W25Q128BV features a 256-Byte Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) register that contains  
information about device configurations, available instructions and other features. The SFDP parameters  
are stored in one or more Parameter Identification (PID) tables. Currently only one PID table is specified,  
but more may be added in the future. The Read SFDP Register instruction is compatible with the SFDP  
standard initially established in 2010 for PC and other applications, as well as the JEDEC standard 1.0  
that is published in 2011. Most Winbond SpiFlash Memories shipped after June 2011 (date code 1124  
and beyond) support the SFDP feature as specified in the applicable datasheet.  
The Read SFDP instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the instruction code “5Ah”  
followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0)(1) into the DI pin. Eight “dummy” clocks are also required before the  
SFDP register contents are shifted out on the falling edge of the 40th CLK with most significant bit (MSB)  
first as shown in Figure 34. For SFDP register values and descriptions, refer to the following SFDP  
Definition table.  
Note 1: A23-A8 = 0; A7-A0 are used to define the starting byte address for the 256-Byte SFDP Register.

7.2.37 Erase Security Registers (44h)  
The W25Q128BV offers three 256-byte Security Registers which can be erased and programmed  
individually. These registers may be used by the system manufacturers to store security and other  
important information separately from the main memory array.  
The Erase Security Register instruction is similar to the Sector Erase instruction. A Write Enable  
instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Erase Security Register Instruction (Status  
Register bit WEL must equal 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low and shifting the  
instruction code “44h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) to erase one of the three security registers.

Don’t Care  
The Erase Security Register instruction sequence is shown in Figure 35. The /CS pin must be driven high  
after the eighth bit of the last byte has been latched. If this is not done the instruction will not be executed.  
After /CS is driven high, the self-timed Erase Security Register operation will commence for a time  
duration of tSE (See AC Characteristics). While the Erase Security Register cycle is in progress, the Read  
Status Register instruction may still be accessed for checking the status of the BUSY bit. The BUSY bit is  
a 1 during the erase cycle and becomes a 0 when the cycle is finished and the device is ready to accept  
other instructions again. After the Erase Security Register cycle has finished the Write Enable Latch  
(WEL) bit in the Status Register is cleared to 0. The Security Register Lock Bits LB[3:1] in the Status  
Register-2 can be used to OTP protect the security registers. Once a lock bit is set to 1, the corresponding  
security register will be permanently locked, Erase Security Register instruction to that register will be  
ignored (See 7.1.9 for detail descriptions).

7.2.38 Program Security Registers (42h)  
The Program Security Register instruction is similar to the Page Program instruction. It allows from one  
byte to 256 bytes of security register data to be programmed at previously erased (FFh) memory locations.  
A Write Enable instruction must be executed before the device will accept the Program Security Register  
Instruction (Status Register bit WEL= 1). The instruction is initiated by driving the /CS pin low then shifting  
the instruction code “42h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and at least one data byte, into the DI pin.  
The /CS pin must be held low for the entire length of the instruction while data is being sent to the device.

7.2.39 Read Security Registers (48h)  
The Read Security Register instruction is similar to the Fast Read instruction and allows one or more data  
bytes to be sequentially read from one of the three security registers. The instruction is initiated by driving  
the /CS pin low and then shifting the instruction code “48h” followed by a 24-bit address (A23-A0) and  
eight “dummy” clocks into the DI pin. The code and address bits are latched on the rising edge of the CLK  
pin. After the address is received, the data byte of the addressed memory location will be shifted out on  
the DO pin at the falling edge of CLK with most significant bit (MSB) first. The byte address is  
automatically incremented to the next byte address after each byte of data is shifted out. Once the byte  
address reaches the last byte of the register (byte FFh), it will reset to 00h, the first byte of the register,  
and continue to increment. The instruction is completed by driving /CS high. The Read Security Register  
instruction sequence is shown in Figure 37. If a Read Security Register instruction is issued while an  
Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (BUSY=1) the instruction is ignored and will not have any  
effects on the current cycle. The Read Security Register instruction allows clock rates from D.C. to a  
maximum of FR (see AC Electrical Characteristics).
