The memory can be programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time, using the Page Program instruction. The memory is organized as 4 sectors, each containing 128 pages. Each page is 256 bytes wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 512 pages, or 131,072 bytes. The whole memory can be erased using the Bulk Erase instruction, or a sector at a time, using the Sector Erase instruction. In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in ECOPACK(R) packages. ECOPACK(R) packages are Lead-free and RoHS compliant. ECOPACK is an ST trademark. ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com. Figure 1. Logic Diagram VCC D Q C S M25P10-A W HOLD VSS AI05760 Figure 2.

Signal Names C Serial Clock D Serial Data Input Q Serial Data Output S Chip Select W Write Protect HOLD Hold VCC Supply Voltage VSS Ground 7/49 Signal description 2 Signal description 2.1 Serial Data Output (Q) M25P10-A This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). 2.2 Serial Data Input (D) This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). 2.3 Serial Clock (C) This input signal provides the timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data present at Serial Data Input (D) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data on Serial Data Output (Q) changes after the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). 2.4 Chip Select (S) When this input signal is High, the device is deselected and Serial Data Output (Q) is at high impedance. Unless an internal Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the device will be in the Standby mode (this is not the Deep Power-down mode). Driving Chip Select (S) Low selects the device, placing it in the Active Power mode. After Power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select (S) is required prior to the start of any instruction. 2.5 Hold (HOLD) The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without deselecting the device. During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are Don't Care. To start the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low. 2.6 Write Protect (W) The main purpose of this input signal is to freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected against program or erase instructions (as specified by the values in the BP1 and BP0 bits of the Status Register). 8/49 M25P10-A 3 SPI modes SPI modes These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of the two following modes: CPOL=0, CPHA=0 CPOL=1, CPHA=1 For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and output data is available from the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 4, is the clock polarity when the bus master is in Stand-by mode and not transferring data: Figure 3. C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) Bus Master and memory devices on the SPI Bus VSS VCC R(2) SDO SPI Interface with (CPOL, CPHA) = (0, 0) or (1, 1) SDI SCK VCC C Q D SPI Bus Master SPI Memory Device R(2) CS3 CS2 VCC C Q D VSS C Q D VCC VSS VSS SPI Memory R(2) Device R(2) SPI Memory Device CS1 S W HOLD S W HOLD S W HOLD AI12836 1. The Write Protect (W) and Hold (HOLD) signals should be driven, High or Low as appropriate. 2. These pull-up resistors, R, ensure that the memory devices are not selected if the Bus Master leaves the S line in the highimpedance state. As the Bus Master may enter a state where all inputs/outputs are in high impedance at the same time (e.g.: when the Bus Master is reset), the clock line (C) must be connected to an external pull-down resistor so that, when all inputs/outputs become high impedance, S is pulled High while C is pulled Low (thus ensuring that S and C do not become High at the same time, and so, that the tSHCH requirement is met). 9/49 SPI modes M25P10-A Figure 4. SPI Modes Supported CPOL CPHA 0 0 C 1 1 C D Q MSB MSB AI01438B 10/49 M25P10-A Operating features 4 Operating features 4.1 Page Programming To program one data byte, two instructions are required: Write Enable (WREN), which is one byte, and a Page Program (PP) sequence, which consists of four bytes plus data. This is followed by the internal Program cycle (of duration tPP). To spread this overhead, the Page Program (PP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes to be programmed at a time (changing bits from 1 to 0), provided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the same page of memory. For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the Page Program (PP) instruction to program all consecutive targeted Bytes in a single sequence versus using several Page Program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few Bytes (see Page Program (PP) and Table 16: Instruction Times (Device Grade 6)). 4.2 Sector Erase and Bulk Erase The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bits to be reset from 1 to 0. Before this can be applied, the bytes of memory need to have been erased to all 1s (FFh). This can be achieved either a sector at a time, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, or throughout the entire memory, using the Bulk Erase (BE) instruction. This starts an internal Erase cycle (of duration tSE or tBE). The Erase instruction must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. 4.3 Polling During a Write, Program or Erase Cycle A further improvement in the time to Write Status Register (WRSR), Program (PP) or Erase (SE or BE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst case delay (tW, tPP, tSE, or tBE). The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is provided in the Status Register so that the application program can monitor its value, polling it to establish when the previous Write cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle is complete. 4.4 Active Power, Standby Power and Deep Power-Down Modes When Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is selected, and in the Active Power mode. When Chip Select (S) is High, the device is deselected, but could remain in the Active Power mode until all internal cycles have completed (Program, Erase, Write Status Register). The device then goes in to the Standby Power mode. The device consumption drops to ICC1. The Deep Power-down mode is entered when the specific instruction (the Deep Powerdown (DP) instruction) is executed. The device consumption drops further to ICC2. The device remains in this mode until another specific instruction (the Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction) is executed. While in the Deep Power-down mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase instructions (see Deep Power-down (DP)). This can be used as an extra software protection mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to protect the device from inadvertent Write, Program or Erase instructions. 11/49 Operating features 4.5 M25P10-A Status Register The Status Register contains a number of status and control bits, as shown in Table 6, that can be read or set (as appropriate) by specific instructions. For a detailed description of the Status Register bits, see Section 6.4: Read Status Register (RDSR). 4.6 Protection Modes The environments where non-volatile memory devices are used can be very noisy. No SPI device can operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this, the M25P10-A features the following data protection mechanisms: Power On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide protection against inadvertant changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification. Program, Erase and Write Status Register instructions are checked that they consist of a number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for execution. All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state by the following events: - Power-up - Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion - Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion - Page Program (PP) instruction completion - Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion - Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits allow part of the memory to be configured as readonly. This is the Software Protected Mode (SPM). The Write Protect (W) signal, in co-operation with the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit, allows the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits and Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit to be write-protected. This is the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). In addition to the low power consumption feature, the Deep Power-down mode offers extra software protection, as all Write, Program and Erase instructions are ignored. Table 2. Protected Area Sizes Status Register Content Memory Content BP1 Bit BP0 Bit Protected Area Unprotected Area 0 0 none All sectors(1) (four sectors: 0, 1, 2 and 3) 0 1 Upper quarter (Sector 3) Lower three-quarters (three sectors: 0 to 2) 1 0 Upper half (two sectors: 2 and 3) Lower half (Sectors 0 and 1) 1 1 All sectors (four sectors: 0, 1, 2 and 3) none 1. The device is ready to accept a Bulk Erase instruction if, and only if, both Block Protect (BP1, BP0) are 0. 12/49 M25P10-A 4.7 Operating features Hold Condition The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any serial communications with the device without resetting the clocking sequence. However, taking this signal Low does not terminate any Write Status Register, Program or Erase cycle that is currently in progress. To enter the Hold condition, the device must be selected, with Chip Select (S) Low. The Hold condition starts on the falling edge of the Hold (HOLD) signal, provided that this coincides with Serial Clock (C) being Low (as shown in Figure 5). The Hold condition ends on the rising edge of the Hold (HOLD) signal, provided that this coincides with Serial Clock (C) being Low. If the falling edge does not coincide with Serial Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition starts after Serial Clock (C) next goes Low. Similarly, if the rising edge does not coincide with Serial Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition ends after Serial Clock (C) next goes Low. (This is shown in Figure 5). During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Output (Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D) and Serial Clock (C) are Don't Care. Normally, the device is kept selected, with Chip Select (S) driven Low, for the whole duration of the Hold condition. This is to ensure that the state of the internal logic remains unchanged from the moment of entering the Hold condition. If Chip Select (S) goes High while the device is in the Hold condition, this has the effect of resetting the internal logic of the device. To restart communication with the device, it is necessary to drive Hold (HOLD) High, and then to drive Chip Select (S) Low. This prevents the device from going back to the Hold condition. Figure 5.

Each page can be individually programmed (bits are programmed from 1 to 0). The device is Sector or Bulk Erasable (bits are erased from 0 to 1) but not Page Erasable. Table 3. Memory Organization Sector Figure 6. Address Range 3 18000h 1FFFFh 2 10000h 17FFFh 1 08000h 0FFFFh 0 00000h 07FFFh Block Diagram HOLD W High Voltage Generator Control Logic S C D I/O Shift Register Q Address Register and Counter Status Register 256 Byte Data Buffer 1FFFFh Y Decoder 18000h 10000h 08000h 00000h 000FFh 256 Bytes (Page Size) X Decoder 14/49 M25P10-A 6 Instructions Instructions All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, most significant bit first. Serial Data Input (D) is sampled on the first rising edge of Serial Clock (C) after Chip Select (S) is driven Low. Then, the one-byte instruction code must be shifted in to the device, most significant bit first, on Serial Data Input (D), each bit being latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C). The instruction set is listed in Table 4. Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code. Depending on the instruction, this might be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the last bit of the instruction sequence has been shifted in. In the case of a Read Data Bytes (READ), Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (Fast_Read), Read Identification (RDID), Read Status Register (RDSR) or Release from Deep Powerdown, and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. Chip Select (S) can be driven High after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out. In the case of a Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE), Write Status Register (WRSR), Write Enable (WREN), Write Disable (WRDI) or Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, Chip Select (S) must be driven High exactly at a byte boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is not executed. That is, Chip Select (S) must driven High when the number of clock pulses after Chip Select (S) being driven Low is an exact multiple of eight. All attempts to access the memory array during a Write Status Register cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle are ignored, and the internal Write Status Register cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle continues unaffected. 15/49 Instructions M25P10-A Table 4.

The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is available only in products with Process Technology code X (see Application Note AN1995). 6.1 Write Enable (WREN) The Write Enable (WREN) instruction (Figure 7) sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set prior to every Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE) and Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction. The Write Enable (WREN) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, sending the instruction code, and then driving Chip Select (S) High. Figure 7.

The Write Disable (WRDI) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, sending the instruction code, and then driving Chip Select (S) High. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset under the following conditions: Power-up Write Disable (WRDI) instruction completion Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction completion Page Program (PP) instruction completion Sector Erase (SE) instruction completion Bulk Erase (BE) instruction completion Figure 8. Write Disable (WRDI) Instruction Sequence S 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 C Instruction D High Impedance Q AI03750D 17/49 Instructions 6.3 M25P10-A Read Identification (RDID) The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is available in products with Process Technology code X only. The Read Identification (RDID) instruction allows the 8-bit manufacturer identification to be read, followed by two bytes of device identification. The manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC, and has the value 20h for STMicroelectronics. The device identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and indicates the memory type in the first byte (20h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte (11h). Any Read Identification (RDID) instruction while an Erase or Program cycle is in progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. The Read Identification (RDID) instruction should not be issued while the device is in Deep Power-down mode. The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. Then, the 8-bit instruction code for the instruction is shifted in. This is followed by the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory, being shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 9 The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High at any time during data output. When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the Stand-by Power mode. Once in the Stand-by Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. Table 5.

The Status Register may be read at any time, even while a Program, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the Write In Progress (WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also possible to read the Status Register continuously, as shown in Figure 10. Table 6. Status Register Format b7 SRWD b0 0 0 0 BP1 BP0 WEL WIP Status Register Write Protect Block Protect Bits Write Enable Latch Bit Write In Progress Bit The status and control bits of the Status Register are as follows: 6.4.1 WIP bit The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a Write Status Register, Program or Erase cycle. When set to 1, such a cycle is in progress, when reset to 0 no such cycle is in progress. 6.4.2 WEL bit The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal Write Enable Latch. When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is set, when set to 0 the internal Write Enable Latch is reset and no Write Status Register, Program or Erase instruction is accepted. 6.4.3 BP1, BP0 bits The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software protected against Program and Erase instructions. These bits are written with the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction. When one or both of the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits is set to 1, the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 2) becomes protected against Page Program (PP) and Sector Erase (SE) instructions. The Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hardware Protected mode has not been set. The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is executed if, and only if, both Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are 0. 6.4.4 SRWD bit The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected mode (when the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect (W) is driven Low). In this mode, the non-volatile bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP1, BP0) become read-only bits and the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for execution. 19/49 Instructions M25P10-A Figure 10.

Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL). The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code and the data byte on Serial Data Input (D). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 11. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b4, b1 and b0 of the Status Register. b6, b5 and b4 are always read as 0. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Write Status Register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Write Status Register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is reset. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as readonly, as defined in Table 2. The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W) signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction is not executed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is entered. The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 7. When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is 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) instruction, regardless of the whether Write Protect (W) is driven High or Low. When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit of the Status Register is set to 1, two cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write Protect (W): If Write Protect (W) is driven High, 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) instruction. If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not possible to write to the Status Register even if the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) instruction. (Attempts to write to the Status Register are rejected, and are not accepted for execution). As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, are also hardware protected against data modification. 21/49 Instructions M25P10-A Regardless of the order of the two events, the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can be entered: by setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect (W) Low or by driving Write Protect (W) Low after setting the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD) bit. The only way to exit the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) once entered is to pull Write Protect (W) High. If Write Protect (W) is permanently tied High, the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can never be activated, and only the Software Protected Mode (SPM), using the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, can be used.

As defined by the values in the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits of the Status Register, as shown in Table 2. 22/49 M25P10-A 6.6 Instructions Read Data Bytes (READ) The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 12. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction. When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely. The Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 12.

Address bits A23 to A17 are Don't Care. 23/49 Instructions 6.7 M25P10-A Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 13. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction. When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely. The Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 13.

Address bits A23 to A17 are Don't Care. 24/49 M25P10-A 6.8 Instructions Page Program (PP) The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0). Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL). The Page Program (PP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on Serial Data Input (D). If the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data that goes beyond the end of the current page are programmed from the start address of the same page (from the address whose 8 least significant bits (A7-A0) are all zero). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 14. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256 Data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page. For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the Page Program (PP) instruction to program all consecutive targeted Bytes in a single sequence versus using several Page Program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few Bytes (see Table 16: Instruction Times (Device Grade 6)). Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the Page Program (PP) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Page Program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the Page Program cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. A Page Program (PP) instruction applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 3 and Table 2) is not executed. 25/49 Instructions M25P10-A Figure 14.

Address bits A23 to A17 are Don't Care. 26/49 M25P10-A 6.9 Instructions Sector Erase (SE) The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits inside the chosen sector. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL). The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, and three address bytes on Serial Data Input (D). Any address inside the Sector (see Table 3) is a valid address for the Sector Erase (SE) instruction. Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 15. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last address byte has been latched in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Sector Erase cycle (whose duration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a page which is protected by the Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits (see Table 3 and Table 2) is not executed. Figure 15.

Address bits A23 to A17 are Don't Care. 27/49 Instructions 6.10 M25P10-A Bulk Erase (BE) The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction sets all bits to 1 (FFh). Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL). The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code on Serial Data Input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been latched in, otherwise the Bulk Erase instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed Bulk Erase cycle (whose duration is tBE) is initiated. While the Bulk Erase cycle is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Bulk Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is executed only if both Block Protect (BP1, BP0) bits are 0. The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is ignored if one, or more, sectors are protected. Figure 16. Bulk Erase (BE) Instruction Sequence S 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 C Instruction D AI03752D 28/49 M25P10-A 6.11 Instructions Deep Power-down (DP) Executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is the only way to put the device in the lowest consumption mode (the Deep Power-down mode). It can also be used as a software protection mechanism, while the device is not in active use, as in this mode, the device ignores all Write, Program and Erase instructions. Driving Chip Select (S) High deselects the device, and puts the device in the Standby mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the Deep Powerdown mode. The Deep Power-down mode can only be entered by executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, to reduce the standby current (from ICC1 to ICC2, as specified in Table 14). To take the device out of Deep Power-down mode, the Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction must be issued. No other instruction must be issued while the device is in Deep Power-down mode. The Release from Deep Power-down, and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction and the Read Identification (RDID) instruction also allow the Electronic Signature of the device to be output on Serial Data Output (Q). The Deep Power-down mode automatically stops at Power-down, and the device always Powers-up in the Standby mode. The Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code on Serial Data Input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 17. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been latched in, otherwise the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the Deep Power-down mode is entered. Any Deep Power-down (DP) instruction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 17. Deep Power-down (DP) Instruction Sequence S 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 tDP C Instruction D Stand-by Mode Deep Power-down Mode AI03753D 29/49 Instructions 6.12 M25P10-A Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) To take the device out of Deep Power-down mode, the Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction must be issued. No other instruction must be issued while the device is in Deep Power-down mode. The instruction can also be used to read, on Serial Data Output (Q), the 8-bit Electronic Signature, whose value for the M25P10-A is 10h. Except while an Erase, Program or Write Status Register cycle is in progress, the Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction always provides access to the 8-bit Electronic Signature of the device, and can be applied even if the Deep Power-down mode has not been entered. Any Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction while an Erase, Program or Write Status Register cycle is in progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code is followed by 3 dummy bytes, each bit being latched-in on Serial Data Input (D) during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then, the 8-bit Electronic Signature, stored in the memory, is shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 18. The Release from Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High after the Electronic Signature has been read at least once. Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock (C), while Chip Select (S) is driven Low, cause the Electronic Signature to be output repeatedly. When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the Standby Power mode. If the device was not previously in the Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Standby Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in the Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Standby Power mode is delayed by tRES2, and Chip Select (S) must remain High for at least tRES2(max), as specified in Table 18. Once in the Standby Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. Driving Chip Select (S) High after the 8-bit instruction byte has been received by the device, but before the whole of the 8-bit Electronic Signature has been transmitted for the first time (as shown in Figure 19), still ensures that the device is put into Standby Power mode. If the device was not previously in the Deep Power-down mode, the transition to the Standby Power mode is immediate. If the device was previously in the Deep Power-down mode, though, the transition to the Standby Power mode is delayed by tRES1, and Chip Select (S) must remain High for at least tRES1(max), as specified in Table 18. Once in the Standby Power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. 30/49 M25P10-A Instructions Figure 18.

To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write operations during power-up, a Power On Reset (POR) circuit is included. The logic inside the device is held reset while VCC is less than the Power On Reset (POR) threshold voltage, VWI - all operations are disabled, and the device does not respond to any instruction. Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable (WREN), Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE), Bulk Erase (BE) and Write Status Register (WRSR) instructions until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the VWI threshold. However, the correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if, by this time, VCC is still below VCC(min). No Write Status Register, Program or Erase instructions should be sent until the later of: tPUW after VCC passed the VWI threshold tVSL after VCC passed the VCC(min) level These values are specified in Table 8. If the delay, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC has risen above VCC(min), the device can be selected for READ instructions even if the tPUW delay is not yet fully elapsed. At Power-up, the device is in the following state: The device is in the Standby mode (not the Deep Power-down mode). The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset. Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to stabilize the VCC supply. Each device in a system should have the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package pins. (Generally, this capacitor is of the order of 0.1F). At Power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to below the Power On Reset (POR) threshold voltage, VWI, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond to any instruction. (The designer needs to be aware that if a Power-down occurs while a Write, Program or Erase cycle is in progress, some data corruption can result.) 32/49 M25P10-A Power-up and Power-down Figure 20.
