S25FL064L
64-Mbit (8-Mbyte)
3.0 V FL-L SPI Flash Memory
General Description
The Cypress FL-L Family devices are Flash Nonvolatile Memory products using:
Floating Gate technology
65-nm process lithography
The FL-L family connects to a host system via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). Traditional SPI single bit serial input and output
(Single I/O or SIO) is supported as well as optional two bit (Dual I/O or DIO) and four bit wide Quad I/O (QIO), and Quad Peripheral
Interface (QPI) commands. In addition, there are Double Data Rate (DDR) read commands for QIO and QPI that transfer address
and read data on both edges of the clock.
The architecture features a Page Programming Buffer that allows up to 256-bytes to be programmed in one operation and provides
individual 4 KB sector, 32 KB half block sector, 64 KB block sector, or entire chip erase.
By using FL-L family devices at the higher clock rates supported, with Quad commands, the instruction read transfer rate can match
or exceed traditional parallel interface, asynchronous, NOR Flash memories, while reducing signal count dramatically.
The FL-L family products offer high densities coupled with the flexibility and fast performance required by a variety of mobile or
embedded applications. Provides an ideal storage solution for systems with limited space, signal connections, and power. These
memories offer flexibility and performance well beyond ordinary serial flash devices. They are ideal for code shadowing to RAM,
executing code directly (XIP), and storing re-programmable data.

1.1.2 Known Differences from Prior Generations
1.1.2.1 Error Reporting
FL-K, FL1-K and FL-P memories either do not have error status bits or do not set them if program or erase is attempted on a
protected sector. This product family does have error reporting status bits for program and erase operations. These can be set when
there is an internal failure to program or erase, or when there is an attempt to program or erase a protected sector. In these cases
the program or erase operation did not complete as requested by the command. The P_ERR or E_ERR bits and the WIP bit will be
set to and remain 1 in SR1V. The clear status register command must be sent to clear the errors and return the device to standby
state.
1.1.2.2 Status Register Protect 1 Bit
The Configuration Register 1 SRP1 Bit CR1V[0], locks the state of the Legacy Block Protection bits (SR1NV[5:2] & SR1V[5:2]),
CMP_NV (CR1NV[6]) and TBPROT_NV bit (SR1NV[6]), as Freeze did in prior generations. In the FS-S and FL-S families the
Freeze Bit also locks the state of the Configuration Register 1 BPNV_O bit (CR1NV[3]), and the Secure Silicon Region (OTP) area.
1.1.2.3 WRR Single Register Write
In some legacy SPI devices, a Write Registers (WRR) command with only one data byte would update Status Register 1 and clear
some bits in Configuration Register 1, including the Quad mode bit. This could result in unintended exit from Quad mode. This
product family only updates Status Register 1 when a single data byte is provided. The Configuration Register 1 is not modified in
this case.
1.1.2.4 Other Legacy Commands Not Supported
Autoboot Related Commands
Bank Address Related Commands
Hold# replaced by the Reset#
1.1.2.5 New Features

3. Signal Descriptions
Serial Peripheral Interface with Multiple Input / Output (SPI-MIO)
Many memory devices connect to their host system with separate parallel control, address, and data signals that require a large
number of signal connections and larger package size. The large number of connections increase power consumption due to so
many signals switching and the larger package increases cost.
The S25FL-L family reduces the number of signals for connection to the host system by serially transferring all control, address, and
data information over 6 signals. This reduces the cost of the memory package, reduces signal switching power, and either reduces
the host connection count or frees host connectors for use in providing other features.
The S25FL-L family uses the industry standard single bit SPI and also supports optional extension commands for two bit (Dual) and
four bit (Quad) wide serial transfers. This multiple width interface is called SPI Multi-I/O or SPI-MIO.
3.1 Input/Output Summary
Note:
1. Inputs with internal pull-ups or pull-downs drive less than 2 A. Only during power-up is the current larger at 150 A for 4 S. Resistance of pull-u ps or pull-down
resistors with the typical process at Vcc = 3.3 V at –40°C is ~4.5 M and at 90°C is ~6.6 M
Table 2. Signal List
Signal Name Type Description
RESET# Input Hardware Reset: Low = device resets and returns to standby state, ready to receive a command. The signal has an
internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used.
SCK Input Serial Clock
CS# Input Chip Select
SI / IO0 I/O Serial Input for single bit data commands or IO0 for Dual or Quad commands.
SO / IO1 I/O Serial Output for single bit data commands. IO1 for Dual or Quad commands.
WP# / IO2 I/O
Write Protect when not in Quad mode (CR1V[1] = 0 and SR1NV[7] = 1).
IO2 when in Quad mode (CR1V[1] = 1).
The signal has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used for Quad
commands or write protection. If write protection is enabled by SR1NV[7] = 1 and CR1V[1] = 0, the host system is
required to drive WP# high or low during a WRR or WRAR command.
IO3 / RESET# I/O
IO3 in Quad-I/O mode, when Configuration Register 1 QUAD bit, CR1V[1] =1, or in QPI mode, when Configuration
Register 2 QPI bit, CR2V[3] =1 and CS# is low.
RESET# when enabled by CR2V[7]=1 and not in Quad-I/O mode, CR1V[1] = 0, or when enabled in quad mode,
CR1V[1] = 1 and CS# is high.
The signal has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used for Quad
commands or RESET#.
VCC Supply Power Supply
VSS Supply Ground
NC Unused
Not Connected. No device internal signal is connected to the package connector nor is there any future plan to use
the connector for a signal. The connection may safely be used for routing space for a signal on a Printed Circuit Board
(PCB). However, any signal connected to an NC must not have voltage levels higher than VCC.
RFU Reserved
Reserved for Future Use. No device internal signal is currently connected to the package connector but there is
potential future use of the connector for a signal. It is recommended to not use RFU connectors for PCB routing
channels so that the PCB may take advantage of future enhanced features in compatible footprint devices.
DNU Reserved
Do Not Use. A device internal signal may be connected to the package connector. The connection may be used by
Cypress for test or other purposes and is not intended for connection to any host system signal. Any DNU signal
related function will be inactive when the signal is at VIL. The signal has an internal pull-down resistor and may be left
unconnected in the host system or may be tied to VSS. Do not use these connections for PCB signal routing channels.
Do not connect any host system signal to this connection.

S25FL064L
3.2 Multiple Input / Output (MIO)
Traditional SPI single bit wide commands (Single or SIO) send information from the host to the memory only on the Serial Input (SI)
signal. Data may be sent back to the host serially on the Serial Output (SO) signal.
Dual or Quad Input / Output (I/O) commands send instructions to the memory only on the SI/IO0 signal. Address or data is sent from
the host to the memory as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. Data is returned to the host
similarly as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3.
QPI mode transfers all instructions, addresses, and data from the host to the memory as four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2,
and IO3. Data is returned to the host similarly as four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3.
3.3 Serial Clock (SCK)
This input signal provides the synchronization reference for the SPI interface. Instructions, addresses, or data input are latched on
the rising edge of the SCK signal. Data output changes after the falling edge of SCK, in SDR commands.
3.4 Chip Select (CS#)
The chip select signal indicates when a command is transferring information to or from the device and the other signals are relevant
for the memory device.
When the CS# signal is at the logic high state, the device is not selected and all input signals are ignored and all output signals are
high impedance. The device will be in the Standby Power mode, unless an internal embedded operation is in progress. An
embedded operation is indicated by the Status Register 1 Write-In-Progress bit (SR1V[0]) set to 1, until the operation is completed.
Some example embedded operations are: Program, Erase, or Write Registers (WRR) operations.
Driving the CS# input to the logic low state enables the device, placing it in the Active Power mode. After Power-up, a falling edge on
CS# is required prior to the start of any command.
3.5 Serial Input (SI) / IO0
This input signals used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and data to be programmed.
Values are latched on the rising edge of serial SCK clock signal. SI becomes IO0 - an input and output during Dual and Quad
commands for receiving instructions, addresses, and data to be programmed (values latched on rising edge of serial SCK clock
signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK, in SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).
3.6 Serial Output (SO) / IO1
This output signals used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial SCK clock
signal. SO becomes IO1 - an input and output during Dual and Quad commands for receiving addresses, and data to be
programmed (values latched on rising edge of serial SCK clock signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK in
SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).
3.7 Write Protect (WP#) / IO2
When WP# is driven Low (VIL), when the Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0_NV) or (SRP0) bit of Status Register 1 (SR1NV[7]) or
(SR1V[7]) is set to a 1, it is not possible to write to Status Registers, Configuration Registers or DLR registers. In this situation, the
command selecting SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV,CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV is ignored, and no error is set.
This prevents any alteration of the Legacy Block Protection settings. As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that
are protected by the Legacy Block Protection feature are also hardware protected against data modification if WP# is Low during
commands changing Status Registers, Configuration Registers or DLR registers, with SRP0_NV set to 1. Similarly, the Security
Region Lock Bits (LB3-LB0) are protected against programming.
The WP# function is not available when the Quad mode is enabled (CR1V[1]=1) or QPI mode is enabled (CR2V[3]=1). The WP#
function is replaced by IO2 for input and output during Quad mode or QPI mode is enabled (CR2V[3]=1) for receiving addresses,
and data to be programmed (values are latched on rising edge of the SCK signal) as well as shifting out data on the falling edge of
SCK, in SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).
WP# has an internal pull-up resistance; when unconnected, WP# is at VIH and may be left unconnected in the host system if not
used for Quad mode or QPI mode or protection.

3.8 IO3 / RESET#
IO3 is used for input and output during Quad mode (CR1V[1]=1) or QPI mode is enabled (CR2V[3]=1) for receiving addresses, and
data to be programmed (values are latched on rising edge of the SCK signal) as well as shifting out data (on the falling edge of SCK,
in SDR commands, and on every edge of SCK, in DDR commands).
The IO3 / RESET# input may also be used to initiate the hardware reset function when the IO3 / RESET# feature is enabled by
writing Configuration Register 2 volatile or nonvolatile bit 7 (CR2V[7]=1)or (CR2NV[7]=1). The input is only treated as RESET# when
the device is not in Quad modes (114,144,444), CR1V[1] = 0, or when CS# is high. When Quad modes are in use, CR1V[1]=1or QPI
mode is enabled (CR2V[3]=1), and the device is selected with CS# low, the IO3 / RESET# is used only as IO3 for information
transfer. When CS# is high, the IO3 / RESET# is not in use for information transfer and is used as the reset input. By conditioning the
reset operation on CS# high during Quad modes (114,144,444), the reset function remains available during Quad modes
(114,144,444).
When the system enters a reset condition, the CS# signal must be driven high as part of the reset process and the IO3 / RESET#
signal is driven low. When CS# goes high the IO3 / RESET# input transitions from being IO3 to being the reset input. The reset
condition is then detected when CS# remains high and the IO3 / RESET# signal remains low for tRP. If a reset is not intended, the
system is required to actively drive IO3 / RESET# to high along with CS# being driven high at the end of a transfer of data to the
memory. Following transfers of data to the host system, the memory will drive IO3 high during tCS. This will ensure that IO3 /
RESET# is not left floating or being pulled slowly to high by the internal or an external passive pull-up. Thus, an unintended reset is
not triggered by the IO3 / RESET# not being recognized as high before the end of tRP.
The IO3 / RESET# input reset feature is disabled when (CR2V[7]=0).
The IO3 / RESET# input has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used for Quad mode
or the reset function. The internal pull-up will hold IO3 / RESET# high after the host system has actively driven the signal high and
then stops driving the signal.
Note that IO3 / RESET# input cannot be shared by more than one SPI-MIO memory if any of them are operating in Quad I/O mode
as IO3 being driven to or from one selected memory may look like a reset signal to a second non-selected memory sharing the same
IO3 / RESET# signal.
3.9 RESET#
The RESET# input provides a hardware method of resetting the device to standby state, ready for receiving a command. When
RESET# is driven to logic low (VIL) for at least a period of tRP, the device starts the hardware reset process.
RESET# causes the same initialization process as is performed when power comes up and requires tPU time.
RESET# may be asserted low at any time. To ensure data integrity any operation that was interrupted by a hardware reset should
be reinitiated once the device is ready to accept a command sequence.
RESET# has an internal pull-up resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system if not used. The internal pull-up will hold
Reset high after the host system has actively driven the signal high and then stops driving the signal.
The RESET# input is not available on all packages options. When not available the RESET# input of the device is tied to the inactive
state.
3.10 Voltage Supply (VCC)
VCC is the voltage source for all device internal logic. It is the single voltage used for all device internal functions including read,
program, and erase.
3.11 Supply and Signal Ground (VSS)
VSS is the common voltage drain and ground reference for the device core, input signal receivers, and output drivers.
3.12 Not Connected (NC)
No device internal signal is connected to the package connector nor is there any future plan to use the connector for a signal. The
connection may safely be used for routing space for a signal on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Document Number: 002-12878 Rev. *E Page 12 of 152
S25FL064L
3.13 Reserved for Future Use (RFU)
No device internal signal is currently connected to the package connector but there is potential future use of the connector. It is
recommended to not use RFU connectors for PCB routing channels so that the PCB may take advantage of future enhanced
features in compatible footprint devices.
3.14 Do Not Use (DNU)
A device internal signal may be connected to the package connector. The connection may be used by Cypress for test or other
purposes and is not intended for connection to any host system signal. Any DNU signal related function will be inactive when the
signal is at VIL. The signal has an internal pull-down resistor and may be left unconnected in the host system or may be tied to VSS.
Do not use these connections for PCB signal routing channels. Do not connect any host system signal to these connections.

5. Signal Protocols
5.1 SPI Clock Modes
5.1.1 Single Data Rate (SDR)
The FL-L family can be driven by an embedded micro-controller (bus master) in either of the two following clocking modes.
Mode 0 with Clock Polarity (CPOL) = 0 and, Clock Phase (CPHA) = 0
Mode 3 with CPOL = 1 and, CPHA = 1
For these two modes, input data into the device is always latched in on the rising edge of the SCK signal and the output data is
always available from the falling edge of the SCK clock signal.
The difference between the two modes is the clock polarity when the bus master is in standby mode and not transferring any data.
SCK will stay at logic low state with CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0
SCK will stay at logic high state with CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1
Figure 11. SPI SDR Modes Supported
Timing diagrams throughout the remainder of the document are generally shown as both mode 0 and 3 by showing SCK as both
high and low at the fall of CS#. In some cases a timing diagram may show only mode 0 with SCK low at the fall of CS#. In such a
case, mode 3 timing simply means clock is high at the fall of CS# so no SCK rising edge set up or hold time to the falling edge of
CS# is needed for mode 3.
SCK cycles are measured (counted) from one falling edge of SCK to the next falling edge of SCK. In mode 0 the beginning of the
first SCK cycle in a command is measured from the falling edge of CS# to the first falling edge of SCK because SCK is already low
at the beginning of a command.
5.1.2 Double Data Rate (DDR)
Mode 0 and Mode 3 are also supported for DDR commands. In DDR commands, the instruction bits are always latched on the rising
edge of clock, the same as in SDR commands. However, the address and input data that follow the instruction are latched on both
the rising and falling edges of SCK. The first address bit is latched on the first rising edge of SCK following the falling edge at the end
of the last instruction bit. The first bit of output data is driven on the falling edge at the end of the last access latency (dummy) cycle.
SCK cycles are measured (counted) in the same way as in SDR commands, from one falling edge of SCK to the next falling edge of
SCK. In mode 0 the beginning of the first SCK cycle in a command is measured from the falling edge of CS# to the first falling edge
of SCK because SCK is already low at the beginning of a command.

5.2 Command Protocol
All communication between the host system and FL-L family memory devices is in the form of units called commands. See
Section 8.. Commands on page 58 for definition and details for all commands.
All commands begin with an 8-bit instruction that selects the type of information transfer or device operation to be performed.
Commands may also have an address, instruction modifier, latency period, data transfer to the memory, or data transfer from the
memory. All instruction, address, and data information is transferred sequentially between the host system and memory device.
Command protocols are also classified by a numerical nomenclature using three numbers to reference the transfer width of three
command phases:
instruction;
address and instruction modifier (continuous read mode bits);
data.
Single bit wide commands start with an instruction and may provide an address or data, all sent only on the SI signal. Data may be
sent back to the host serially on the SO signal. This is referenced as a 1-1-1 command protocol for single bit width instruction, single
bit width address and modifier, single bit data.
Dual-Output or Quad-Output commands provide an address sent from the host as serial on SI (IO0) then followed by dummy cycles.
Data is returned to the host as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or, four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. This is referenced as
1-1-2 for Dual-O and 1-1-4 for Quad-O command protocols.
Dual or Quad Input / Output (I/O) commands provide an address sent from the host as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1 or, four bit (nibble)
groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3 then followed by dummy cycles. Data is returned to the host similarly as bit pairs on IO0 and IO1
or, four bit (nibble) groups on IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. This is referenced as 1-2-2 for Dual I/O and 1-4-4 for Quad I/O command
protocols.
The FL-L family also supports a QPI mode in which all information is transferred in 4-bit width, including the instruction, address,
modifier, and data. This is referenced as a 4-4-4 command protocol.
Commands are structured as follows:
Each command begins with CS# going low and ends with CS# returning high. The memory device is selected by the host
driving the Chip Select (CS#) signal low throughout a command.
The serial clock (SCK) marks the transfer of each bit or group of bits between the host and memory.
Each command begins with an eight bit (byte) instruction. The instruction selects the type of information transfer or device
operation to be performed. The instruction transfers occur on SCK rising edges. However, some read commands are
modified by a prior read command, such that the instruction is implied from the earlier command. This is called Continuous
Read Mode. When the device is in continuous read mode, the instruction bits are not transmitted at the beginning of the
command because the instruction is the same as the read command that initiated the Continuous Read Mode. In
Continuous Read mode the command will begin with the read address. Thus, Continuous Read Mode removes eight
instruction bits from each read command in a series of same type read commands.

S25FL064L
The instruction may be stand alone or may be followed by address bits to select a location within one of several address
spaces in the device. The instruction determines the address space used. The address may be either a 24 bit or a 32 bit,
byte boundary, address. The address transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in
DDR commands.
In legacy SPI mode, the width of all transfers following the instruction are determined by the instruction sent. Following
transfers may continue to be single bit serial on only the SI or Serial Output (SO) signals, they may be done in two bit
groups per (dual) transfer on the IO0 and IO1 signals, or they may be done in 4 bit groups per (quad) transfer on the IO0-
IO3 signals. Within the dual or quad groups the least significant bit is on IO0. More significant bits are placed in significance
order on each higher numbered IO signal. Single bits or parallel bit groups are transferred in most to least significant bit
order.
In QPI mode, the width of all transfers is a 4-bit wide (quad) transfer on the IO0-IO3 signals.
Dual and Quad I/O read instructions send an instruction modifier called Continuous Read mode bits, following the address,
to indicate whether the next command will be of the same type with an implied, rather than an explicit, instruction. These
mode bits initiate or end the continuous read mode. In continuous read mode, the next command thus does not provide an
instruction byte, only a new address and mode bits. This reduces the time needed to send each command when the same
command type is repeated in a sequence of commands. The mode bit transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR
commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.
The address or mode bits may be followed by write data to be stored in the memory device or by a read latency period
before read data is returned to the host.
Write data bit transfers occur on SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every SCK edge, in DDR commands.
SCK continues to toggle during any read access latency period. The latency may be zero to several SCK cycles (also
referred to as dummy cycles). At the end of the read latency cycles, the first read data bits are driven from the outputs on
SCK falling edge at the end of the last read latency cycle. The first read data bits are considered transferred to the host on
the following SCK rising edge. Each following transfer occurs on the next SCK rising edge, in SDR commands, or on every
SCK edge, in DDR commands.
If the command returns read data to the host, the device continues sending data transfers until the host takes the CS#
signal high. The CS# signal can be driven high after any transfer in the read data sequence. This will terminate the
command.
At the end of a command that does not return data, the host drives the CS# input high. The CS# signal must go high after
the eighth bit, of a stand alone instruction or, of the last write data byte that is transferred. That is, the CS# signal must be
driven high when the number of bits after the CS# signal was driven low is an exact multiple of eight bits. If the CS# signal
does not go high exactly at the eight bit boundary of the instruction or write data, the command is rejected and not
executed.
All instruction, address, and mode bits are shifted into the device with the Most Significant Bits (MSb) first. The data bits are
shifted in and out of the device MSb first. All data is transferred in byte units with the lowest address byte sent first.
Following bytes of data are sent in lowest to highest byte address order i.e. the byte address increments.
All attempts to read the flash memory array during a program, erase, or a write cycle (embedded operations) are ignored.
The embedded operation will continue to execute without any affect. A very limited set of commands are accepted during
an embedded operation. These are discussed in the individual command descriptions.
Depending on the command, the time for execution varies. A command to read status information from an executing
command is available to determine when the command completes execution and whether the command was successful.

5.3.1 Power-Off
When the core supply voltage is at or below the VCC (Low) voltage, the device is considered to be powered off. The device does not
react to external signals, and is prevented from performing any program or erase operation.
5.3.2 Low Power Hardware Data Protection
When VCC is less than VCC (Cut-off) the memory device will ignore commands to ensure that program and erase operations can not
start when the core supply voltage is out of the operating range. When the core voltage supply remains at or below the VCC (Low)
voltage for ≥ tPD time, then rises to ≥ VCC (Minimum) the device will begin its Power On Reset (POR) process. POR continues until the
end of tPU. During tPU the device does not react to external input signals nor drive any outputs. Following the end of tPU the device
transitions to the Interface Standby state and can accept commands. For additional information on POR see Section 12.3.1. Power-
On (Cold) Reset on page 131
5.3.3 Hardware (Warm) Reset
A configuration option is provided to allow IO3 / RESET# to be used as a hardware reset input when the device is not in any Quad or
QPI mode or when it is in any Quad mode or QPI mode and CS# is high. In Quad or QPI mode on some packages a separate reset
input is provided (RESET #). When IO3 / RESET# or RESET# is driven low for tRP time the device starts the hardware reset
process. The process continues for tRPH time. Following the end of both tRPH and the reset hold time following the rise of RESET#
(tRH) the device transitions to the Interface Standby state and can accept commands. For additional information on hardware reset
see Section 12.3. Reset on page 131
5.3.4 Interface Standby
When CS# is high the SPI interface is in standby state. Inputs other than RESET# are ignored. The interface waits for the beginning
of a new command. The next interface state is Instruction Cycle when CS# goes low to begin a new command.
While in interface standby state the memory device draws standby current (ISB) if no embedded algorithm is in progress. If an
embedded algorithm is in progress, the related current is drawn until the end of the algorithm when the entire device returns to
standby current draw.
5.3.5 Instruction Cycle (Legacy SPI Mode)
When the host drives the MSb of an instruction and CS# goes low, on the next rising edge of SCK the device captures the MSb of
the instruction that begins the new command. On each following rising edge of SCK the device captures the next lower significance
bit of the 8 bit instruction. The host keeps CS# low, and drives the Write Protect (WP#) and IO3 / RESET# signals as needed for the
instruction. However, WP# is only relevant during instruction cycles of a WRR or WRAR command or any other commands which
affect Status registers, Configuration registers and DLR registers, and is other wise ignored. IO3 / RESET# is driven high when the
device is not in Quad Mode (CR1V[1]=0) or QPI Mode (CR2V[3]=0) and hardware reset is not required.
Each instruction selects the address space that is operated on and the transfer format used during the remainder of the command.
The transfer format may be Single, Dual O, Quad O, Dual I/O, or Quad I/O, or DDR Quad I/O. The expected next interface state
depends on the instruction received.
Some commands are stand alone, needing no address or data transfer to or from the memory. The host returns CS# high after the
rising edge of SCK for the eighth bit of the instruction in such commands. The next interface state in this case is Interface Standby.
5.3.6 Instruction Cycle (QPI Mode)
In QPI mode, when CR2V[3]=1, instructions are transferred 4 bits per cycle. In this mode instruction cycles are the same as a Quad
Input Cycle. See Section 5.3.13. QPP or QOR Address Input Cycle on page 24.
5.3.7 Single Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer
Several commands transfer information after the instruction on the single serial input (SI) signal from host to the memory device. The
host keeps RESET# high, CS# low, and drives SI as needed for the command. The memory does not drive the Serial Output (SO)
signal.
The expected next interface state depends on the instruction. Some instructions continue sending address or data to the memory
using additional Single Input Cycles. Others may transition to Single Latency, or directly to Single, Dual, or Quad Output cycle
states.

S25FL064L
5.3.8 Single Latency (Dummy) Cycle
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main Flash memory array before
transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR3V[3:0]).
During the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# and IO3 / RESET# high, CS# low and SCK toggles. The Write Protect (WP#)
signal is ignored. The host may drive the SI signal during these cycles or the host may leave SI floating. The memory does not use
any data driven on SO or other I/O signals during the latency cycles. The memory does not drive the Serial Output (SO) or I/O
signals during the latency cycles.
The next interface state depends on the command structure i.e. the number of latency cycles, and whether the read is single, dual,
or quad width.
5.3.9 Single Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer
Several commands transfer information back to the host on the single Serial Output (SO) signal. The host keeps RESET# and IO3 /
RESET# high, CS# low. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The memory ignores the Serial Input (SI) signal. The memory
drives SO with data.
The next interface state continues to be Single Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.
5.3.10 Dual Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer
The Read Dual I/O command transfers two address or mode bits to the memory in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# and IO3 /
RESET# high, CS# low. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The host drives address on SI / IO0 and SO / IO1.
The next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a Dual Latency Cycle if there are latency cycles needed or
Dual Output Cycle if no latency is required.
5.3.11 Dual Latency (Dummy) Cycle
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main Flash memory array before
transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR3V[3:0]).
During the latency cycles, the host keeps RESET# and IO3 / RESET# high, CS# low, and SCK continues to toggle. The Write
Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The host may drive the SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 signals during these cycles or the host may leave SI /
IO0 and SO / IO1 floating. The memory does not use any data driven on SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 during the latency cycles. The host
must stop driving SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 on the falling edge of SCK at the end of the last latency cycle. It is recommended that the
host stop driving them during all latency cycles so that there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory
begins to drive at the end of the latency cycles. This prevents driver conflict between host and memory when the signal direction
changes. The memory does not drive the SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 signals during the latency cycles.
The next interface state following the last latency cycle is a Dual Output Cycle.
5.3.12 Dual Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer
The Read Dual Output and Read Dual I/O return data to the host two bits in each cycle. The host keeps RESET# and IO3 / RESET#
high, CS# low. The Write Protect (WP#) signal is ignored. The memory drives data on the SI / IO0 and SO / IO1 signals during the
dual output cycles on the falling edge of SCK.
The next interface state continues to be Dual Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.
5.3.13 QPP or QOR Address Input Cycle
The Quad Page Program and Quad Output Read commands send address to the memory only on IO0. The other IO signals are
ignored. The host keeps RESET# and IO3 / RESET# high, CS# low, and drives IO0.
For QPP the next interface state following the delivery of address is the Quad Input Cycle. For QOR the next interface state following
address is a Quad Latency Cycle if there are latency cycles needed or Quad Output Cycle if no latency is required.
Document Number: 002-12878 Rev. *E Page 25 of 152
S25FL064L
5.3.14 Quad Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer
The Quad I/O Read command transfers four address or mode bits to the memory in each cycle. In QPI mode the Quad I/O Read and
Page Program commands transfer four data bits to the memory in each cycle, including the instruction cycles. The host keeps CS#
low, and drives the IO signals.
For Quad I/O Read the next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a Quad Latency Cycle if there are
latency cycles needed or Quad Output Cycle if no latency is required. For QPI mode Page Program, the host returns CS# high
following the delivery of data to be programmed and the interface returns to standby state.
5.3.15 Quad Latency (Dummy) Cycle
Read commands may have zero to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main Flash memory array before
transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register (CR3V[3:0]).
During the latency cycles, the host keeps CS# low and continues to toggle SCK. The host may drive the IO signals during these
cycles or the host may leave the IO floating. The memory does not use any data driven on IO during the latency cycles. The host
must stop driving the IO signals on the falling edge at the end of the last latency cycle. It is recommended that the host stop driving
them during all latency cycles so that there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory begins to drive at the
end of the latency cycles. This prevents driver conflict between host and memory when the signal direction changes. The memory
does not drive the IO signals during the latency cycles.
The next interface state following the last latency cycle is a Quad Output Cycle.
5.3.16 Quad Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer
The Quad-O and Quad I/O Read returns data to the host four bits in each cycle. The host keeps CS# low. The memory drives data
on IO0-IO3 signals during the Quad output cycles.
The next interface state continues to be Quad Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.
5.3.17 DDR Quad Input Cycle - Host to Memory Transfer
The DDR Quad I/O Read command sends address, and mode bits to the memory on all the IO signals. Four bits are transferred on
the rising edge of SCK and four bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps CS# low.
The next interface state following the delivery of address and mode bits is a DDR Latency Cycle.
5.3.18 DDR Latency Cycle
DDR Read commands may have one to several latency cycles during which read data is read from the main Flash memory array
before transfer to the host. The number of latency cycles are determined by the Latency Code in the configuration register
(CR3V[3:0]). During the latency cycles, the host keeps CS# low. The host may not drive the IO signals during these cycles. So that
there is sufficient time for the host drivers to turn off before the memory begins to drive. This prevents driver conflict between host
and memory when the signal direction changes. The memory has an option to drive all the IO signals with a Data Learning Pattern
(DLP) during the last 4 latency cycles. The DLP option should not be enabled when there are fewer than five latency cycles so that
there is at least one cycle of high impedance for turn around of the IO signals before the memory begins driving the DLP. When
there are more than 4 cycles of latency the memory does not drive the IO signals until the last four cycles of latency.
The next interface state following the last latency cycle is a DDR Quad Output Cycle, depending on the instruction.
5.3.19 DDR Quad Output Cycle - Memory to Host Transfer
The DDR Quad I/O Read command returns bits to the host on all the IO signals. Four bits are transferred on the rising edge of SCK
and four bits on the falling edge in each cycle. The host keeps CS# low.
The next interface state continues to be DDR Quad Output Cycle until the host returns CS# to high ending the command.

5.4 Data Protection
Some basic protection against unintended changes to stored data are provided and controlled purely by the hardware design. These
are described below. Other software managed protection methods are discussed in the software section of this document.
5.4.1 Power-Up
When the core supply voltage is at or below the VCC (Low) voltage, the device is considered to be powered off. The device does not
react to external signals, and is prevented from performing any program or erase operation. User is not allowed to enter any valid
command during tPU.
5.4.2 Low Power
When VCC is less than VCC (Cut-off) the memory device will ignore commands to ensure that program and erase operations can not
start when the core supply voltage is out of the operating range.
5.4.3 Clock Pulse Count
The device verifies that all data modifying commands consist of a clock pulse count that is a multiple of eight bit transfers (byte
boundary) before executing them. A command not ending on an 8 bit (byte) boundary is ignored and no error status is set for the
command.
5.4.4 Deep Power Down (DPD)
In DPD mode the device responds only to the Resume from DPD command (RES ABh). All other commands are ignored during
DPD mode, thereby protecting the memory from program and erase operations. If the IO3 / RESET# function has been enabled
(CR2V[7]=1) or if RESET# is active, IO3 / RESET# or RESET# going low will start a hardware reset and release the device from
DPD mode.

6. Address Space Maps
6.1 Overview
6.1.1 Extended Address
The FL-L family supports 32 bit (4 Byte) addresses to enable higher density devices than allowed by previous generation (legacy)
SPI devices that supported only 24 bit (3 Byte) addresses. A 24 bit, byte resolution, address can access only 16 MBytes (128 Mb)
maximum density. A 32 bit, byte resolution, address allows direct addressing of up to a 4 GBytes (32 Gbits) address space.
Legacy commands continue to support 24 bit addresses for backward software compatibility. Extended 32 bit addresses are
enabled in two ways:
Extended address mode — a volatile configuration register bit that changes all legacy commands to expect 32 bits of
address supplied from the host system.
4 Byte address commands — that perform both legacy and new functions, which always expect 32 bit address.
The default condition for extended address mode, after power-up or reset, is controlled by a nonvolatile configuration bit. The default
extended address mode may be set for 24 or 32 bit addresses. This enables legacy software compatible access to the first 128 Mb
of a device or for the device to start directly in 32 bit address mode.
6.1.2 Multiple Address Spaces
Many commands operate on the main Flash memory array. Some commands operate on address spaces separate from the main
Flash array. Each separate address space uses the full 24 or 32 bit address but may only define a small portion of the available
address space.
6.2 Flash Memory Array
The main Flash array is divided into uniform erase units called physical Blocks (64 KB), Half Blocks (32 KB) and Sectors (4 KB).
Table 4. S25FL064L Sector Address Map
6.3 ID Address Space
The RDID command (9Fh) reads information from a separate Flash memory address space for device identification (ID). See
Section 10.2. Device ID Address Map on page 122 for the tables defining the contents of the ID address space. The ID address
space is programmed by Cypress and read-only for the host system.
6.3.1 Device Unique ID
A 64-bit unique number is located in 8 bytes of the Unique Device ID address space see Table 43, Unique Device ID on page 122.
This Unique ID may be used as a software readable serial number that is unique for each device.

S25FL064L
6.4 JEDEC JESD216 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) Space
The RSFDP command (5Ah) reads information from a separate Flash memory address space for device identification, feature, and
configuration information, in accord with the JEDEC JESD216 standard for Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters. The ID address
space is incorporated as one of the SFDP parameters. See Section 10.1. JEDEC JESD216B Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters
on page 114 for the tables defining the contents of the SFDP address space. The SFDP address space is programmed by Cypress
and read-only for the host system.
6.5 Security Regions Address Space
Each FL-L family memory device has a 1024 byte Security Regions address space that is separate from the main Flash array. The
Security Regions area is divided into 4, individually lockable 256 byte regions. The Security Regions memory space is intended to
hold information that can be temporarily protected or permanently locked from further program or erase.
The regions data bytes are erased to FFh when shipped from Cypress. The regions may be programmed and erased like any other
Flash memory address space when not protected or locked. Each region can be individually erased. The Security Region Lock Bits
(CR1NV[5:2]) are located in the Configuration Register 1. The Security Region Lock Bits are One Time Programmable (OTP) and
after being programmed (set to 1) a Lock Bit permanently protects the related region from further erase or programming.
Regions 2 and 3 also have temporary protection from program or erase by the Protection Register (PR) NVLock bit. The NVLock bit
is volatile and set or cleared by the IRP logic and commands. See Protection Register (PR) on page 42.
The Security Region Password Protection Bit in the IRP Register (IRP[2]) allows Regions 2 and 3 to be protected from Program and
Erase operations until a password is provided. The Security Region Read Protection Bit in the IRP Register (IRP[6]) allows Region 3
to also be protected from Read operations until a password is provided. Attempting to read in a region, that is protected from read,
returns invalid and undefined data. See Individual and Region Protection Register (IRP) on page 41.
Attempting to erase or program in a region that is locked or protected will fail with the P_ERR or E_ERR bit in SR2V[6:5] set to “1”.
(see Status Register 2 Volatile (SR2V) on page 31 for detail descriptions).
6.6 Registers
Registers are small groups of memory cells used to configure how the FL-L family memory device operates or to report the status of
device operations. The registers are accessed by specific commands. The commands (and hexadecimal instruction codes) used for
each register are noted in each register description.
In legacy SPI memory devices the individual register bits could be a mixture of volatile, nonvolatile, or One Time Programmable
(OTP) bits within the same register. In some configuration options the type of a register bit could change e.g. from nonvolatile to
volatile.
The FL-L family uses separate nonvolatile or volatile memory cell groups (areas) to implement the different register bit types.
However, the legacy registers and commands continue to appear and behave as they always have for legacy software compatibility.
There is a nonvolatile and a volatile version of each legacy register when that legacy register has volatile bits or when the command
to read the legacy register has zero read latency. When such a register is read the volatile version of the register is delivered. During
Power-On Reset (POR), hardware reset, or software reset, the nonvolatile version of a register is copied to the volatile version to
provide the default state of the volatile register. When nonvolatile register bits are written the nonvolatile version of the register is
erased and programmed with the new bit values and the volatile version of the register is updated with the new contents of the
nonvolatile version. When OTP bits are programmed the nonvolatile version of the register is programmed and the appropriate bits
are updated in the volatile version of the register. When volatile register bits are written, only the volatile version of the register has
the appropriate bits updated.
The type for each bit is noted in each register description. The default state shown for each bit refers to the state after power-on
reset, hardware reset, or software reset if the bit is volatile. If the bit is nonvolatile or OTP, the default state is the value of the bit
Table 5. Security Region Address Map
Region Byte Address Range (Hex) Initial Delivery State (Hex)
Region 0 000 to 0FF All Bytes = FF
Region 1 100 to 1FF All Bytes = FF
Region 2 200 to 2FF All Bytes = FF
Region 3 300 to 3FF All Bytes = FF

when the device is shipped from Cypress. Special attention must be given when writing the nonvolatile registers that there is a stable
power supply with no disruption, this will guarantee the correct data is written to the register.

Write Enable Latch Default (WEL_D) SR1NV[1]: Provides the default state for the WEL Status in SR1V[1]. This bit is programmed
by Cypress and is not user programmable.
Write In Progress Default (WIP_D) SR1NV[0]: Provides the default state for the WIP Status in SR1V[0]. This bit is programmed by
Cypress and is not user programmable.
6.6.1.2 Status Register 1 Volatile (SR1V)
Related Commands: Read Status Register 1(RDSR1 05h), Write Enable for Volatile (WRENV 50h), Write Registers (WRR 01h),
Clear Status Register (CLSR 30h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register (WRAR 71h). This is the register displayed
by the RDSR1 command.
Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0) SR1V[7]: Places the device in the Hardware Protected mode when this bit is set to 1 and the
WP# input is driven low. In this mode, any command that change status registers or configuration registers are ignored and not
accepted for execution, effectively locking the state of the Status Registers and Configuration Registers SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV,
CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV bits, by making the registers read-only. If WP# is high, Status Registers and
Configuration Registers SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV may be changed and
Configuration Registers SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV may be changed. WP# has no
effect on the writing of any other registers. SRP0 tracks any changes to the nonvolatile version of this bit (SRP0_NV). When QPI or
QIO mode is enabled (CR2V[3] or CR1V[1] = “1”) the internal WP# signal level is = 1 because the WP# external input is used as IO2
when either mode is active. This effectively turns off hardware protection. The Register SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV,
CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV are unlocked and can be written. See Status Register Protect (SRP1, SRP0) on page 46
Sector / Block Protect (SEC) SR1V[6]: This bit controls if the Block Protect Bits (BP2, BP1, BP0) protect either 4kB Sectors (SEC
= “1”) or 64kB Blocks (SEC = “0”). See Section 7.6.1. Legacy Block Protection on page 48 for a description of how the SEC bit value
select the memory array area protected.
TBPROT SR1V[5]: This bit defines the reference point of the Legacy Block Protection bits BP2, BP1, and BP0 in the Status
Register. As described in the status register section, the BP2-0 bits allow the user to optionally protect a portion of the array, ranging
from 1/64, ¼, ½, etc., up to the entire array. When TBPROT is set to a “0” the Legacy Block Protection is defined to start from the top
(maximum address) of the array. When TBPROT is set to a “1” the Legacy Block Protection is defined to start from the bottom (zero
address) of the array. TBPROT tracks any changes to the nonvolatile version of this bit (TBPROT_NV).

Legacy Block Protection (BP2, BP1, BP0) SR1V[4:2]: These bits define the main Flash array area to be protected against
program and erase commands. See Section 7.6.1. Legacy Block Protection on page 48 for a description of how the BP bit values
select the memory array area protected.
Write Enable Latch (WEL) SR1V[1]: The WEL bit must be set to 1 to enable program, write, or erase operations as a means to
provide protection against inadvertent changes to memory or register values. The Write Enable (WREN) command execution sets
the Write Enable Latch to a “1” to allow any program, erase, or write commands to execute afterwards. The Write Disable (WRDI)
command can be used to set the Write Enable Latch to a “0” to prevent all program, erase, and write commands from execution. The
WEL bit is cleared to 0 at the end of any successful program, write, or erase operation. Following a failed operation the WEL bit may
remain set and should be cleared with a CLSR command. After a power down / power up sequence, hardware reset, or software
reset, the Write Enable Latch is set to a WEL_D. The WRR or WRAR command does not affect this bit.
Write In Progress (WIP) SR1V[0]: Indicates whether the device is performing a program, write, erase operation, or any other
operation, during which a new operation command will be ignored. When the bit is set to a “1” the device is busy performing an
operation. While WIP is “1”, only Read Status (RDSR1 or RDSR2), Read Any Register (RDAR), Erase / Program Suspend (EPS),
Clear Status Register (CLSR), and Software Reset (RSTEN 66h followed by RST 99h) commands are accepted. EPS command will
only be accepted if memory array erase or program operations are in progress. The status register E_ERR and P_ERR bits are
updated while WIP =1. When P_ERR or E_ERR bits are set to one, the WIP bit will remain set to one indicating the device remains
busy and unable to receive new operation commands. A Clear Status Register (CLSR) command must be received to return the
device to standby mode. When the WIP bit is cleared to 0 no operation is in progress. This is a read-only bit.
6.6.2 Status Register 2 Volatile (SR2V)
Related Commands: Read Status Register 2 (RDSR2 07h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h). Status Register 2 does not have user
programmable nonvolatile bits, all defined bits are volatile read only status. The default state of these bits are set by hardware.
Erase Error (E_ERR) SR2V[6]: The Erase Error Bit is used as an Erase operation success or failure indication. When the Erase
Error bit is set to a “1” it indicates that there was an error in the last erase operation. This bit will also be set when the user attempts
to erase an individual protected main memory sector or erase a locked Security Region. The Chip Erase command will set E_ERR if
a protected sector is found during the command execution. When the Erase Error bit is set to a “1” this bit can be cleared to zero with
the Clear Status Register (CLSR) command. This is a read-only bit and is not affected by the WRR or WRAR commands.
Program Error (P_ERR) SR2V[5]: The Program Error Bit is used as a program operation success or failure indication. When the
Program Error bit is set to a “1” it indicates that there was an error in the last program operation. This bit will also be set when the
user attempts to program within a protected main memory sector, or program within a locked Security Region. When the Program
Error bit is set to a “1” this bit can be cleared to zero with the Clear Status Register (CLSR) command. This is a read-only bit and is
not affected by the WRR or WRAR commands.
Erase Suspend (ES) SR2V[1]: The Erase Suspend bit is used to determine when the device is in Erase Suspend mode. This is a
status bit that cannot be written by the user. When Erase Suspend bit is set to “1”, the device is in erase suspend mode. When Erase
Suspend bit is cleared to “0”, the device is not in erase suspend mode. Refer to Section 8.6.5. Program or Erase Suspend (PES
75h) on page 94 for details about the Erase Suspend/Resume commands.

6.6.3.2 Configuration Register 1 Volatile (CR1V)
Related Commands: Read Configuration Register 1 (RDCR1 35h), Write Enable for Volatile (WRENV 50h), Write Registers (WRR
01h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register (WRAR 71h). This is the register displayed by the RDCR1 command.
Suspend Status (SUS) CR1V[7]: The Suspend Status bit is used to determine when the device is in Erase or Program suspend
mode. This is a status bit that cannot be written by the user. When Suspend Status bit is set to “1”, the device is in erase or program
suspend mode. When Suspend Status bit is cleared to “0”, the device is not in erase or program suspend mode. Refer to
Section 8.6.5. Program or Erase Suspend (PES 75h) on page 94 for details about the Erase/Program Suspend/Resume
commands. Complement Protection (CMP) CR1V[6]: CMP is used in conjunction with TBPROT, BP3, BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits to
provide more flexibility for the array protection map, to protect from 1/2 to all of the array.
LB[3:0] CR1V[5:2]: These bits are volatile copies of the related OTP bits of CR1NV. These bits track any changes to the related
OTP version of these bits.
Quad Data Width (QUAD) CR1V[1]: When set to 1, this bit switches the data width of the device to 4 bit - Quad mode. That is, WP#
becomes IO2 and IO3 / RESET# becomes an active I/O signal when CS# is low or the RESET# input when CS# is high. The WP#
input is not monitored for its normal function and is internally set to high (inactive). The commands for Serial, and Dual I/O Read still
function normally but, there is no need to drive the WP# input for those commands when switching between commands using
different data path widths. Similarly, there is no requirement to drive the IO3 / RESET# during those commands (while CS# is low).
The QUAD bit must be set to one when using the Quad Output Read, Quad I/O Read, DDR Quad I/O Read. The volatile register
write for QIO mode has a short and well defined time (tQEN) to switch the device interface into QIO mode and (tQEX) to switch the
device back to SPI mode. Following commands can then be immediately sent in QIO protocol. While QPI mode is entered or exited
by the QPIEN and QPIEX commands, or by setting the CR2V[3] bit to 1, the Quad data width mode is in use whether the QUAD bit
is set or not.
Status Register Protect 1(SRP1) CR1V[0]: The SRP1 Bit, when set to 1, protects the current state of the SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV,
CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV registers by preventing any write of these registers. See Status Register Protect
(SRP1, SRP0) on page 46
As long as the SRP1 bit remains cleared to logic 0 the SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV, and DLRV
registers are not protected by SRP1. However, these registers may be protected by SRP0 (SR1V[7]) and the WP# input.
Once the SRP1 bit has been written to a logic 1 it can only be cleared to a logic 0 by a power-off to power-on cycle or a hardware
reset. Software reset will not affect the state of the SRP1 bit.
The CR1V[0] SRP1 bit is volatile and the default state of SRP1 after power-on comes from SRP1_D in CR1NV[0]. The SRP1 bit can
be set in parallel with updating other values in CR1V by a single WRR or WRAR command.

6.6.4 Configuration Register 2
Configuration register 2 controls certain interface functions. The register bits can be read and changed using the Read Any Register
and Write Any Register commands. The nonvolatile version of the register provides the ability to set the POR, hardware reset, or
software reset state of the controls. The volatile version of the register controls the feature behavior during normal operation.
6.6.4.1 Configuration Register 2 Nonvolatile (CR2NV)
Related Commands: Nonvolatile Write Enable (WREN 06h), Write Registers (WRR 01h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any
Register (WRAR 71h).
IO3 _Reset Nonvolatile CR2NV[7]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the IO3 signal behavior.
Most legacy SPI devices do not have a hardware reset input signal due to the limited signal count and connections available in
traditional SPI device packages. The FL-L family provides the option to use the IO3 signal as a hardware reset input when the IO3
signal is not in use for transferring information between the host system and the memory. This Nonvolatile IO3_Reset configuration
bit enables the device to start immediately (boot) with IO3 enabled for use as a RESET# signal.
Output Impedance Nonvolatile CR2NV[6:5]: These bits control the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the IO signal
output impedance (drive strength). Multiple drive strength are available to help match the output impedance with the system printed
circuit board environment to minimize overshoot and ringing. These Nonvolatile output impedance configuration bits enable the
device to start immediately (boot) with the appropriate drive strength.

QPI Nonvolatile CR2NV[3]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the expected instruction width for
all commands. Legacy SPI commands always send the instruction one bit wide (serial I/O) on the SI (IO0) signal. The FL-L family
also supports the QPI mode in which all transfers between the host system and memory are 4 bits wide on IO0 to IO3, including all
instructions. This nonvolatile QPI configuration bit enables the device to start immediately (boot) in QPI mode rather than the legacy
serial instruction mode. The recommended procedure for moving to QPI mode is to first use the QPIEN (38h) command, the WRR or
WRAR command can also set CR2V[3]=1, QPI mode. The volatile register write for QPI mode has a short and well defined time
(tQEN) to switch the device interface into QPI mode and (tQEX) to switch the device back to SPI mode Following commands can then
be immediately sent in QPI protocol. The WRAR command can be used to program CR2NV[3]=1, followed by polling of SR1V[0] to
know when the programming operation is completed. Similarly, to exit QPI mode use the QPIEX (F5h) command. The WRR or
WRAR command can also be used to clear CR2V[3]=0.
Write Protect Selection Nonvolatile CR2NV[2]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the Write
Protect Method. This nonvolatile configuration bit enables the device to start immediately (boot) with Individual Block Lock protection
rather than Legacy Block protection.
Address Length at Power-up Nonvolatile CR2NV[1]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the
expected address length for all commands that require address and are not fixed 3 Byte or 4 Byte only address. Most commands
that need an address are legacy SPI commands that traditionally used 3 byte (24 bit) address. For device densities greater than
128 Mb a 4 Byte (32 bit) address is required to access the entire memory array. The address length configuration bit is used to
change all 3 Byte address commands to expect 4 Byte address. See Table 32, FL-L Family Command Set (sorted by function)
on page 60 for command address length. This Nonvolatile Address Length configuration bit enables the device to start immediately
(boot) in 4 Byte address mode rather than the legacy 3 Byte address mode.
6.6.4.2 Configuration Register 2 Volatile (CR2V)
Related Commands: Read Configuration Register 2 (RDCR2 15h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Enable for Volatile
(WRENV 50h), Write Register (WRR 01h), Write Any Register (WRAR 71h), Enter 4 Byte address mode (4BEN B7h), Exit 4 Byte
address mode (4BEX E9h), Enter QPI (38h), Exit QPI (F5h). This is the register displayed by the RDCR2 command.
IO3 Reset CR2V[7]: This bit controls the IO3 / RESET# signal behavior. This volatile IO3 Reset configuration bit enables the use of
IO3 as a RESET# input during normal operation when CS# is high or Quad Mode is disabled (CR1V[1] = 0) or QPI is disabled
(CR3V[3] = 0).

Output Impedance CR2V[6:5]: These bits control the IO signal output impedance (drive strength). This volatile output impedance
configuration bit enables the user to adjust the drive strength during normal operation.
QPI CR2V[3]: This bit controls the expected instruction width for all commands. This volatile QPI configuration bit enables the
device to enter and exit QPI mode during normal operation. When this bit is set to QPI mode, the QUAD mode is active, independent
of the setting of QIO mode (CR1V[1]). When this bit is cleared to legacy SPI mode, the QUAD bit is not affected. The QPI CR2V[3]
bit can also be set to “1” by the QPIEN (38h) command and set to “0” by the QPIEX (F5h) command.
Write Protect Selection CR2V[2]: This bit selects which Array protection method is used; Legacy Block Protection on page 48) or
Individual Block Lock (IBL) Protection on page 51. These volatile configuration bits enable the user to change Protection method
during normal operation.
Address Length at Power-on (ADP) CR2V[1]: This bit is read only and shows what the address length will be after power-on reset,
hardware reset, or software reset for all commands that require address and are not fixed 3 Byte or 4 Byte address.
Address Length Status (ADS) CR2V[0]: This bit controls the expected address length for all commands that require address and
are not fixed 3 Byte or 4 Byte address. See Table 32, FL-L Family Command Set (sorted by function) on page 60 for command
address length. This volatile Address Length configuration bit enables the address length to be changed during normal operation.
The four byte address mode (4BEN) command directly sets this bit into 4 byte address mode and the (4BEX) command exits sets
this bit back into 3 byte address mode. This bit is also updated when the Address Length nonvolatile CR2NV[1] bit is updated.
6.6.5 Configuration Register 3
Configuration register 3 controls the main Flash array read commands burst wrap behavior and read latency. The burst wrap
configuration does not affect commands reading from areas other than the main Flash array e.g. read commands for registers or
Security Regions. The nonvolatile version of the register provides the ability to set the start up (boot) state of the controls as the
contents are copied to the volatile version of the register during the POR, hardware reset, or software reset. The volatile version of
the register controls the feature behavior during normal operation.
The register bits can be read and changed using the, Read Configuration 3 (RDCR3 33h), Write Registers (WRR 01h), Read Any
Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register (WRAR 71h). The volatile version of the register can also be written by the Set Burst
Length (77h) command.

Wrap Length Nonvolatile CR3NV[6:5]: These bits controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the wrapped read
length and alignment.
Wrap Enable Nonvolatile CR3NV[4]: This bit controls the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the wrap enable. The
commands affected by Wrap Enable are: Quad I/O Read, QPI Read, DDR Quad I/O Read and DDR QPI Read. This configuration bit
enables the device to start immediately (boot) in wrapped burst read mode rather than the legacy sequential read mode.
Read Latency Nonvolatile CR3NV[3:0]: These bits control the POR, hardware reset, or software reset state of the read latency
(dummy cycle) delay in all variable latency read commands. The following read commands have a variable latency period between
the end of address or mode and the beginning of read data returning to the host:
■The latency delay per clock frequency for the following commands are: One dummy cycle for all clock frequency's. The default
latency code of “0” is one dummy cycle.

❐Protect Register Read PRRD (1-1-1) or (4-4-4)
❐Password Read PASSRD (1-1-1) or (4-4-4)
■The latency delay per clock frequency for the following commands are shown in Table 16 and Table 17 below. The default latency
code of “0” is 8 dummy cycles.

Notes:
1. SCK frequency > 108MHz SDR, or 54MHz DDR is not supported by these devices.
2. The Dual I/O, Quad I/O, QPI, DDR Quad I/O, and DDR Q PI command protocols include Continuous Read Mode bits following the address. The clock cycles for th ese
bits are not counted as part of the latency cycles shown in the tabl e. Example: the legacy Quad I/O command has 2 Continuous Read Mode cycles following the
address. Therefore, t he legacy Quad I/O command without additional read latency is supported only up to the frequency shown in the table for a read latency of 0
cycles. By increasing the variable read latency the frequency of the Quad I/O comma nd can be increased to allow operation up to the maximum supported 108 MHz
frequency and QPI maximum supported 108 MHz.
3. Other commands have fixed latency, e.g. Read always has zero read latency, Read Unique ID has 32 dummy cycles and release from Deep Power-Down has 24
dummy cycles.

6.6.6 Individual and Region Protection Register (IRP)
Related Commands: IRP Read (IRPRD 2Bh) and IRP Program (IRPP 2Fh), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register
(WRAR 71h).
The IRP register is a 16 bit OTP memory location used to permanently configure the behavior of Individual and Region Protection
(IRP) features. IRP does not have user programmable volatile bits, all defined bits are OTP.
The default state of the IRP bits are programmed by Cypress.
Security Regions Read Password Mode Enable (SECRRP) IRP[6]: When programmed to “0”, SECRRP enables the Security
Region 3 read password mode when PWDMLB bit IRP[2] is program at same time or later. The SECRRP bit can only be
programmed when IRP[2:0] = “111”, if not programming will fail with P_ERR set to 1. See Section 7.7.4. Security Region Read
Password Protection on page 57.
IBL Lock Boot Bit (IBLLBB) IRP[4]: The default state is 1, all individual IBL bits are set to “0” in the protected state, following
power-up, hardware reset, or software reset. In order to Program or Erase the Array the Global IBL Unlock or the Sector / Block IBL
Unlock command must be given before the Program or Erase commands. When programmed to 0, all the individual IBL bits are in
the un-protected state following power-up, hardware reset, or software reset. The IBLLBB bit can only be programmed when
IRP[2:0] = “111”, if not programming will fail with P_ERR set to “1”. See Section 7.6.2. Individual Block Lock (IBL) Protection
on page 51.
Password Protection Mode Lock Bit (PWDMLB) IRP[2]: When programmed to “0”, the Password Protection Mode is permanently
selected to protect the Security Regions 2 and 3 and Pointer Region. The PWDMLB bit can only be programmed when IRP[2:0] =
“111”, if not programming will fail with P_ERR set to 1. See Section 7.7.3. Password Protection Mode on page 56.
After the Password protection mode is selected by programming IRP[2] = “0”, the state of all IRP bits are locked and permanently
protected from further programming. Attempting to program any IRP bits will result in a programming error with P_ERR set to 1.
The Password must be programmed and verified, before the Password Mode (IRP[2]=0) is set.

Power Supply Lock-down protection Mode Lock Bit (PSLMLB) IRP[1]: When programmed to 0, the Power Supply Lock-down
protection Mode is permanently selected. The PSLMLB bit can only be programmed when IRP[2:0] = “111”, if not programming will
fail with P_ERR set to “1”.
After the Power Supply Lock-down protection mode is selected by programming IRP[1] = 0”, the state of all IRP bits are locked and
permanently protected from further programming. Attempting to program any IRP bits will result in a programming error with P_ERR
set to “1”. See Section 7.7.1. IRP Register on page 55
Permanent Protection Lock Bit (PERMLB) IRP[0]: When programmed to 0, the Permanent Protection Lock Bit permanently
protects the Pointer Region and Security Regions 2 and 3, This bit provides a simple way to permanently protect the Pointer Region
and Security Regions 2 and 3 without the use of a password or the PRL command. See Section 7.7.1. IRP Register on page 55
PWDMLB (IRP[2]), PSLMLB (IRP[1]) and PERMLB(IRP[0]) are mutually exclusive, only one may be programmed to zero. IRP bits
may only be programmed while IRP[2:0] = “111”. Attempting to program IRP bits when IRP[2:0] is not = “111” will result in a
programming error with P_ERR set to “1”. The IRP protection mode should be selected during system configuration to ensure that a
malicious program does not select an undesired protection mode at a later time. By locking all the protection configuration via the
IRP mode selection, later alteration of the protection methods by malicious programs is prevented.
6.6.7 Password Register (PASS)
Related Commands: Password Read (PASSRD E7h) and Password Program (PASSP E8h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write
Any Register (WRAR 71h). The PASS register is a 64 bit OTP memory location used to permanently define a password for the
Individual and Region Protection (IRP) feature. PASS does not have user programmable volatile bits, all defined bits are OTP. A
volatile copy of PASS is used to satisfy read latency requirements but the volatile register is not user writable or further described.
The Password can not be read or programmed after IRP[2] is programmed to “0”. See Table 19, IRP Register (IRP) on page 41.
6.6.8 Protection Register (PR)
Related Commands: Protection Register Read (PRRD A7h) Protection Register Lock (PRL A6h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h).
PR does not have separate user programmable nonvolatile bits, all defined bits are volatile read only status. The default state of the
RFU bits is set by hardware. There is no nonvolatile version of the PR register.
The NVLOCK bit is used to protect the Security Regions 2 and 3 and Pointer Region Protection. When NVLOCK[0] = 0, the Security
Regions 2 and 3 and Pointer Region Protection can not be changed.

6.6.10 Pointer Region Protection Register (PRPR)
Related Commands: Set Pointer Region (SPRP FBh or 4SPRP E3h), Read Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register (WRAR
71h).
PRPR contains user programmable nonvolatile bits. The default state of the PRPR bits is set by hardware. There is no volatile
version of the PRPR register. See Section 7.6.3. Pointer Region Protection (PRP) on page 52 for additional details.
6.6.11 DDR Data Learning Registers
Related Commands: Program DLRNV (PDLRNV 43h), Write DLRV (WDLRV 4Ah), Data Learning Pattern Read (DLPRD 41h), Read
Any Register (RDAR 65h), Write Any Register (WRAR 71h).
The Data Learning Pattern (DLP) resides in an 8-bit Nonvolatile Data Learning Register (DLRNV) as well as an 8-bit Volatile Data
Learning Register (DLRV). When shipped from Cypress, the DLRNV value is 00h. Once programmed, the DLRNV cannot be
reprogrammed or erased; a copy of the data pattern in the DLRNV will also be written to the DLRV. The DLRV can be written to at
any time, but on hardware and software reset or power cycles the data pattern will revert back to what is in the DLRNV. During the
learning phase described in the SPI DDR modes, the DLP will come from the DLRV. Each IO will output the same DLP value for
every clock edge. For example, if the DLP is 34h (or binary 00110100) then during the first clock edge all IO’s will output 0;
subsequently, the 2nd clock edge all I/O’s will output 0, the 3rd will output 1, etc.
When the DLRV value is 00h, no preamble data pattern is presented during the dummy phase in the DDR commands.

7. Data Protection
7.1 Security Regions
The device has a 1024 byte address space that is separate from the main Flash array. This area is divided into 4, individually
lockable, 256 byte length regions. See Section 6.5. Security Regions Address Space on page 28.
The Security Region memory space is intended for increased system security. The data values can “mate” a flash component with
the system CPU/ASIC to prevent device substitution. The Security Region address space is protected by the Security Region Lock
bits or the Protection Register NVLOCK bit (PR[0]). See Section 7.1.4. Security Region Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1, LB0) on page 45.
7.1.1 Reading Security Region Memory Regions
The Security Region Read command (SECRR) uses the same protocol as Fast Read. Read operations outside the valid 1024 byte
Security Region address range will yield indeterminate data. See Section 8.7.3. Security Regions Read (SECRR 48h) on page 98.
Security Region 3 may be password protected from read by setting the PWDMLB bit IRP[2] = 0 and SECRRP bit IRP[6] = 0 when
NVLOCK = 0.
7.1.2 Programming the Security Regions
The protocol of the Security Region programming command (SECRP) is the same as Page Program. See Section 8.7.2. Security
Region Program (SECRP 42h) on page 98
The valid address range for Security Region Program is depicted in Table 5 on page 28. Security Region Program operations
outside the valid Security Region address range will be ignored, without P_ERR in SR2V[5] set to “1”.
Security Regions 2 and 3 may be password protected from programming by setting the PWDMLB bit IRP[2] = 0.
7.1.3 Erasing the Security Regions
The protocol of the Security Region erasing command (SECRE) is the same as Sector erase. See Section 8.7.1. Security Region
Erase (SECRE 44h) on page 97
The valid address range for Security Region Erase is depicted in Table5 onpage28. Security Region Erase operations outside the
valid Security Region address range will be ignored, without E_ERR in SR2V set to “1”.
Security Regions 2 and 3 may be password protected from erasing by setting the PWDMLB bit IRP[2] = 0.
7.1.4 Security Region Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1, LB0)
The Security Region Lock Bits (LB3, LB2, LB1, LB0) are nonvolatile One Time Program (OTP) bits in Configuration Register
1(CR1NV[5:2]) that provide the write protect control and status to the Security Regions. The default state of Security Regions 0 to 3
are unlocked. LB[3:0] can be set to 1 individually using the Write Status Registers or Write Any Register command. LB[3:0] are One
Time Programmable (OTP), once it’s set to 1, the corresponding 256 Byte Security Region will become read-only permanently.
7.2 Deep Power Down
The Deep Power Down (DPD) command offers an alternative means of data protection as all commands are ignored during the DPD
state, except for the Release from Deep Power Down (RES ABh) command and hardware reset. Thus, preventing any program or
erase during the DPD state.
Document Number: 002-12878 Rev. *E Page 46 of 152
S25FL064L
7.3 Write Enable Commands
7.3.1 Write Enable (WREN)
The Write Enable (WREN) command must be written prior to any command that modifies nonvolatile data. The WREN command
sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit. The WEL bit is cleared to 0 (disables writes) during power-up, hardware and software reset,
or after the device completes the following commands:
Reset
Page Program (PP or 4PP)
Quad Page Program (QPP or 4QPP)
Sector Erase (SE or 4SE)
Half Block Erase (HBE or 4HBE)
Block Erase (BE or 4BE)

Write Volatile Data Learning Register (WDLRV)
7.3.2 Write Enable for Volatile Registers (WRENV)
The Write Enable Volatile (WRENV) command must be written prior to Write Register (WRR) command that modifies volatile
registers data.
7.4 Write Protect Signal
When not in Quad mode (CR1V[1] = 0) or QPI mode (CR2V[3] = 0), the Write Protect (WP#) input in combination with the Status
Register Protect 0 (SRP0) bit (SR1NV[7]) provide hardware input signal controlled protection. When WP# is Low and SRP0 is set to
“1” Status Register 1 (SR1NV and SR1V), Configuration register (CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V and CR3NV) and DDR Data
Learning Registers (DLRNV and DLRV) are protected from alteration. This prevents disabling or changing the protection defined by
the Legacy Block Protect bits or Security Region Lock Bits. See Section 6.6.1. Status Register 1 on page 29.
7.5 Status Register Protect (SRP1, SRP0)
The Status Register Protect bits (SRP1 and SRP0) are volatile bits in the configuration and status registers (CR1V[0] and SR1V[7]).
The SRP bits control the method of write protection for SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV: software
protection, hardware protection, or power supply lock-down
Document Number: 002-12878 Rev. *E Page 47 of 152
S25FL064L
Table 26. Status Register Protection Bits (High Security)
Notes:
1. SRP0 is reloaded from SRP0_NV (SR1NV[7]) default state after a power-down, power-up cycle, software or hardware reset. To enable hardware protection mode by
the WP# pin at power- up set the SRP0_NV bit to “1”.
2. When SRP1 = 1, a power-down, power-up cycle, or hardware reset, will change SRP1 to 0 as SRP1 is reloaded from SRP1_D.
3. SRP1_D can be written only when IRP[2:0] =”111”. When SRP1 _D CR1NV[0]=”1” a p ower- down, power -up cycle, or h ardware reset, will reload S RP1 fro m SRP1_D =
”1” the volatile bit SRP 1 is not writable, thus providi ng OTP prot ection. When SRP1 _D is programmed t o 1, Recommended t hat SRP0_NV should also be programmed
to 1 as an indication that OTP protection is in use.
4. When QPI or QIO mode is enabled (CR2V [3] or CR1V[1] = “1”) the internal WP# signal level is = 1 because the WP# external input is used as IO2 when either mode
is active. This effectively turns off hardware protection when SRP1-SRP0 = 01b. The Register SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV, CR2V, CR3NV, DLRN V and
DLRV are unlocked and can be written.
5. WIP, WEL, and SUS (SR1[1:0] and CR1[7]) are volatile read only status bits th at are never affected by the Write Status Registers command.
6. The nonvolatile version of SR1NV, CR1NV, CR2NV and CR3NV are not writable when protected by the SRP bits and WP# as shown in the table. The nonvolatile
version of these status register bits are selected for writing when the Write Enable (06h) command precedes the Write Status Re gisters (01h) command or the Write
Any Register (71h) command.
7. The volatile version of registers SR1V, CR1V and CR2V are not writable when protected by the SRP bits and WP# as shown in the table. The volatile versio n of t hese
status register bits are se lected for writing when the Write En able for volatile Status Register (50h) command precedes the Write Status Registers (01h) commandor
the Write Enable (06h) command precedes the Write Any Register (71h) command.
8. The volatile CR3V bi ts a re not pr ote cted by the SRP bits and may be writte n a t any t ime by volatile (5 0h) Write E nabl e command precedin g the Write Status Registers
(01h) command. The WRAR (71h) and SBL (77h) commands are alternative ways to write bits in the CR3V register.
9. During system power up and boot code execution: Trusted boot code can determine whether there is any need to change SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV,
CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV values. If no changes are needed the SRP1 bit (CR1V[0]) can be set to 1 to protect the SR1NV, SR1V, CR1NV, CR1V, CR2NV,
CR2V, CR3NV, DLRNV and DLRV registers from changes during the remainder of normal system operation while power remains on.

7.6 Array Protection
There are three types of memory array protection: Legacy Block (LBP), Individual Block Lock (IBL) and Pointer Region (PRP). The
Write Protect Selection (WPS) bit is used by the user to enable one of two protection mechanisms: Legacy Block (LBP) protection
(WPS CR2V[2]=0)or Individual Block Lock (IBL) protection (WPS CR2V[2]=1). See Configuration Register 2 Volatile (CR2V)
on page 35. Only one protection mechanism can be enabled at one time. The Legacy Block Protection is the default protection and
is mutually exclusive with the IBL protection scheme. The Pointer Region Protection is enabled by the Set Pointer Region Protection
command or the WRAR command by the value of A10 = 0. See Pointer Region Command on page 103. When the Pointer Region
Protection is enabled it is logically ORed with the Legacy Block Protection or Individual Block Lock protection.
Figure 24. WPS Selection of LBP or IBL and PRP Array Protection
7.6.1 Legacy Block Protection
The Legacy Block Protect bits Status Register bits BP2, BP1, BP0 -- SR1V[4:2]) in combination with the Configuration Register
TBPROT (SR1V[5])bit, CMP (CR1V[6] bit and SEC (SR1V[6]) can be used to protect an address range of the main Flash array from
program and erase operations. The size of the range is determined by the value of the BP bits and the upper or lower starting point
of the range is selected by the TBPROT bit of the configuration register (SR1V[5]). The protection is complemented when the CMP
bit (CR1V[6]) is set to 1.
If the Pointer Region Protection is enabled this region protection is logically ORed with the Legacy Block protection region.

7.6.2 Individual Block Lock (IBL) Protection
Individual Block Lock Bits (IBL) are volatile, with one bit for each sector / block, and each bit can be individually modified. By issuing
the IBL or GBL commands, a IBL bit is set to “0” protecting each related sector / block. By issuing the IBUL or GUL commands, a IBL
bit is cleared to “1” unprotecting each related sector or block. By issuing the IBLRD command the state of each IBL bit can be read.
This feature allows software to easily protect individual sectors / blocks against inadvertent changes, yet does not prevent the easy
removal of protection when changes are needed. The IBL’s can be set or cleared as often as needed as they are volatile bits.
Every main 64KB Block and the 4KB Sectors in bottom and top blocks has a volatile Individual Block Lock Bit (IBL) associated with
it. When a sector / block IBL bit is “0”, the related sector/block is protected from program and erase operations.
If the Pointer Region Protection is enabled this protected region is logically ORed with the IBL bits.
Following power-up, hardware reset, or software reset the default state [IBLLBB = 1] (see Table 19, IRP Register (IRP) on page 41)
all individual IBL bits are set to “0” in the protected state. In order to Program or Erase the Array the Global IBL Unlock or the Sector
/ Block IBL Unlock command must be given before the Program or Erase commands. When [IBLLBB = 0], all the individual IBL bits
are set to “1” in the un-protected state following power-up, hardware reset, or software reset.

7.6.3 Pointer Region Protection (PRP)
The Pointer Region Protection is defined by a nonvolatile address pointer that selects any 4KB sector as the boundary between
protected and unprotected regions in the memory. This provides a protection scheme with individual sector granularity that remains
in effect across power cycles and reset operations. PRP settings can also be protected from modification until the next power cycle,
until a password is supplied, or can be permanently locked. PRP can be used in combination with either the Legacy Block Protection
or Individual Block Lock protection methods. When enabled, PRP protection is logically ORed with the protection method selected
by the WPS bit (CR2V[2])
The Set Pointer Region Protection (SPRP FBh or 4SPRP E3h) command (see Section 8.9 on page 103) or Write Any Register
(WRAR 71h) command to write the PRPR register (see Section 8.3.15 on page 77) is used to enable or disable PRP, and set the
pointer value.
After the Set Block/Pointer Protection command is given or Write Any Register (WRAR 71h) command to write the PRPR register,
the value of A10 enables or disables the pointer protection mechanism. If A10 = 1, then the pointer protection region is disabled.
This is the default state, and the rest of pointer values are don’t care. If A10=0, then the pointer protection region is enabled. The
value of A10 is written in the nonvolatile pointer bit in the PRPR. The pointer address values for RFU bits are don’t care but these bit
locations will read back as ones. See Section 6.6.10 on page 44 for additional information on the PRPR.
If the pointer protection mechanism is enabled, the pointer value determines the block boundary between the protected and the
unprotected regions in the memory. The pointer boundary is set by the three (A23-A12) or four (A31-A12) address bytes written to
the nonvolatile pointer value in the PRPR. The area that is unprotected will be inclusive of the 4KB sector selected by the pointer
value.
The value of A9 is used to determine whether the region that is unprotected will start from the top (highest address) or bottom
(lowest address) of the memory array to the location of the pointer. If A9=0 when the SPRP or 4SPRP command is issued followed
by a the address, then the 4-kB sector which includes that address and all the sectors from the bottom up (zero to higher address)
will be unprotected. If A9=1 when the SPRP or 4SPRPcommand is issued followed by address then the 4-kB sector which includes
that address and all the sectors from the Top down (max to lower address) will be unprotected. The value of A9 is in the nonvolatile
pointer value in the PRPR.
The A11 bit can be used to protect all sectors. If A11=1, then all sectors are protected. If A11=0, then the unprotected range will be
determined by Amax-A12. The value of A11 is in the nonvolatile pointer value in the PRPR.
The SPRP or 4SPRP command is ignored during a suspend operation because the pointer value cannot be erased and re-
programmed during a suspend.
The SPRP or 4SPRP command is ignored if NVLOCK PR[0]=0.
The Read Any Register 65h command (see Section 8.3.14 on page 75) reads the contents of PRP access register. This allows the
contents of the pointer to be read out for test and verification.
If the pointer protect scheme is active (A10=0), and the pointer protects any portion of the address space to which an erase
command is applied, the erase command fails. For example, if the pointer protection is protecting 4KB of the array that would be
affected by a Block erase command, that erase command fails. Chip Erase CEh command is ignored if PRP is enabled (A10=0) and
this will set the E_ERR status bit.
If the Pointer Region Protection is enabled this protection is logically ORed with either the Legacy Block protection region if WPS
CR2V[2]=0 or Individual Block Lock protection if WPS CR2V[2]=1 (See Figure 24, WPS Selection of LBP or IBL and PRP Array
Protection on page 48).

7.7 Individual and Region Protection
Individual and Region Protection (IRP) is the name used for a set of independent hardware and software methods used to disable or
enable programming or erase operations on Security Regions 2 and 3 and the Pointer Region Protection Register.
Each method manages the state of the NVLOCK bit (PR[0]). When NVLOCK =1, the Security Regions 2 and 3 and the Pointer
Region Protection Register (PRPR) may be programmed and erased. When NVLOCK =0, the Security Regions 2 and 3 and PRPR
can not be programmed or erased. Note, the Security Regions 2 and 3 are also protected respectively by LB2 or LB3=1
(CR1NV[4:5]).
Power Supply Lock-down protection is the default method. This method sets the NVLOCK bit to “1” during POR or Hardware Reset
so that the NVLOCK related areas and registers are unprotected by a device reset. The PRL (A6h) command clears the NVLOCK bit
to “0” to protect the NVLOCK related areas and registers. There is no command in the Power Supply Lock-down method to set the
NVLOCK bit to “1”, therefore the NVLOCK bit will remain at “0” until the next power-off or hardware reset. The Power Supply Lock-
down method allows boot code the option of changing Security Regions 2 and 3 or the value in PRPR, by programming or erasing
these nonvolatile areas, then protecting these nonvolatile areas from further change for the remainder of normal system operation
by clearing the NVLOCK bit to “0”. This is sometimes called Boot-code controlled protection.
The Password method clears the Protection Register NVLOCK bit to 0 and sets the SECRRP bit = IRP[6] during POR or Hardware
Reset to protect the NVLOCK related areas and registers. The SECRRP bit determines whether Security Region 3 is readable. A 64
bit password may be permanently programmed and hidden for the password method. The PASSU (EAh) command can be used to
provide a password for comparison with the hidden password. If the password matches, the NVLOCK bit is set to “1” to unprotect the
NVLOCK related areas and registers. The PRL (A6h) command can be used to clear the NVLOCK bit to “0” to turn on protection
again.
The Permanent method permanently sets the SECRRP bit = 1 and clears NVLOCK to 0. This permanently protects the Security
Regions 2 and 3 and the PRPR.The selection of the NVLOCK bit management method is made by programming OTP bits in the IRP
Register (IRP[2 or 1 or 0] so as to permanently select the method used. An overview of all methods is shown in Figure 26,
Permanent, Password and Power Supply Lock-down Protection Overview on page 54.

7.7.1 IRP Register
The IRP register is used to permanently configure the behavior of Individual and Region Protection (IRP) features.
See Table 19, IRP Register (IRP) on page 41.
As shipped from the factory, all devices default to the Power Supply Lock-down protection mode, with all regions unprotected.
The device programmer or host system must then choose which protection method to use by programming one of the one-time
programmable bits, Permanent, Power Supply Lock-down or Password Protection Mode. Programming one of these bits locks the
part permanently in the selected mode:
Factory Defaults IRP Register
– IRP[6] = “1” = Read Password Protection Mode not enabled.
– IRP[4] = “1” = IBL bits power-up in protected state.
– IRP[2] = “1” = Password Protection Mode not enabled.
– IRP[1] = “1” = Power Supply Lock-down protection Mode not enabled but is the default mode.
– IRP[0] = “1” = Permanent Protection Mode not enabled.
IRP register programming rules:
If the Read Password mode is chosen, the SECRRP bit must be programmed prior or at the same time as setting the
Password Protection mode Lock Bits IRP[2].
If the IBL bits power-up in unprotected mode is chosen, the IBLLBB bit must be programmed prior or at the same time as
setting one of the Protection mode Lock Bits IRP[2:0].
If the password mode is chosen, the password must be programmed prior to setting the Password Protection mode Lock
Bits IRP[2].
The protection modes are mutually exclusive, only one may be selected. Once one of the Protection Modes is selected
IPRP[2:0], the IRP Register bits are permanently protected from programming and no further changes to the OTP register
bits is allowed. If an attempt to change any of the register bits above, after the Protection mode is selected, the operation
will fail and P_ERR (SR2V[5]) will be set to 1.
The programming time of the IRP Register is the same as the typical page programming time. The system can determine the status
of the IRP register programming operation by reading the WIP bit in the Status Register. See Section 6.6.1. Status Register 1
on page 29 for information on WIP.
See Section 7.7.3. Password Protection Mode on page 56.
7.7.1.1 IBL Lock Boot Bit
The default IBL Lock Bit IRP[4]=1, all the IBL bits on power-up or reset (after a hardware reset or software reset) to the “protected
state.” If the IBL Lock Bit IRP[4]=0 (programmed), the IBL power-up or reset to the “unprotected state.”
Document Number: 002-12878 Rev. *E Page 56 of 152
S25FL064L
7.7.2 Protection Register (PR)
7.7.2.1 NVLOCK Bit (PR[0])
The NVLOCK bit is a volatile bit for protecting:
Pointer Region Protection Register
Security Regions 2 and 3
When cleared to “0”, NVLOCK locks the related regions. When set to “1”, it allows the related regions to be changed. See
Section 6.6.8. Protection Register (PR) on page 42 for more information.
The PRL command is used to clear the NVLOCK bit to “0”. The NVLOCK Bit should be cleared to “0” only after all the related regions
are configured to the desired settings.
In Power Supply Lock-down protection mode, the NVLOCK is set to “1” during POR or a hardware reset. A software reset command
does not affect the NVLOCK bit. When cleared to “0”, no software command sequence can set the NVLOCK bit to “1”, only another
hardware reset or power-up can set the NVLOCK bit.
In the Password Protection mode, the NVLOCK bit is cleared to “0” during POR, or a hardware reset. The NVLOCK bit can only be
set to “1” by the Password Unlock command.
The Permanent method permanently clears NVLOCK to 0. This permanently protects the Security Regions 2 and 3 and the PRPR.
7.7.2.2 Security Region Read Password Lock Bit (SECRRP, PR[6])
The SECRRP Bit is a volatile bit for read protecting Security Region 3. When SECRRP[6]=0 the Security Region 3 can not be read,
See Section 6.6.8. Protection Register (PR) on page 42 for more information.
In the Password Protection mode, the SECRRP bit is set equal to IRP[6] during POR or software or hardware reset. The NVLOCK
bit can only be set to “1” by the Password Unlock command. A software reset does not affect the NVLOCK bit.
The Permanent method permanently sets the SECRRP bit = 1. This permanently leaves Security Region 3 readable.
7.7.3 Password Protection Mode
Password Protection Mode allows an even higher level of security than the Power Supply Lock-down protection Mode, by requiring
a 64-bit password for unlocking the NVLOCK bit. In addition to this password requirement, after power up, hardware reset, the
NVLOCK bit is cleared to “0” to ensure protection after power-up or reset. Successful execution of the Password Unlock command
by entering the entire password sets the NVLOCK bit to 1, allowing for sector NVLOCK related areas and registers modifications.
Password Protection Notes:
Once the Password is programmed and verified, the Password Mode (IRP[2]=0) must be set in order to prevent reading the
password.
The Password Program Command is only capable of programming “0”s. Programming a “1” after a cell is programmed as a
“0” results in the cell left as a “0” with no programming error set.
The password is all “1”s when shipped from Cypress. It is located in its own memory space and is accessible through the
use of the Password Program, Password Read, RDAR, and WRAR commands.
All 64-bit password combinations are valid as a password.
The Password Mode, once programmed, prevents reading the 64-bit password and further password programming. All
further program and read commands to the password region are disabled and these commands are ignored or return
undefined data. There is no means to verify what the password is after the Password Mode Lock Bit is selected. Password
verification is only allowed before selecting the Password Protection mode.
The Protection Mode Lock Bits are not erasable.
The exact password must be entered in order for the unlocking function to occur. If the password unlock command provided
password does not match the hidden internal password, the unlock operation fails in the same manner as a programming
operation on a protected sector. The P_ERR bit is set to one, the WIP Bit remains set, and the NVLOCK bit remains
cleared to 0.
Document Number: 002-12878 Rev. *E Page 57 of 152
S25FL064L
The Password Unlock command cannot be accepted any faster than once every 100 µs ± 20 µs. This makes it take an
unreasonably long time (58 million years) for a hacker to run through all the 64-bit combinations in an attempt to correctly
match a password. The Read Status Register 1 command may be used to read the WIP bit to determine when the device
has completed the password unlock command or is ready to accept a new password command. When a valid password is
provided the password unlock command does not insert the 100 µs delay before returning the WIP bit to zero.
If the password is lost after selecting the Password Mode, there is no way to set the NVLOCK bit =1.
7.7.4 Security Region Read Password Protection
The Security Region Read Password Protection enables protecting Security Region 3 from read, program and erase.
Security Region Read Password Protection is an optional addition to the Password Protection Mode (described above).
The Security Regions Read Password Protection is enabled when the user programs SECRRP bit ‘IRP[6] = 0. The
SECRRP bit IRP[6] must be programmed prior or at the same time as setting the Password Protection mode Lock Bits
IRP[2].
The Security Regions Read Password Protection is not active until the password is programmed, IRP[2] is programmed to 0.
When the SECRRP (PR[6]) bit is set to 0 the Security Region 3 is not readable. If these regions are read the resulting data is invalid
and undefined.
7.7.5 Recommended IRP Protection Process
During system manufacture, the Flash device configuration should be defined by:
1. Programming the Security Regions as desired.
2. Set Pointer Region Protection Register as desired
3. Program the Password register (PASS) if password protection will be used.
4. Program the IRP Register as desired, including the selection of Permanent, Power Supply Lock-down or password IRP
protection mode in IRP[2:0]. It is very important to explicitly select a protection mode so that later accidental or malicious
programming of the IRP register is prevented. This is to ensure that only the intended protection features are enabled.
Before or while programming the IRP register:
a. The IBLLBB bit (IRP[4]) may be used to cause all the IBL bits to power up in the unprotected state.
b. The SECRRP bit (IRP[6]) may be programmed to select Security Regions Read Password Protection to use the
password to control read access to the Security Region 3.
During system power up and boot code execution: If the Power Supply Lock-down protection mode is in use, trusted boot code can
determine whether there is any need to modify the NVLOCK related areas or registers. If no changes are needed the NVLOCK bit
can be cleared to 0 via the PRL command to protect the NVLOCK related areas or registers from changes during the remainder of
normal system operation while power remains on.

8. Commands
All communication between the host system and FL-L family memory devices is in the form of units called commands. See
Section 5.2. Command Protocol on page 17 for details on command protocols.
Although host software in some cases is used to directly control the SPI interface signals, the hardware interfaces of the host system
and the memory device generally handle the details of signal relationships and timing. For this reason, signal relationships and
timing are not covered in detail within this software interface focused section of the document. Instead, the focus is on the logical
sequence of bits transferred in each command rather than the signal timing and relationships. Following are some general signal
relationship descriptions to keep in mind. For additional information on the bit level format and signal timing relationships of
commands, see Section 5.2. Command Protocol on page 17.
The host always controls the Chip Select (CS#), Serial Clock (SCK), and Serial Input (SI) - SI for single bit wide transfers.
The memory drives Serial Output (SO) for single bit read transfers. The host and memory alternately drive the IO0-IO3
signals during Dual and Quad transfers.
All commands begin with the host selecting the memory by driving CS# low before the first rising edge of SCK. CS# is kept
low throughout a command and when CS# is returned high the command ends. Generally, CS# remains low for eight bit
transfer multiples to transfer byte granularity information. No commands will be accepted if CS# is returned high not at an 8
bit boundary.
8.1 Command Set Summary
8.1.1 Extended Addressing
1. Instructions that always require a 4-Byte address, used to access up to 32 Gb of memory:
Table 30. Extended Address 4-Byte Address Commands
2. A 4 Byte address mode for backward compatibility to the 3 Byte address instructions. The standard 3 Byte instructions
can be used in conjunction with a 4 Byte address mode controlled by the Address Length configuration bit (CR2V[0]). The
default value of CR2V[0] is loaded from CR2NV[1] (following power up, hardware reset, or software reset), to enable
default 3-Byte (24-bit) or 4 Byte (32 bit) addressing. When the address length (CR2V[0]) set to 1, the legacy commands
are changed to require 4-Bytes (32-bits) for the address field. The following instructions can be used in conjunction with
the 4 Byte address mode configuration to switch from 3-Bytes to 4-Bytes of address field.

8.1.3 Read Device Identification
There are multiple commands to read information about the device manufacturer, device type, and device features. SPI memories
from different vendors have used different commands and formats for reading information about the memories. The FL-L family
supports the three device information commands.
8.1.4 Register Read or Write
There are multiple registers for reporting embedded operation status or controlling device configuration options. There are
commands for reading or writing these registers. Registers contain both volatile and nonvolatile bits. Nonvolatile bits in registers are
automatically erased and programmed as a single (write) operation.
8.1.4.1 Monitoring Operation Status
The host system can determine when a write, program, erase, suspend or other embedded operation is complete by monitoring the
Write in Progress (WIP) bit in the Status Register. The Read from Status Register 1 command or Read Any Register command
provides the state of the WIP bit. The Read from Status Register 1 or Read Any Register command provides the state of the
program error (P_ERR) and erase error (E_ERR) bits in the status register indicate whether the most recent program or erase
command has not completed successfully. When P_ERR or E_ERR bits are set to one, the WIP bit will remain set to one indicating
the device remains busy and unable to receive most new operation commands. Only status reads (RDSR1 05h, RDSR2 07h), Read
Any Register (RDAR 65h), Read Configuration RDCR1, RDCR2 and RDCR3, status clear (CLSR 30h), and software reset (RSTEN
66h followed by RST 99h) are valid commands when P_ERR or E_ERR is set to 1. A Clear Status Register (CLSR) command must
be sent to return the device to standby state. Alternatively, Hardware Reset, or Software Reset (RSTEN 66h followed by RST 99h)
may be used to return the device to standby state.
8.1.4.2 Configuration
There are commands to read, write, and protect registers that control interface path width, interface timing, interface address length,
and some aspects of data protection.
8.1.5 Read Flash Array
Data may be read from the memory starting at any byte boundary. Data bytes are sequentially read from incrementally higher byte
addresses until the host ends the data transfer by driving CS# input High. If the byte address reaches the maximum address of the
memory array, the read will continue at address zero of the array.
Burst Wrap read can be enabled by the Set Burst Length (SBL 77h) command with the requested wrapped read length and
alignment, see Section 8.3.16. Set Burst Length (SBL 77h) on page 78. Burst Wrap read is only for Quad I/O and QPI modes
There are several different read commands to specify different access latency and data path widths. Double Data Rate (DDR)
commands also define the address and data bit relationship to both SCK edges:
The Read command provides a single address bit per SCK rising edge on the SI/IO0 signal with read data returning a
single bit per SCK falling edge on the SO/IO1 signal. This command has zero latency between the address and the
returning data but is limited to a maximum SCK rate of 50MHz.
Other read commands have a latency period between the address and returning data but can operate at higher SCK
frequencies. The latency depends on a configuration register read latency value.
The Fast Read command provides a single address bit per SCK rising edge on the SI/IO0 signal with read data returning a
single bit per SCK falling edge on the SO/IO1 signal.
Dual or Quad Output Read commands provide address on SI/IO0 pin on the SCK rising edge with read data returning two
bits, or four bits of data per SCK falling edge on the IO0 - IO3 signals.
Dual or Quad I/O Read commands provide address two bits or four bits per SCK rising edge with read data returning two
bits, or four bits of data per SCK falling edge on the IO0 - IO3 signals. Continuous read feature is enabled if the mode bits
value is Axh.
Quad Double Data Rate read commands provide address four bits per every SCK edge with read data returning four bits of
data per every SCK edge on the IO0 - IO3 signals. Continuous read feature is enabled if the mode bits value is Axh.

S25FL064L
8.1.6 Program Flash Array
Programming data requires two commands: Write Enable (WREN), and Page Program (PP, 4PP, QPP, 4QPP). The Page Program
command accepts from 1 byte up to 256 consecutive bytes of data (page) to be programmed in one operation. Programming means
that bits can either be left at 1, or programmed from 1 to 0. Changing bits from 0 to 1 requires an erase operation.
8.1.7 Erase Flash Array
The Sector Erase, Half Block Erase, Block Erase, or Chip Erase commands set all the bits in a sector or the entire memory array to
1. A bit needs to be first erased to 1 before programming can change it to a 0. While bits can be individually programmed from a 1 to
0, erasing bits from 0 to 1 must be done on a sector-wide, half block-wide, block-wide or array-wide (Chip) level. The Write Enable
(WREN) command must precede an erase command.
8.1.8 Security Regions, Legacy Block Protection, and Individual and Region
Protection
There are commands to read and program a separate One Time Protection (OTP) array for permanently protected data such as a
serial number. There are commands to control a contiguous group (block) of Flash memory array sectors that are protected from
program and erase operations.There are commands to control which individual Flash memory array sectors are protected from
program and erase operations. There is a mode to limit read access of Security Region 3 until a password is supplied.
8.1.9 Reset
There are commands to reset to the default conditions present after power on to the device. However, the software reset commands
do not affect the current state of the SRP1 or NVLOCK Bits. In all other respects a software reset is the same as a hardware reset.
There is a command to reset (exit from) the Continuous Read Mode.
8.1.10 Reserved
Some instructions are reserved for future use. In this generation of the FL-L family some of these command instructions may be
unused and not affect device operation, some may have undefined results.
Some commands are reserved to ensure that a legacy or alternate source device command is allowed without effect. This allows
legacy software to issue some commands that are not relevant for the current generation FL-L family with the assurance these
commands do not cause some unexpected action.
Some commands are reserved for use in special versions of the FL-L not addressed by this document or for a future generation.
This allows new host memory controller designs to plan the flexibility to issue these command instructions. The command format is
defined if known at the time this document revision is published.

8.2 Identification Commands
8.2.1 Read Identification (RDID 9Fh)
The Read Identification (RDID) command provides read access to manufacturer identification, device identification. The
manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC. The device identification values are assigned by Cypress.
Any RDID command issued while a program, erase, or write cycle is in progress is ignored and has no effect on execution of the
program, erase, or write cycle that is in progress.
The RDID instruction is shifted on SI / IO0. After the last bit of the RDID instruction is shifted into the device, a byte of manufacturer
identification, two bytes of device identification, will be shifted sequentially out on SO / IO1, As a whole this information is referred to
as ID. See Section 10.2. Device ID Address Map on page 122 for the detail description of the ID contents.
Continued shifting of output beyond the end of the defined ID address space will provide undefined data. The RDID command
sequence is terminated by driving CS# to the logic high state anytime during data output. The RDID command is supported up to
108 MHz.
Figure 27. Read Identification (RDID) Command Sequence
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3 and the returning data is shifted
out on IO0-IO3.
Figure 28. Read Identification (RDID) QPI Mode Command
8.2.2 Read Quad Identification (RDQID AFh)
The Read Quad Identification (RDQID) command provides read access to manufacturer identification, device identification. This
command is an alternate way of reading the same information provided by the RDID command while in QPI mode. In all other
respects the command behaves the same as the RDID command.
The command is recognized only when the device is in QPI Mode (CR2V[3]=1) or Quad Mode (CR1V[1]=1). The instruction is
shifted in on IO0-IO3 for QPI Mode and IO0 for Quad Mode. After the last bit of the instruction is shifted into the device, a byte of
manufacturer identification, two bytes of device identification will be shifted sequentially out on IO0-IO3. As a whole this information
is referred to as ID. See Section 10.2. Device ID Address Map on page 122 for the detail description of the ID contents.
Continued shifting of output beyond the end of the defined ID address space will provide undefined data. The command sequence is
terminated by driving CS# to the logic high state anytime during data output.

8.2.3 Read Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (RSFDP 5Ah)
The command is initiated by shifting on SI the instruction code “5Ah”, followed by a 24-bit (3 byte) address or 32-bit (4 byte) address
(depending on the current Address Length configuration of CR2V[0]), followed by the number of read latency (dummy cycles) set by
the Variable Read Latency configuration in CR3V[3:0].
The SFDP bytes are then shifted out on SO/IO1 starting at the falling edge of SCK after the dummy cycles. The SFDP bytes are
always shifted out with the MSb first. If the 24-bit (3 byte) address or 32-bit (4 byte) address is set to any non-zero value, the
selected location in the SFDP space is the starting point of the data read. This enables random access to any parameter in the
SFDP space. In SPI mode the RSFDP command is supported up to 108 MHz.
The Variable Read Latency should be set to 8 cycles for compliance with the JEDEC JESD216 SFDP standard. The nonvolatile
default Variable Read Latency in CR3NV is set to 8 dummy cycles when the device is shipped from Cypress. However, because the
RSFDP command uses the same implementation as other variable address length and latency read commands, users are free to
modify the address length and latency of the command if desired.
Continuous (sequential) read is supported with the Read SFDP command.
Figure 31. RSFDP Command Sequence
Note:
A = MSbMSb of address = 23 for CR2V[0]=0, or 31 fo r CR2V[0]=1 or command 13h.
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3 and the returning data is shifted
out on IO0-IO3.

8.2.4 Read Unique ID (RUID 4Bh)
The Read Identification (RUID) command provides read access to factory set read only 64 bit number that is unique to each device.
The RUID instruction is shifted on SI followed by four dummy bytes or 16 dummy bytes QPI (32 clock cycles). This latency period
(i.e., dummy bytes) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the
data value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance.
Then the 8 bytes of Unique ID will be shifted sequentially out on SO / IO1.
Continued shifting of output beyond the end of the defined Unique ID address space will provide undefined data. The RUID
command sequence is terminated by driving CS# to the logic high state anytime during data output.

This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3 and the returning data is shifted

8.3 Register Access Commands
8.3.1 Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1 05h)
The Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1) command allows the Status Register 1 contents to be read from SO/IO1.
The volatile version of Status Register 1 (SR1V) contents may be read at any time, even while a program, erase, or write operation
is in progress. It is possible to read Status Register 1 continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The status is updated
for each eight cycle read.
Figure 35. Read Status Register 1 (RDSR1) Command Sequence
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3 and the returning data is shifted
out on IO0-IO3.

The volatile Status Register 2 SR2V contents may be read at any time, even while a program, erase, or write operation is in
progress. It is possible to read the Status Register 2 continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The status is updated
for each eight cycle read.

8.3.3 Read Configuration Registers (RDCR1 35h) (RDCR2 15h) (RDCR3 33h)
The Read Configuration Register (RDCR1, RDCR2, RDCR3) commands allows the volatile Configuration Registers (CR1V, CR2V,
CR3V) contents to be read from SO/IO1.
It is possible to read CR1V, CR2V and CR3V continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The Configuration Registers
contents may be read at any time, even while a program, erase, or write operation is in progress.
Figure 38. Read Configuration Register (RDCR1) (RDCR2) (RDCR3) Command Sequence
In QPI mode, configuration register 1, 2 and 3 may be read via the Read Any Register command, see Section 8.3.14. Read Any
Register (RDAR 65h) on page 75.
8.3.4 Write Registers (WRR 01h)
The Write Registers (WRR) command allows new values to be written to the Status Register 1, Configuration Register 1,
Configuration Register 2 and Configuration Register 3. Before the Write Registers (WRR) command can be accepted by the device,
a Write Enable (WREN) or Write Enable for Volatile Registers (WRENV) command must be received. After the Write Enable
(WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to
enable nonvolatile write operations and direct the values in the following WRR command to the nonvolatile SR1NV, CR1NV, CR2NV
and CR3NV registers. After the Write Enable for Volatile Registers (WRENV) command has been decoded successfully, the device
directs the values in the following WRR command to the volatile SR1V, CR1V, CR2V and CRV3 registers.
The Write Registers (WRR) command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data bytes on SI/IO0. The Status Register is one
data byte in length.
A WRR operation directed to nonvolatile registers by a preceding WREN command, first erases nonvolatile registers then programs
the new value as a single operation, then copies the new nonvolatile values to the volatile version of the registers. A WRR operation
directed to volatile registers by a preceding WRENV command, updates the volatile registers without affecting the related nonvolatile
register values. The Write Registers (WRR) command will set the P_ERR or E_ERR bits if there is a failure in the WRR operation.
See Section 6.6.2. Status Register 2 Volatile (SR2V) on page 31 for a description of the error bits. The device hangs busy until clear
status register (CLSR) is used to clear the error and WIP for return to standby. Any Status or Configuration Register bit reserved for
the future must be written as a “0”.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth, sixteenth, twenty-fourth, or thirty-second bit of data has been latched. If
not, the Write Registers (WRR) command is not executed. If CS# is driven high after the:
eighth cycle then only the Status Register 1 is written
sixteenth cycle both the Status 1 and Configuration 1 Registers are written;
twenty-fourth cycle Status 1 and Configuration 1 and 2 Registers are written;
thirty-second cycle Status 1and Configuration 1, 2 and 3 Registers are written.
As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed Write Registers (WRR) operation is initiated. While the Write
Registers (WRR) operation is in progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit.
The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit is a “1” during the self-timed Write Registers (WRR) operation, and is a “0” when it is completed.
When the Write Registers (WRR) operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a “0”.
The WRR command is protected from a hardware and software reset, the hardware reset and software reset command are ignored
and have no effect on the execution of the WRR command.

Figure 39. Write Registers (WRR) Command Sequence
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction and data is shifted in on IO0-IO3.
Figure 40. Write Register (WRR) Command Sequence QPI Mode
The Write Registers (WRR) command allows the user to change the values of the Legacy Block Protection bits in either the
nonvolatile Status Register 1 or in the volatile Status Register 1, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only.
The Write Registers (WRR) command also allows the user to set the Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0) bit to a “1” or a “0”. The
Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0) bit and Write Protect (WP#) signal allow the BP bits to be hardware protected.
When the Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0 SR1V[7]) bit is a “0”, it is possible to write to the Status Register provided that the WREN
or WRENV command has previously been sent, regardless of whether Write Protect (WP#) signal is driven to the logic high or logic
low state.
When the Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0) bit is set to a “1”, two cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write
Protect (WP#):
If Write Protect (WP#) signal is driven to the logic high state, it is possible to write to the Status and Configuration Registers
provided that the WREN or WRENV command has previously been sent before the WRR command.
If Write Protect (WP#) signal is driven to the logic low state, it is not possible to write to the Status and Configuration
Registers even if the WREN or WRENV command has previously been sent before the WRR command. Attempts to write
to the Status and Configuration Registers are rejected, not accepted for execution, and no error indication is provided. As a
consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are protected by the Legacy Block Protection bits of the Status
Register, are also hardware protected by WP#.
Note: The WP# hardware protection can be provided:
by setting the Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0) bit after driving Write Protect (WP#) signal to the logic low state;
or by driving Write Protect (WP#) signal to the logic low state after setting the Status Register Protect 0 (SRP0) bit to a “1”.
The only way to release the hardware protection is to pull the Write Protect (WP#) signal to the logic high state. If WP# is
permanently tied high, hardware protection of the BP bits can never be activated.
Hardware protection is disabled when Quad Mode is enabled (CR1V[1] = 1) or QPI mode is enabled (CR2V[3] =1) because WP#
becomes IO2; therefore, it cannot be utilized.
See Section 7.5. Status Register Protect (SRP1, SRP0) on page 46 for a table showing the SRP and WP# control of Status and
Configuration protection.

8.3.5 Write Enable (WREN 06h)
The Write Enable (WREN) command sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the Status Register 1 (SR1V[1]) to a “1”. The Write
Enable Latch (WEL) bit must be set to a “1” by issuing the Write Enable (WREN) command to enable write, program and erase
commands.
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0. Without CS#
being driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0, the write enable
operation will not be executed.

This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

8.3.6 Write Disable (WRDI 04h)
The Write Disable (WRDI) command clears the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit of the Status Register 1 (SR1V[1]) to a “0”.
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit may be cleared to a “0” by issuing the Write Disable (WRDI) command to disable Page Program
(PP, 4PP, QPP, 4QPP), Sector Erase (SE), Half Block Erase (HBE), Block Erase (BE), Chip Erase (CE), Write Registers (WRR or
WRAR), Security Region Erase (SECRE), Security Region Program (SECRP), and other commands, that require WEL be set to “1”
for execution. The WRDI command can be used by the user to protect memory areas against inadvertent writes that can possibly
corrupt the contents of the memory. The WRDI command is ignored during an embedded operation while WIP bit =1.
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0. Without CS#
being driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0, the write disable
operation will not be executed.

8.3.7 Write Enable for Volatile Registers (WRENV 50h)
The volatile SR1V, CR1V, CR2V and CR3V registers described in Section 6.6. Registers on page 28, can be written by sending the
WRENV command followed by the WRR command. This gives more flexibility to change the system configuration and memory
protection schemes quickly without waiting for the typical nonvolatile bit write cycles or affecting the endurance of the status or
configuration nonvolatile register bits. The WRENV command will not set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit, WRENV is used only to
direct the following WRR command to change the volatile status and configuration register bit values.
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0. Without CS#
being driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0, the write enable
operation will not be executed.

8.3.8 Clear Status Register (CLSR 30h)
The Clear Status Register command clears the WIP (SR1V[0]), WEL (SR1V[1]), P_ERR (SR2V[5]), and E_ERR (SR2V[6]) bits to
“0”. It is not necessary to set the WEL bit before a Clear Status Register command is executed. The Clear Status Register command
will be accepted even when the device remains busy with WIP set to 1, as the device does remain busy when either error bit is set.

8.3.9 Program DLRNV (PDLRNV 43h)
Before the Program DLRNV (PDLRNV) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be
issued and decoded by the device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device will set the
Write Enable Latch (WEL) to enable the PDLRNV operation.
The PDLRNV command is entered by shifting the instruction and the data byte on SI/IO0.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth (8th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the PDLRNV command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PDLRNV operation is initiated. While the PDLRNV
operation is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In
Progress (WIP) bit is a “1” during the self-timed PDLRNV cycle, and a is 0 when it is completed. The PDLRNV operation can report
a program error in the P_ERR bit of the status register. When the PDLRNV operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is
set to a “0”. The maximum clock frequency for the PDLRNV command is 108 MHz.

8.3.11 Data Learning Pattern Read (DLPRD 41h)
The instruction 41h is shifted into SI/IO0 by the rising edge of the SCK signal followed by one dummy cycle. This latency period
allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the data value on IO0-
IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. Then the 8-bit DLP is shifted out on SO/IO1. It is possible to read the DLP
continuously by providing multiples of eight clock cycles. The maximum operating clock frequency for the DLPRD command is
108MHz.
Figure 53. DLP Read (DLPRD) Command Sequence
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in and returning data out on IO0-IO3.

8.3.12 Enter 4 Byte Address Mode (4BEN B7h)
The enter 4 Byte Address Mode (4BEN) command sets the volatile Address Length status (ADS) bit (CR2V[0]) to 1 to change all
3 Byte address commands to require 4 Bytes of address. This command will not affect 4 Byte only commands which will still
continue to expect 4 Bytes of address.
To return to 3 Byte Address mode the 4BEX command clears the volatile Address Length bit CR2V[0]=0). The WRAR command can
also clear the volatile Address Length bit CR2V[0]=0). Also, a hardware or software reset may be used to return to the 3 byte
address mode if the nonvolatile Address Length bit CR2NV[1] = 0.

8.3.14 Read Any Register (RDAR 65h)
The Read Any Register (RDAR) command provides a way to read device registers. The instruction is followed by a 3 or 4 Byte
address (depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0]), followed by a number of latency (dummy) cycles set by
CR3V[3:0]. Then the selected register contents are returned. If the read access is continued the same addressed register contents
are returned until the command is terminated - only one register is read by each RDAR command.
Reading undefined locations provides undefined data.
The RDAR command may be used during embedded operations to read Status Register 1 (SR1V).
The RDAR command is not used for reading registers that act as a window into a larger array: IBLAR. There are separate
commands required to select and read the location in the array accessed.
The RDAR command will read invalid data from the PASS register locations if the IRP Password protection mode is selected by
programming IRP[2] to 0.

8.3.15 Write Any Register (WRAR 71h)
The Write Any Register (WRAR) command provides a way to write any device register - nonvolatile or volatile. The instruction is
followed by a 3 or 4 Byte address (depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0]), followed by one byte of data to write in
the address selected register.
Before the WRAR command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the
device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations. The WIP bit in SR1V may be
checked to determine when the operation is completed. The P_ERR and E_ERR bits in SR2V may be checked to determine if any
error occurred during the operation.
Some registers have a mixture of bit types and individual rules controlling which bits may be modified. Some bits are read only,
some are OTP.
Read only bits are never modified and the related bits in the WRAR command data byte are ignored without setting a program or
erase error indication (P_ERR or E_ERR in SR2V). Hence, the value of these bits in the WRAR data byte do not matter.
OTP bits may only be programmed to the level opposite of their default state. Writing of OTP bits back to their default state is
ignored and no error is set.
Nonvolatile bits which are changed by the WRAR data, require nonvolatile register write time (tW) to be updated. The update
process involves an erase and a program operation on the nonvolatile register bits. If either the erase or program portion of the
update fails the related error bit in SR2V and WIP in SR1V will be set to 1.
Volatile bits which are changed by the WRAR data, require the volatile register write time (tCS) to be updated.
Status Register 1 may be repeatedly read (polled) to monitor the Write-In-Progress (WIP) bit (SR1V[0]) to determine when the
register write is completed and Status Register 1 for the error bits (SR2V[6,5]) to determine if there is write failure. If there is a write
failure, the clear status command is used to clear the error status and enable the device to return to standby state. When the WRAR
operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a “0”
However, the PR register can not be written by the WRAR command. The PR register contents are treated as read only bits. Only
the NVLOCK Bit Write (PRL) command can write the PR register.
The WRAR command to write the SR1NV, CR1NV CR2NV and CR3NV is protected from a hardware and software reset, the WRAR
command to all other register are reset from a hardware or software reset.
The WRAR command sequence and behavior is the same as the PP or 4PP command with only a single byte of data provided. See
Section 8.5.2. Page Program (PP 02h or 4PP 12H) on page 89.
The address map of the registers is the same as shown for Table 33, Register Address Map on page 76.

8.3.16 Set Burst Length (SBL 77h)
The Set Burst Length (SBL) command is used to configure the Burst Wrap feature. Burst Wrap is used in conjunction with Quad I/O
Read and DDR Quad I/O Read, in QIO or QPI modes, to access a fixed length and alignment of data. Certain applications can
benefit from this feature by improving the overall system code execution performance. The Burst Wrap feature allows applications
that use cache, to start filling a cache line with instruction or data from a critical address first, then fill the remainder of the cache line
afterwards within a fixed length (8/16/32/64-bytes) of data, without issuing multiple read commands.
The Set Burst Length command is initiated by driving the CS# pin low and then shifting the instruction code “77h” followed by 24
dummy bits and 8 “Wrap Length Bits (WL[7]-WL[0])”. The command sequence is shown in Figure 61, Set Burst Length Command
Sequence Quad I/O Mode on page 79 and Figure 62, Set Burst Length Command Sequence QPI Mode on page 79. Wrap Length
bit WL[7] and the lower nibble WL[3:0] are not used. See Configuration Register 3 (CR3V[6:4]) for the encoding of WL[6]-WL[4] in
Section 6.6.5. Configuration Register 3 on page 36.
Once WL[6:4] is set by a Set Burst Length command, all the following “Quad I/O Read” commands will use the WL[6:4] setting to
access the 8/16/32/64-byte section of data. Note, Configuration Register 1 Quad bit CR1V[1] or Configuration Register 2 QPI bit
CR2V[3] must be set to 1 in order to use the Quad I/O read and Set Burst Length commands. To exit the “Wrap Around” function and
return to normal read operation, another Set Burst with Wrap command should be issued to set WL4 = 1. The default value of
WL[6:4] upon power on, hardware or software reset as set in the CR2NV[6:4]. Use WRR or WRAR command to set the default wrap
length in CR2NV[6;4].
The Set Burst Length (SBL) command writes only to CR3V[6:4] bits to enable or disable the wrapped read feature and set the wrap
boundary. The SBL command cannot be used to set the read latency in CR3V[3:0]. The WRAR command must be used to set the
read latency in CR3V or CR3NV.
See Table 34, Example Burst Wrap Sequences on page 78 for CR3V[6:5] values for wrap boundary's and start address. When
enabled the wrapped read feature changes the related read commands from sequentially reading until the command ends, to
reading sequentially wrapped within a group of bytes.
When the wrap mode is not enabled (Table 6.15 and Table 18), an unlimited length sequential read is performed.
When the wrap mode is enabled (Table 6.15 and Table 18) a fixed length and aligned group of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bytes is read starting
at the byte address provided by the read command and wrapping around at the group alignment boundary.
The group of bytes is of length and aligned on an 8, 16, 32, or 64 byte boundary. CR3V[6:5] selects the boundary. See
Section 6.6.5.2. Configuration Register 3 Volatile (CR3V) on page 40.
The starting address of the read command selects the group of bytes and the first data returned is the addressed byte. Bytes are
then read sequentially until the end of the group boundary is reached. If the read continues the address wraps to the beginning of the
group and continues to read sequentially. This wrapped read sequence continues until the command is ended by CS# returning
high.

The enter QPI Mode (QPIEN) command enables the QPI mode by setting the volatile QPI bit (CR2V[3]=1). See Table 14,
Configuration Register 2 Volatile (CR2V) on page 35. The time required to enter QPI Mode is tQEN, see Table 53, SDR AC
Characteristics on page 134, no other commands are allowed during the tQEN transition time to QPI mode.
To return to SPI mode the QPIEX command or a write to register (CR2V[3]=0) is required. A power on reset, hardware, or software
reset will also return the part to SPI mode if the Nonvolatile QPI (CR2NV[3]=0). See Table 12, Configuration Register 2 Nonvolatile

8.4 Read Memory Array Commands
Read commands for the main Flash array provide many options for prior generation SPI compatibility or enhanced performance SPI:
Some commands transfer address or data on each rising edge of SCK. These are called Single Data Rate commands
(SDR).
Some SDR commands transfer address one bit per falling edge of SCK and return data 1bit of data per rising edge of SCK.
These are called Single width commands.
Some SDR commands transfer both address and data 2 or 4 bits per rising edge of SCK. These are called Dual I/O for 2
bit, Quad I/O, and QPI for 4 bit. QPI also transfers instructions 4 bits per rising edge.
Some commands transfer address and data on both the rising edge and falling edge of SCK. These are called Double Data
Rate (DDR) commands.
There are DDR commands for 4 bits of address or data per SCK edge. These are called Quad I/O DDR and QPI DDR for 4
bit per edge transfer.
All of these commands, except QPI Read, begin with an instruction code that is transferred one bit per SCK rising edge. QPI Read
transfers the instruction 4 bits per SCK rising edge.The instruction is followed by either a 3 or 4 byte address transferred at SDR or
DDR. Commands transferring address or data 2 or 4 bits per clock edge are called Multiple I/O (MIO) commands. For FL-L family
devices at 256Mb or higher density, the traditional SPI 3 byte addresses are unable to directly address all locations in the memory
array. Separate 4 Byte address read commands are provided for access to the entire address space. These devices may be
configured to take a 4 byte address from the host system with the traditional 3 byte address commands. The 4 byte address mode
for traditional commands is activated by setting the Address Length bit in configuration register 2 to “1”. In the S25FL128L higher
order address bits above A22 in the 4 byte address commands, or commands using 4 Byte Address mode are not relevant and are
ignored because the Flash array is only 64Mb in size.
The Dual I/O, Quad I/O and QPI commands provide a performance improvement option controlled by mode bits that are sent
following the address bits. The mode bits indicate whether the command following the end of the current read will be another read of
the same type, without an instruction at the beginning of the read. These mode bits give the option to eliminate the instruction cycles
when doing a series of Dual or Quad read accesses.
Some commands require delay cycles following the address or mode bits to allow time to access the memory array - read latency.
The delay or read latency cycles are traditionally called dummy cycles. The dummy cycles are ignored by the memory thus any data
provided by the host during these cycles is “don’t care” and the host may also leave the SI signal at high impedance during the
dummy cycles. When MIO commands are used the host must stop driving the IO signals (outputs are high impedance) before the
end of last dummy cycle. When DDR commands are used the host must not drive the I/O signals during any dummy cycle. The
number of dummy cycles varies with the SCK frequency or performance option selected via the Configuration Register 2
(CR3V[3:0]) Latency Code. Dummy cycles are measured from SCK falling edge to next SCK falling edge. SPI outputs are
traditionally driven to a new value on the falling edge of each SCK. Zero dummy cycles means the returning data is driven by the
memory on the same falling edge of SCK that the host stops driving address or mode bits.

The DDR commands may optionally have an 8 edge Data Learning Pattern (DLP) driven by the memory, on all data outputs, in the
dummy cycles immediately before the start of data. The DLP can help the host memory controller determine the phase shift from
SCK to data edges so that the memory controller can capture data at the center of the data eye.
When using SDR I/O commands at higher SCK frequencies (>50 MHz), an LC that provides 1 or more dummy cycles should be
selected to allow additional time for the host to stop driving before the memory starts driving data, to minimize I/O driver conflict.
When using DDR I/O commands with the DLP enabled, an LC that provides 5 or more dummy cycles should be selected to allow 1
cycle of additional time for the host to stop driving before the memory starts driving the 4 cycle DLP.
Each read command ends when CS# is returned High at any point during data return. CS# must not be returned High during the
mode or dummy cycles before data returns as this may cause mode bits to be captured incorrectly; making it indeterminate as to
whether the device remains in continuous read mode.
8.4.1 Read (Read 03h or 4READ 13h)
The instruction
03h (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
03h (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
13h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
Then the memory contents, at the address given, are shifted out on SO/IO1.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.

The address is followed by dummy cycles depending on the latency code set in the Configuration Register CR3V[3:0]. The dummy
cycles allow the device internal circuits additional time for accessing the initial address location. During the dummy cycles the data
value on SO/IO1 is “don’t care” and may be high impedance. Then the memory contents, at the address given, are shifted out on
SO/IO1.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address

The address is followed by dummy cycles depending on the latency code set in the Configuration Register CR3V[3:0]. The dummy
cycles allow the device internal circuits additional time for accessing the initial address location. During the dummy cycles the data
value on IO0 (SI) and IO1 (S0) is “don’t care” and may be high impedance.
Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out two bits at a time through IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO). Two bits are shifted
out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
For Dual Output Read commands, there are dummy cycles required after the last address bit is shifted into IO0 (SI) before data
begins shifting out of IO0 and IO1.

8.4.4 Quad Output Read (QOR 6Bh or 4QOR 6Ch)
The instruction
6Bh (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
6Bh (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
6Ch is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The address is followed by dummy cycles depending on the latency code set in the Configuration Register CR3V[3:0]. The dummy
cycles allow the device internal circuits additional time for accessing the initial address location. During the dummy cycles the data
value on IO0 - IO3 is “don’t care” and may be high impedance.
Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out four bits at a time through IO0 - IO3. Each nibble (4 bits) is shifted out
at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
For Quad Output Read commands, there are dummy cycles required after the last address bit is shifted into IO0 before data begins
shifting out of IO0 - IO3.

8.4.5 Dual I/O Read (DIOR BBh or 4DIOR BCh)
The instruction
BBh (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
BBh (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
BCh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The Dual I/O Read commands improve throughput with two I/O signals — IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO). This command takes input of the
address and returns read data two bits per SCK rising edge. In some applications, the reduced address input and data output time
might allow for code execution in place (XIP) i.e. directly from the memory device.
The Dual I/O Read command has continuous read mode bits that follow the address so, a series of Dual I/O Read commands may
eliminate the 8 bit instruction after the first Dual I/O Read command sends a mode bit pattern of Axh that indicates the following
command will also be a Dual I/O Read command. The first Dual I/O Read command in a series starts with the 8 bit instruction,
followed by address, followed by four cycles of mode bits, followed by an optional latency period. If the mode bit pattern is Axh the
next command is assumed to be an additional Dual I/O Read command that does not provide instruction bits. That command starts
with address, followed by mode bits, followed by optional latency.
Variable latency may be added after the mode bits are shifted into SI and SO before data begins shifting out of IO0 and IO1. This
latency period (dummy cycles) allows the device internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During the
dummy cycles, the data value on SI and SO are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy cycles is
determined by the frequency of SCK. The latency is configured in CR3V[3:0].

The continuous read feature removes the need for the instruction bits in a sequence of read accesses and greatly improves code
execution (XIP) performance. The upper nibble (bits 7-4) of the Mode bits control the length of the next Dual I/O Read command
through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble (bits 3-0) of the Mode bits are “don’t care” (“x”)
and may be high impedance. If the Mode bits equal Axh, then the device remains in Dual I/O Continuous Read Mode and the next
address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low) without the BBh or BCh instruction, as shown in Figure 70;
thus, eliminating eight cycles of the command sequence. The following sequences will release the device from Dual I/O Continuous
Read mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:
1. During the Dual I/O continuous read command sequence, if the Mode bits are any value other than Axh, then the next
time CS# is raised high the device will be released from Dual I/O continuous read mode.
2. Send the Mode Reset command.
Note that the four mode bit cycles are part of the device’s internal circuitry latency time to access the initial address after the last
address cycle that is clocked into IO0 (SI) and IO1 (SO).
It is important that the I/O signals be set to high-impedance at or before the falling edge of the first data out clock. At higher clock
speeds the time available to turn off the host outputs before the memory device begins to drive (bus turn around) is diminished. It is
allowed and may be helpful in preventing I/O signal contention, for the host system to turn off the I/O signal outputs (make them high
impedance) during the last two “don’t care” mode cycles or during any dummy cycles.
Following the latency period the memory content, at the address given, is shifted out two bits at a time through IO0 (SI) and IO1
(SO). Two bits are shifted out at the SCK frequency at the falling edge of SCK signal.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.

around time between Mode bits from host and returning data from the memory.

8.4.6 Quad I/O Read (QIOR EBh or 4QIOR ECh)
The instruction,
EBh (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
EBh (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
ECh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The Quad I/O Read command improves throughput with four I/O signals IO0-IO3. It allows input of the address bits four bits per
serial SCK clock. In some applications, the reduced instruction overhead might allow for code execution (XIP) directly from FL-L
family devices. The QUAD bit of the Configuration Register 1 must be set (CR1V[1]=1) or the QPI bit of Configuration Register 2
must be set (CR2V[1]=1 to enable the Quad capability of FL-L family devices.
For the Quad I/O Read command, there is a latency required after the mode bits (described below) before data begins shifting out of
IO0-IO3. This latency period (i.e., dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial
address. During latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. The number of dummy
cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK. The latency is configured in CR3V[3:0].
Following the latency period, the memory contents at the address given, is shifted out four bits at a time through IO0-IO3. Each
nibble (4 bits) is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
Address jumps can be done without the need for additional Quad I/O Read instructions. This is controlled through the setting of the
Mode bits (after the address sequence, as shown in Figure 71 on page 86. This added feature removes the need for the instruction
sequence and greatly improves code execution (XIP). The upper nibble (bits 7-4) of the Mode bits control the length of the next
Quad I/O instruction through the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble (bits 3-0) of the Mode bits
are “don’t care” (“x”). If the Mode bits equal Axh, then the device remains in Quad I/O High Performance Read Mode and the next
address can be entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low) without requiring the EBh or ECh instruction, as shown in
Figure 73 on page 86; thus, eliminating eight cycles for the command sequence. The following sequences will release the device
from Quad I/O High Performance Read mode; after which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:
1. During the Quad I/O Read Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are any value other than Axh, then the next time CS# is
raised high the device will be released from Quad I/O High Performance Read mode.
2. Send the Mode Reset command.
Note that the two mode bit clock cycles and additional wait states (i.e., dummy cycles) allow the device’s internal circuitry latency
time to access the initial address after the last address cycle that is clocked into IO0-IO3.
It is important that the IO0-IO3 signals be set to high-impedance at or before the falling edge of the first data out clock. At higher
clock speeds the time available to turn off the host outputs before the memory device begins to drive (bus turn around) is diminished.
It is allowed and may be helpful in preventing IO0-IO3 signal contention, for the host system to turn off the IO0-IO3 signal outputs
(make them high impedance) during the last “don’t care” mode cycle or during any dummy cycles.
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate.
In QPI mode (CR2V[3]=1) the Quad I/O instructions are sent 4 bits per SCK rising edge. The remainder of the command protocol is
identical to the Quad I/O commands.

8.4.7 DDR Quad I/O Read (EDh, EEh)
The DDR Quad I/O Read command improves throughput with four I/O signals IO0-IO3. It is similar to the Quad I/O Read command
but allows input of the address four bits on every edge of the clock. In some applications, the reduced instruction overhead might
allow for code execution (XIP) directly from FL-L Family devices. The QUAD bit of the Configuration Register 1 must be set
(CR1V[1]=1) or the QPI bit of Configuration Register 2 must be set (CR2V[1]=1 to enable the Quad capability of FL-L family devices.
The instruction
EDh (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
EDh (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
EEh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
The address is followed by mode bits. Then the memory contents, at the address given, is shifted out, in a DDR fashion, with four
bits at a time on each clock edge through IO0-IO3.
The maximum operating clock frequency for DDR Quad I/O Read command is 54 MHz.
For DDR Quad I/O Read, there is a latency required after the last address and mode bits are shifted into the IO0-IO3 signals before
data begins shifting out of IO0-IO3. This latency period (dummy cycles) allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access
the initial address. During these latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance. When the
Data Learning Pattern (DLP) is enabled the host system must not drive the IO signals during the dummy cycles. The IO signals must
be left high impedance by the host so that the memory device can drive the DLP during the dummy cycles.
The number of dummy cycles is determined by the frequency of SCK. The latency is configured in CR3V[3:0].
Mode bits allow a series of Quad I/O DDR commands to eliminate the 8 bit instruction after the first command sends a
complementary mode bit pattern. This feature removes the need for the eight bit SDR instruction sequence and dramatically reduces
initial access times (improves XIP performance). The Mode bits control the length of the next DDR Quad I/O Read operation through
the inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. If the upper nibble (IO[7:4]) and lower nibble (IO[3:0]) of the Mode bits are
complementary (i.e. 5h and Ah) the device transitions to Continuous DDR Quad I/O Read Mode and the next address can be
entered (after CS# is raised high and then asserted low) without requiring the EDh or EEh instruction, thus eliminating eight cycles
from the command sequence. The following sequences will release the device from Continuous DDR Quad I/O Read mode; after
which, the device can accept standard SPI commands:
1. During the DDR Quad I/O Read Command Sequence, if the Mode bits are not complementary the next time CS# is raised
high and then asserted low the device will be released from DDR Quad I/O Read mode.
2. Send the Mode Reset command.
The address can start at any byte location of the memory array. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address
in sequential order after each byte of data is shifted out. The entire memory can therefore be read out with one single read
instruction and address 000000h provided. When the highest address is reached, the address counter will wrap around and roll back
to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely.
CS# should not be driven high during mode or dummy bits as this may make the mode bits indeterminate. Note that the memory
devices may drive the IOs with a preamble prior to the first data value. The preamble is a Data Learning Pattern (DLP) that is used
by the host controller to optimize data capture at higher frequencies. The preamble drives the IO bus for the four clock cycles
immediately before data is output. The host must be sure to stop driving the IO bus prior to the time that the memory starts
outputting the preamble.
The preamble is intended to give the host controller an indication about the round trip time from when the host drives a clock edge to
when the corresponding data value returns from the memory device. The host controller will skew the data capture point during the
preamble period to optimize timing margins and then use the same skew time to capture the data during the rest of the read
operation. The optimized capture point will be determined during the preamble period of every read operation. This optimization
strategy is intended to compensate for both the PVT (process, voltage, temperature) of both the memory device and the host
controller as well as any system level delays caused by flight time on the PCB.

Although the data learning pattern (DLP) is programmable, the following example shows example of the DLP of 34h. The DLP 34h
(or 00110100) will be driven on each of the active outputs (i.e. all four IOs). This pattern was chosen to cover both “DC” and “AC”
data transition scenarios. The two DC transition scenarios include data low for a long period of time (two half clocks) followed by a
high going transition (001) and the complementary low going transition (110). The two AC transition scenarios include data low for a
short period of time (one half clock) followed by a high going transition (101) and the complementary low going transition (010). The
DC transitions will typically occur with a starting point closer to the supply rail than the AC transitions that may not have fully settled
to their steady state (DC) levels. In many cases the DC transitions will bound the beginning of the data valid period and the AC
transitions will bound the ending of the data valid period. These transitions will allow the host controller to identify the beginning and
ending of the valid data eye. Once the data eye has been characterized the optimal data capture point can be chosen. See
Section 6.6.11. DDR Data Learning Registers on page 44 for more details.
In QPI mode (CR2V[3]=1) the DDR Quad I/O instructions are sent 4 bits at SCK rising edge. The remainder of the command
protocol is identical to the DDR Quad I/O commands.

8.5 Program Flash Array Commands
8.5.1 Program Granularity
8.5.1.1 Page Programming
Page Programming is done by loading a Page Buffer with data to be programmed and issuing a programming command to move
data from the buffer to the memory array. This sets an upper limit on the amount of data that can be programmed with a single
programming command. Page Programming allows up to a page size 256bytes to be programmed in one operation. The page is
aligned on the page size address boundary. It is possible to program from one bit up to a page size in each Page programming
operation. For the very best performance, programming should be done in full pages of 256bytes aligned on 256byte boundaries
with each Page being programmed only once.
8.5.1.2 Single Byte Programming
Single Byte Programming allows full backward compatibility to the legacy standard SPI Page Programming (PP) command by
allowing a single byte to be programmed anywhere in the memory array.
8.5.2 Page Program (PP 02h or 4PP 12H)
The Page Program (PP) command allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0). Before the Page
Program (PP) commands can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the
device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded successfully, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in
the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The instruction
02h (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
02h (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
12h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
and at least one data byte on SI/IO0. Up to a page can be provided on SI/IO0 after the 3-byte address with instruction 02h or 4-byte
address with instruction 12h has been provided. As with the write and erase commands, 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 command will not be executed. After CS# is driven
high, the self-timed Page Program command will commence for a time duration of tPP.
Using the Page Program (PP) command to load an entire page, within the page boundary, will save overall programming time
versus loading less than a page into the program buffer.
The programming process is managed by the Flash memory device internal control logic. After a programming command is issued,
the programming operation status can be checked using the Read Status Register 1 command. The WIP bit (SR1V[0]) will indicate
when the programming operation is completed. The P_ERR bit (SR2V[5]) will indicate if an error occurs in the programming
operation that prevents successful completion of programming. This includes attempted programming of a protected area.
Figure 77. Page Program (PP 02h or 4PP 12h) Command Sequence
Note:
1. A = MSb of address = A23 for PP 02h with CR2V[0]=0, or A31 for PP 02h with CR2V[0]=1, or for 4PP 12h.
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction, address and data is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

Note:
1. A = MSb of address = A23 for PP 02h with CR2V[0]=0, or A31 for PP 02h with CR2V[0]=1, or for 4PP 12h.
8.5.3 Quad Page Program (QPP 32h or 4QPP 34h)
The Quad-input Page Program (QPP) command allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0). The
Quad-input Page Program (QPP) command allows up to a page of data to be loaded into the Page Buffer using four signals: IO0-
IO3. QPP can improve performance for PROM Programmer and applications that have slower clock speeds (< 12 MHz) by loading 4
bits of data per clock cycle. Systems with faster clock speeds do not realize as much benefit for the QPP command since the
inherent page program time becomes greater than the time it takes to clock-in the data. The maximum frequency for the QPP
command is 108MHz.
To use Quad Page Program the Quad Enable Bit in the Configuration Register must be set (QUAD=1). A Write Enable command
must be executed before the device will accept the QPP command (Status Register 1, WEL=1).
The instruction
32h (CR2V[0]=0) is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) or
32h (CR2V[0]=1) is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0) or
34h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
and at least one data byte, into the IO signals. Data must be programmed at previously erased (FFh) memory locations.
All other functions of QPP are identical to Page Program. The QPP command sequence is shown in the figure below.

8.6 Erase Flash Array Commands
8.6.1 Sector Erase (SE 20h or 4SE 21h)
The Sector Erase (SE) command sets all bits in the addressed sector to 1 (all bytes are FFh). Before the Sector Erase (SE)
command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The instruction
20h [CR2V[0]=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or
20h [CR2V[0]=1] is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0), or
21h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the twenty-fourth or thirty-second bit of the address has been latched in on SI/IO0.
This will initiate the beginning of internal erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of the chosen sector of the
flash memory array. If CS# is not driven high after the last bit of address, the sector erase operation will not be executed.
As soon as CS# is driven high, the internal erase cycle will be initiated. With the internal erase cycle in progress, the user can read
the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to determine when the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate a “1”.
when the erase cycle is in progress and a “0” when the erase cycle has been completed.
A SE or 4SE command applied to a sector that has been write protected through the Legacy Block Protection, Individual Block Lock
or Pointer Region Protection will not be executed and will set the E_ERR status.

Note:
1. A = MSb of address = A23 for SE 20h with CR2V[0]=0, or A31 for SE 20h with CR2V[0]=1 or for 4SE 21h.
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction and address is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

8.6.2 Half Block Erase (HBE 52h or 4HBE 53h)
The Half Block Erase (HBE) command sets all bits in the addressed half block to 1 (all bytes are FFh). Before the Half Block Erase
(HBE) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device,
which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The instruction
52h [CR2V[0]=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or
52h [CR2V[0]=1] is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0), or
53h is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the twenty-fourth or thirty-second bit of address has been latched in on SI/IO0. This
will initiate the erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of each sector of the chose block. If CS# is not driven
high after the last bit of address, the half block erase operation will not be executed.
As soon as CS# is driven into the logic high state, the internal erase cycle will be initiated. With the internal erase cycle in progress,
the user can read the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to check if the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate
a “1” when the erase cycle is in progress and a “0” when the erase cycle has been completed.
A Half Block Erase (HBE) command applied to a Block that has been Write Protected through the Legacy Block Protection,
Individual Block Lock or Pointer Region Protection will not be executed and will set the E_ERR status.
If a half block erase command is applied and if any region, sector or block in the half block erase area is protected the erase will not
be executed on the 32 KB range and will set the E_ERR status.
Figure 82. Half Block Erase (HBE 52h or 4HBE 53h) Command Sequence

1. A = MSb of address = A23 for HBE 52h with CR2V[0]=0, or A31 for HBE 52h with CR2V[0]=1 or 4HBE 53h.
2. When A[15]=0 the sectors 0-7 of Block are erased and A[15]=1 then sectors 8-15 of Block are erased.
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction and address is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

8.6.3 Block Erase (BE D8h or 4BE DCh)
The Block Erase (BE) command sets all bits in the addressed block to 1 (all bytes are FFh). Before the Block Erase (BE) command
can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
The instruction
D8h [CR2V[0]=0] is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), or
D8h [CR2V[0]=1] is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0), or
DCh is followed by a 4-byte address (A31-A0)
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the twenty-fourth or thirty-second bit of address has been latched in on SI/IO0. This
will initiate the erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of each sector of the chosen block. If CS# is not driven
high after the last bit of address, the block erase operation will not be executed.
As soon as CS# is driven into the logic high state, the internal erase cycle will be initiated. With the internal erase cycle in progress,
the user can read the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to check if the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate
a “1” when the erase cycle is in progress and a “0” when the erase cycle has been completed.
A Block Erase (BE) command applied to a Block that has been Write Protected through the Legacy Block Protection, Individual
Block Lock or Pointer Region Protection will not be executed and will set the E_ERR status.
If a block erase command is applied and if any region or sector area is protected the erase will not be executed on the 64 KB range
and will set the E_ERR status.

8.6.4 Chip Erase (CE 60h or C7h)
The Chip Erase (CE) command sets all bits to 1 (all bytes are FFh) inside the entire flash memory array. Before the CE command
can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations.
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI/IO0. This will initiate
the erase cycle, which involves the pre-programming and erase of the entire flash memory array. If CS# is not driven high after the
last bit of instruction, the CE operation will not be executed.
As soon as CS# is driven into the logic high state, the erase cycle will be initiated. With the erase cycle in progress, the user can
read the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to determine when the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate a
“1” when the erase cycle is in progress and a “0” when the erase cycle has been completed.
A CE command will not be executed when the Legacy Block Protection, Individual Block Lock or Pointer Region Protection set to
protect any sector or block and this will set the E_ERR status bit.

This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

8.6.5 Program or Erase Suspend (PES 75h)
The PES command allows the system to interrupt a programming or erase operation and then read from any other non-erase-
suspended sector or non-program-suspended-page. Program or Erase Suspend is valid only during a programming or sector erase,
half block erase or block erase operation. A Chip Erase operation cannot be suspended.
The Write in Progress (WIP) bit in Status Register 1 (SR1V[0]) must be checked to know when the programming or erase operation
has stopped. The Program Suspend Status bit in the Status Register 1 (SR2[0]) can be used to determine if a programming
operation has been suspended or was completed at the time WIP changes to 0. The Erase Suspend Status bit in the Status Register
1 (SR2[1]) can be used to determine if an erase operation has been suspended or was completed at the time WIP changes to 0. The
time required for the suspend operation to complete is tSL, see Table 56, Program or Erase Suspend AC Parameters on page 139.
An Erase can be suspended to allow a program operation or a read operation. During an erase suspend, the IBL array may be read
to examine sector protection and written to remove or restore protection on a sector to be programmed. The protection bits will not
be rechecked when the operation is resumed so any changes made will not impact current in progress operation.
A program operation may be suspended to allow a read operation.
A new suspend operation is not allowed with-in an already suspended erase or program operation. The suspend command is
ignored in this situation.

Table 35. Commands Allowed During Program or Erase Suspend
Note:
1. For all Quad commands the Quad Enable CR1V[1] bit (SeeTable 11 on page 33) needs to be set to “1” before initial program or erase, since the WRR/WRAR
commands are not allowed inside of the suspen d stat e.
All command not included in Table 35, Commands Allowed During Program or Erase Suspend on page95 are not allowed during
Erase or Program Suspend. The WRR, WRAR, or SPRP commands are not allowed during Erase or Program Suspend, it is
therefore not possible to alter the Legacy Block Protection bits or Pointer Region Protection during Erase Suspend.
Reading at any address within an erase-suspended sector or program-suspended page produces undetermined data.

After an erase-suspended program operation is complete, the device returns to the erase-suspend mode. The system can
determine the status of the program operation by reading the WIP bit in the Status Register, just as in the standard program
operation.

This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

8.6.6 Erase or Program Resume (EPR 7Ah)
After program or read operations are completed during a program or erase suspend the Erase or Program Resume command is
sent to continue the suspended operation.
After an Erase or Program Resume command is issued, the WIP bit in the Status Register 1 will be set to a 1 and the suspended
operation will resume if one is suspended. If there is no suspended program or erase operation the resume command is ignored.
Program or erase operations may be interrupted as often as necessary e.g. a program suspend command could immediately follow
a program resume command but, but in order for a program or erase operation to progress to completion there must be some
periods of time between resume and the next suspend command greater than or equal to tRNS. See Table 56, Program or Erase
Suspend AC Parameters on page 139.
The Program Suspend Status bit in the Status Register 1 (SR2[0]) can be used to determine if a programming operation has been
suspended or was completed at the time WIP changes to 0. The Erase Suspend Status bit in the Status Register 1 (SR2[1]) can be
used to determine if an erase operation has been suspended or was completed at the time WIP changes to 0. See Section 6.6.2.

8.7 Security Regions Array Commands
The Security Regions commands select which region to use by address A15 to A8 as shown below.
Security Region 0: A23-16 = 00h; A15-8 = 00h; A7-0 = byte address
Security Region 1: A23-16 = 00h; A15-8 = 01h; A7-0 = byte address
Security Region 2: A23-16 = 00h; A15-8 = 02h; A7-0 = byte address
Security Region 3: A23-16 = 00h; A15-8 = 03h; A7-0 = byte address
8.7.1 Security Region Erase (SECRE 44h)
The Security Region Erase command erases data in the Security Region, which is in a different address space from the main array
data. The Security Region is 1024 bytes so, the address bits forS25FL064L (A22 to A10) must be zero for this command. Each
region can be individually erased. Refer to Section 6.5. Security Regions Address Space on page 28 for details on the Security
Region.
Before the Security Region Erase command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued and
decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations. The WIP bit
in SR1V may be checked to determine when the operation is completed. The E_ERR bit in SR2V may be checked to determine if
any error occurred during the operation.
The Security Region Lock Bits (CR1NV[2-5]) in the Configuration Register 1 can be used to protect the Security Regions for erase.
Once a lock bit is set to 1, the corresponding Security Region will be permanently locked, Attempting to erase a region that is locked
will fail with the E_ERR bit in SR2V[6] set to “1”.
When the Protection Register NVLOCK Bit = “0”, Security Regions 2 and 3 are protected from program or erase. Attempting to erase
in a region that locked will fail with the E_ERR bits in SR2V[6] set to “1”. See Section 7.7.2.1. NVLOCK Bit (PR[0]) on page 56.
The Password Protection Mode Lock Bit (IRP[2]) allows regions 2 and 3 to be protected from erase operations until the correct
password is provided to enable erasing of these Security Regions. Attempting to erase in a region that is password locked will fail
with the E_ERR bit in SR2V[6] set to “1”. Security Region Read Password Protection on page 57
The protocol of the Security Region Erase command is the same as the Sector Erase command. See Section 8.6.1. Sector Erase
(SE 20h or 4SE 21h) on page 91 for the command sequence. QPI Mode is supported.

8.7.2 Security Region Program (SECRP 42h)
The Security Region Program command programs data in the Security Region, which is in a different address space from the main
array data. The Security Region is 1024 bytes so, the address bits forS25FL064L (A22 to A10) must be zero for this command.
Refer to Section 6.5. Security Regions Address Space on page 28 for details on the Security Region.
Before the Security Region Program command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued
and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to enable any write operations. The WIP
bit in SR1V may be checked to determine when the operation is completed. The P_ERR bit in SR2V may be checked to determine if
any error occurred during the operation.
To program the Security Region array in bit granularity, the rest of the bits within a data byte can be set to “1”.
Each region in the Security Region memory space can be programmed one or more times, provided that the region is not locked.
However, for the best data integrity, it is recommended that one or more 16 byte length and aligned groups of bytes be programed
together and programmed only once between erase operations within each region.
The Security Region Lock Bits (CR1NV[2-5]) in the Configuration Register 1 can be used to protect the Security Regions for
Programming. Once a lock bit is set to 1, the corresponding Security Region will be permanently locked. Attempting to program
zeros or ones in a region that is locked (protected) will fail with the P_ERR bit in SR2V[5] set to “1”. Programming ones in a un-
protected area does not cause an error and does not set P_ERR. (see Configuration Register 1 on page 32 for detail descriptions).
When the Protection Register NVLOCK Bit = “0”, Security Regions 2 and 3 are protected from program or erase. Attempting to
program in a region that locked will fail with the P_ERR bit in SR2V[5] set to “1”. See Section 7.7.2.1. NVLOCK Bit (PR[0])
on page 56.
The Password Protection Mode Lock Bit (IRP[2]) allows regions 2 and 3 to be protected from programming operations until the
correct password is provided to enable programming of these Security Regions 2 and 3. Attempting to program in a region that is
password locked will fail with the P_ERR bit in SR2V[5] set to “1”. See Password Protection Mode on page 56.
The protocol of the Security Region Program command is the same as the Page Program command. See Section 8.5.1.1. Page
Programming on page 89 for the command sequence. QPI Mode is supported.
8.7.3 Security Regions Read (SECRR 48h)
The Security Region Read (SECRR) command provides a way to read data from the Security Regions. The Security Region is 1024
bytes so, the address bits forS25FL064L (A22 to A10) must be zero for this command. Refer to Section 6.5. Security Regions
Address Space on page 28 for details on the Security Regions.
The instruction is followed by a 3 or 4 Byte address (depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0], followed by a number
of latency (dummy) cycles set by CR3V[3:0]. Then the selected register data are returned. The protocol of the Security Region Read
command will not wrap to the starting address after the Security Region address is at its maximum; instead, the data beyond the
maximum address will be undefined. The Security Region Read command read latency is set by the latency value in CR3V[3:0].
The Security Region Read Password Mode Enable Bit (IRP[6]) allows regions 3 to be protected from read operations until the
correct password is provided to enable reading of this Security Region. Attempting to read in region 3 that is password locked will
return invalid and undefined data. See Security Region Read Password Protection on page 57

8.8 Individual Block Lock Commands
In order to use Individual Block Lock, the IBL protection scheme must be selected by the WPS bit in Configuration Register 2
CR2V[2]=1. If if IBL protection scheme is not selected CR2V[2]=0 the IBL commands are ignored.
Individual Block Lock Bits (IBL) are volatile, with one for each sector / block, and can be individually modified. By issuing the IBL or
GBL commands, a IBL bit is set to “0” protecting each related sector / block. By issuing the IBUL or GUL commands, a IBL bit is
cleared to “1” unprotecting each related sector or block. By issuing the IBLRD command the state of each IBL bit protection can be
read.
8.8.1 IBL Read (IBLRD 3Dh or 4IBLRD E0h)
The IBLRD/4IBLRD command allows reading the state of each IBL bit protection.
The instruction is latched into SI by the rising edge of the SCK signal. The instruction is followed by the 24 or 32-Bit address,
depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0], selecting location zero within the desired sector.
Then the 8-bit IBL access register contents are shifted out on the serial output SO/IO1. Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency
by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible to read the same IBL access register continuously by providing multiples of eight
clock cycles. The address of the IBL register does not increment so this is not a means to read the entire IBL array. Each location
must be read with a separate IBL Read command.

Notes:
1. A = MSb of address = 23 for Address length (CR2V[0] = 0, or 31 for CR2V[0]=1 with co mmand 3Dh.

8.8.2 IBL Lock (IBL 36h or 4IBL E1h)
The IBL/4IBL commands sets the selected IBL bit to “0” protecting each related sector / block.
The IBL command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction, followed by the 24 or 32-Bit address,
depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0]. The IBL command affects the WIP bits of the Status and Configuration
Registers in the same manner as any other programming operation.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the 24 or 32-Bit address (depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0])
has been latched in. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed IBL operation is initiated. While the IBL operation
is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit
is a “1” during the self-timed IBL operation, and is a “0” when it is completed.

8.8.3 IBL Unlock (IBUL 39h or 4IBUL E2h)
The IBUL/4IBULcommands clears the selected IBL bit to “1” unprotecting each related sector / block.
The IBUL command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction, followed by the 24 or 32-Bit address,
depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0]. The IBUL command affects the WIP bits of the Status and Configuration
Registers in the same manner as any other programming operation.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the 24 or 32-Bit address (depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0])
has been latched in. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed IBL operation is initiated. While the IBUL
operation is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In
Progress (WIP) bit is a “1” during the self-timed IBUL operation, and is a “0” when it is completed.

This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction and address is shifted in on IO0-IO3.

8.8.4 Global IBL Lock (GBL 7Eh)
The GBL commands sets all the IBL bits to “0” protecting all sectors / blocks.
CS# must be driven into the logic high state after the eighth bit of the instruction byte has been latched in on SI. This will initiate the
GBL. If CS# is not driven high after the last bit of instruction, the GBL operation will not be executed.
As soon as CS# is driven into the logic high state, the GBL will be initiated. With the GBL in progress, the user can read the value of
the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit to determine when the operation has been completed. The WIP bit will indicate a “1” when the GBL
is in progress and a “0” when the GBL has been completed.

8.9 Pointer Region Command
8.9.1 Set Pointer Region Protection (SPRP FBh or 4SPRP E3h)
The SPRP or 4SPRP command is ignored during a suspend operation because the pointer value cannot be erased and re-
programmed during a suspend.
The SPRP or 4SPRP command is ignored if default Power Supply Lock-down protection NVLOCK PR[0]=0 or Power Supply Lock-
down protection enabled IRP[1]=0 or Password Protection enabled IRP[2]=0 and NVLOCK PR[0]=0.
Before the SPRP or 4SPRP command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued. After the
Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to
enable any write operations.
The SPRP or 4SPRP command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction, followed by the 24 or 32-
Bit address, depending on the address length configuration CR2V[0], see Pointer Region Protection (PRP) on page 52 for details on
address values to select protection options.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the last bit of address has been latched in. If not, the SPRP command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed SPRP operation is initiated. While the SPRP operation is in
progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit is a
“1” during the self-timed SPRP operation, and is a “0” when it is completed. When the SPRP operation is completed, the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a “0”. The SPRP or 4SPRP command will set the P_ERR or E_ERR bits if there is a failure in the Set
Pointer Region Protection operation.
For details on the address pointer defining a sector boundary between protected and unprotected regions in the
memory, see Pointer Region Protection (PRP) on page 52.

8.10 Individual and Region Protection (IRP) Commands
8.10.1 IRP Register Read (IRPRD 2Bh)
The IRP Register Read instruction 2Bh is shifted into SI/IO0 by the rising edge of the SCK signal followed by one dummy cycle. This
latency period allows the device’s internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the data
value on IO0-IO3 are “don’t care” and may be high impedance.
Then the 16-bit IRP register contents are shifted out on the serial output S0/IO1, least significant byte first. Each bit is shifted out at
the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible to read the IRP register continuously by providing multiples of
16 clock cycles.
Figure 107. IRPRD Command Sequence
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in and returning data out on IO0-IO3.
Figure 108. IRPRD Command Sequence – QPI Mode
8.10.2 IRP Program (IRPP 2Fh)
Before the IRP Program (IRPP) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be issued. After
the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device will set the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status Register to
enable any write operations.
The IRPP command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction and two data bytes on SI, least
significant byte first. The IRP Register is two data bytes in length.
The IRPP command affects the P_ERR and WIP bits of the Status and Configuration Registers in the same manner as any other
programming operation.
CS# input must be driven to the logic high state after the sixteenth bit of data has been latched in. If not, the IRPP command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed IRPP operation is initiated. While the IRPP operation is in
progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit is a
“1” during the self-timed IRPP operation, and is a “0” when it is completed. When the IRPP operation is completed, the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) is set to a “0”.

8.10.3 Protection Register Read (PRRD A7h)
The Protection Register Read (PRRD) command allows the Protection Register contents to be read out of SO/IO1. The Read
instruction A7h is shifted into SI by the rising edge of the SCK signal followed by one dummy cycle. This latency period allows the
device’s internal circuitry enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the data value on IO0-IO3 are
“don’t care” and may be high impedance.
Then the 8-bit Protection Register contents are shifted out on the serial output SO/IO1. Each bit is shifted out at the SCK frequency
by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible to read the Protection register continuously by providing multiples of eight clock
cycles.
The Protection Register contents may only be read when the device is in standby state with no other operation in progress.

8.10.4 Protection Register Lock (PRL A6h)
The Protection Register Lock (PRL) command clears the NVLOCK bit (PR[0]) to zero and loads the IRP[6] value in to SECRRP
(PR[6]). See Section 6.6.8. Protection Register (PR) on page 42. Before the PRL command can be accepted by the device, a Write
Enable (WREN) command must be issued and decoded by the device, which sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL) in the Status
Register to enable any write operations.
The PRL command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the eighth bit of instruction has been latched in. If not, the PRL command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PRL operation is initiated. While the PRL operation is in
progress, the Status Register may still be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit
is a “1” during the self-timed PRL operation, and is a “0” when it is completed. When the PRL operation is completed, the Write
Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a “0”.

8.10.5 Password Read (PASSRD E7h)
The correct password value may be read only after it is programmed and before the Password Mode has been selected by
programming the Password Protection Mode bit to 0 in the IRP Register (IRP[2]). After the Password Protection Mode is selected
the password is no longer readable, the PASSRD command will output undefined data.
The PASSRD command is shifted into SI followed by one dummy cycle. This latency period allows the device’s internal circuitry
enough time to access data at the initial address. During latency cycles, the data value on are “don’t care” and may be high
impedance.
Then the 64-bit Password is shifted out on the serial output, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. Each bit
is shifted out at the SCK frequency by the falling edge of the SCK signal. It is possible to read the Password continuously by
providing multiples of 64 clock cycles.
Figure 115. Password Read (PASSRD) Command Sequence
This command is also supported in QPI mode. In QPI mode the instruction is shifted in and returning data out on IO0-IO3.
Figure 116. Password Read (PASSRD) Command Sequence – QPI Mode
8.10.6 Password Program (PASSP E8h)
Before the Password Program (PASSP) command can be accepted by the device, a Write Enable (WREN) command must be
issued and decoded by the device. After the Write Enable (WREN) command has been decoded, the device sets the Write Enable
Latch (WEL) to enable the PASSP operation.
The password can only be programmed before the Password Mode is selected by programming the Password Protection Mode bit
to 0 in the IRP Register (IRP[2]). After the Password Protection Mode is selected the PASSP command is ignored.
The PASSP command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction and the password data bytes on
SI/IO0, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The password is sixty-four (64) bits in length.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the sixty-fourth (64th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the PASSP command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PASSP operation is initiated. While the PASSP operation
is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit
is a “1” during the self-timed PASSP cycle, and is a “0” when it is completed. The PASSP command can report a program error in the
P_ERR bit of the status register. When the PASSP operation is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) is set to a “0”.

8.10.7 Password Unlock (PASSU EAh)
The PASSU command is entered by driving CS# to the logic low state, followed by the instruction and the password data bytes on
SI, least significant byte first, most significant bit of each byte first. The password is sixty-four (64) bits in length.
CS# must be driven to the logic high state after the sixty-fourth (64th) bit of data has been latched. If not, the PASSU command is not
executed. As soon as CS# is driven to the logic high state, the self-timed PASSU operation is initiated. While the PASSU operation
is in progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value of the Write-In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write-In Progress (WIP) bit
is a “1” during the self-timed PASSU cycle, and is a “0” when it is completed.
If the PASSU command supplied password does not match the hidden password in the Password Register, an error is reported by
setting the P_ERR bit to 1. The WIP bit of the status register also remains set to 1. It is necessary to use the CLSR command to
clear the status register, the software reset command (RSTEN 66h followed by RST 99h) to reset the device, or drive the RESET#
and IO3 / RESET# input to initiate a hardware reset, in order to return the P_ERR and WIP bits to 0. This returns the device to
standby state, ready for new commands such as a retry of the PASSU command.
If the password does match, the NVLOCK bit is set to “1”.

8.11 Reset Commands
Software controlled Reset commands restore the device to its initial power up state, by reloading volatile registers from nonvolatile
default values. If a software reset is initiated during a Erase, Program or writing of a Register operation the data in that Sector, Page
or Register is not stable, the operation that was interrupted needs to be initiated again.
However, the volatile SRP1 bit in the Configuration register CR1V[0] and the volatile NVLOCK bit in the Protection Register are not
changed by a software reset. The software reset cannot be used to circumvent the SRP1 or NVLOCK bit protection mechanisms for
the other security configuration bits.
The SRP1 bit and the NVLOCK bit will remain set at their last value prior to the software reset. To clear the SRP1 bit and set the
NVLOCK bit to its protection mode selected power on state, a full power-on-reset sequence or hardware reset must be done.
A software reset command (RSTEN 66h followed by RST 99h) is executed when CS# is brought high at the end of the instruction
and requires tRPH time to execute.
In the case of a previous Power-up Reset (POR) failure to complete, a reset command triggers a full power up sequence requiring
tPU to complete.

8.11.1 Software Reset Enable (RSTEN 66h)
The Reset Enable (RSTEN) command is required immediately before a software reset command (RST 99h) such that a software
reset is a sequence of the two commands. Any command other than RST following the RSTEN command, will clear the reset enable
condition and prevent a later RST command from being recognized.
8.11.2 Software Reset (RST 99h)
The Reset (RST) command immediately following a RSTEN command, initiates the software reset process. Any command other
than RST following the RSTEN command, will clear the reset enable condition and prevent a later RST command from being
recognized.
8.11.3 Mode Bit Reset (MBR FFh)
The Mode Bit Reset (MBR) command is used to return the device from continuous high performance read mode back to normal
standby awaiting any new command. Because the hardware RESET# input may be disabled and a device that is in a continuous
high performance read mode may not recognize any normal SPI command, a system hardware reset or software reset command
may not be recognized by the device. It is recommended to use the MBR command after a system reset when the RESET# signal is
not available or, before sending a software reset, to ensure the device is released from continuous high performance read mode.
The MBR command sends Ones on SI/IO0for eight SCK cycles. IO1-IO3 are “don’t care” during these cycles.
8.12 Deep Power Down Commands
8.12.1 Deep Power-Down (DPD B9h)
Although the standby current during normal operation is relatively low, standby current can be further reduced with the Deep Power-
Down command. The lower power consumption makes the Deep Power-down (DPD) command especially useful for battery
powered applications (see ICC1 and ICC2 in (Section 11.6. DC Characteristics on page 127). The command is initiated by driving the
CS# pin low and shifting the instruction code “B9h”.
The CS# pin must be driven high after the eighth bit has been latched. If this is not done the Deep Power-Down command will not be
executed. After CS# is driven high, the power-down state will be entered within the time duration of tDP (Table 53 on page 134).
While in the power-down state only the Release from Deep Power-Down / Device ID command, which restores the device to normal
operation, will be recognized. All other commands are ignored. This includes the Read Status Register command, which is always
available during normal operation. Ignoring all but one command also makes the Power Down state a useful condition for securing
maximum write protection.
While in the deep power-down mode the device will only accept a hardware reset which will initiate a Power on Reset that will
restore the device to normal operation. The device always powers-up in the normal operation with the standby current of ICC1.

8.12.2 Release from Deep Power-Down / Device ID (RES ABh)
The Release from Deep Power-Down /Device ID command is a multi-purpose command. It can be used to release the device from
the Deep Power-Down state, or obtain the devices electronic identification (ID) number.
To release the device from the Deep Power-Down state, the command is issued by driving the CS# pin low, shifting the instruction
code “ABh” and driving CS# high. Release from Deep Power-Down will take the time duration of tRES (Table 53 on page 134) before
the device will resume normal operation and other commands are accepted. The CS# pin must remain high during the tRES time
duration.
When used only to obtain the Device ID while not in the Deep Power-Down state, the command 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. The Device ID values for the S25FL-L Family is listed in and Table 42, Manufacturer Device
Type on page 122. Continued shifting of output beyond the end of the defined ID address space will provide undefined data. The
command is completed by driving CS# high.
When used to release the device from the Deep Power-Down state and obtain the Device ID, the command is the same as
previously described, and shown in Figure 127 and Figure 128, except that after CS# is driven high it must remain high for a time
duration of tRES. After this time duration the device will resume normal operation and other commands will be accepted. If the
Release from Deep Power-Down / Device ID command is issued while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in process (when BUSY
equals 1) the command is ignored and will not have any effects on the current cycle.

10.1 JEDEC JESD216B Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters
This document defines the Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) revision B data structure used in the following Cypress
Serial Flash Devices:
S25FL-L Family
These data structure values are an update to the earlier revision SFDP data structure currently existing in the above devices.
The Read SFDP (RSFDP) command (5Ah) reads information from a separate Flash memory address space for device identification,
feature, and configuration information, in accord with the JEDEC JESD216B standard for Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters.
The SFDP data structure consists of a header table that identifies the revision of the JESD216 header format that is supported and
provides a revision number and pointer for each of the SFDP parameter tables that are provided. The parameter tables follow the
SFDP header. However, the parameter tables may be placed in any physical location and order within the SFDP address space. The
tables are not necessarily adjacent nor in the same order as their header table entries.
The SFDP header points to the following parameter tables:
Basic Flash
– This is the original SFDP table. It has a few modified fields and new additional field added at the end of the table.
4 Byte Address Instruction
– This is the original SFDP table. It has a few modified fields and new additional field added at the end of the table.
The physical order of the tables in the SFDP address space is: SFDP Header, Basic Flash Sector Map, 4 Byte Instruction.
The SFDP address space is programmed by Cypress and read-only for the host system.
10.1.1 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) Address Map
The SFDP address space has a header starting at address zero that identifies the SFDP data structure and provides a pointer to
each parameter. One Basic Flash parameter is mandated by the JEDEC JESD216B standard. Optional parameter tables for 4 Byte
Address Instructions follow the Basic Flash table.

parsing software for minor revision 0 will still work with minor revision 6. SFDP reading and parsing
software for minor revision 6 must be designed to also read minor revision 0 or 5. Do not do a simple

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

Figure 130. Maximum Positive Overshoot Waveform
11.5 Power-Up and Power-Down
The device must not be selected at power-up or power-down (that is, CS# must follow the voltage applied on VCC) until VCC reaches
the correct value as follows:
VCC (min) at power-up, and then for a further delay of tPU
VSS at power-down
User is not allowed to enter any command until a valid delay of tPU has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the minimum
VCC threshold. See Figure 131. However, correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if VCC returns below VCC (min) during
tPU. No command should be sent to the device until the end of tPU.
The device draws IPOR during tPU. After power-up (tPU), the device is in Standby mode, draws CMOS standby current (ISB), and the
WEL bit is reset.
During power-down or if supply voltage drops below VCC(cut-off), the supply voltage must stay below VCC(low) for a period of tPD for
the part to initialize correctly on power-up. See Figure 132. If during a voltage drop the VCC stays above VCC(cut-off) the part will
stay initialized and will work correctly when VCC is again above VCC(min). In the event Power-on Reset (POR) did not complete
correctly after power up, the assertion of the RESET# signal or receiving a software reset command (RSTEN 66h followed by RST
99h) will restart the POR process.

If VCC drops below the VCC (Cut-off) during an embedded program or erase operation the embedded operation may be aborted and
the data in that memory area may be incorrect.
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling to stabilize the VCC supply at the device. Each device in a system
should have the VCC rail decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package supply connection (this capacitor is generally of the
order of 0.1 µf).

Note:
1. Re-initialization is needed if VCC drops below 2.4V.
2. VCC need to go below 1.0V for initializat ion to occur.

11.6.1 Active Power and Standby Power Modes
The device is enabled and in the Active Power mode when Chip Select (CS#) is Low. When CS# is high, the device is disabled, but
may still be in an Active Power mode until all program, erase, and write operations have completed. The device then goes into the
Standby Power mode, and power consumption drops to ISB.
11.6.2 Deep Power Down Power Mode (DPD)
The Deep Power Down mode is enabled by inputing the command instruction code “B9h” and the power consumption drops to IDPD.
In DPD mode the device responds only to the Resume from DPD command (RES ABh) or Hardware reset (RESET# and IO3 /
RESET#). All other commands are ignored during DPD mode.

12.2.1 Capacitance Characteristics
12.3 Reset
If a Hardware Reset is initiated during a Erase, Program or writing of a Register operation the data in that Sector, Page or Register
is not stable, the operation that was interrupted needs to be initiated again. If a Hardware Reset is initiated during a Software Reset
operation, the Hardware Reset might be ignored.
12.3.1 Power-On (Cold) Reset
The device executes a Power-On Reset (POR) process until a time delay of tPU has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above
the minimum VCC threshold. See Figure 131 on page 125, Table 46 on page 125. The device must not be selected (CS# to go high
with VCC) during power-up (tPU), i.e. no commands may be sent to the device until the end of tPU.
RESET# and IO3 / RESET# reset function is ignored during POR. If RESET# or IO3 / RESET# is low during POR and remains low
through and beyond the end of tPU, CS# must remain high until tRH after RESET# and IO3 / RESET# returns high. RESET# and IO3
/ RESET# must return high for greater than tRS before returning low to initiate a hardware reset.
The IO3 / RESET# input functions as the RESET# signal when CS# is high for more than tCS time or when Quad or QPI Mode is not
enabled CR1V[1]=0 or CR2V[3]=0.

Figure 138. POR followed by Hardware Reset
12.3.2 RESET # and IO3 / RESET# Input Initiated Hardware (Warm) Reset
The RESET# and IO3 / RESET# inputs can function as the RESET# signal. Both inputs can initiate the reset operation under
conditions.
The RESET# input initiates the reset operation when transitions from VIH to VIL for > tRP, the device will reset register states in the
same manner as power-on reset but, does not go through the full reset process that is performed during POR. The hardware reset
process requires a period of tRPH to complete. The RESET# input is available only on the SOIC 16 lead and BGA ball packages.
The IO3 / RESET# input initiates the reset operation under the following when CS# is high for more than tCS time or when Quad or
QPI Mode is not enabled CR1V[1]=0 or CR2V[3]=0. The IO3 / RESET# input has an internal pull-up to VCC and may be left
unconnected if Quad or QPI mode is not used. The tCS delay after CS# goes high gives the memory or host system time to drive IO3
high after its use as a Quad or QPI mode I/O signal while CS# was low. The internal pull-up to VCC will then hold IO3 / RESET# high
until the host system begins driving IO3 / RESET#. The IO3 / RESET# input is ignored while CS# remains high during tCS, to avoid
an unintended Reset operation. If CS# is driven low to start a new command, IO3 / RESET# is used as IO3.
When the device is not in Quad or QPI mode or, when CS# is high, and IO3 / RESET# transitions from VIH to VIL for > tRP, following
tCS, the device will reset register states in the same manner as power-on reset but, does not go through the full reset process that is
performed during POR.
The hardware reset process requires a period of tRPH to complete. If the POR process did not complete correctly for any reason
during power-up (tPU), RESET# going low will initiate the full POR process instead of the hardware reset process and will require tPU
to complete the POR process.
The software reset command (RSTEN 66h followed by RST 99h) is independent of the state of RESET # and IO3 / RESET#. If
RESET# and IO3 / RESET# is high or unconnected, and the software reset instructions are issued, the device will perform software
reset.
Additional notes:
If both RESET# and IO3 / RESET# input options are available use only one reset option in your system. IO3 / RESET#
input reset operation can be disable by setting CR2NV[7]=0 (See Table 12, Configuration Register 2 Nonvolatile (CR2NV)
on page 34) setting the IO3_RESET to only operate as IO3. The RESET# input can be disable by not connecting or tying
the RESET# input to VIH. RESET# and IO3 / RESET# must be high for tRS following tPU or tRPH, before going low again to
initiate a hardware reset.
When IO3 / RESET# is driven low for at least a minimum period of time (tRP), following tCS, the device terminates any
operation in progress, makes all outputs high impedance, and ignores all read/write commands for the duration of tRPH.
The device resets the interface to standby state.
If Quad or QPI mode and the IO3 / RESET# feature are enabled, the host system should not drive IO3 low during tCS, to
avoid driver contention on IO3. Immediately following commands that transfer data to the host in Quad or QPI mode, e.g.
Quad I/O Read, the memory drives IO3 / RESET# high during tCS, to avoid an unintended Reset operation. Immediately
following commands that transfer data to the memory in Quad mode, e.g. Page Program, the host system should drive IO3
/ RESET# high during tCS, to avoid an unintended Reset operation.
If Quad or QPI mode is not enabled, and if CS# is low at the time IO3 / RESET# is asserted low, CS# must return high
during tRPH before it can be asserted low again after tRH.

Notes:
1. RESET# and IO3 / RESET# Low is ignored during Power-up (tPU). If Reset# is asserted during the end of t PU, the device will remain in the reset state and tRH will
determine when CS# may go Low.
2. If Quad or QPI mode is enabled , IO3 / RESET# Low is ignored during tCS
3. Sum of tRP and tRH must be equa l to or greater than tRPH.

12.5.2 DDR Output Timing
Figure 148. SPI DDR Output Timing
12.5.3 DDR Data Valid Timing using DLP
Figure 149. SPI DDR Data Valid Window
The minimum data valid window (tDV) and tV minimum can be calculated as follows:
tDV = Minimum half clock cycle time (tCLH(1)) - tOTT(3) - tIO_SKEW (2)
tV _min = tHO + tIO_SKEW + tOTT
Example:
66 MHz clock frequency = 15 ns clock period, DDR operations and duty cycle of 45% or higher
–t
CLH = 0.45 x PSCK = 0.45 x 15 ns = 6.75 ns
tOTT calculation(4) is bus impedance of 45 ohm and capacitance of 37 pf, with timing reference of 0.75 VCC, the rise time from 0 to
1 or fall time 1 to 0 is 1.4(7) x RC time constant (Tau)(6) = 1.4 x 1.67 ns = 2.34 ns
–t
OTT = rise time or fall time = 2.34 ns.
Data Valid Window
–t
DV = tCLH - tIO_SKEW - tOTT = 6.75 ns - 600 ps - 2.34ns = 3.81ns
tV Minimum
–t
V _min = tHO + tIO_SKEW + tOTT = 1.0 ns + 600 ps + 2.34ns = 3.94ns
Notes
1. tCLH is the shorter duration of tCL or tCH.
2. tIO_SKEW is the maximum difference (delta) between the minimum and maximum tV (output valid) across all IO signals.
3. tOTT is the maximum Output Transition Time from one valid data value to the next valid data value on each IO.
4. tOTT is dependent on system level considerations including:
a. Memory device output impedance (drive strength).
b. System level parasitics on the IOs (primarily bus capacitance).
c. Host memory controller input VIH and VIL levels at which 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 transitions are recognized.
d. tOTT is not a specification tested by Cypress, it is system dependent and must be derived by the system designer based on the above considerations.
5. tDV is the data valid window.
6. Tau = R (Output Impedance) x C (Load capacitance).
7. Multiplier of Tau time for voltage to rise to 75% of VCC.

15. Other Resources
15.1 Glossary
BCD Binary Coded Decimal. A value in which each 4 bit nibble represents a decimal numeral.
Command
All information transferred between the host system and memory during one period while CS# is low. This
includes the instruction (sometimes called an operation code or opcode) and any required address, mode
bits, latency cycles, or data.
DDP Dual Die Package = Two die stacked within the same package to increase the memory capacity of a single
package. Often also referred to as a Multi-Chip Package (MCP).
DDR Double Data Rate = When input and output are latched on every edge of SCK.
DIO Dual Input Output
Flash The name for a type of Electrical Erase Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) that erases large
blocks of memory bits in parallel, making the erase operation much faster than early EEPROM.
High A signal voltage level ≥ VIH or a logic level representing a binary one (“1”).
Instruction
The 8 bit code indicating the function to be performed by a command (sometimes called an operation code
or opcode). The instruction is always the first 8 bits transferred from host system to the memory in any
command.
Low A signal voltage level VIL or a logic level representing a binary zero (“0”).
LSb Least significant bit is the right most bit, with the lowest order of magnitude value, within a group of bits of
a register or data value.
MSb Most significant bit is the left most bit, with the highest order of magnitude value, within a group of bits of
a register or data value.
LSB Least significant byte.
MSB Most significant byte.
N/A Not Applicable. A value is not relevant to situation described.
Nonvolatile No power is needed to maintain data stored in the memory.
OPN Ordering Part Number = The alphanumeric string specifying the memory device type, density, package,
factory nonvolatile configuration, etc. used to select the desired device.
QIO Quad Input Output Mode
QPI Quad Peripheral Interface
Page 256 Byte length and aligned group of data.
PCB Printed Circuit Board
Register Bit References In the format: Register_name[bit_number] or Register_name[bit_range_MSb: bit_range_LSb]
Sector Erase unit size; depending on device model and sector location this may be 4KBytes, 32KBytes or
64KBytes
SDR Single Data Rate = When input is latched on the rising edge and output on the falling edge of SCK.
Write
An operation that changes data within volatile or nonvolatile registers bits or nonvolatile Flash memory.
When changing nonvolatile data, an erase and reprogramming of any unchanged nonvolatile data is done,
as part of the operation, such that the nonvolatile data is modified by the write operation, in the same way
that volatile data is modified – as a single operation. The nonvolatile data appears to the host system to
be updated by the single write command, without the need for separate commands for erase and
reprogram of adjacent, but unaffected data.
