Description
The M25PE16 is a 16-Mbit (2 Mbits x 8) serial paged flash memory accessed by a high speed SPI-compatible bus. The memory can be written or programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time, using the page write or page program instruction. The page write instruction consists of an integrated page erase cycle followed by a page program cycle. The memory is organized as 32 sectors that are further divided up into 16 subsectors each (512 subsectors in total). Each sector contains 256 pages and each subsector contains 16 pages. Each page is 256-byte wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 8192 pages, or 2,097,152 bytes. The memory can be erased a page at a time, using the page erase instruction, a subsector at a time, using the subsector erase instruction, a sector at a time, using the sector erase instruction, or as a whole, using the bulk erase instruction. The memory can be write protected by either hardware or software using mixed volatile and non-volatile protection features, depending on the application needs. The protection granularity is of 64 Kbytes (sector granularity).

2.1
Signal descriptions
Serial data output (Q)
This output signal is used to transfer data serially out of the device. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.2
Serial data input (D)
This input signal is used to transfer data serially into the device. It receives instructions, addresses, and the data to be programmed. Values are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.3
Serial clock (C)
This input signal provides the timing of the serial interface. Instructions, addresses, or data present at Serial Data Input (D) are latched on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Data on Serial Data Output (Q) changes after the falling edge of Serial Clock (C).
2.4
Chip select (S)
When this input signal is High, the device is deselected and serial data output (Q) is at high impedance. Unless an internal read, program, erase or write cycle is in progress, the device will be in the standby mode (this is not the deep power-down mode). Driving Chip Select (S) Low selects the device, placing it in the active power mode. After power-up, a falling edge on Chip Select (S) is required prior to the start of any instruction.
2.5
Reset (Reset)
The Reset (Reset) input provides a hardware reset for the memory. When Reset (Reset) is driven High, the memory is in the normal operating mode. When Reset (Reset) is driven Low, the memory will enter the reset mode. In this mode, the output is high impedance. Driving Reset (Reset) Low while an internal operation is in progress will affect this operation (write, program or erase cycle) and data may be lost. See Table 12 for the status of the device after a Reset Low pulse.
2.6
Write protect (W)
The write protect (W) input is used to freeze the size of the area of memory that is protected against write, program and erase instructions (as specified by the values in the BP2, BP1 and BP0 bits of the status register). See Section 6.4: Read status register (RDSR).

SPI modes
These devices can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in either of the two following modes:

CPOL=0, CPHA=0 CPOL=1, CPHA=1
For these two modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge of Serial Clock (C), and output data is available from the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The difference between the two modes, as shown in Figure 4, is the clock polarity when the bus master is in Stand-by mode and not transferring data:

C remains at 0 for (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) C remains at 1 for (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) Bus master and memory devices on the SPI bus

1. The Write Protect (W) and Reset (Reset) signals should be driven, High or Low as appropriate.
Figure 3 shows an example of three devices connected to an MCU, on an SPI bus. Only one device is selected at a time, so only one device drives the serial data output (Q) line at a time, the other devices are high impedance. Resistors R (represented in Figure 3) ensure that the M25PE16 is not selected if the bus master leaves the S line in the high impedance state. As the bus master may enter a state where all inputs/outputs are in high impedance at the same time (for example, when the bus master is reset), the clock line (C) must be connected to an external pull-down resistor so that, when all inputs/outputs become high impedance, the S line is pulled High while the C line is pulled Low (thus ensuring that S and C do not become High at the same time, and so, that the tSHCH requirement is met). The typical value of R is 100 k, assuming that the time constant R*Cp (Cp = parasitic capacitance of the bus line) is shorter than the time during which the bus master leaves the SPI bus in high impedance.

SPI modes Example: Cp = 50 pF, that is R*Cp = 5 s <=> the application must ensure that the bus master never leaves the SPI bus in the high impedance state for a time period shorter than 5 s. Figure 4.

Operating features
Sharing the overhead of modifying data
To write or program one (or more) data bytes, two instructions are required: write enable (WREN), which is one byte, and a page write (PW) or page program (PP) sequence, which consists of four bytes plus data. This is followed by the internal cycle (of duration tPW or tPP). To share this overhead, the page write (PW) or page program (PP) instruction allows up to 256 bytes to be programmed (changing bits from `1' to `0') or written (changing bits to `0' or `1') at a time, provided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the same page of memory.
4.2
An easy way to modify data
The page write (PW) instruction provides a convenient way of modifying data (up to 256 contiguous bytes at a time), and simply requires the start address, and the new data in the instruction sequence. The page write (PW) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, and then transmitting the instruction byte, three address bytes (A23-A0) and at least one data byte, and then driving Chip Select (S) High. While Chip Select (S) is being held Low, the data bytes are written to the data buffer, starting at the address given in the third address byte (A7-A0). When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the write cycle starts. The remaining, unchanged, bytes of the data buffer are automatically loaded with the values of the corresponding bytes of the addressed memory page. The addressed memory page then automatically put into an erase cycle. Finally, the addressed memory page is programmed with the contents of the data buffer. All of this buffer management is handled internally, and is transparent to the user. The user is given the facility of being able to alter the contents of the memory on a byte-by-byte basis. For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page write (PW) instruction to write all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page write (PW) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Section 6.9: Page write (PW), Table 18: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation), and Table 19: AC characteristics (75 MHz operation)).

4.3
A fast way to modify data
The page program (PP) instruction provides a fast way of modifying data (up to 256 contiguous bytes at a time), provided that it only involves resetting bits to `0' that had previously been set to `1'. This might be:

when the designer is programming the device for the first time when the designer knows that the page has already been erased by an earlier page erase (PE), subsector erase (SSE), sector erase (SE) or bulk erase (BE) instruction. This is useful, for example, when storing a fast stream of data, having first performed the erase cycle when time was available when the designer knows that the only changes involve resetting bits to 0 that are still set to `1'. When this method is possible, it has the additional advantage of minimizing the number of unnecessary erase operations, and the extra stress incurred by each page.
For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page program (PP) instruction to program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Section 6.10: Page program (PP), Table 18: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation), and Table 19: AC characteristics (75 MHz operation)).
4.4
Polling during a write, program or erase cycle
A further improvement in the time to write (PW, WRSR), program (PP) or erase (SE, SSE or BE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst case delay (tW, tPW, tPP, tPE, tSE, tSSE or tBE). The write in progress (WIP) bit is provided in the status register so that the application program can monitor its value, polling it to establish when the previous cycle is complete.
4.5
Reset
An internal power-on reset circuit helps protect against inadvertent data writes. Addition protection is provided by driving Reset (Reset) Low during the power-on process, and only driving it High when VCC has reached the correct voltage level, VCC(min).
4.6
Active power, standby power and deep power-down modes
When Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is selected, and in the active power mode. When Chip Select (S) is High, the device is deselected, but could remain in the active power mode until all internal cycles have completed (program, erase, write). The device then goes in to the standby power mode. The device consumption drops to ICC1. The deep power-down mode is entered when the specific instruction (the deep power-down (DP) instruction) is executed. The device consumption drops further to ICC2. When in this mode, only the release from deep power-down instruction is accepted. All other instructions are ignored. The device remains in the deep power-down mode until the release from deep power-down instruction is executed. This can be used as an extra software protection mechanism, when the device is not in active use, to protect the device from inadvertent write, program or erase instructions.

Status register
The status register contains a number of status and control bits that can be read or set (as appropriate) by using specific instructions. See Section 6.4: Read status register (RDSR) for a detailed description of the status register bits.
4.8
Protection modes
The environments where non-volatile memory devices are used can be very noisy. No SPI device can operate correctly in the presence of excessive noise. To help combat this and to meet the needs of modularized applications, the M25PE16 features the following flexible data protection mechanisms:
4.8.1
Protocol-related protections

Power on reset and an internal timer (tPUW) can provide protection against inadvertent changes while the power supply is outside the operating specification. Program, erase and write instructions are checked that they consist of a number of clock pulses that is a multiple of eight, before they are accepted for execution. All instructions that modify data must be preceded by a write enable (WREN) instruction to set the write enable latch (WEL) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state by the following events: - - - - - - - - - - - Power-up Reset (Reset) driven Low Write disable (WRDI) instruction completion Page write (PW) instruction completion Write status register (WRSR) instruction completion Page program (PP) instruction completion Write to lock register (WRLR) instruction completion Page erase (PE) instruction completion Subsector erase (SSE) instruction completion Sector erase (SE) instruction completion Bulk erase (BE) instruction completion
The Reset (Reset) signal can be driven Low to freeze and reset the internal logic. For the specific cases of program and write cycles, the designer should refer to Section 6.5: Write status register (WRSR), Section 6.9: Page write (PW), Section 6.10: Page program (PP), Section 6.12: Page erase (PE), Section 6.13: Sector erase (SE) and Section 6.14: Subsector erase (SSE), and to Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse. In addition to the low power consumption feature, the deep power-down mode offers extra software protection from inadvertent write, program and erase instructions while the device is not in active use.

4.8.2
Specific hardware and software protections
There are two software protected modes, SPM1 and SPM2, that can be combined to protect the memory array as required. The SPM2 can be hardware protected with the help of the W input pin.
SPM1 and SPM2
The first software protected mode (SPM1) is managed by specific lock registers assigned to each 64 Kbyte sector. The lock registers can be read and written using the read lock register (RDLR) and write to lock register (WRLR) instructions. In each lock register two bits control the protection of each sector: the write lock bit and the lock down bit. - Write lock bit: The write lock bit determines whether the contents of the sector can be modified (using the write, program or erase instructions). When the write lock bit is set to `1', the sector is write protected - any operations that attempt to change the data in the sector will fail. When the write lock bit is reset to `0', the sector is not write protected by the lock register, and may be modified. - Lock down bit: The lock down bit provides a mechanism for protecting software data from simple hacking and malicious attack. When the lock down bit is set to `1', further modification to the write lock and lock down bits cannot be performed. A reset, or power-up, is required before changes to these bits can be made. When the lock down bit is reset to `0', the write lock and lock down bits can be changed. The write lock bit and the lock down bit are volatile and their value is reset to `0' after a power-down or a reset (see Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse). The definition of the lock register bits is given in Table 9: Lock register out.

Instructions
All instructions, addresses and data are shifted in and out of the device, most significant bit first. Serial data input (D) is sampled on the first rising edge of Serial Clock (C) after Chip Select (S) is driven Low. Then, the one-byte instruction code must be shifted in to the device, most significant bit first, on serial data input (D), each bit being latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C). The instruction set is listed in Table 5. Every instruction sequence starts with a one-byte instruction code. Depending on the instruction, this might be followed by address bytes, or by data bytes, or by both or none. In the case of a read data bytes (READ), read data bytes at higher speed (Fast_Read), read identification (RDID), read status register (RDSR), or read lock register (RDLR) instruction, the shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a data-out sequence. Chip Select (S) can be driven High after any bit of the data-out sequence is being shifted out. In the case of a page write (PW), page program (PP), write to lock register (WRLR), page erase (PE), sector erase (SE), subsector erase (SSE), bulk erase (BE), write status register (WRSR), write enable (WREN), write disable (WRDI), deep power-down (DP) or release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction, Chip Select (S) must be driven High exactly at a byte boundary, otherwise the instruction is rejected, and is not executed. That is, Chip Select (S) must driven High when the number of clock pulses after Chip Select (S) being driven Low is an exact multiple of eight. All attempts to access the memory array during a write cycle, program cycle or erase cycle are ignored, and the internal write cycle, program cycle or erase cycle continues unaffected.

Read identification (RDID)
The read identification (RDID) instruction allows to read the device identification data:

Manufacturer identification (1 byte) Device identification (2 bytes) A unique ID code (UID) (17 bytes, of which 16 available upon customer request)
The manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC, and has the value 20h for Numonyx. The device identification is assigned by the device manufacturer, and indicates the memory type in the first byte (80h), and the memory capacity of the device in the second byte (15h). The UID contains the length of the following data in the first byte (set to 10h), and 16 bytes of the optional customized factory data (CFD) content. The CFD bytes are read-only and can be programmed with customers data upon their demand. If the customers do not make requests, the device is shipped with all the CFD bytes programmed to zero (00h). Any read identification (RDID) instruction while an erase or program cycle is in progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the cycle that is in progress. The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. Then, the 8-bit instruction code for the instruction is shifted in. After this, the 24-bit device identification, stored in the memory, the 8-bit CFD length followed by 16 bytes of CFD content will be shifted out on serial data output (Q). Each bit is shifted out during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 8. The read identification (RDID) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High at any time during data output. When Chip Select (S) is driven High, the device is put in the standby power mode. Once in the standby power mode, the device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. Table 6. Read identification (RDID) data-out sequence

Read status register (RDSR)
The read status register (RDSR) instruction allows the status register to be read. The status register may be read at any time, even while a program, erase or write cycle is in progress. When one of these cycles is in progress, it is recommended to check the write in progress (WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the device. It is also possible to read the status register continuously, as shown in Figure 9. The status bits of the status register are as follows:
6.4.1
WIP bit
The write in progress (WIP) bit indicates whether the memory is busy with a write, program or erase cycle. When set to `1', such a cycle is in progress, when reset to `0' no such cycle is in progress.
6.4.2
WEL bit
The write enable latch (WEL) bit indicates the status of the internal write enable latch. When set to `1' the internal write enable latch is set, when set to `0' the internal write enable latch is reset and no write, program or erase instruction is accepted.
6.4.3
BP2, BP1, BP0 bits
The block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are non-volatile. They define the size of the area to be software protected against program and erase instructions. These bits are written with the write status register (WRSR) instruction. When one or more of the block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits is set to `1', the relevant memory area (as defined in Table 3) becomes protected against page program (PP), sector erase (SE) and subsector erase (SSE) instructions. The block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits can be written provided that the hardware protected mode has not been set. The bulk erase (BE) instruction is executed if, and only if:

all block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are 0 the lock register protection bits are not all set (`1')
6.4.4
SRWD bit
The status register write disable (SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the Write Protect (W) signal. When the status register write disable (SRWD) bit is set to `1', and Write Protect (W) is driven Low, the non-volatile bits of the status register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0) become read-only bits. In such a state, as the write status register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted for execution, the definition of the size of the write protected area cannot be further modified. Table 7.

Write status register (WRSR)
The write status register (WRSR) instruction allows new values to be written to the status register. Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded and executed, the device sets the write enable latch (WEL). The write status register (WRSR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code and the data byte on serial data input (D). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 10. The write status register (WRSR) instruction has no effect on b6, b5, b1 and b0 of the status register. b6 and b5 are always read as 0. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in. If not, the write status register (WRSR) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed write status register cycle (whose duration is tW) is initiated. While the write status register cycle is in progress, the status register may still be read to check the value of the write in progress (WIP) bit. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed write status register cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. When the cycle is completed, the write enable latch (WEL) is reset. The write status register (WRSR) instruction allows the user to change the values of the block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of the area that is to be treated as read-only, as defined in Table 3. The write status register (WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or reset the status register write disable (SRWD) bit in accordance with the Write Protect (W) signal (see Section 6.4.4). If a write status register (WRSR) instruction is interrupted by a Reset Low pulse, the internal cycle of the write status register operation (whose duration is tW) is first completed (provided that the supply voltage VCC remains within the operating range). After that the device enters the reset mode (see also Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse and Table 21: Timings after a Reset Low pulse). Figure 10.

Ready to accept page program and sector erase instructions
1. As defined by the values in the block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the status register, as shown in Table 3.
The protection features of the device are summarized in Table 8. When the status register write disable (SRWD) bit of the status register is 0 (its initial delivery state), it is possible to write to the status register provided that the write enable latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a write enable (WREN) instruction, regardless of the whether Write Protect (W) is driven High or Low. When the status register write disable (SRWD) bit of the status register is set to `1', two cases need to be considered, depending on the state of Write Protect (W):
If Write Protect (W) is driven High, it is possible to write to the status register provided that the write enable latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a write enable (WREN) instruction. If Write Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not possible to write to the status register even if the write enable latch (WEL) bit has previously been set by a write enable (WREN) instruction. Attempts to write to the status register are rejected, and are not accepted for execution. As a consequence, all the data bytes in the memory area that are software protected (SPM2) by the block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the status register, are also hardware protected against data modification.
Regardless of the order of the two events, the hardware protected mode (HPM) can be entered:

by setting the status register write disable (SRWD) bit after driving Write Protect (W) Low or by driving Write Protect (W) Low after setting the status register write disable (SRWD) bit.
The only way to exit the hardware protected mode (HPM) once entered is to pull Write Protect (W) High. If Write Protect (W) is permanently tied High, the hardware protected mode (HPM) can never be activated, and only the software protected mode (SPM2), using the block protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the status register, can be used.

Read data bytes (READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the read data bytes (READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0), each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on serial data output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 11. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single read data bytes (READ) instruction. When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely. The read data bytes (READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any read data bytes (READ) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 11.

Read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23A0) and a dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the memory contents, at that address, is shifted out on serial data output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 12. The first byte addressed can be at any location. The address is automatically incremented to the next higher address after each byte of data is shifted out. The whole memory can, therefore, be read with a single read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction. When the highest address is reached, the address counter rolls over to 000000h, allowing the read sequence to be continued indefinitely. The read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driven High at any time during data output. Any read data bytes at higher speed (FAST_READ) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 12.

Read lock register (RDLR)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. The instruction code for the read lock register (RDLR) instruction is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) pointing to any location inside the concerned sector. Each address bit is latched-in during the rising edge of Serial Clock (C). Then the value of the lock register is shifted out on serial data output (Q), each bit being shifted out, at a maximum frequency fC, during the falling edge of Serial Clock (C). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 13. The read lock register (RDLR) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High at any time during data output. Any read lock register (RDLR) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Table 9.

Page write (PW)
The page write (PW) instruction allows bytes to be written in the memory. Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write enable latch (WEL). The page write (PW) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on serial data input (D). The rest of the page remains unchanged if no power failure occurs during this write cycle. The page write (PW) instruction performs a page erase cycle even if only one byte is updated. If the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data exceeding the addressed page boundary roll over, and are written from the start address of the same page (the one whose 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are all zero). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 14. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be written correctly within the same page. If less than 256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly written at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page. For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page write (PW) instruction to write all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page write (PW) sequences with each containing only a few bytes Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the page write (PW) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed page write cycle (whose duration is tPW) is initiated. While the page write cycle is in progress, the status register may be read to check the value of the write in progress (WIP) bit. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed page write cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset. A page write (PW) instruction applied to a page that is hardware or software protected is not executed. Any page write (PW) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a page write (PW) cycle is in progress, the page write cycle is interrupted and the programmed data may be corrupted (see Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse). On Reset going Low, the device enters the reset mode and a time of tRHSL is then required before the device can be re-selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. For the value of tRHSL see Table 21: Timings after a Reset Low pulse in Section 11: DC and AC parameters.

Page program (PP)
The page program (PP) instruction allows bytes to be programmed in the memory (changing bits from 1 to 0, only). Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write enable latch (WEL). The page program (PP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address bytes and at least one data byte on serial data input (D). If the 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are not all zero, all transmitted data exceeding the addressed page boundary roll over, and are programmed from the start address of the same page (the one whose 8 least significant address bits (A7-A0) are all zero). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 15. If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, previously latched data are discarded and the last 256 data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed correctly within the same page. If less than 256 data bytes are sent to device, they are correctly programmed at the requested addresses without having any effects on the other bytes of the same page. For optimized timings, it is recommended to use the page program (PP) instruction to program all consecutive targeted bytes in a single sequence versus using several page program (PP) sequences with each containing only a few bytes (see Table 18: AC characteristics (50 MHz operation) and Table 19: AC characteristics (75 MHz operation)). Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the last data byte has been latched in, otherwise the page program (PP) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, the self-timed page program cycle (whose duration is tPP) is initiated. While the page program cycle is in progress, the status register may be read to check the value of the write in progress (WIP) bit. The write in progress (WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed page program cycle, and is 0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the cycle is complete, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset. A page program (PP) instruction applied to a page that is hardware or software protected is not executed. Any page program (PP) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. If Reset (Reset) is driven Low while a page program (PP) cycle is in progress, the page program cycle is interrupted and the programmed data may be corrupted (see Table 12: Device status after a Reset Low pulse). On Reset going Low, the device enters the reset mode and a time of tRHSL is then required before the device can be re-selected by driving Chip Select (S) Low. For the value of tRHSL see Table 21: Timings after a Reset Low pulse in Section 11: DC and AC parameters.

Write to lock register (WRLR)
The write to lock register (WRLR) instruction allows bits to be changed in the lock registers. Before it can be accepted, a write enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been executed. After the write enable (WREN) instruction has been decoded, the device sets the write enable latch (WEL). The write to lock register (WRLR) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code, three address bytes (pointing to any address in the targeted sector and one data byte on serial data input (D). The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 16. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the data byte has been latched in, otherwise the write to lock register (WRLR) instruction is not executed. Lock register bits are volatile, and therefore do not require time to be written. When the write to lock register (WRLR) instruction has been successfully executed, the write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset after a delay time less than tSHSL minimum value. Any write to lock register (WRLR) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 16.

Deep power-down (DP)
Executing the deep power-down (DP) instruction is the only way to put the device in the lowest consumption mode (the deep power-down mode). It can also be used as an extra software protection mechanism, while the device is not in active use, since in this mode, the device ignores all write, program and erase instructions. Driving Chip Select (S) High deselects the device, and puts the device in the standby mode (if there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But this mode is not the deep power-down mode. The deep power-down mode can only be entered by executing the deep power-down (DP) instruction, subsequently reducing the standby current (from ICC1 to ICC2, as specified in Table 17). Once the device has entered the deep power-down mode, all instructions are ignored except the release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction. Issuing the release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction will cause the device to exit the deep power-down mode. The deep power-down mode automatically stops at power-down, and the device always powers-up in the standby mode. The deep power-down (DP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code on serial data input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 21. Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the eighth bit of the instruction code has been latched in, otherwise the deep power-down (DP) instruction is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High, it requires a delay of tDP before the supply current is reduced to ICC2 and the deep power-down mode is entered. Any deep power-down (DP) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 21.

Release from deep power-down (RDP)
Once the device has entered the deep power-down mode, all instructions are ignored except the release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction. Executing this instruction takes the device out of the deep power-down mode. The release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction is entered by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the instruction code on serial data input (D). Chip Select (S) must be driven Low for the entire duration of the sequence. The instruction sequence is shown in Figure 22. The release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction is terminated by driving Chip Select (S) High. Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock (C), while Chip Select (S) is driven Low, cause the instruction to be rejected, and not executed. After Chip Select (S) has been driven High, followed by a delay, tRDP, the device is put in the standby mode. Chip Select (S) must remain High at least until this period is over. The device waits to be selected, so that it can receive, decode and execute instructions. Any release from deep power-down (RDP) instruction, while an erase, program or write cycle is in progress, is rejected without having any effects on the cycle that is in progress. Figure 22.

Power-up and power-down

Power-up and power-down
At power-up and power-down, the device must not be selected (that is Chip Select (S) must follow the voltage applied on VCC) until VCC reaches the correct value:

VCC(min) at power-up, and then for a further delay of tVSL VSS at power-down
A safe configuration is provided in Section 3: SPI modes. To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power on reset (POR) circuit is included. The logic inside the device is held reset while VCC is less than the power on reset (POR) threshold voltage, VWI - all operations are disabled, and the device does not respond to any instruction. Moreover, the device ignores all write enable (WREN), page write (PW), page program (PP), page erase (PE), sector erase (SE), subsector erase (SSE), bulk erase (BE), write status register (WRSR) and write to lock register (WRLR) instructions until a time delay of tPUW has elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the VWI threshold. However, the correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if, by this time, VCC is still below VCC(min). No write, program or erase instructions should be sent until the later of:

tPUW after VCC passed the VWI threshold tVSL after VCC passed the VCC(min) level
These values are specified in Table 11. If the delay, tVSL, has elapsed, after VCC has risen above VCC(min), the device can be selected for read instructions even if the tPUW delay is not yet fully elapsed. As an extra protection, the Reset (Reset) signal could be driven Low for the whole duration of the power-up and power-down phases. At power-up, the device is in the following state:

The device is in the standby mode (not the deep power-down mode). The write enable latch (WEL) bit is reset. The write in progress (WIP) bit is reset The lock registers are reset (write lock bit, lock down bit) = (0, 0)
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail decoupling, to stabilize the VCC supply. Each device in a system should have the VCC line decoupled by a suitable capacitor close to the package pins (generally, this capacitor is of the order of 100 nF). At power-down, when VCC drops from the operating voltage, to below the power on reset (POR) threshold voltage, VWI, all operations are disabled and the device does not respond to any instruction. The designer needs to be aware that if a power-down occurs while a write, program or erase cycle is in progress, some data corruption can result.

Driving Reset (Reset) Low while an internal operation is in progress will affect this operation (write, program or erase cycle) and data may be lost.
