S UM MARY DESCR IPTION
The M25P32 is a 32Mbit (4M x 8) Serial Flash
Memory, with advanced write protection mecha-
nisms, acces se d by a high spee d SPI -compatible
bus.
The memory can be programmed 1 to 256 bytes at
a time, using the Page Progr am instruction.
The memory is organized as 64 sectors, each con-
taining 256 p ages. Each page is 256 bytes wide.
Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as con-
sisting of 16384 pages, or 4,194,304 bytes.
The whole mem ory can b e erased usi ng the Bulk
Erase instruction, or a sector a t a time, using the
Sector Erase instruction.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
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).
Serial Data I n put (D). Thi s input signal is used to
transfer data seriall y into t he devi ce. It receives in-
structions, addresses, and the data to be pro-
grammed. Values are latched on the rising edge of
Serial Clock (C).
Serial Clock (C). This input signal provides the
timing of the s erial interface. Instr uctions, address-
es, or data present at Serial Data Input (D) are
latched on the ris ing edge of Serial Clock ( C). Data
on Serial Data Output (Q) changes after the falling
edge of Serial Clock (C).
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 Pro-
gram, Erase or Write Status Register cycle is in
progress, the device wi ll b e in the Stan dby Power
mode (this is not the Deep Power-down mode).
Driving Chip Select (S) Low enables the device,
placing it in the Active Power mode.
After Power-up, a falling ed ge on Chip Select (S)
is required prior to the start of any instruction.
Hold (HOLD). The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to
pause any serial communications with the device
without deselecti ng the device.
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Ou tput
(Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D)
and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
To start the Hol d condit ion, the device must be se-
lected, wit h C h ip S e lec t (S) driven Low.
Write Protect (W). The main purpose of this in-
put signal is to freeze the size of the area of m em-
ory that is protected against program or erase
instructions (as specified by the values in t he BP2,
BP1 and BP0 bits of the Stat us Register).

SPI MODES
These dev ices can be drive n by a microcont ro ller
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 t he two modes, as shown
in Figure 6., 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)

OPERAT ING FEA TURES
Page P rogramm i ng
To program one dat a byte, two ins tructions ar e re-
quired: Write Enable (WREN), which is one byte,
and a Page Program (PP) sequence, which con-
sists of four bytes plus data. This is followed by the
internal Program cycle (of duration tPP).
To spread this overhead, the Page P rogram (PP)
instruction allows up to 256 bytes to be pro-
grammed at a time (changing bits from 1 to 0), pro-
vided that they lie in consecutive addresses on the
same page of memory.
Sector Erase and Bulk Eras e
The Page Program (PP) instruction allows bits to
be reset from 1 to 0. Before this can be applied, the
bytes of memo ry need to hav e been erased to a ll
1s (FFh). This can be achieved either a s ector at a
time, using the Sector Erase (SE) instruction, or
throughout the entire memory, using the Bulk
Erase (BE) instruction. This starts an internal
Erase cycle (of duration tSE or tBE).
The Erase instruction must be preceded by a Write
Enable (WREN) instruction.
Polling Duri ng a Write, Program or Erase Cycle
A further improvement in the time to Write Status
Register (WRSR), Program (PP) or Erase (SE or
BE) can be achieved by not waiting for the worst
case delay (tW, tPP, tSE, or tBE). The Write In
Progress (WIP) bit is provi ded in the S tatus Regis-
ter so tha t the application program can m onitor its
value, polling it to establish when the previous
Write cycle, Program cycle or Erase cycle is com-
plete.
Active Power, Standby Power and Deep
Power- Down Modes
When Chip Select (S) is Low, the device is select-
ed, and in the A ctive Power mode.
When Chip Sel ec t ( S) is High, the device is dese-
lected, but could remain i n t he Acti ve P ower mode
until all internal cycles have completed (Pro gram,
Erase, Write Status Register). The device then
goes in to the Standby Power mode. The device
consumption drops to ICC1.
The Deep Power-down mode is ente red when the
specific ins truction (the Deep Power-down (DP) in-
struction) is executed. The device consumption
drops further to ICC2. The device remains in this
mode until another specific instruction (the Re-
lease from Deep Power-down and Read Elec tron-
ic Signature (RES) instruct ion) is executed.
All other instructions are igno red while the device
is in the Deep Power-down mode. This can be
used as an ext ra soft ware protection mecha nism,
when the device is not in active use, to protect the
device from inadvertent Write, Program or Erase
instructions.
Status Reg ister
The Status Register contains a number of status
and control bits that can be read or set (as appro-
priate) by specific instructions.
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates
whether the memory is busy with a Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle.
WE L bi t. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indi-
cates the status of the int ernal Write Enable Latch.
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 Eras e instructions.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the
Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected mode. In this mode, the non-volatile bits
of the Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1, BP0)
become read-only bits.

P rotec t i on Modes
The environments where non-vol atile memory de-
vices are used can be very noisy. No SPI device
can operate correct ly in the presence of excessive
noise. To help combat this, the M25P32 features
the following data protection m echanisms:
Powe r On Reset and an internal timer (tPUW)
can provide protecti on against inadvertant
changes while the power supply is outside the
operat ing specificatio n.
Program , Erase and Write Status Regis ter
instructions are checked that they c onsi st of a
numb er of clock pulses that is a multipl e of
eight, before they are accepted for execution.
All instructions that modify data must be
prece ded by a Write Enable (WREN)
instruction to set the Write Enable Latch
(WE L) bit. This bit is returned to its reset state
by the following events:
Power-up
Write Disable (WRDI) instruction
completion
Write Status Register (WRSR) instr uction
completion
Page Progr am (PP) instruction completion
Sector Erase (SE) instruction comple tion
Bulk Erase (BE) i nstruction completion
The Bl oc k Pr o te ct (BP2, BP1, BP0 ) b its allow
part of the memory to be configured as read-
only. This is the Software Protected Mode
(SPM).
The Write Protect (W) si gnal allows the Bl ock
Protec t (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits and Status
Regi st er Write Di sable (SRWD) bit to be
protected. This is the Hardware Protected
Mode (HPM).
In addition to the low power consumption
feature, the Deep Power-down mode offers
extra software protection from inad vertant
Wri t e, Program and Erase instructions, as all
instructions are ignored ex cept one parti cular
instruction (t he Release from Deep Power-
down instruction).

Hold Condition
The Hold (HOLD) signal is used to pause any se-
rial comm unication s with the device without reset-
ting the clocking sequence. However, taking this
signal Low does not terminate any Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle t hat is currently
in progress.
To enter the Hold condition, the device must be
sele c te d , wit h C hip Select (S) Low.
The Hold condit ion start s on the falling edge of the
Hold (HOLD) signal, provided that this coincides
with Serial Clock (C) bei ng L ow (as shown in Fig-
ure 7.).
The Hold condition ends on the rising edge of the
Hold (HOLD) signal, provided that this coincides
with Serial Clock (C) being Low.
If the falling edge does not coincide with Serial
Clock (C) being Low, the Hold condition s tarts af-
ter Serial Clock (C) nex t goes Low. Simil arly, if the
rising edge does not coi ncide with Seri al Clock (C)
being Low, the Hold condition ends after Serial
Clock (C) next goes Low. (This is shown in Figure
7.).
During the Hold condition, the Serial Data Ou tput
(Q) is high impedance, and Serial Data Input (D)
and Serial Clock (C) are Don’t Care.
Normally, the device is kept selected, with Chip
Select (S) driven Low, for the whole duration of the
Hold condition. This is to ensure that the state of
the internal logic remains unchanged f rom the mo-
ment of entering the Hold condition.
If Chip Select ( S) go es High while t he d ev ice is in
the Hold c ondition, this has the effect of resett ing
the internal logic of the device. To restart commu-
nication with the device, it is necessary to drive
Hold (HOLD) High, and then to drive Chip Select
(S) Low. This prevent s t he device from going back
to the Ho ld condition.

INSTRUCTIONS
All instructions, addresses and data are s hifted in
and out of the device, most significant bit f irst.
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 t o the device, most signif icant bit
first, on Serial Data Input (D), each bit being
latched on the rising edges of Serial Clock (C).
The instruct i on set is listed in Tab le 4..
Every instruction sequence s tarts with a one-byte
instruction code. Depending on the instruction,
this might be f ollowed 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
Status Register (RDSR), Read Identification
(RDID) or Release from Deep Power-down, and
Read Electronic Signature (RES) instruction, the
shifted-in instruction sequence is followed by a
data-out sequenc e. Chip Select (S) c an be driven
High after any b it of the dat a-out sequence is be-
ing shifted out.
In the case of a Page Program (PP), Sector Erase
(SE), Bulk Erase (BE), Write Status Register
(WRSR), Write Enable (WREN), Write Disable
(WRDI) or Deep Power-down (DP) instruction,
Chip Select (S) must be driven High exactly at a
byte bounda ry, otherwise the instruction is reject-
ed, 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 ex act
multiple of eight.
All attempts to access t he memory arra y du ring a
Write Status Register cycle, Program cycle or
Erase cycle are ignored, and the internal Write
Status Register cycle, Program cycle or Erase cy-
cle cont i nues unaf fected.

Read Identification (RDID)
The Read Identification (RDID) instruction allows
the 8-bit manufacturer identification to be read, fol-
lowed by two bytes of device identification. The
manufacturer identification is assigned by JEDEC,
and has the value 20h for STMicroelectronics. The
device identification is assigned by the device
manufacturer, and indicates the memory type in
the first by te (20h), and the memory capacity of the
device in the second byte (16h).
Any Read Identification (RDID) instruction while
an Erase or Program cycle is in progress, is not
decoded, and has no ef fect on the cycle that is in
progress.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Sele ct
(S) Low. Then, the 8-bit i nst ruction code for the i n-
struction is shi fted in. This is followed by the 24-bit
device identification, stored in the memory, be ing
shifted out on Serial Data Output (Q), each b it be-
ing shifted out during the falling edge of Serial
Clock (C).
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 11..
The Read Identification (RDID) instruction is termi-
nated b y driving Chip Select ( S) High at any time
during data output.
When Chip Select (S) i s dri ven Hi gh, the device is
put in the Standby Power mode. Once in the
Standby Power mode, the device waits to be se-
lected, so that it can receive, decode and execut e
instructions.

Read Status Register (RDSR)
The Read Status Register (RDSR) instruction al-
lows the Status Register to be read. The Status
Register may be read at any time, even while a
Program, Eras e or Writ e Status Register cycle is in
progress. When one of these cycl es i s in pr ogress,
it is recommended to check the Write I n Progress
(WIP) bit before sending a new instruction to the
device. It is also possibl e to read the Status Reg-
ister continuously, as shown in Figure 12..
Table 6. Status Regi ster Format
The status and cont rol bits of t he Status Register
are as fol l ows:
WIP bit. The Write In Progress (WIP) bit indicates
whether the memory is busy with a Write Status
Register, Program or Erase cycle. When set to 1,
such a cycle is in progress, when reset to 0 no
suc h cycle is in pro gress.
WE L bi t. The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit indi-
cates the status of the int ernal Write Enable Latch.
When set to 1 the internal Write Enable Latch is
set, when s et to 0 the inte rnal W r ite Enabl e Latch
is reset and no Write Status Reg ister, P rogram or
Erase instruction is accepted.
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) in-
struction. When one or more o f the Block Protect
(B P2, BP1, BP0) bit s i s set t o 1, the rel evan t me m-
ory area (as defined in Table 2.) bec omes protect-
ed against Page Progra m (PP) and Sector Erase
(SE) instructions. The Block Protect (BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits can be written provided that the Hard-
ware Protected m ode has not been set. T he Bulk
Erase (BE) instruction is executed if, and only if, all
Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits are 0.
SRWD bit. The Status Register Write Disable
(SRWD) bit is operated in conjunction with the
Write Protect (W) signal. The Status Register
Write Disable (SRWD) bit and Write Protect (W)
signal allow the device to be put in the Hardware
Protected mode (when the Status Register Write
Disable (SRWD) bit is set to 1, and Write Protect
(W) is driven Low). In this mode, the non-volatile
bits of the Status Register (SRWD, BP2, BP1,
BP0) bec ome read-on ly bits and t he Write S tatus
Register (WRSR) instruction is no longer accepted
for execution.

Write Status Regist er (WRSR)
The Write Status Register (WRSR) instruction al-
lows new val ues to be written to the Status Regis-
ter. Before it can be accepted, a Write Enable
(WREN) instruction must previously have been ex-
ecuted. After the Wri te Enable (WREN) instruction
has been d ecoded and ex ecuted, the de vice 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 dat a byt e on Serial
Data Input (D).
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 13..
The Write Stat us Regi ster (WRSR) i nstruction has
no effect on b6, b5, b1 and b0 of the Status Reg-
ister. 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 W rite Status Regi ster (WRSR) i nstruction
is not executed. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driv-
en Hi gh, th e self -timed Write Status Regist er cycl e
(whose du ration is t W) is init iate d. Wh ile the Wr ite
Status Register cycle is in progress, the Status
Register may still be read to check t he value of the
Write In P rogress (WIP) bi t. T he 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 al-
lows the user to change the values of the Block
Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits, to define the size of
the area that is to b e treated as read-only, as de-
fined in Table 2.. The Write Status Register
(WRSR) instruction also allows the user to set or
reset the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit in accordance with the Write Protect (W) signal.
The Status Register Wri te Disable (SRWD) bit and
Write Protect (W) signal allow the device to be put
in the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM). The Write
Status Register (WRSR) in struction is n ot execu t-
ed once the Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) is
entered.

Note: 1. As def i ned by th e values in the Block Pr ot ect (BP2, BP1, BP 0) bits of th e Status Registe r, as shown in Tabl e 2..
The prot ection f eatures of t he device are su mma-
rized in Table 7..
When the Status Register Write Disable (SRWD)
bit of the Status Register is 0 (its initial delivery
state), it is possible to write to the Status Regi ster
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has
previously been set by a Write Enable (WREN) in-
struction, rega rd less of th e whether W rite Prote ct
(W) i s 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 st ate of
Write Protect (W):
If Wr ite Protect (W) is driven High, it is
pos sible to write to the Status Register
provided that the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit
has previously been set by a Write E nable
(WREN ) instruction.
If Wr ite Protect (W) is driven Low, it is not
poss ible to write to the Status Regist er even if
the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit has
previously been set by a Write Enable
(WREN ) instruction. (Attempts to write to th e
Stat us Register are rejected, and are not
accept ed for execution). As a consequence,
all the data bytes in the memory area t hat are
software protected (SPM) by the Block Protect
(BP2, BP1, BP0) bits of the St atus Register,
are also hardware protected agai nst 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 th e Status Register Writ e Disable
(SRWD) bit.
The only way to exit the Hardware Protect ed Mode
(HPM) once entered is to pull Write Protect (W)
High.
If Write Protect (W) is permanently tied High, the
Hardware Protected Mode (HPM) can never be
activated, and only the Software Protected Mode
(SPM), using the Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0)
bits of the Status Register, can be used.

Read Data Bytes (READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Sele ct
(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 dur ing
the rising edge of Serial Cl ock (C). Then the mem-
ory contents , at that address, is shifted out on Se-
rial Data Output (Q), eac h b it bein g s hifted out, at
a maximum frequency fR, during the falling edge of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 14..
The first byte addressed can be at any location.
The address is automatically incremented to the

with a singl e Read Data Byt es (READ) i nst ruction.
When the highes t 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 termi-
nated by driving Chi p Select (S) High. Chip Select
(S) can be driven High at any time during data out-
put. Any Read Data Bytes (READ) instruction,
while an Erase, Program or Write cycle is in
progress, is rej ected without having any ef fects on
th e cycle tha t is in pro gr es s.

Read Data Bytes at H igher Speed
(FAST_READ)
The device is first selected by driving Chip Sele ct
(S) Low. The instruction code for the Read Data
Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) instruction
is followed by a 3-byte address (A23-A0) and a
dummy byte, each bit being latched-in during the
rising edge of S erial 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 edg e of
Serial Clock (C).
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 15..
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 shift-
ed out. The whole memory can, ther efore, be read
with a single Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed
(FAST_READ) instruction. When the highest ad-
dress is reached, the address counter rolls over to
000000h, allowing the read sequence to be contin-
ued indefinitely.
The Read Data Bytes at Higher Speed
(FAST_READ) instruction is terminated by driving
Chip Select (S) High. Chip Select (S) can be driv-
en High at any time during data output. Any Read
Data Bytes at Higher Speed (FAST_READ) in-
struction, while an Erase, Program or Write cycle
is in progress, is rejected without having any ef-
fects on the cycle that is in progress.

Page Program (PP)
The Page Pr ogram (PP) instruction allows bytes to
be programmed in the memory ( changing bits from
1 to 0). Before i t can be acc epted, a Wri te Enab le
(WREN) instruction must previously have been ex-
ecuted. After the Wri te Enable (WREN) instruction
has been decoded , the device sets the Write En-
able Latch (WEL).
The Page Program (PP) instruction is entered by
driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the in-
struction 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 dat a that goes beyond the end
of the current page are programmed from the st ar t
address of the same page (from the address
whose 8 l east si gnificant bits (A7-A0) are all zero).
Chip Select ( S) must be driven Low for the entire
duration of the seq uenc e.
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 16..
If more than 256 bytes are sent to the device, pre-
viously latched data are discarded and the last 256
data bytes are guaranteed to be programmed cor-
rectly within the sam e page. If less than 2 56 Dat a
bytes are sent to device, they are correctly pro-
grammed at the request ed addres ses without hav-
ing any effects on the other bytes of the same
page.
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bi t of the last data byte has been l atched in,
otherwise the Page Program (PP) instr uction is not
executed.
As soon as Chip Select (S ) is dr iv en Hi gh, th e self -
timed Page Pr ogram cycle (wh os e dura ti o n is tPP)
is initiated. While the Page Program cycle is in
progress, the Status Register may be read to
check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit .
The Write In Progress ( WIP) bit is 1 during the self-
timed Page Program cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enabl e Latch (WEL)
bit is rese t.
A Page Program (PP) instruction applied to a page
which is protected by the B lock Protect (BP2, BP1,
BP0) bits (see Table 2. and Table 3. ) is not ex ec ut-
ed.

Sector Erase (SE)
The Sector E rase (SE) instruction sets t o 1 (FFh)
all bits inside the chosen sector. Before it can be
accepted, a Write Enable (WREN) instruction
must previously have been executed. After the
Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been decod-
ed, the device sets the Wr ite Enable Latch (WEL).
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by
driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the in-
struction code, and three address by tes on Serial
Data Input (D). Any address inside the Sector (see
Table 3.) is a valid address for the Sector Erase
(SE) instruction. Chip Select (S) must be driven
Low for th e entire duration of the sequence.
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 17..
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bit of the last address byt e has been latched
in, otherwise the Sector Erase (SE) instruction is
not executed. As soon as Chip Sel ect (S) is driven
High, the self-timed Sector E rase cycle (whose du-
ration is tSE) is initiated. While the Sector Erase cy-
cle is in progress, the Stat us Register may be read
to check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP)
bit. The Wri t e In Progress (WIP) bit is 1 dur ing the
self-timed Secto r Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is
completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enabl e Latch (WEL)
bit is rese t.
A Sector Erase (SE) in struction applied to a p age
which is protected by the B lock Protect (BP2, BP1,

Bulk Erase ( BE)
The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction sets all bits to 1
(FFh). Before it can be accepted, a Write Enab le
(WREN) instruction must previously have been ex-
ecuted. After the Wri te Enable (WREN) instruction
has been decoded , the device sets the Write En-
able Latch (WEL).
The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is entered by driv-
ing 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 instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 18..
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bi t of the instruction code has been l atched
in, otherwise the Bulk Erase instruction is not exe-
cuted. As soon as Chip Select (S) is driven High,
th e self-timed Bulk Era se cycle (whose durat ion i s
tBE) is initiated. While the Bulk Erase cycle is in
progress, the Status Register may be read to
check the value of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit .
The Write In Progress ( WIP) bit is 1 during the self-
timed Bulk Erase cycle, and is 0 when it is com-
pleted. At some unspecified time before the cycle
is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is
reset.
The Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is executed only if
all Block Protect (BP2, BP1, BP0) bits a re 0. The
Bulk Erase (BE) instruction is ignored if one, or
more, sectors are protected.

Deep Power-down (DP)
Executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instruction
is the only way to put the device in t he lowest con-
sumption 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 Eras e instructions.
Driving Chip Select (S) High deselects the device,
and puts the device i n the Standby Power mode (if
there is no internal cycle currently in progress). But
this mode is not t he Deep Power-down mode. The
Deep Power-down mode can only be entered by
executing the Deep Power-down (DP) instru ction,
subsequently reducing the standby current (from
ICC1 to ICC2, as specified in Table 13.).
Once the device has entered the Deep Power-
down mode, all instructions are ignored except the
Release from Deep Power-down and Read Elec-
tronic Signature (RES) instruction. This releases
the device from this mode. The Release from
Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature
(RES) instruction al so allows the Electronic Signa-
ture of the device to be output on Serial Data Out-
put (Q).
The Deep P ower-down m ode automaticall y stops
at Power-down, and the device always Powers-up
in the S tandby Power mode.
The Deep Power-down (DP) instructi on is entered
by driving Chip Select (S) Low, followed by the in-
struction code on Serial Data Input (D). Chip Se-
lect (S) m ust be d riven Low for the entire durat ion
of the seq uenc e.
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 19..
Chip Select (S) must be driven High after the
eighth bi t of the instruction code has been l atched
in, otherwise t he Deep Power-down (DP) instruc-
tion 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 re-
jected wi th o ut havi n g any effec ts o n the cycl e tha t
is in progr ess.

Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Signature (RES)
Once the device has entered the Deep Power-
down mode, all instructions are ignored except the
Release from Deep Power-down and Read Elec-
tronic Signature (RES) instruction. Executing this
instruction takes the device out of the Deep Pow-
er-down mode.
The instruction can also be used to read, on Ser ial
Data Out put (Q), the ol d-style 8-bit El ect ronic Sig-
nature, whose value for the M25P32 is 15h.
Please note that this is not the same as, or even a
subset of, the JEDEC 16-bit Electronic Signature
that is read by the Rea d Identifier (RDID) instruc-
tion. The old-style Electronic Signature is support-
ed for reasons of backward compatibility, only, and
should not be used for new designs. New designs
should, instead, make use of the JEDEC 16-bit
Electronic Signature, and the Read Identifier
(RDID) instruction.
Except while an Erase, Program or Write Status
Register cycle is in progress, the Release from
Deep Power-down and Read Electronic Signature
(RES) instruction always provides access to the
old-style 8-bit Electronic Signature of the device,
and can be a pplie d even if the Deep Po wer-down
mode has not been entered.
Any Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Signature (RES) instruction while an
Erase, Program or Wr ite Stat us Register cycle is in
progress, is not decoded, and has no effect on the
cycle that i s in progress.
The device is first selected by driving Chip Sel ect
(S) Low. The instruction code is followed by 3
dummy bytes, each bit being latched-in on Serial
Data Input (D) during the rising edge of Serial
Clock (C). Then, the old-st yle 8-bit Elect ronic Sig-
nature, stor ed in the memory, is shifted out on Se-
rial Data Output (Q), each bit being shifted out
during the fall ing edge of Serial Clock (C).
The instruct i on sequence is shown in Figure 20..
The Release from Deep Power-down and Read
Electronic Si gnature (RES) instruction is terminat-
ed by driving Chip Select (S) High after the Elec-
tronic Signature has been read at least once.
Sending additional clock cycles on Serial Clock
(C), while Chip Select (S) is dr iven Low, cause the
Electronic Signature to be output repeatedly.
When Chip Select (S) i s dri ven Hi gh, the device is
put in the Standby Power mode. If the device was
not previously in the Deep Power-down mode, the
transition to the Standby Power mode is immedi-
ate. If the device was previously in t he Deep Pow-
er-down mode, though, the transition to the
Standby Power mode is delayed by tRES2, and
Chip Select (S) must remain High for at least
tRES2(max), as spec ified in Table 14 .. Once in the
Standby Power mode, the device waits to be se-
lected, so that it can receive, decode and execut e
instructions.

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 volt age appl ied on VCC) until V CC reac he s the
correct value:
–V
CC(min) at Power-up, and then for a further
delay of tVSL
–V
SS at P o wer-down
Usually a simple pull-up resistor on Chip Select (S)
can be used to en sure safe and proper P ower-up
and Power-down.
To avoid data corruption and inadvertent write op-
erations during Power-up, a Power On Reset
(POR) circuit i s included. Th e logic i nside the de-
vice is held reset while VCC is less than the Power
On Reset (POR) threshold voltage, V WI – all oper-
ations are disabled, and the device does not re-
spond to any instruction.
Moreover, the device ignores all Write Enable
(WREN), Page Program (PP), Sector Erase (SE),
Bulk Erase (BE) and Write Status Register
(WRSR) instructions until a time delay of tPUW has
elapsed after the moment that VCC rises above the
VWI threshold. However, the correct operation of
the device is not guaranteed if, by t his time, VCC is
still below VCC(min). No Write Status Register,
Program or Erase instructions should be sent until
the later of:
–t
PUW after VCC passed the VWI threshold
–t
VSL after VCC passed the VCC(min) level
These values are specified in Table 8..
If the delay, tVSL, has el apsed, after VCC has risen
above VCC(min), the device can be selected for
READ instructions even if the tPUW delay is not y et
fully elapsed.
At Power-up, the d evice is in the following state:
The device is in the Standby Power mode (not
the Deep Power-down m ode).
The Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
Normal precautions must be taken for supply rail
decoupli ng, to stabilize the VCC supply. Each de-
vice in a system should have the VCC rail dec ou-
pled by a suitable capacitor close to the package
pins. (Generally, this capacitor is of the order of
0.1µF).
At Power-down, when VCC drops from the operat-
ing voltage, to below the Power On Reset (POR)
threshold voltage, VWI, all operati ons are disabled
and the device does not respond to any instruc-
tion. (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.)
