Product Description
The 25 series Serial Flash family features a four-wire,
SPI-compatible interface that allows for a low pin-count
package which occupies less board space and ulti-
mately lowers total system costs. The SST25PF020B
devices are enhanced with improved operating fre-
quency and even lower power consumption.
SST25PF020B SPI serial flash memories are manu-
factured with proprietary, high-performance CMOS
SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design and
thick-oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and
manufacturability compared with alternate approaches.
The SST25PF020B devices significantly improve per-
formance and reliability, while lowering power con-
sumption. The devices write (Program or Erase) with a
single power supply of 2.3-3.6V for SST25PF020B.
The total energy consumed is a function of the applied
voltage, current, and time of application. Since for any
given voltage range, the SuperFlash technology uses
less current to program and has a shorter erase time,
the total energy consumed during any Erase or Pro-
gram operation is less than alternative flash memory
technologies.
The SST25PF020B device is offered in 8-lead SOIC
(150 mils), 8-contact WSON (6mm x 5mm), and 8-con-
tact USON (3mm x 2mm) packages. See
Figure 2-1
for
pin assignments.

DEVICE OPERATION
The SST25PF020B is accessed through the SPI (Serial
Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol. The SPI
bus consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is
used to select the device, and data is accessed through
the Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and
Serial Clock (SCK).
The SST25PF020B supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and
Mode 3 (1,1) of SPI bus operations. The difference
between the two modes, as shown in
Figure 4-1
, is the
state of the SCK signal when the bus master is in
Standby mode and no data is being transferred. The
SCK signal is low for Mode 0 and SCK signal is high for
Mode 3. For both modes, the Serial Data In (SI) is sam-
pled at the rising edge of the SCK clock signal and the
Serial Data Output (SO) is driven after the falling edge
of the SCK clock signal.
FIGURE 4-1:
SPI PROTOCOL
4.1
Hold Operation
The HOLD# pin is used to pause a serial sequence
underway with the SPI flash memory without resetting
the clocking sequence. To activate the HOLD# mode,
CE# must be in active low state. The HOLD# mode
begins when the SCK active low state coincides with
the falling edge of the HOLD# signal. The HOLD mode
ends when the HOLD# signal’s rising edge coincides
with the SCK active low state.
If the falling edge of the HOLD# signal does not coin-
cide with the SCK active low state, then the device
enters Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the
active low state. Similarly, if the rising edge of the
HOLD# signal does not coincide with the SCK active
low state, then the device exits in Hold mode when the
SCK next reaches the active low state. See
Figure 4-2
for Hold Condition waveform.
Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in high-
impedance state while SI and SCK can be V
IL
or V
IH.
If CE# is driven high during a Hold condition, the device
returns to Standby mode. As long as HOLD# signal is
low, the memory remains in the Hold condition. To
resume communication with the device, HOLD# must
be driven active high, and CE# must be driven active
low. See
Figure 4-2
for Hold timing.

Write Protection
SST25PF020B provides software Write protection. The
Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lock-
down function of the status register. The Block-Protec-
tion bits (BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status register, and
the Top/Bottom Sector Protection Status bits (TSP and
BSP) in Status Register 1, provide Write protection to
the memory array and the status register. See
Table 4-
4
for the Block-Protection description.
4.2.1
WRITE PROTECT PIN (WP#)
The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down
function of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register.
When WP# is driven low, the execution of the Write-
Status-Register (WRSR) instruction is determined by
the value of the BPL bit (see
Table 4-1
). When WP# is
high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled.
4.3
Status Register
The software status register provides status on
whether the flash memory array is available for any
Read or Write operation, whether the device is Write
enabled, and the state of the Memory Write protection.
During an internal Erase or Program operation, the sta-
tus register may be read only to determine the comple-
tion of an operation in progress.
Table 4-2
describes
the function of each bit in the software status register.

Software Status Register 1
The Software Status Register 1 is an additional register that
contains Top Sector and Bottom Sector Protection bits.
These register bits are read/writable and determine the lock
and unlock status of the top and bottom sectors.
Table 4-3
describes the function of each bit in the Software Status
Register 1.
4.4.1
BUSY
The Busy bit determines whether there is an internal
Erase or Program operation in progress. A “1” for the
Busy bit indicates the device is busy with an operation
in progress. A “0” indicates the device is ready for the
next valid operation.
4.4.2
WRITE ENABLE LATCH (WEL)
The Write-Enable-Latch bit indicates the status of the
internal memory Write Enable Latch. If the Write-
Enable-Latch bit is set to “1”, it indicates the device is
Write enabled. If the bit is set to “0” (reset), it indicates
the device is not Write enabled and does not accept
any memory Write (Program/Erase) commands. The
Write-Enable-Latch bit is automatically reset under the
following conditions:
• Power-up
• Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction completion
• Byte-Program instruction completion
• Auto Address Increment (AAI) programming is
completed or reached its highest unprotected
memory address
• Sector-Erase instruction completion
• Block-Erase instruction completion
• Chip-Erase instruction completion
• Write-Status-Register instruction completion
4.4.3
AUTO ADDRESS INCREMENT (AAI)
The Auto Address Increment Programming-Status bit
provides status on whether the device is in AAI pro-
gramming mode or Byte-Program mode. The default at
power up is Byte-Program mode.
4.4.4
BLOCK PROTECTION (BP1, BP0)
The Block-Protection (BP1, BP0) bits define the size of
the memory area, as defined in
Table 4-4
, to be software
protected against any memory Write (Program or Erase)
operation. The Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruc-
tion is used to program the BP1 and BP0 bits as long as
WP# is high or the Block-Protect-Lock (BPL) bit is 0.
Chip-Erase can only be executed if Block-Protection bits
are all 0. After power-up, BP1 and BP0 are set to 1.

BLOCK PROTECTION LOCK-DOWN
(BPL)
WP# pin driven low (V
IL
), enables the Block-Protection-
Lock-Down (BPL) bit. When BPL is set to 1, it prevents
any further alteration of the BPL, BP1, and BP0 bits of
the status register and BSP and TSP of Status Register
1. When the WP# pin is driven high (V
IH
), the BPL bit
has no effect and its value is “Don’t Care”. After power-
up, the BPL bit is reset to 0.
4.4.6
TOP-SECTOR PROTECTION/
BOTTOM-SECTOR PROTECTION
The Top-Sector Protection (TSP) and Bottom-Sector
Protection (BSP) bits independently indicate whether
the highest and lowest sector locations are Write
locked or Write accessible. When TSP or BSP is set to
‘1’, the respective sector is Write locked; when set to ‘0’
the respective sector is Write accessible. If TSP or BSP
is set to '1' and if the top or bottom sector is within the
boundary of the target address range of the program or
erase instruction, the initiated instruction (Byte-Pro-
gram, AAI-Word Program, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase,
and Chip-Erase) will not be executed. Upon power-up,
the TSP and BSP bits are automatically reset to ‘0’.

Instructions
Instructions are used to read, write (Erase and Pro-
gram), and configure the SST25PF020B. The instruc-
tion bus cycles are 8 bits each for commands (Op
Code), data, and addresses. Prior to executing any
Byte-Program, Auto Address Increment (AAI) program-
ming, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, Write-Status-Regis-
ter, or Chip-Erase instructions, the Write-Enable
(WREN) instruction must be executed first. The com-
plete list of instructions is provided in
Table 4-5
. All
instructions are synchronized off a high to low transition
of CE#. Inputs will be accepted on the rising edge of
SCK starting with the most significant bit. CE# must be
driven low before an instruction is entered and must be
driven high after the last bit of the instruction has been
shifted in (except for Read, Read-ID, and Read-Status-
Register instructions). Any low to high transition on
CE#, before receiving the last bit of an instruction bus
cycle, will terminate the instruction in progress and
return the device to standby mode. Instruction com-
mands (Op Code), addresses, and data are all input
from the most significant bit (MSB) first.

READ (33/25 MHZ)
The Read instruction, 03H, supports up to 33 MHz (2.7-
3.6V operation) or 25 MHz (2.3-2.7V operation) Read.
The device outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses until terminated by a low to high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically incre-
ment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. Once the data from address location 3FFFFH
has been read, the next output will be from address
location 000000H.
The Read instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit
command, 03H, followed by address bits [A
23
-A
0
]. CE#
must remain active low for the duration of the Read
cycle. See
Figure 4-3
for the Read sequence.
FIGURE 4-3:

4.5.2
HIGH-SPEED-READ (80/50 MHZ)
The High-Speed-Read instruction, supporting up to 80
MHz (2.7-3.6V operation) or 50 MHz (2.3-2.7V opera-
tion) Read, is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
0BH, followed by address bits [A
23
-A
0
] and a dummy
byte. CE# must remain active low for the duration of the
High-Speed-Read cycle. See
Figure 4-4
for the High-
Speed-Read sequence.
Following a dummy cycle, the High-Speed-Read
instruction outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses until terminated by a low to high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically incre-
ment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. Once the data from address location 3FFFH
has been read, the next output will be from address
location 00000H.

BYTE-PROGRAM
The Byte-Program instruction programs the bits in the
selected byte to the desired data. The selected byte
must be in the erased state (FFH) when initiating a Pro-
gram operation. A Byte-Program instruction applied to a
protected memory area will be ignored.
Prior to any Write operation, the Write-Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed. CE# must remain active
low for the duration of the Byte-Program instruction.
The Byte-Program instruction is initiated by executing
an 8-bit command, 02H, followed by address bits [A
23
-
A
0
]. Following the address, the data is input in order
from MSB (bit 7) to LSB (bit 0). CE# must be driven
high before the instruction is executed. The user may
poll the Busy bit in the software status register or wait
T
BP
for the completion of the internal self-timed Byte-
Program operation. See
Figure 4-5
for the Byte-Pro-
gram sequence.
FIGURE 4-5:
BYTE-PROGRAM SEQUENCE
4.5.4
AUTO ADDRESS INCREMENT (AAI)
WORD-PROGRAM
The AAI program instruction allows multiple bytes of
data to be programmed without re-issuing the next
sequential address location. This feature decreases
total programming time when multiple bytes or entire
memory array is to be programmed. An AAI Word pro-
gram instruction pointing to a protected memory area
will be ignored. The selected address range must be in
the erased state (FFH) when initiating an AAI Word
Program operation. While within AAI Word Program-
ming sequence, only the following instructions are
valid: for software end-of-write detection—AAI Word
(ADH), WRDI (04H), and RDSR (05H); for hardware
end-of-write detection—AAI Word (ADH) and WRDI
(04H). There are three options to determine the com-
pletion of each AAI Word program cycle: hardware
detection by reading the Serial Output, software detec-
tion by polling the BUSY bit in the software status reg-
ister, or wait T
BP.
Refer to“End-of-Write Detection” for
details.
Prior to any write operation, the Write-Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed. Initiate the AAI Word
Program instruction by executing an 8-bit command,
ADH, followed by address bits [A
23
-A
0
]. Following the
addresses, two bytes of data are input sequentially,
each one from MSB (Bit 7) to LSB (Bit 0). The first byte
of data (D0) is programmed into the initial address [A
23
-
A
1
] with A
0
=0, the second byte of Data (D1) is pro-
grammed into the initial address [A
23
-A
1
] with A
0
=1.
CE# must be driven high before executing the AAI
Word Program instruction. Check the BUSY status
before entering the next valid command. Once the
device indicates it is no longer busy, data for the next
two sequential addresses may be programmed, fol-
lowed by the next two, and so on.
When programming the last desired word, or the high-
est unprotected memory address, check the busy sta-
tus using either the hardware or software (RDSR
instruction) method to check for program completion.
Once programming is complete, use the applicable
method to terminate AAI. If the device is in Software
End-of-Write Detection mode, execute the Write-Dis-
able (WRDI) instruction, 04H. If the device is in AAI
Hardware End-of-Write Detection mode, execute the
Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction, 04H, followed by the
8-bit DBSY command, 80H. There is no wrap mode
during AAI programming once the highest unprotected
memory address is reached. See Figures
4-8
and
4-9
for the AAI Word programming sequence.

END-OF-WRITE DETECTION
There are three methods to determine completion of a
program cycle during AAI Word programming: hard-
ware detection by reading the Serial Output, software
detection by polling the BUSY bit in the Software Status
Register, or wait T
BP.
The Hardware End-of-Write
detection method is described in the section below.
