W25Q32 refers to a specific model of serial flash memory produced by Winbond Electronics Corporation. In particular, the "W25Q32" is part of the W25Q series, which consists of a range of flash memory chips differing in capacity and features.
Standard SPI Instructions:
The W25Q32JV is accessed through an SPI-compatible bus consisting of four signals: Serial Clock (CLK), Chip Select (/CS), Serial Data Input (DI), and Serial Data Output (DO). Standard SPI instructions use the DI
input pin to serially write instructions, addresses, or data to the device on the rising edge of CLK. The DO output pin reads data or status from the device on the falling edge of CLK. SPI bus operation Mode 0 (0,0) and 3 (1,1) are supported. The primary difference between Mode 0 and
Mode 3 concerns the normal state of the CLK signal when the SPI bus master is on standby and data is not being transferred to the Serial Flash. For Mode 0, the CLK signal is typically low on the falling and rising
edges of /CS. For Mode 3, the CLK signal is usually high on the falling and rising edges of /CS.
Dual SPI Instructions:
The W25Q32JV supports Dual SPI operation when using instructions such as "Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh)" and "Fast Read Dual I/O (BBh)". These instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device
at two to three times the rate of ordinary Serial Flash devices. The Dual SPI Read instructions are ideal for quickly downloading code to RAM upon power-up (code-shadowing) or for executing non-speed-critical
code directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Dual SPI instructions, the DI and DO pins become bidirectional I/O pins: IO0 and IO1.
Quad SPI Instructions:
The W25Q32JV supports Quad SPI operation when using instructions such as "Fast Read Quad Output (6Bh)" and "Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh). These instructions allow data to be transferred to or from the device
four to six times the rate of ordinary Serial Flash. The Quad Read instructions offer a significant improvement in continuous and random access transfer rates, allowing fast code-shadowing to RAM or
execution directly from the SPI bus (XIP). When using Quad SPI instructions, the DI and DO pins become bidirectional IO0 and IO1, and the /WP and /HOLD pins become IO2 and IO3 respectively. Quad SPI
instructions require the non-volatile Quad Enable bit (QE) in Status Register-2 to be set.
Hold Function:
For Standard SPI and Dual SPI operations, the /HOLD signal allows the W25Q32JV operation to be paused while actively selected (when /CS is low). The /HOLD function may be helpful in cases where the SPI
data and clock signals are shared with other devices. For example, consider if the page buffer was only partially written when a priority interrupt requires using the SPI bus. In this case, the /HOLD function can
save the state of the instruction and the data in the buffer so programming can resume where it left off once the bus is available again. The /HOLD function is only available for standard SPI and Dual SPI operation, not during Quad SPI. The Quad Enable Bit QE in Status Register-2 determines if the pin is used as an a/HOLD pin or data I/O pin. When QE=0 (factory default), the pin is /HOLD; when QE=1, the pin will
become an I/O pin, /HOLD function is no longer available.
To initiate a /HOLD condition, the device must be selected with /CS low. A /HOLD condition will activate on the falling edge of the /HOLD signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low, the /HOLD
condition will activate after the next falling edge of CLK. The /HOLD condition will terminate on the rising edge of the /HOLD signal if the CLK signal is already low. If the CLK is not already low, the /HOLD condition
will terminate after the next falling edge of CLK. During a /HOLD condition, the Serial Data Output (DO) is high impedance, and the Serial Data Input (DI) and Serial Clock (CLK) are ignored. The Chip Select (/CS)
signal should be kept active (low) for the whole duration of the /HOLD operation to avoid resetting the internal logic state of the device.
