ABOUT THE SOFTWARE
This application note provides software driver examples for 25VFxxx,
Serial Flash. Extensive comments are included in each routine to describe
the function of each routine. The interface coding uses polling method
rather than the SPI protocol to interface with these serial devices. The
functions are differentiated below in terms of the communication protocols
(uses Mode 0) and specific device operation instructions. This code has been
designed to compile using the Keil compiler.
ABOUT THE 25VFxxx
Companion product datasheets for the 25VFxxx should be reviewed in
conjunction with this application note for a complete understanding
of the device.
Device Communication Protocol(pinout related) functions:
Functions Function
------------------------------------------------------------------
init Initializes clock to set up mode 0.
Send_Byte Sends one byte using SI pin to send and
shift out 1-bit per clock rising edge
Get_Byte Receives one byte using SO pin to receive and shift
in 1-bit per clock falling edge
CE_High Sets Chip Enable pin of the serial flash to high
CE_Low Clears Chip Enable of the serial flash to low
Hold Clears Hold pin to make serial flash hold
Unhold Unholds the serial flash
WP Clears WP pin to make serial flash write protected
UnWP Disables write protection pin
Note: The pin names of the 25VFxxx are used in this application note. The associated test code
will not compile unless these pinouts (SCK, SI, SO, SO, CE, WP, Hold) are pre-defined on your
software which should reflect your hardware interfaced.
Device Operation Instruction functions:
Functions Function
------------------------------------------------------------------
Read_Status_Register Reads the status register of the serial flash
EWSR Enables the Write Status Register
WRSR Performs a write to the status register
WREN Write enables the serial flash
WRDI Write disables the serial flash
Read_ID Reads the manufacturer ID and device ID
Read Reads one byte from the serial flash and returns byte
Read_Cont Reads multiple bytes
Byte_Program Program one byte to the serial flash
Auto_Add_IncA Initial Auto Address Increment process
Auto_Add_IncB Successive Auto_Address_Increment process after AAI initiation
Chip_Erase Erases entire serial flash
Sector_Erase Erases one sector (4 KB) of the serial flash
Block_Erase Erases one block (32 KB) of the serial flash
Wait_Busy Polls status register until busy bit is low
Wait_Busy_AAI Polls status register until busy bit is low for AAI programming
WREN_Check Checks to see if WEL is set
WREN_AAI_Check Checks to see if WEL and AAI mode is set
