Micron Serial NOR Flash Memory
3V, Multiple I/O, 4KB Sector Erase
N25Q256A
Features
SPI-compatible serial bus interface
Double transfer rate (DTR) mode
2.7–3.6V single supply voltage
108 MHz (MAX) clock frequency supported for all
protocols in single transfer rate (STR) mode
54 MHz (MAX) clock frequency supported for all
protocols in DTR mode
Dual/quad I/O instruction provides increased
throughput up to 54 MB/s
Supported protocols
Extended SPI, dual I/O, and quad I/O
DTR mode supported on all
Execute-in-place (XIP) mode for all three protocols
Configurable via volatile or nonvolatile registers
Enables memory to work in XIP mode directly af-
ter power-on
PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND operations
Continuous read of entire memory via a single com-
mand
Fast read
Quad or dual output fast read
Quad or dual I/O fast read
Flexible to fit application
Configurable number of dummy cycles
Output buffer configurable
Software reset
3-byte and 4-byte addressability mode supported
64-byte, user-lockable, one-time programmable
(OTP) dedicated area
An additional reset pin is available on the following
devices
N25Q256A83ESF40x, N25Q256A83E1240x,

Write protection
Software write protection applicable to every
64KB sector via volatile lock bit
Hardware write protection: protected area size
defined by five nonvolatile bits (BP0, BP1, BP2,
BP3, and TB)
Additional smart protections, available upon re-
quest
