Product details
Overview
W25N04KVTCIR TR from Winbond is a 4G-bit (512MB) SLC QspiNAND Flash memory IC designed for embedded storage in space-constrained systems. It supports Standard/Dual/Quad SPI interfaces, delivers up to 50 MB/s sequential read throughput, operates from 2.7–3.6 V, and features on-chip 8-bit ECC, 128KB uniform block erase, and 60,000 program/erase cycles - deployed in code shadowing, XIP execution, and firmware/data logging applications.
For engineers reviewing the W25N04KVTCIR TR datasheet, W25N04KVTCIR TR pinout, W25N04KVTCIR TR application, or W25N04KVTCIR TR equivalent, key selection considerations include SPI mode compatibility (BUF/SEQ read modes), ECC enablement and reporting, /WP and /HOLD functional behavior under WP-E bit configuration, and package-specific I/O mapping between WSON-8 and TFBGA-24 variants.
Technical Context
The W25N04KVTCIR TR implements a QspiNAND architecture combining NAND flash density with SPI protocol simplicity. Its memory array comprises 262,144 pages × 2,048 bytes, organized into 2,048 erasable 128KB blocks. Dual/Quad I/O operation enables 208 MHz (Dual) and 416 MHz (Quad) effective data rates using Fast Read instructions.
It integrates three volatile status registers (SR-1/SR-2/SR-3) and extended ECC registers (BFD/BFS/BFR/MBF) for real-time bit-flip monitoring and correction control. Configuration is managed via SPI commands including Write Status Register (1Fh/01h), with OTP-lockable protection bits (BP3–BP0, SRP1/SRP0) and programmable features like ECC-E, BUF, H-DIS, and ODS.

Pinout & Package
W25N04KVTCIR TR is supplied in an 8-pad WSON 8×6-mm package (JEDEC MO-255, package code ZE), with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are fully defined for Standard/Dual/Quad SPI operation, with /WP and /HOLD repurposed as IO2/IO3 in Quad mode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; device enters standby when high; required high-to-low transition after power-up to accept instructions |
| DI (IO0) | Serial Data Input / Quad I/O 0 | Input for Standard/Dual SPI; bidirectional I/O0 in Quad mode; used for instruction/address/data load |
| DO (IO1) | Serial Data Output / Quad I/O 1 | Output for Standard/Dual SPI; bidirectional I/O1 in Quad mode; carries read data/status during falling CLK edge |
| /WP (IO2) | Write Protect Input / Quad I/O 2 | Hardware write-protection control when WP-E=1; becomes IO2 in Quad mode when WP-E=0 |
| /HOLD (IO3) | Hold Input / Quad I/O 3 | Pauses Standard/Dual SPI transfers when low; becomes IO3 in Quad mode; requires external pull-up to avoid float |
| CLK | Serial Clock Input | Drives all SPI timing; rising edge for input, falling edge for output; supports up to 104 MHz frequency |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; powers core logic, charge pump, and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all signals and internal voltage regulation; must be low-impedance connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sequential Read Mode (BUF=0) | Enables full-array access with single Read command - eliminates address incrementing overhead in streaming use cases |
| Configurable ECC Enable (ECC-E) | Volatile bit controlling on-chip 8-bit correction; ECC status (ECC-1/ECC-0) and bit-flip counters (BFR/MBF) support runtime health monitoring |
| OTP Protection Lock (SR1-L, OTP-L) | One-time-programmable lock bits prevent reconfiguration of status register protection and OTP page programming |
| Dual/Quad I/O Flexibility | Same physical pins serve multiple roles: /WP and /HOLD become IO2/IO3 in Quad mode, simplifying PCB routing vs. parallel NAND |
| Hardware Write Protection (WP-E=1) | When /WP tied low, entire device (array, registers, OTP) becomes read-only - no software bypass possible |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar QspiNAND flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macronix MX35LF4GEIM-12G | 4G-bit QspiNAND; identical 8x6-mm TFBGA-24 (6x4) and WSON-8 packages; supports 104 MHz CLK but lacks configurable BUF/SEQ mode | No dedicated Sequential Read instruction - requires manual address incrementing for full-array access | Preferred when pinout compatibility and JEDEC ID alignment are prioritized over sequential read optimization |
| Micron MT29F4G08ABAEAWP-AIT | 4G-bit SLC NAND with built-in controller; uses standard ONFI interface, not SPI - requires separate SPI-to-NAND bridge IC | Higher pin count (48-ball TSOP), larger footprint, and external controller dependency increase BOM cost and layout complexity | Only suitable where legacy NAND controller infrastructure exists; not a drop-in replacement for W25N04KVTCIR TR |
Compared with MX35LF4GEIM-12G, W25N04KVTCIR TR offers superior sequential access efficiency via its BUF/SEQ mode; versus MT29F4G08ABAEAWP-AIT, it eliminates controller overhead and reduces system-level component count - making it optimal for SPI-native, space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the difference between Buffer Read and Sequential Read modes in W25N04KVTCIR TR?
Buffer Read mode (BUF=1, default) loads one page (2,048 bytes) into the internal buffer for random access; Sequential Read mode (BUF=0) allows continuous read across multiple pages with a single command and auto-incrementing address. This eliminates host-side address management overhead and improves throughput for large data streams - a key differentiator for firmware loading and media playback in W25N04KVTCIR TR.
Does W25N04KVTCIR TR require an external ECC controller?
No. W25N04KVTCIR TR includes configurable on-chip 8-bit ECC with status reporting (ECC-1/ECC-0) and bit-flip counters (BFR/MBF). When ECC-E=1, correction is automatic during read operations; the host can monitor cumulative errors via status registers. This eliminates the need for external ECC logic, reducing BOM cost and design complexity in W25N04KVTCIR TR implementations.
How does the /WP pin function in W25N04KVTCIR TR when WP-E is set to 1?
When WP-E=1 in W25N04KVTCIR TR, the /WP pin becomes a dedicated hardware write-protect input: tying /WP to GND disables all write/program/erase functions - including memory array, status registers, and OTP pages - making the entire device read-only. Quad SPI read operations are also disabled, enforcing strict hardware-level protection that cannot be overridden by software commands.
What package types are supported by W25N04KVTCIR TR?
W25N04KVTCIR TR is qualified in two space-saving packages: 8-pad WSON 8×6-mm (package code ZE) and 24-ball TFBGA 8×6-mm with either 5×5 (TB) or 6×4 (TC) ball arrays. The WSON variant offers lowest profile and thermal resistance; the TFBGA variants provide improved signal integrity for high-speed Quad SPI operation - both share identical pinout functionality and timing specifications.
Can W25N04KVTCIR TR execute code directly from flash (XIP)?
Yes. W25N04KVTCIR TR supports Execute-in-Place (XIP) via Dual and Quad SPI interfaces using Fast Read Dual/Quad I/O instructions (BBh/EBh). With up to 416 MHz effective clock rate and 50 MB/s sequential read bandwidth, it enables low-latency code execution without copying to RAM - ideal for resource-constrained microcontrollers in W25N04KVTCIR TR-based boot and application firmware architectures.
