Product details
Overview
W25Q01NWZEIQ TR from Winbond is a 1G-bit (two 512M-bit stacked die) serial flash memory IC supporting Dual/Quad SPI, 1.7–1.95V single-supply operation, 133MHz max clock, and 4KB uniform sector erase. It enables XIP (execute-in-place) code execution, data storage in space-constrained embedded systems, and supports hardware reset via /RESET pin in SOIC/TFBGA packages.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR datasheet, W25Q01NWZEIQ TR pinout, W25Q01NWZEIQ TR application, or W25Q01NWZEIQ TR equivalent, key selection considerations include 4-byte addressing mode support, Quad Enable (QE) bit configuration, dual-die linear address mapping, and package-specific /RESET availability (present in ZE, SF, TB variants but functionally mapped to /HOLD in WSON).
Technical Context
The W25Q01NWZEIQ TR implements a dual-die stacked architecture with independent status registers per die (BUSY, SUS), enabling concurrent or interleaved operations across 1G-bit linear address space. It supports three SPI modes (Standard/Dual/Quad) with configurable I/O pin remapping via non-volatile QE bit in Status Register-2.
It features JEDEC-compliant manufacturer/device ID (0xEF4021), SFDP register for discoverable parameters, and three 256-byte security registers with OTP lock capability. Addressing is configurable at power-up via ADP bit (non-volatile) for 3- or 4-byte mode - no runtime switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 G-bit (2 × 512 M-bit stacked die), 128 MB total capacity |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7 V to 1.95 V - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-efficient systems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 133 MHz - supports 532 MB/s quad I/O throughput (Fast Read Quad I/O) |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 4 KB sectors (32,768 total), 32 KB/64 KB blocks - enables fine-grained firmware partitioning |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles; >20 years data retention - suitable for field-updatable firmware |
| Security Features | Three 256-byte OTP-lockable security registers; individual sector/block lock/unlock commands - meets secure boot and credential storage requirements |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
W25Q01NWZEIQ TR uses the 8-pad WSON 8×6-mm package (JEDEC MO-252, Winbond code ZE), with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are shared across SPI modes: IO0–IO3 serve as DI/DO/WP/HOLD in Standard/Dual mode, and as full quad I/O when QE=1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; high-impedance DO during deselect; required high→low transition before instruction acceptance |
| DO (IO1) | Data Output / Quad I/O 1 | Unidirectional output in Standard SPI; bidirectional I/O in Dual/Quad mode when QE=1 |
| /WP (IO2) | Write Protect Input / Quad I/O 2 | Hardware write-protection of status register; remapped to IO2 in Quad mode (QE=1) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and core logic; must be low-impedance for timing integrity |
| DI (IO0) | Data Input / Quad I/O 0 | Unidirectional input in Standard SPI; bidirectional I/O in Dual/Quad mode when QE=1 |
| CLK | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered timing reference; supports SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3; max 133 MHz |
| /HOLD or /RESET (IO3) | Hold Input / Reset Input | In WSON package: /HOLD only (active-low pause); /RESET not available - differs from SF/TB packages |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.7–1.95 V supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable read/write timing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-die linear addressing | Single 32-bit address space spanning both 512M-bit dies - eliminates software address translation overhead |
| Quad I/O with QE control | Non-volatile Quad Enable bit (SR-2, bit 1) configures /WP and /HOLD as IO2/IO3 - enables 4-line data transfer without external logic |
| Erase/program suspend | 75h/7Ah instructions allow background erase or program to pause/resume - critical for real-time interrupt handling |
| Individual sector lock | 36h/39h/3Dh commands provide per-sector write protection - supports secure bootloader + application partitioning |
| Unique ID per die | Two independent 64-bit serial numbers (one per die) - enables device-level traceability and anti-cloning |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| W25Q01JWZEIQ | Same density, voltage, and pinout; differs in die stack configuration (single 1G-bit die vs. dual 512M-bit) and lacks per-die unique IDs | No independent die status reporting; no dual-die suspend/resume concurrency | Select W25Q01JWZEIQ only if linear addressing simplicity outweighs need for die-level diagnostics or concurrent operations |
| MX25L1G45GZUI | 1G-bit, 1.65–2.0V, 133MHz, SOIC/TFBGA; lacks /RESET in WSON; no dual-die architecture or per-die unique IDs | Lower security register count (1×256B vs. 3×256B); no individual sector lock commands (36h/39h) | Choose MX25L1G45GZUI for cost-sensitive designs where OTP security and die-level traceability are non-critical |
Compared with W25Q01JWZEIQ and MX25L1G45GZUI, the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR uniquely delivers dual-die linear addressing with independent status registers and two 64-bit unique IDs - essential for secure, high-reliability firmware architectures requiring die-level fault isolation and cryptographic binding.

FAQ
What is the package type and footprint of the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR?
The W25Q01NWZEIQ TR uses an 8-pad WSON 8×6-mm package (JEDEC MO-252, Winbond code ZE) with exposed thermal pad. It has identical footprint and solder mask layout to industry-standard WSON-8 packages, including compatible reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pinout matches Figure 1a in the official datasheet.
Does the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR support hardware reset, and how is it implemented?
No - the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR in WSON-8 package (ZE) does not include a dedicated /RESET pin. The /HOLD pin (Pin 7) serves only as hold input. Hardware reset is available only on SOIC-16 (SF) and TFBGA-24 (TB) variants. For W25Q01NWZEIQ TR, system-level reset must use software reset (66h + 99h) or power cycle.
How does the dual-die architecture of the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR affect addressing and command execution?
The W25Q01NWZEIQ TR presents a unified 32-bit linear address space (0x00000000–0x07FFFFFF). Internally, addresses above 0x03FFFFFF map to the second die. Both dies share instruction decoding but maintain independent status registers (BUSY, SUS), enabling true concurrent erase/program operations across dies when using con-current commands (e.g., 25h).
What is required to enable Quad SPI mode on the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR?
To enable Quad SPI on the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR, the non-volatile Quad Enable (QE) bit (Status Register-2, bit 1) must be set to '1' using Write Status Register-2 (31h) instruction. Once set, /WP (Pin 3) and /HOLD (Pin 7) become IO2 and IO3. QE remains active after power cycle unless explicitly cleared.
Can the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR be used in place of older W25Q80 or W25Q16 devices without design changes?
No - the W25Q01NWZEIQ TR is not pin-compatible or drop-in replaceable with W25Q80/W25Q16 due to higher density, dual-die architecture, mandatory 4-byte addressing support, and different security register layout. Firmware must be updated to handle 32-bit addressing, QE bit initialization, and dual-die status polling. PCB layout requires verification of /HOLD pin usage and VCC decoupling.
