Product details
Overview
W25Q128FVTIG TR from Winbond is a 3.3V, 128M-bit (16MB) serial NOR flash memory supporting Standard/Dual/Quad SPI and QPI interfaces. It features 4KB uniform sectors, 104MHz max clock frequency, 50MB/s continuous read throughput, and operates across -40°C to +85°C. It enables execute-in-place (XIP) code execution in embedded microcontrollers and stores firmware, configuration data, and boot images.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q128FVTIG TR datasheet, W25Q128FVTIG TR pinout, W25Q128FVTIG TR application, or W25Q128FVTIG TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Quad SPI enable (QE bit), /HOLD vs /RESET pin mapping per package, sector protection granularity, power-down current (<1µA), and JEDEC SFDP register compatibility for auto-configuration.
Technical Context
The W25Q128FVTIG TR implements a flexible SPI-compatible command set with hardware-supported Dual/Quad I/O modes enabled via non-volatile QE bit in Status Register-2. Its architecture supports true XIP via Continuous Read Mode with ≤8-clock instruction overhead and wrap-length options (8/16/32/64-byte).
It integrates three 256-byte security registers with OTP locks, 64-bit unique ID, and configurable write protection using volatile/non-volatile BP/TB/SEC/CMP bits. The /WP and /HOLD pins function as IO2 and IO3 respectively only when QE=0; they are repurposed for Quad I/O when QE=1.

Pinout & Package
W25Q128FVTIG TR uses an 8-pin WSON 6x5-mm package (Package Code P), with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is /CS; pin 2 is DO (IO1); pin 3 is /WP (IO2); pin 4 is GND; pin 5 is DI (IO0); pin 6 is CLK; pin 7 is /HOLD or /RESET (IO3); pin 8 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /CS (Pin 1) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable: high = device deselected (high-Z outputs, standby current); low = device selected and responsive to commands |
| DO / IO1 (Pin 2) | Data Output / Bidirectional I/O | Unidirectional output in Standard SPI; bidirectional in Dual/Quad SPI; used for status/data reads on falling CLK edge |
| /WP / IO2 (Pin 3) | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional I/O | Hardware lock for Status Register when QE=0; becomes IO2 in Quad mode (QE=1), disabling hardware WP |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and all I/O signals; must be low-impedance connection for timing integrity |
| DI / IO0 (Pin 5) | Data Input / Bidirectional I/O | Unidirectional input in Standard SPI; bidirectional in Dual/Quad SPI; accepts instructions/addresses/data on rising CLK edge |
| CLK (Pin 6) | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated timing reference for all SPI/QPI transfers; determines max interface speed (up to 104 MHz) |
| /HOLD or /RESET / IO3 (Pin 7) | Hold or Reset Input / Bidirectional I/O | HOLD pauses ongoing transfers when active low (QE=0); RESET performs hardware reset (QE=0); becomes IO3 in Quad mode (QE=1) |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; powers core logic, charge pumps, and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX25L12833FZC-10G | 128Mb density, 104MHz max clock, but lacks QPI mode and SFDP register; uses different status register layout | No native QPI support limits XIP performance in bandwidth-constrained designs; no auto-configuration capability | Select when QPI and SFDP are unnecessary and legacy Macronix toolchain compatibility is required |
| S25FL128SAGMFI000 | 128Mb density, supports Octal DTR mode (beyond Quad), includes built-in ECC; higher pin count (16-pin SOIC) | Octal DTR enables >200MB/s read rates; ECC improves reliability in high-radiation or extended-life deployments | Select for mission-critical applications needing error correction or future-proof bandwidth headroom beyond Quad SPI |
Compared with W25Q128FVTIG TR, MX25L12833FZC-10G offers identical density and speed but omits QPI and SFDP-reducing XIP efficiency and configuration flexibility. S25FL128SAGMFI000 adds ECC and Octal DTR at the cost of larger footprint and higher BOM cost, targeting higher-reliability or bandwidth-demanding use cases.

FAQ
What is the package type and lead count for W25Q128FVTIG TR?
W25Q128FVTIG TR uses an 8-pin WSON (6 mm × 5 mm) package with an exposed thermal pad. This surface-mount package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for compact PCB layouts. The "TIG" suffix explicitly denotes the WSON 6x5-mm variant, and the "TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. Pin 1 is /CS, and pin 8 is VCC, with standard SPI signal mapping confirmed in Winbond's datasheet revision M.
Does W25Q128FVTIG TR support Quad SPI mode out of the box?
No-W25Q128FVTIG TR requires the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2 to be set to '1' before Quad SPI operation is functional. By default, QE=0 after power-up or reset, so /WP and /HOLD operate as hardware control pins. Setting QE=1 reassigns those pins to IO2 and IO3, enabling four-line data transfer. This configuration is non-volatile, meaning it persists across power cycles once written.
How does the /HOLD pin behave when QE=1 in W25Q128FVTIG TR?
When QE=1 in W25Q128FVTIG TR, the /HOLD pin (Pin 7) is repurposed as IO3 for Quad SPI communication and no longer functions as a hold input. Attempting to assert /HOLD low in Quad mode has no effect-the pin becomes purely a bidirectional data line. To retain hold functionality, QE must remain 0, limiting operation to Standard or Dual SPI modes. This trade-off is documented in Section 4.4 and Figure 1a–c of the datasheet.
What is the minimum erase unit size supported by W25Q128FVTIG TR?
W25Q128FVTIG TR supports a minimum erase unit of 4 KB-corresponding to one uniform sector. The device contains 4,096 such sectors, enabling fine-grained updates without disturbing adjacent firmware or configuration data. Sector erase (20h instruction) is fully supported and commonly used for parameter storage or incremental firmware patches. Larger 32 KB and 64 KB block erases are also available for bulk operations.
Is W25Q128FVTIG TR compatible with JEDEC-standard SFDP?
Yes-W25Q128FVTIG TR implements the JEDEC JESD216 standard Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) register, accessible via instruction 5Ah. This 256-byte table provides controller firmware with programmatically readable timing parameters, voltage ranges, erase block sizes, and feature flags-enabling automatic initialization without hard-coded assumptions. SFDP support simplifies porting across flash vendors and reduces qualification effort in multi-source designs.
