Product details
Overview
W25Q128JVEIQ TR from Winbond is a 128M-bit (16MB) serial NOR flash memory IC supporting Standard, Dual, and Quad SPI interfaces with up to 133 MHz clock frequency, 4KB uniform sector architecture, and hardware write protection via /WP and /HOLD pins - deployed in embedded boot code storage, firmware update partitions, and XIP-capable microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q128JVEIQ TR datasheet, W25Q128JVEIQ TR pinout, W25Q128JVEIQ TR application, or W25Q128JVEIQ TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Quad SPI enable (QE bit), 2.7–3.6V single-supply operation, -40°C to +105°C industrial-plus temperature grade, and 100K program-erase cycle endurance per sector.
Technical Context
The W25Q128JVEIQ TR implements a flexible SPI command set including Standard (DI/DO), Dual (IO0/IO1), and Quad (IO0–IO3) modes, with QE bit in Status Register-2 enabling Quad I/O functionality. Its internal architecture features a 65,536-page (256-byte/page) array, 4,096 erasable 4KB sectors, and 256 erasable 64KB blocks.
It supports JEDEC-standard manufacturer/device ID (9Fh), SFDP register (5Ah), and 64-bit unique serial number (4Bh). Security functions include three 256-byte OTP-lockable security registers, individual sector/block lock (36h/39h), global lock (7Eh/98h), and volatile/non-volatile status register bits for BP, TB, SEC, CMP, SRP, and DRV control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
W25Q128JVEIQ TR uses an 8-pad WSON 6×5-mm package (Package Code P), with exposed thermal pad. 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 (IO3); Pin 8 is VCC. /HOLD doubles as IO3 in Quad mode when QE=1; /WP doubles as IO2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /CS (Pin 1) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable: asserts device interface; high-impedance DO during deselect; required high→low transition before instruction acceptance. |
| DO (IO1) (Pin 2) | Data Output / Bidirectional I/O | Standard SPI output only; becomes bidirectional IO1 in Dual/Quad mode - used for read data and status in all supported protocols. |
| /WP (IO2) (Pin 3) | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional I/O | Hardware lock for status register writes; becomes IO2 in Quad mode when QE=1 - enables 4-line data transfer path. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise in high-speed SPI timing. |
| DI (IO0) (Pin 5) | Data Input / Bidirectional I/O | Standard SPI input only; becomes bidirectional IO0 in Dual/Quad mode - carries instructions, addresses, and program data. |
| CLK (Pin 6) | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered timing reference: rising edge for input, falling edge for output - supports SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3. |
| /HOLD (IO3) (Pin 7) | Hold Input / Bidirectional I/O | Pauses active operations while /CS remains low; becomes IO3 in Quad mode when QE=1 - essential for multi-device SPI bus sharing. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic, charge pumps, and I/O buffers - requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Enable (QE) bit | Non-volatile Status Register-2 bit enabling IO2/IO3 use - required to activate full 4-line data bus for 532 MB/s throughput. |
| Erase/Program Suspend & Resume | 75h/7Ah instructions allow background erase or program to pause/resume - critical for real-time systems requiring deterministic latency. |
| Individual Sector/Block Lock | 36h/39h commands provide per-sector write protection independent of BP bits - enables secure bootloader + user-app separation. |
| 64-bit Unique Serial Number | Read via 4Bh instruction - enables device-level traceability, license binding, and anti-cloning in certified industrial equipment. |
| Security Registers (3 × 256 B) | OTP-lockable regions for keys, certificates, or calibration data - protected by LB1–LB3 bits and erase/program security instructions (42h/44h/48h). |
| Continuous Read with Wrap | 77h instruction enables burst reads with 8/16/32/64-byte wrap - eliminates address overhead for streaming audio or video buffers. |

FAQ
What is the package type and footprint of W25Q128JVEIQ TR?
W25Q128JVEIQ TR uses an 8-pad WSON 6×5-mm package (JEDEC MO-241AC) with exposed thermal pad. It shares pinout compatibility with other W25Q128JV variants in SOIC-8 and WSON-8 packages, but differs from SOIC-16 and TFBGA versions that include dedicated /RESET. The footprint requires 0.5 mm pitch pads and controlled solder reflow profile per Winbond's AN-1007 guidelines.
Does W25Q128JVEIQ TR support hardware reset (/RESET pin)?
No, W25Q128JVEIQ TR does not include a dedicated /RESET pin. That function is only available on SOIC-16 (Package Code F) and TFBGA (Package Codes B/C) variants. W25Q128JVEIQ TR relies on software reset (66h + 99h instructions) or power-cycle recovery. Its /HOLD pin (Pin 7) serves as IO3 in Quad mode but cannot substitute for hardware reset.
How do I enable Quad SPI mode on W25Q128JVEIQ TR?
To enable Quad SPI on W25Q128JVEIQ TR, set the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2 using Write Status Register-2 (31h) instruction. After QE=1, /WP (Pin 3) and /HOLD (Pin 7) become IO2 and IO3 respectively. Confirm activation by reading SR2 (35h) and verifying bit 1 = 1. Note: QE is non-volatile and persists across power cycles unless cleared.
What is the minimum voltage required for W25Q128JVEIQ TR to operate reliably?
W25Q128JVEIQ TR requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.7 V for guaranteed operation across its full -40°C to +105°C temperature range. Below 2.7 V, write operations may fail, status register reads become unreliable, and Quad SPI mode may deactivate. The device enters power-down state at <1 µA below 2.0 V, but recovery requires full VCC ramp to ≥2.7 V before issuing commands.
Can W25Q128JVEIQ TR be used for execute-in-place (XIP) applications?
Yes, W25Q128JVEIQ TR supports true XIP via Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) and Continuous Read (77h) instructions. With 133 MHz clock and 4-line data bus, it delivers up to 532 MB/s effective throughput - sufficient for direct code execution on ARM Cortex-M7/M33 or RISC-V cores without copying to RAM. XIP requires controller support for Quad SPI opcodes and proper cache coherency handling.
