Product details
Overview
W25Q128JVFIQ TR from Winbond is a 3.3V, 128M-bit (16MB) serial NOR flash memory supporting Standard/Dual/Quad SPI interfaces, organized into 65,536 × 256-byte pages with uniform 4KB sector erase capability, used for code storage, XIP execution, and firmware parameter retention in industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q128JVFIQ TR datasheet, W25Q128JVFIQ TR pinout, W25Q128JVFIQ TR application, or W25Q128JVFIQ TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Quad SPI enable (QE bit), /HOLD vs /RESET pin availability per package, 133MHz max clock rate, hardware write protection via /WP, and JEDEC SFDP compliance for auto-configuration.
Technical Context
The W25Q128JVFIQ TR implements a SPI-compatible command set with three operational modes: Standard SPI (DI/DO), Dual SPI (IO0/IO1), and Quad SPI (IO0–IO3), where Quad mode requires non-volatile QE bit (SR2[1]) to be set. It supports execute-in-place (XIP) via continuous read with wrap and fast read instructions (e.g., EBh for Quad I/O).
Its architecture includes volatile/non-volatile status registers (SR1/SR2/SR3) controlling block protection (BP2–BP0), top/bottom lock (TB), security register locks (LB1–LB3), output drive strength (DRV1/DRV0), and erase/program suspend/resume - all accessible via dedicated SPI instructions like 01h, 31h, and 11h.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 M-bit (16 MB), enabling full firmware image storage for mid-tier microcontrollers |
| Interface Support | Standard/Dual/Quad SPI with 133 MHz max CLK; enables 532 MB/s effective bandwidth in Quad I/O mode |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 4 KB sectors (4,096 total), 32 KB blocks (2,048), 64 KB blocks (256), and chip erase - critical for OTA update partitioning |
| Program/Erase Endurance | ≥100,000 cycles per sector, ensuring long-term reliability in field-updatable systems |
| Data Retention | 20+ years at +85°C, validated for industrial temperature-grade operation (-40°C to +85°C) |
| Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; typical 1 µA power-down current reduces system standby power |
| Security Features | 64-bit unique ID, three 256-byte OTP-lockable security registers, and configurable sector/block lock/unlock (36h/39h/7Eh/98h) |
Pinout & Package
W25Q128JVFIQ TR uses an 8-pin SOIC 208-mil (Package Code S) with no dedicated /RESET pin; /HOLD functionality shares Pin 7, and Quad SPI mode repurposes /WP (Pin 3) and /HOLD (Pin 7) as IO2 and IO3 respectively when QE=1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 /CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; high-impedance DO and standby current when deasserted |
| 2 DO (IO1) | Data Output / Bidirectional I/O | Unidirectional output in Standard SPI; bidirectional IO1 in Dual/Quad modes |
| 3 /WP (IO2) | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional I/O | Hardware lock for status register when low; becomes IO2 in Quad mode if QE=1 |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance for timing integrity |
| 5 DI (IO0) | Data Input / Bidirectional I/O | Unidirectional input in Standard SPI; bidirectional IO0 in Dual/Quad modes |
| 6 CLK | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered timing reference; supports Mode 0 and Mode 3 SPI bus protocols |
| 7 /HOLD (IO3) | Hold Input / Bidirectional I/O | Pauses ongoing read/write without deselecting; becomes IO3 in Quad mode if QE=1 |
| 8 VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad SPI Enable (QE bit) | Non-volatile SR2[1] bit controls IO2/IO3 assignment - essential for high-speed boot code fetch |
| Erase/Program Suspend | 75h/7Ah instructions allow background operations to pause/resume - enables real-time interrupt handling during flash writes |
| Continuous Read with Wrap | 77h instruction configures 8/16/32/64-byte burst wrap - eliminates address overhead for streaming data reads |
| Individual Sector Lock | 36h/39h commands provide per-sector OTP or volatile lock - isolates critical bootloader regions from accidental overwrite |
| SFDP Register Support | 5Ah instruction returns JEDEC JESD216-compliant parameter table - enables automatic driver configuration in Linux/Bare Metal |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX25L12833FZNI-10G | 1.8V core, 104MHz max clock, no /HOLD pin in 8-pin SOIC, lacks SFDP register | Requires level-shifting for 3.3V systems; no auto-configuration support in modern BSPs | Select only for legacy 1.8V designs where Quad SPI is unused and SFDP is unnecessary |
| S25FL128SAGMFI000 | 3.0–3.6V, 133MHz, 4KB sectors, but uses different status register map and lacks /HOLD pin in 8-pin SOIC | Requires firmware porting due to non-identical instruction set (e.g., different QE bit location) | Choose when Cypress-compatible toolchain and security model (secure factory programming) are mandated |
Compared with W25Q128JVFIQ TR, MX25L12833FZNI-10G trades voltage compatibility and configurability for lower active current, while S25FL128SAGMFI000 offers comparable performance but demands register-level firmware adaptation - neither provides identical pinout or instruction behavior in 8-pin SOIC.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the W25Q128JVFIQ TR?
The W25Q128JVFIQ TR supports up to 133 MHz for Standard, Dual, and Quad SPI operations. In Quad I/O mode using Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh), this yields an effective throughput of 532 MB/s (133 MHz × 4). This rating is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and applies to the 8-pin SOIC 208-mil package used in W25Q128JVFIQ TR.
Does the W25Q128JVFIQ TR include a hardware reset pin (/RESET)?
No, the W25Q128JVFIQ TR does not include a dedicated /RESET pin. It uses the 8-pin SOIC 208-mil package (Package Code S), which implements /HOLD on Pin 7 instead. Hardware reset is only available on SOIC-16 (Package Code F) and TFBGA packages. The W25Q128JVFIQ TR supports software reset via the 66h + 99h instruction sequence.
How is Quad SPI mode enabled on the W25Q128JVFIQ TR?
Quad SPI mode is enabled by setting the Quad Enable (QE) bit - bit 1 of Status Register-2 - using the Write Status Register-2 (31h) instruction. Once QE=1, Pins 3 (/WP) and 7 (/HOLD) become IO2 and IO3 respectively. This configuration is non-volatile and persists across power cycles unless explicitly cleared.
What package type is used in the W25Q128JVFIQ TR part number?
The W25Q128JVFIQ TR uses the 8-pin SOIC 208-mil package (Package Code S), as confirmed by Winbond's official ordering information. The "I" in the part number denotes Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C), and "Q TR" indicates tape-and-reel packaging. This package has no /RESET pin and shares /HOLD functionality on Pin 7.
Can the W25Q128JVFIQ TR be used for execute-in-place (XIP) applications?
Yes, the W25Q128JVFIQ TR supports true XIP operation via Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) and Continuous Read with Wrap (77h), enabling deterministic instruction fetch directly from flash without copying to RAM. Its 133 MHz Quad SPI clock and low-latency read timing (tV < 6 ns) meet real-time XIP requirements in Cortex-M and RISC-V systems.
