Product details
Overview
W25Q128JWYIR TR from Winbond is a 1.8V, 128M-bit (16MB) serial NOR flash memory with Dual/Quad SPI, QPI, and DTR read support, organized as 65,536 × 256-byte pages. It delivers up to 133MHz Quad I/O clocking, 532MHz equivalent bandwidth, and 66MB/s continuous read throughput. Designed for code execution (XIP), firmware storage, and parameter retention in space-constrained industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q128JWYIR TR datasheet, W25Q128JWYIR TR pinout, W25Q128JWYIR TR application, or W25Q128JWYIR TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.7–1.95V supply range, hardware /WP and /HOLD pins (in non-Quad mode), 4KB uniform sector architecture, JEDEC ID and 64-bit unique ID support, and industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +105°C).
Technical Context
The W25Q128JWYIR TR implements a flexible SPI command set supporting Standard, Dual, Quad, and QPI protocols - with Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2 controlling IO2 (/WP) and IO3 (/HOLD) remapping. Its DTR (Double Transfer Rate) mode enables high-speed reads using both clock edges, achieving 532MHz effective throughput under Quad I/O Fast Read instructions (EDh).
It features three 256-byte Security Registers with OTP locks, programmable block/sector protection (BP2–BP0, TB, SEC, CMP), Erase/Program Suspend & Resume, and SFDP (Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters) register for runtime configuration discovery. The device supports hardware reset only on packages with dedicated /RESET (e.g., SOIC-16, TFBGA), while 8-pin variants use IO3 for /HOLD or configurable /RESET via status bits.

Pinout & Package
W25Q128JWYIR TR is supplied in an 8-pad WSON 6×5-mm package (Package Code P), with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 = /CS, Pin 2 = DO (IO1), Pin 3 = /WP (IO2), Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = DI (IO0), Pin 6 = CLK, Pin 7 = /HOLD or /RESET (IO3), Pin 8 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; places DO/IOs in high-Z when deasserted; required high-to-low transition after power-up before instruction acceptance |
| DO (IO1) | Data Output / Bidirectional I/O | Unidirectional output in Standard SPI; bidirectional I/O1 in Dual/Quad modes; used for status/data reads on falling CLK edge |
| /WP (IO2) | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional I/O | Hardware lock for Status Register writes when QE=0; becomes IO2 in Quad mode (QE=1); active-low |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary signal and power return path; must be low-impedance for stable timing and noise immunity |
| DI (IO0) | Data Input / Bidirectional I/O | Unidirectional input in Standard SPI; bidirectional I/O0 in Dual/Quad modes; accepts instructions/addresses on rising CLK edge |
| CLK | Serial Clock Input | Master-synchronized timing source; all SPI transfers referenced to this edge-triggered signal |
| /HOLD or /RESET (IO3) | Hold Input / Reset Input / Bidirectional I/O | Pauses ongoing transfers when low (active-low HOLD); functions as hardware reset only if configured via status register (QE=0) or on dedicated /RESET packages |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.7–1.95 V core supply; requires local 100nF decoupling; tracks /CS during power sequencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) | Reduces instruction overhead by encoding commands in 4-bit nibbles; enables true XIP with deterministic latency |
| Read Command Bypass with Wrap | Eliminates repeated address transmission; allows continuous burst reads with wrap-around addressing in ≤8 clocks |
| DTR (Double Transfer Rate) Read | Uses both rising and falling edges of CLK in Quad I/O mode (EDh/BDh), doubling effective bandwidth without increasing clock frequency |
| Individual Block/Sector Lock | Enables per-sector write-protection via 36h/39h instructions - critical for secure bootloader and configuration partitioning |
| Security Registers (3 × 256B) | OTP-lockable storage for keys, certificates, or calibration data; isolated from main array and protected by LB1–LB3 bits |
| SFDP Register Support | Provides standardized, runtime-discoverable parameters (timing, density, erase types) - simplifies driver portability across flash vendors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX25L12833FZC-10G | 3V supply (2.7–3.6V); no DTR support; max 104MHz Quad SPI; lacks SFDP and security registers | Requires separate voltage rail; unsuitable for 1.8V-only designs or DTR-dependent high-throughput pipelines | Select only if legacy 3V infrastructure exists and security/SFDP features are unnecessary |
| S25FL128SAGMFI000 | 1.8V supply; supports DTR; includes HyperBus interface option; higher pin count (16-pin SOIC); integrated ECC | Offers HyperBus for even higher bandwidth but increases PCB footprint and layout complexity | Prefer when migrating to HyperFlash-compatible platforms or requiring on-die ECC for extended reliability |
Compared with MX25L12833FZC-10G and S25FL128SAGMFI000, the W25Q128JWYIR TR uniquely balances 1.8V operation, DTR-enabled 532Mbps throughput, SFDP discoverability, and OTP-secured registers - making it optimal for new industrial and automotive designs prioritizing integration density and firmware security.

FAQ
What is the package type and footprint of W25Q128JWYIR TR?
W25Q128JWYIR TR uses an 8-pad WSON 6×5-mm package (Package Code P) with exposed thermal pad. It has standard 0.5-mm pitch, 2.1-mm body width, and 3.0-mm body length. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained industrial and automotive modules, and is compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
Does W25Q128JWYIR TR support hardware reset, and how is it implemented?
W25Q128JWYIR TR does not include a dedicated /RESET pin - it uses Pin 7 (/HOLD or /RESET) in configurable mode. When Quad Enable (QE) = 0, this pin functions as /HOLD; when QE = 0 and the HOLD/RST bit (SR3[6]) is set, it operates as a hardware reset input. This behavior is documented in Section 7.1.13 of the datasheet and requires explicit status register programming.
How does the DTR (Double Transfer Rate) feature improve performance in W25Q128JWYIR TR?
W25Q128JWYIR TR's DTR mode uses both rising and falling edges of the clock signal during Quad I/O reads (e.g., EDh instruction), effectively doubling data transfer rate without raising clock frequency. At 133MHz, this yields 532Mbps throughput - enabling faster boot times and smoother streaming of firmware or media assets compared to standard Quad SPI.
Can W25Q128JWYIR TR be used for secure key storage, and what mechanisms are provided?
Yes - W25Q128JWYIR TR includes three 256-byte Security Registers (SR1–SR3) with OTP (One-Time Programmable) lock bits (LB1–LB3). Once locked, these registers become read-only and immune to accidental overwrite. They are electrically isolated from the main array and accessible only via dedicated instructions (42h/44h/48h), meeting requirements for storing cryptographic keys or calibration secrets.
What is the difference between W25Q128JWYIR TR and W25Q128JVSIM TR?
W25Q128JWYIR TR is rated for Industrial Plus grade (–40°C to +105°C) and uses WSON 6×5-mm (P-code) packaging, while W25Q128JVSIM TR is Industrial grade (–40°C to +85°C) in SOIC-208-mil (S-code). Both share identical electrical specs and instruction sets, but W25Q128JWYIR TR offers extended temperature tolerance and smaller footprint - critical for thermally demanding or size-constrained applications.
