Product details
Overview
W25Q40BWZPIG TR from Winbond is a 4M-bit (512KB) serial NOR flash memory IC designed for embedded code storage and XIP (execute-in-place) applications. It operates on a single 1.65–1.95V supply, supports Standard/Dual/Quad SPI interfaces up to 80MHz clock, delivers up to 40MB/s continuous read throughput, and features uniform 4KB sector erase architecture with 128 sectors and 8 blocks.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q40BWZPIG TR datasheet, W25Q40BWZPIG TR pinout, W25Q40BWZPIG TR application, or W25Q40BWZPIG TR equivalent, key selection considerations include Quad SPI enable (QE bit), /WP and /HOLD dual-function behavior in Quad mode, 1.8V low-voltage operation, JEDEC ID and 64-bit unique serial number support, and hardware write protection via /WP pin and status register bits.
Technical Context
The W25Q40BWZPIG TR implements a SPI-compatible command set supporting Mode 0 and Mode 3 clock polarity, with dedicated instruction decoding for Standard (DI/DO), Dual (IO0/IO1), and Quad (IO0–IO3) I/O configurations. Its internal architecture includes a 256-byte page buffer, hierarchical erase control (sector/block/chip), and dual-status registers - SR1 for BUSY/WEL/BP bits and SR2 for QE/LB/CMP/SUS.
Quad SPI operation requires non-volatile setting of the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2; when enabled, /WP and /HOLD pins remap to IO2 and IO3, disabling their hardware protection functions. The device supports Erase/Program Suspend & Resume, Continuous Read Mode with wrap lengths (8/16/32/64 bytes), and JEDEC-standard Manufacturer ID (EFh), Device ID (4013h), and 64-bit Unique ID.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
W25Q40BWZPIG TR uses an 8-pad WSON 6×5 mm package (package code ZP), RoHS-compliant, with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection (AOI). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise orientation from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| /CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; high-impedance DO output and standby current (~1 µA) when high |
| DO (IO1) | Data Output / Bidirectional I/O1 | Unidirectional output in Standard SPI; bidirectional in Dual/Quad modes - used for read data and address feedback |
| /WP (IO2) | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional I/O2 | Hardware write lock for status register when QE=0; remaps to IO2 in Quad mode (QE=1), disabling /WP function |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and core logic; must be low-impedance and decoupled near VCC pin |
| DI (IO0) | Data Input / Bidirectional I/O0 | Unidirectional input in Standard SPI; bidirectional in Dual/Quad modes - carries instructions, addresses, and write data |
| CLK | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered timing reference; supports Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) |
| /HOLD (IO3) | Hold Input / Bidirectional I/O3 | Pauses active SPI transaction when low (Standard/Dual only); remaps to IO3 in Quad mode (QE=1), disabling /HOLD |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.65–1.95 V core supply; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad SPI Enable (QE bit) | Non-volatile SR2 bit enabling 4-line I/O for 320 Mbps reads - required before using 6Bh/EBh/E7h/E3h instructions |
| Continuous Read Mode | As few as 8 clocks overhead per 24-bit address - enables true XIP execution with minimal CPU wait states |
| Hardware Write Protection | Dedicated /WP pin + SR BP/TB/SEC bits - allows locking individual 4KB sectors or top/bottom array halves |
| Unique Serial Number | 64-bit factory-programmed ID per unit - supports secure boot, device authentication, and firmware binding |
| Erase/Program Suspend | 75h/7Ah instructions allow pausing long operations (e.g., 64KB block erase) to service interrupts without data loss |
| Security Registers | 4 × 256-byte OTP-locked regions - store cryptographic keys, calibration data, or license tokens with permanent write disable |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX25L4006EM1I-12G | 4 M-bit, 1.65–1.95 V, SOIC-8 only; no USON/WSON; max 50 MHz clock; lacks Unique ID and security registers | Lower-cost option where XIP performance and device identity are not required | Choose when budget constraints outweigh need for Quad SPI speed, suspend/resume, or secure boot features |
| S25FL004KAGMFI010 | 4 M-bit, 1.7–2.0 V, WSON-8; supports Quad SPI but requires volatile QE setting (lost on power cycle); no /HOLD pin remapping | Better suited for systems with simple reset-driven initialization and no requirement for persistent Quad mode | Prefer when design avoids non-volatile register writes and tolerates re-enabling QE after every power-on |
Compared with W25Q40BWZPIG TR, MX25L4006EM1I-12G offers lower cost but sacrifices Quad I/O speed, suspend/resume, and security features; S25FL004KAGMFI010 provides compatible WSON packaging and Quad support but lacks persistent QE and robust hardware write protection architecture.

FAQ
What is the package type and lead finish of W25Q40BWZPIG TR?
W25Q40BWZPIG TR uses an 8-pad WSON 6×5 mm package (ZP code) with RoHS-compliant, matte tin (Sn) lead finish and wettable flanks. This package supports automated optical inspection and is optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in industrial and automotive applications. The full part number suffix "ZPIG TR" confirms this specific WSON variant with tape-and-reel packaging.
Does W25Q40BWZPIG TR support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, W25Q40BWZPIG TR supports true XIP via its Continuous Read Mode, which reduces instruction overhead to as few as 8 clock cycles per 24-bit address. When paired with a host controller supporting Quad SPI, W25Q40BWZPIG TR enables direct code execution from flash memory - eliminating the need to copy firmware to RAM before execution and reducing system boot time.
How does the /WP and /HOLD pin behavior change in Quad SPI mode?
In W25Q40BWZPIG TR, /WP and /HOLD pins remap to IO2 and IO3 respectively when the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2 is set. This disables their hardware protection functions - meaning /WP can no longer lock the status register, and /HOLD cannot pause transactions. These pins become fully bidirectional I/O lines essential for Quad I/O communication.
What unique identification features does W25Q40BWZPIG TR provide?
W25Q40BWZPIG TR includes a factory-programmed, unalterable 64-bit Unique Serial Number accessible via instruction 4Bh, plus JEDEC-standard Manufacturer ID (EFh) and Device ID (4013h) readable with 9Fh. These identifiers support secure boot chain validation, device-specific firmware binding, and anti-counterfeiting measures in regulated applications like medical and automotive systems.
Can W25Q40BWZPIG TR be used in systems requiring data retention beyond 10 years?
Yes, W25Q40BWZPIG TR guarantees ≥20 years of data retention at +85°C and ≥100,000 program/erase cycles - validated per JEDEC standards. This makes it suitable for long-lifecycle deployments such as industrial controllers, utility meters, and medical devices where field replacement is costly or impractical. Retention is specified under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions.
