Product details
Overview
W25Q64CVSSJG from Winbond is a 64M-bit (8MB) serial NOR flash memory IC supporting Standard, Dual, and Quad SPI interfaces with up to 80 MHz clock frequency, 4KB uniform sector architecture, and true execute-in-place (XIP) capability for embedded code storage. It operates from 2.7V–3.6V, draws 4mA active current and <1µA in power-down mode, and is commonly used in microcontroller boot code storage and firmware update storage.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q64CVSSJG datasheet, W25Q64CVSSJG pinout, W25Q64CVSSJG application, or W25Q64CVSSJG equivalent, key selection considerations include Quad SPI enable (QE bit), 4KB sector granularity for parameter storage, hardware write protection via /WP and /HOLD pins, and compatibility with JEDEC-standard SFDP and Unique ID registers.
Technical Context
The W25Q64CVSSJG implements a SPI command set compliant with Mode 0 and Mode 3 clock polarity, supports dual/quad I/O via configurable IO0–IO3 pins, and requires non-volatile Quad Enable (QE) bit setting in Status Register-2 to activate Quad SPI functionality. Its internal architecture includes a 256-byte page buffer, 2,048 erasable 4KB sectors, and 128 erasable 64KB blocks.
It features programmable block protection (BP2–BP0, TB, SEC, CMP), volatile/non-volatile status register bits, Erase/Program Suspend & Resume, and three 256-byte security registers with OTP locks. The device supports Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) at up to 320MHz equivalent data rate and Continuous Read Mode with as few as 8 clocks overhead per 24-bit address access.

FAQ
What is the package type and pin count of the W25Q64CVSSJG?
The W25Q64CVSSJG uses an 8-pin SOIC 208-mil (package code SS) with standard JEDEC MS-012AA dimensions. It has eight terminals: /CS, DO (IO1), /WP (IO2), GND, DI (IO0), CLK, /HOLD (IO3), and VCC. This package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for surface-mount reflow assembly in high-volume industrial PCBs.
Does the W25Q64CVSSJG support Quad SPI by default?
No - the W25Q64CVSSJG requires explicit programming of the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register-2 to activate Quad SPI mode. Until QE=1, pins /WP and /HOLD remain dedicated to hardware write protection and hold functions. Once set, those pins become IO2 and IO3 for full quad data transfer using instructions like EBh (Fast Read Quad I/O).
How many program/erase cycles does the W25Q64CVSSJG guarantee?
The W25Q64CVSSJG guarantees more than 100,000 program/erase cycles per 4KB sector under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +85°C). This endurance rating applies to individual sectors and is validated per JEDEC standards, ensuring long-term reliability for firmware update partitions and configuration storage in deployed equipment.
Can the W25Q64CVSSJG be used for execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes - the W25Q64CVSSJG supports true XIP via its Continuous Read Mode and Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction, achieving up to 320MHz effective throughput. With as few as 8 clock cycles overhead per 24-bit address, it enables deterministic instruction fetch directly from flash without intermediate RAM loading - widely adopted in Cortex-M and RISC-V boot architectures.
What security features does the W25Q64CVSSJG provide beyond basic write protection?
Beyond /WP pin and status register BP bits, the W25Q64CVSSJG includes three 256-byte security registers with OTP lock bits, 64-bit unique serial number per device, SFDP register for standardized parameter discovery, and power supply lock-down protection. These features collectively support secure boot, device authentication, and tamper-resistant credential storage in regulated applications.
