Product details
Overview
W25Q64FVXGJQ from Winbond is a 64M-bit (8MB) serial NOR flash memory IC supporting Standard/Dual/Quad SPI and QPI interfaces, operating at up to 104 MHz clock rate with 50 MB/s continuous read throughput, 4KB uniform sector erase granularity, and 2.7–3.6 V single-supply operation - deployed for code execution-in-place (XIP), firmware storage, and parameter retention in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q64FVXGJQ datasheet, W25Q64FVXGJQ pinout, W25Q64FVXGJQ application, or W25Q64FVXGJQ equivalent, key selection criteria include Quad Enable (QE) bit configuration for IO2/IO3 remapping, JEDEC ID verification (0xEF4017), SFDP register support for flexible timing discovery, and compatibility with 8-pin XSON 4×4-mm (package code XG) footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The W25Q64FVXGJQ implements a 32,768-page (256-byte/page) array organized into 2,048 erasable 4KB sectors and 128 erasable 64KB blocks, enabling fine-grained data management. Its command set includes Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh), Quad Input Page Program (32h), and Erase/Program Suspend (75h), all requiring QE=1 for full quad functionality.
Internal architecture integrates dual status registers (SR1/SR2), volatile/non-volatile protection bits (BP2–BP0, TB, SEC, CMP, SRP0/SRP1), three 256-byte security registers with OTP locks, and a 64-bit unique serial number. Power-down current is <1 µA (typ.), supporting low-power boot and standby modes in battery-backed applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 M-bit (8 MB) - supports full firmware images for mid-tier MCUs without external memory expansion. |
| Interface Modes | Standard SPI / Dual SPI / Quad SPI / QPI - enables scalable bandwidth: 104 MHz (104 MB/s raw), 208 MB/s (Dual), 416 MB/s (Quad/QPI). |
| Erase Granularity | 4 KB sectors (2,048 total) - allows independent firmware partitioning and OTA update safety via sector-level locking. |
| Write Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector - ensures robustness for logging, calibration, and configuration storage. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +25°C - meets long-life industrial and automotive control system requirements. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic families and mixed-voltage SoC designs without level-shifting. |
| Package | XSON 4×4×0.45 mm (8-pad, code XG) - ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained PCBs and portable electronics. |
Pinout & Package
XSON 4×4×0.45 mm (8-pad) package with exposed thermal pad (no internal connection); pin 1 marked by dot; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (/CS) | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable: high = device deselected (DO tri-stated, ~1 µA standby); low = active communication window. |
| 2 (DO / IO1) | Data Output / Bidirectional I/O | Standard SPI output only; becomes bidirectional IO1 in Dual/Quad/QPI mode after QE=1. |
| 3 (/WP / IO2) | Write Protect Input / Bidirectional I/O | Hardware lock for status register writes; repurposed as IO2 in Quad/QPI mode when QE=1. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and signal currents; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 (DI / IO0) | Data Input / Bidirectional I/O | Standard SPI input only; becomes bidirectional IO0 in Dual/Quad/QPI mode after QE=1. |
| 6 (CLK) | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered timing reference; supports SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3; max 104 MHz frequency determines interface bandwidth ceiling. |
| 7 (/HOLD / IO3) | Hold Input / Bidirectional I/O | Pauses ongoing transfers without deselecting; repurposed as IO3 in Quad/QPI mode when QE=1. |
| 8 (VCC) | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 3 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous Read Mode | As few as 8 clocks overhead to initiate 24-bit address fetch - enables true XIP execution with minimal latency penalty. |
| Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) | 2-clock instruction cycle reduces command overhead vs. standard SPI - improves effective throughput by >3× in burst reads. |
| Security Registers | Three 256-byte OTP-lockable regions - suitable for storing cryptographic keys, calibration coefficients, or secure boot manifests. |
| JEDEC SFDP Support | Read SFDP Register (5Ah) returns configurable timing parameters - eliminates hard-coded delays and enables auto-adaptive initialization. |
| Erase/Program Suspend | 75h/7Ah commands allow background erase or program to pause/resume - critical for real-time systems needing deterministic interrupt response. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX25L6433FZNI-10G | 64 M-bit, 104 MHz max, SOIC-8 & WSON-8 packages; no QPI mode; JEDEC ID 0xC22017. | Lacks QPI and SFDP; requires fixed timing setup; no security registers or unique ID. | Select when QPI/XIP and advanced security are unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature flexibility. |
| S25FL164K0XMFI010 | 64 M-bit, 80 MHz max, supports Octal DTR mode; Cypress/Infineon; JEDEC ID 0x014016. | Higher pin count (16-pin SOIC), larger footprint; includes hardware reset and deeper sleep modes. | Prefer for legacy designs requiring pin-compatible upgrade from older Spansion parts or where Octal DTR bandwidth is required. |
Compared with MX25L6433FZNI-10G and S25FL164K0XMFI010, the W25Q64FVXGJQ delivers superior interface flexibility (QPI + SFDP), smaller XSON footprint, and integrated security features - making it optimal for new compact, secure, and high-throughput embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the package type and footprint of W25Q64FVXGJQ?
W25Q64FVXGJQ uses an XSON 4×4×0.45 mm 8-pad package (Winbond package code XG), with pin 1 marked by a dot and an exposed thermal pad not electrically connected. This ultra-compact footprint is optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and IoT devices, and differs from SOIC, WSON, or TFBGA variants of the same W25Q64FV family.
Does W25Q64FVXGJQ support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, W25Q64FVXGJQ supports true XIP via Continuous Read Mode and Quad SPI/QPI interfaces. With as few as 8 clocks to initiate a 24-bit address fetch and up to 416 MB/s effective throughput in Quad I/O mode, it enables direct code execution from flash without copying to RAM - verified in application notes AN111 and AN114 for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V platforms.
How is Quad SPI mode enabled on W25Q64FVXGJQ?
Quad SPI mode on W25Q64FVXGJQ is enabled by setting the Quad Enable (QE) bit (bit 1 of Status Register-2) via Write Status Register (01h) instruction. Once QE=1, pins /WP and /HOLD become IO2 and IO3 respectively, enabling four-line data transfer. The QE bit is non-volatile and persists across power cycles unless explicitly cleared.
What security features does W25Q64FVXGJQ provide?
W25Q64FVXGJQ includes hardware write protection (/WP pin), top/bottom 4KB sector locking (TB, BP2–BP0), status register protection (SRP0/SRP1), three 256-byte OTP-lockable security registers, and a factory-programmed 64-bit unique serial number - all documented in Sections 6.2 and 7.1 of the official datasheet Revision S.
Can W25Q64FVXGJQ be used in automotive-grade applications?
W25Q64FVXGJQ operates over –40°C to +85°C and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements when qualified under Winbond's automotive-grade variant W25Q64FVSIQ (same die, different marking and screening). The W25Q64FVXGJQ itself is industrial-grade; for automotive use, confirm qualification status with Winbond or select the SIQ suffix part directly.
