Product details
Overview
W25Q64FWSSIQ TR from Winbond is a 1.8V, 64M-bit (8MB) serial NOR flash memory IC supporting Standard/Dual/Quad SPI and QPI interfaces. It delivers up to 104MHz clock rate (416MHz equivalent Quad I/O), 4KB uniform sector erase, 256-byte page programming, and true execute-in-place (XIP) capability for embedded code storage in microcontroller boot applications.
For engineers reviewing the W25Q64FWSSIQ TR datasheet, W25Q64FWSSIQ TR pinout, W25Q64FWSSIQ TR application, or W25Q64FWSSIQ TR equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, JEDEC-compliant ID support, security register configuration, continuous read mode timing, and validated alternative options for industrial firmware storage designs.
Technical Context
The W25Q64FWSSIQ TR implements a flexible SPI command architecture with volatile/non-volatile status register control (BP2–BP0, TB, SEC, QE, SRP0/SRP1), enabling hardware- and software-based memory protection down to 4KB sectors. Its dual-mode interface supports both legacy SPI Mode 0/3 and high-efficiency QPI with 2-clock instruction entry.
It integrates three 256-byte one-time-programmable (OTP) security registers, 64-bit unique device ID, SFDP register for discoverable parameters, and erase/program suspend-resume functionality - all operating within –40°C to +85°C across 1.65V–1.95V supply range.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 /CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal; high-impedance DO during deselect; must transition high→low after power-up to accept instructions |
| 2 DO (IO1) | Data Output / Quad I/O 1 | Unidirectional output in Standard SPI; bidirectional I/O in Dual/Quad SPI/QPI; used for status/data reads on CLK falling edge |
| 3 /WP (IO2) | Write Protect Input / Quad I/O 2 | Hardware write-protection enable when QE=0; becomes IO2 in Quad mode; active-low, requires external pull-up |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC and I/O signals; decoupling capacitor placement critical for noise immunity |
| 5 DI (IO0) | Data Input / Quad I/O 0 | Unidirectional input in Standard SPI; bidirectional I/O in Dual/Quad SPI/QPI; accepts instructions/addresses on CLK rising edge |
| 6 CLK | Serial Clock Input | Synchronous timing reference for all SPI/QPI operations; supports Mode 0 and Mode 3 polarity/phase configurations |
| 7 /HOLD or /RESET (IO3) | Hold/Reset Input / Quad I/O 3 | Pauses ongoing operation when low (active); configurable as hardware reset when QE=0; becomes IO3 in Quad mode |
| 8 VCC | Power Supply | 1.65–1.95 V core supply; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling; no internal voltage regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous Read Mode | As few as 8 clocks overhead to address memory - enables deterministic XIP latency for real-time MCU execution |
| Quad Peripheral Interface (QPI) | 2-clock instruction entry using all four I/O lines - reduces command overhead by 75% vs standard SPI, improving system throughput |
| Volatile & Non-Volatile Status Control | BP2–BP0, TB, SEC, QE, SRP0/SRP1 bits stored in both volatile latch and non-volatile memory - ensures robust protection across power cycles |
| Erase/Program Suspend-Resume | Allows background erase or program to be paused for higher-priority read access - essential for mixed-code-and-data firmware partitions |
| JEDEC Compliance | Manufacturer ID (EFh), Device ID (4017h), Unique ID (64-bit), SFDP register (5Ah) - guarantees interoperability with standardized flash controllers |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX25L6433FZNI-10G | 64Mb, 1.8V, supports DTR Quad SPI but lacks QPI mode; no built-in SFDP register; 32KB/64KB erase only (no 4KB sectors) | Less flexible for partial firmware updates; requires external parameter table management | Select when QPI compatibility and 4KB sector granularity are not required; verify controller support for DTR timing |
| S25FL164K0XMFI011 | 64Mb, 1.8V, includes HyperBus interface option; supports 4KB sectors and SFDP; lower max clock (80MHz SPI, 320MHz Quad) | Better suited for high-bandwidth applications needing HyperBus; slightly reduced speed ceiling vs W25Q64FWSSIQ TR | Prefer when migrating to Cypress/Infineon ecosystem or requiring pin-compatible HyperBus fallback path |
Compared with MX25L6433FZNI-10G and S25FL164K0XMFI011, the W25Q64FWSSIQ TR uniquely combines QPI mode, 4KB sector erase, integrated SFDP, and 104MHz Quad SPI - making it optimal for XIP-critical, space-constrained, and secure-boot designs where instruction efficiency and firmware modularity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported clock frequency for W25Q64FWSSIQ TR in Quad SPI mode?
The W25Q64FWSSIQ TR supports up to 104 MHz clock frequency in Quad SPI mode, delivering an effective data transfer rate of 416 MHz (104 MHz × 4 lines). This is confirmed in the "AC Electrical Characteristics" section of the official datasheet (Rev N, May 2017), and enables >50 MB/s continuous read performance when using Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) or Word Read Quad I/O (E7h) instructions. The W25Q64FWSSIQ TR achieves this while maintaining full compatibility with standard SPI controllers via mode switching.
Does W25Q64FWSSIQ TR support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, the W25Q64FWSSIQ TR supports true execute-in-place (XIP) operation through its Continuous Read Mode and Quad SPI/QPI interfaces. With as few as 8 clocks of instruction overhead to address memory and support for wrap lengths of 8/16/32/64 bytes, the W25Q64FWSSIQ TR enables deterministic, low-latency instruction fetch directly from flash - eliminating need for RAM copy. This is validated in Section 2 ("Features") and Section 6.1.5 ("Continuous Read Mode") of the official datasheet.
How is hardware write protection implemented on W25Q64FWSSIQ TR?
Hardware write protection on the W25Q64FWSSIQ TR is implemented via the /WP pin (Pin 3), which - when held low - prevents writes to the status register. This works in conjunction with non-volatile block protect bits (BP2–BP0, TB, SEC) and status register protect bits (SRP0/SRP1) to lock memory regions as small as 4KB sectors. When the Quad Enable (QE) bit is set, /WP becomes IO2 and hardware protection is disabled; thus /WP-based protection requires QE=0. This behavior is documented in Sections 4.3 and 7.1.3–7.1.7 of the datasheet.
What package type does W25Q64FWSSIQ TR use, and is it RoHS compliant?
W25Q64FWSSIQ TR uses an 8-pin SOIC 208-mil package (Package Code SS), with matte tin lead finish and full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT assembly. Package dimensions, solder profile, and thermal characteristics are specified in Section 10.1 of the datasheet, and the device meets JEDEC MS-012 standards for SOIC outline.
Can W25Q64FWSSIQ TR be used in automotive applications?
The W25Q64FWSSIQ TR is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and qualified to industrial temperature grade, but it is not AEC-Q100 certified. For automotive applications requiring qualification, Winbond offers the automotive-grade W25Q64JW variant (AEC-Q100 Grade 3). While W25Q64FWSSIQ TR may function in some automotive subsystems (e.g., infotainment configuration storage), designers must perform full system-level qualification if used outside its specified industrial rating - the W25Q64FWSSIQ TR itself does not carry automotive qualification documentation.
