Description
The Adesto
®
AT25SF081 is a serial interface Flash memory device designed for use in a wide variety of high-volume
consumer based applications in which program code is shadowed from Flash memory into embedded or external RAM
for execution. The flexible erase architecture of the AT25SF081 is ideal for data storage as well, eliminating the need for
additional data storage devices.
The erase block sizes of the AT25SF081 have been optimized to meet the needs of today's code and data storage
applications. By optimizing the size of the erase blocks, the memory space can be used much more efficiently. Because
certain code modules and data storage segments must reside by themselves in their own erase regions, the wasted and
unused memory space that occurs with large block erase Flash memory devices can be greatly reduced. This increased
memory space efficiency allows additional code routines and data storage segments to be added while still maintaining
the same overall device density.
The device also contains three pages of Security Register that can be used for purposes such as unique device
serialization, system-level Electronic Serial Number (ESN) storage, locked key storage, etc. These Security Register
pages can be individually locked.

Name and Function
CHIP SELECT:
Asserting the CS pin selects the device. When the CS pin is deasserted, the
device will be deselected and normally be placed in standby mode (not Deep Power-Down
mode), and the SO pin will be in a high-impedance state. When the device is deselected,
data will not be accepted on the SI pin.
A high-to-low transition on the CS pin is required to start an operation, and a low-to-high
transition is required to end an operation. When ending an internally self-timed operation
such as a program or erase cycle, the device will not enter the standby mode until the
completion of the operation.
SERIAL CLOCK:
This pin is used to provide a clock to the device and is used to control the
flow of data to and from the device. Command, address, and input data present on the SI pin
is always latched in on the rising edge of SCK, while output data on the SO pin is always
clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
SERIAL INPUT:
The SI pin is used to shift data into the device. The SI pin is used for all data
input including command and address sequences. Data on the SI pin is always latched in on
the rising edge of SCK.
With the Dual-Output and Quad-Output Read commands, the SI Pin becomes an output pin
(I/O
0
) in conjunction with other pins to allow two or four bits of data on (I/O
3-0
) to be clocked
in on every falling edge of SCK
To maintain consistency with the SPI nomenclature, the SI (I/O
0
) pin will be referenced as
the SI pin unless specifically addressing the Dual-I/O and Quad-I/O modes in which case it
will be referenced as I/O
0
Data present on the SI pin will be ignored whenever the device is deselected (CS is
deasserted).

SERIAL OUTPUT:
The SO pin is used to shift data out from the device. Data on the SO pin
is always clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
With the Dual-Output Read commands, the SO Pin remains an output pin (I/O
0
) in
conjunction with other pins to allow two bits of data on (I/O
1-0
) to be clocked in on every
falling edge of SCK
To maintain consistency with the SPI nomenclature, the SO (I/O
1
) pin will be referenced as
the SO pin unless specifically addressing the Dual-I/O modes in which case it will be
referenced as I/O
1
The SO pin will be in a high-impedance state whenever the device is deselected (CS is
deasserted).
WRITE PROTECT:
The WP pin controls the hardware locking feature of the device. Please
refer to
“Program/Erase Suspend (75h)” on page 17
for more details on protection features
and the WP pin.
With the Quad-Input Byte/Page Program command, the WP pin becomes an input pin (I/O
2
)
and, along with other pins, allows four bits (on I/O
3-0
) of data to be clocked in on every rising
edge of SCK. With the Quad-Output Read commands, the WP Pin becomes an output pin
(I/O
2
) in conjunction with other pins to allow four bits of data on (I/O3
3-0
) to be clocked in on
every falling edge of SCK.
To maintain consistency with the SPI nomenclature, the WP (I/O
2
) pin will be referenced as
the WP pin unless specifically addressing the Quad-I/O modes in which case it will be
referenced as I/O
2
The WP pin is internally pulled-high and may be left floating if hardware controlled protection
will not be used. However, it is recommended that the WP pin also be externally connected
to V
CC
whenever possible.
HOLD:
The HOLD pin is used to temporarily pause serial communication without
deselecting or resetting the device. While the HOLD pin is asserted, transitions on the SCK
pin and data on the SI pin will be ignored, and the SO pin will be in a high-impedance state.
The CS pin must be asserted, and the SCK pin must be in the low state in order for a Hold
condition to start. A Hold condition pauses serial communication only and does not have an
effect on internally self-timed operations such as a program or erase cycle. Please refer to
“Hold Function” on page 31
for additional details on the Hold operation.

Memory Array
To provide the greatest flexibility, the memory array of the AT25SF081 can be erased in four levels of granularity
including a full chip erase. The size of the erase blocks is optimized for both code and data storage applications, allowing
both code and data segments to reside in their own erase regions. The Memory Architecture Diagram illustrates the
breakdown of each erase level.
