Memory IC FAQ

What is the function of the QE bit in the status register?

The Quad Enable (QE) bit allows the device to operate in Quad SPI mode. When set to 1, it enables the use of IO2 and IO3 pins as bidirectional data I/O lines.

How does the HOLD function work?

The HOLD# signal pauses serial communication when driven low while CS# remains low. This suspends operations except for ongoing programming or erasing, allowing the host to temporarily pause data transfer without resetting internal logic.
