10.2.17 Word Read Quad I/O (E7h)
The Word Read Quad I/O (E7h) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Quad I/O (EBh) instruction except
that the lowest Address bit (A0) must equal 0 and only two Dummy clock are required prior to the data
output. The Quad I/O dramatically reduces instruction overhead allowing faster random access for code
execution (XIP) directly from the Quad SPI. The Quad Enable bit (QE) of Status Register-2 must be set to
enable the Word Read Quad I/O Instruction.
Word Read Quad I/O with “Continuous Read Mode”
The Word Read Quad I/O instruction can further reduce instruction overhead through setting the
“Continuous Read Mode” bits (M7-0) after the input Address bits (A23-0), as shown in Figure 16a. The
upper nibble of the (M7-4) controls the length of the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction through the
inclusion or exclusion of the first byte instruction code. The lower nibble bits of the (M3-0) are don’t care
(“x”). However, the IO pins should be high-impedance prior to the falling edge of the first data out clock.
If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 = (1,0), then the next Fast Read Quad I/O instruction (after /CS
is raised and then lowered) does not require the E7h instruction code, as shown in Figure 16b. This
reduces the instruction sequence by eight clocks and allows the Read address to be immediately entered
after /CS is asserted low. If the “Continuous Read Mode” bits M5-4 do not equal to (1,0), the next
instruction (after /CS is raised and then lowered) requires the first byte instruction code, thus returning to
normal operation. It is recommended to input FFh on IO0 for the next instruction (8 clocks), to ensure M4
= 1 and return the device to normal operation.
