Query Structure Output
The Query “database” allows system software to gain information for controlling the flash
component. This section describes the device’s CFI-compliant interface that allows the host system
to access Query data.
Query data are always presented on the lowest-order data outputs (DQ0–DQ7) only. The numerical
offset value is the address relative to the maximum bus width supported by the device. On this
family of devices, the Query table device starting address is a 10h, which is a word address for x16
devices.
For a word-wide (x16) device, the first two bytes of the Query structure, “Q” and “R” in ASCII,
appear on the low byte at word addresses 10h and 11h. This CFI-compliant device outputs 00H
data on upper bytes. Thus, the device outputs ASCII “Q” in the low byte (DQ0–DQ7) and 00h in
the high byte (DQ8–DQ15).
At Query addresses containing two or more bytes of information, the least significant data byte is
presented at the lower address, and the most significant data byte is presented at the higher address.
In all of the following tables, addresses and data are represented in hexadecimal notation, so the
“h” suffix has been dropped. In addition, since the upper byte of word-wide devices is always
“00h,” the leading “00” has been dropped from the table notation and only the lower byte value is
shown. Any x16 device outputs can be assumed to have 00h on the upper byte in this mode.

NOTE:
1. The system must drive the lowest order addresses to access all the device's array data when the device is
configured in x8 mode. Therefore, word addressing, where these lower addresses are not toggled by the
system, is "Not Applicable" for x8-configured devices.
