Volatile selectable: When the enhanced volatile configu-
ration register bit 6 is set to 0 and bit 7 is set to 1, the de-
vice enters the dual SPI protocol immediately after the
WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER
command. The device returns to the default protocol after
the next power-on. In addition, the device can return to de-
fault protocol using the rescue sequence or through new
WRITE ENHANCED VOLATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER
command, without power-off or power-on.
Nonvolatile selectable: When nonvolatile configuration
register bit 2 is set, the device enters the dual SPI protocol
after the next power-on. Once this register bit is set, the de-
vice defaults to the dual SPI protocol after all subsequent
power-on sequences until the nonvolatile configuration
register bit is reset to 1.

Volatile selectable: When the enhanced volatile configu-
ration register bit 7 is set to 0, the device enters the quad
SPI protocol immediately after the WRITE ENHANCED VOL-
ATILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command. The device re-
turns to the default protocol after the next power-on. In ad-
dition, the device can return to default protocol using the
rescue sequence or through new WRITE ENHANCED VOLA-
TILE CONFIGURATION REGISTER command, without power-
off or power-on.
Nonvolatile selectable: When nonvolatile configuration
register bit 3 is set to 0, the device enters the quad SPI pro-
tocol after the next power-on. Once this register bit is set,
the device defaults to the quad SPI protocol after all subse-
quent power-on sequences until the nonvolatile configura-
tion register bit is reset to 1.
1. In quad SPI protocol, all command/address input and data I/O are transmitted on four
lines except during a PROGRAM and ERASE cycle performed with VPP. In this case, the
device enters the extended SPI protocol to temporarily allow the application to perform
a PROGRAM/ERASE SUSPEND operation or to check the write-in-progress bit in the sta-
tus register or the program/erase controller bit in the flag status register. Then, when
VPP goes LOW, the device returns to the quad SPI protocol.
