Read-ID (RDID)

The Read-ID instruction (RDID) identifies the devices as

SST25VF040B and manufacturer as SST. This command

is backward compatible to all SST25xFxxxA devices and

should be used as default device identification when multi-

ple versions of SPI Serial Flash devices are used in a

design. The device information can be read from executing

an 8-bit command, 90H or ABH, followed by address bits

turer’s ID is located in address 00000H and the device ID is

located in address 00001H. Once the device is in Read-ID

mode, the manufacturer’s and device ID output data tog-

gles between address 00000H and 00001H until termi-

nated by a low to high transition on CE#.

Refer to Tables 6 and 7 for device identification data.

Note: The manufacturer's and device ID output stream is continuous until terminated by a low to high transition on CE#.

Device ID = 8DH for SST25VF040B

1. 00H will output the manfacturer's ID first and 01H will output device ID first before toggling between the two.
