single byte write

[rova_2867281]

Hello,

How do I do a single byte write with the S25FL512S memory?  Do I just use the page write command with and address, one data byte and terminate?

Hello,

Yes, you are correct. Please see the explanation for page programming operation from our datasheet below.

"9.5.1.2 Page Programming

Page Programming is done by loading a Page Buffer with data to be programmed and issuing a programming command to move data from the buffer to the memory array. This sets an upper limit on the amount of data that can be programmed with a single programming command. Page Programming allows up to a page size (512 bytes) to be programmed in one operation. The page is aligned on the page size address boundary. It is possible to program from one bit up to a page size in each Page programming operation. It is recommended that a multiple of 16 byte length and aligned Program Blocks be written. For the very best performance, programming should be done in full pages of 512 bytes aligned on 512-byte boundaries with each Page being programmed only once."

Thanks and Regards,
