8.2.21 Fast Read Quad Output with 4-Byte Address (6Ch)
The Fast Read Quad Output (6Ch) instruction is similar to the Fast Read Dual Output (3Bh) instruction
except that data is output on four pins, IO0, IO1, IO2, and IO3. The Fast Read Quad Output Instruction allows
data to be transferred at four times the rate of standard SPI devices.
The Fast Read Quad Output instruction sequence is shown in Figure 25a & 25b. When BUF=1, the device
is in the Buffer Read Mode. The data output sequence will start from the Data Buffer location specified by
the 16-bit Column Address and continue to the end of the Data Buffer. Once the last byte of data is output,
the output pin will become Hi-Z state. When BUF=0, the device is in the Continuous Read Mode, the data
output sequence will start from the first byte of the Data Buffer and increment to the next higher address.
When the end of the Data Buffer is reached, the data of the first byte of next memory page will be following
and continues through the entire memory array. This allows using a single Read instruction to read out the
entire memory array and is also compatible to Winbond’s SpiFlash NOR flash memory command sequence.
When WP-E bit in the Status Register is set to a 1, this instruction is disabled.
