Read Query (CFI)
The W30 flash memory device contains a separate CFI query database that acts as an on-chip
datasheet. To access the CFI information within the W30 flash memory device, issue the Read
Query command and supply a specific address.
The address is constructed from the base address of a partition plus a particular offset
corresponding to the desired CFI field.
offsets. Issuing the Read Query command to a partition that is programming or erasing puts that
partition in read query mode while the partition continues to program or erase in the background.

Read Status Register
The flash device status register displays program and erase operation status. The status of a
partition can be read after writing the Read Status Register command to any location within the
address range of that partition. Read-status mode is the default read mode following a Program,
Erase, or Lock Block command sequence. Subsequent single reads from that partition return the
partition status until another valid command is written.
The read-status mode supports single synchronous and single asynchronous reads only; it does not
support burst reads.
The first falling edge of OE# or CE# latches and updates Status Register data. The operation does
not affect the modes of other partitions. Because the Status Register is 8 bits wide, only DQ [7:0]

Notes:
1.
The address is constructed from a base address plus an offset. For example, to read the Block Lock
Status for block number 38 in a BPD, set the address to the BBA (0F8000h) plus the offset (02h),
which in this example is 0F8002h. Then examine bit 0 of the data to determine whether the block is
locked.
