PRELIMINARY
QUERY STRUCTURE OUTPUT
The query data structure allows system software to
gain critical information for controlling the flash de-
vice. The device’s CFI-compliant interface allows the
host system to access query data.
Query data is always located on the lowest-order
data outputs (DQ0-DQ7) only. The numerical offset
value is the address relative to the maximum bus width
supported by the device. Since the maximum bus width
is x16, the query table device starting address is a 10h
word address. (See Tables 3 and 4.)
For x16 organization, the first two bytes of the query
structure, “Q” and “R” in ASCII, appear on the low byte
at word addresses 10h and 11h. This CFI-compliant
device outputs 00h data on upper bytes, thus making
the device output ASCII “Q” on the low byte (DQ0-
DQ7) and 00h on the high byte (DQ8-DQ15).
Because the device is either x8 or x16 capable, the x8
data is still presented in word-relative (16-bit) addresses.
However, the “fill data” (00h) will be driven by the
upper bytes in the x16 mode. As in x16 mode, the byte
address (A0) is ignored for query output so that the
“odd byte address” (A0 HIGH) repeats the “even byte
address” data (A0 LOW). Therefore, in x8 mode, using
byte addressing, the device will output the sequence “Q,
Q, R, R, Y, Y,” and so on, beginning at byte-relative
address 20h. Note that the least significant data byte is
presented at the lower address, and the most significant
data byte is presented at the higher address.

NOTE:
1. The system must drive the lowest order addresses to access all the device’s array data
when the device is configured in x8 mode. Therefore, word addressing where lower
addresses are not toggled by the system is “ Not Applicable” for x8-configured devices.
