GD25Q16C in Macronix MX25 / GigaDevice GD25 SPI Flash Family
The GD25Q16C is a 16-Mbit Serial NOR Flash memory manufactured by GigaDevice, designed for high-performance embedded systems. As part of the widespread GD25 family, it operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply and supports standard, Dual, and Quad SPI interfaces. It is commonly utilized for storing boot code, firmware, and application data in designs where space and power consumption are critical constraints, offering a reliable, high-speed alternative to parallel flash solutions.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the GD25Q16C sub-family primarily differ by package type and operating temperature grades. Standard options include the 150mil and 208mil SOP8, USON8, and WSON8 footprints. Additionally, parts are differentiated by their qualification levels, with standard industrial grades rated for -40C to 85C and extended or automotive-compliant versions available for more demanding thermal environments. Speed ratings are generally consistent across the sub-family.
