Overview

The AT25SF161B-SSHB-B is a 16Mbit (2M x 8) Serial-Interface NOR Flash memory device designed for high-performance applications using SPI, Dual I/O, or Quad I/O interfaces. Operating on a 2.7V to 3.6V supply, it supports clock frequencies up to 108 MHz and features specialized security registers for sensitive data protection.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers extremely low power consumption with a deep power-down current of only 1.5uA and active read currents as low as 4mA. It includes robust security features like three 256-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers and hardware write protection via the WP pin.

Applications

Firmware Storage
Primary non-volatile storage for bootloader and application code in embedded systems.
Data Logging
Recording sensor data and system events in portable or battery-powered devices.
Parameter Storage
Retaining configuration settings and calibration data across power cycles.
Execution in Place (XiP)
Utilizing high-speed Quad SPI (108 MHz) to execute code directly from external flash memory.

Getting Started

To interface with this device, configure your microcontroller's SPI peripheral for Mode 0 or Mode 3 and ensure the VDD is within the 2.7V to 3.6V range. Developers can use standard JEDEC commands for basic operations or leverage Quad I/O modes for maximum throughput by setting the appropriate bits in the Status Register.
