RENAT25SF161B-SSHB-T
Overview
The AT25SF161B-SSHB-T is a 16Mbit (2M x 8) Serial NOR Flash memory IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It supports high-speed operations with clock frequencies up to 108 MHz and features flexible SPI, Dual I/O, and Quad I/O interfaces for efficient data throughput. Operating on a 2.7V to 3.6V supply, this non-volatile memory is housed in a compact 8-SOIC package suitable for space-constrained designs.
Why Choose This Part
This device offers excellent throughput for a serial memory, reaching up to 10mA current draw during Quad I/O operations at 104MHz. It features a low standby current of 15uA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications where power efficiency is critical. The 16Mbit density provides a balance between cost and storage capacity for modern firmware requirements.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can interface this memory with any standard SPI-capable microcontroller or FPGA using standard NOR Flash command sets. When designing the PCB, ensure short traces for the 108 MHz SCK signal and place a decoupling capacitor close to the VDD pin. Evaluation can be performed using generic SPI Flash breakout boards or by connecting to the SPI header of common development kits like the Renesas RA or RX series.
