Overview

The BY25Q16AWTIG is a 16Mbit Serial NOR Flash memory device designed for high-speed code execution and data storage. It operates on a wide supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports Standard, Dual, and Quad I/O SPI modes to maximize throughput. With a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz and a standby current of only 12 uA, it is optimized for power-sensitive applications.

Why Choose This Part

This memory IC offers a versatile 1.65V to 3.6V supply range, ensuring compatibility with both low-voltage mobile processors and standard 3.3V systems. Its Quad I/O capability significantly boosts data transfer rates compared to standard SPI, while the 12 uA standby current helps extend battery life in dormant states.

Applications

Firmware Storage
Ideal for storing boot code and application firmware for microcontrollers in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
IoT Edge Devices
Suited for battery-powered sensors requiring low standby power consumption and fast wake-up times for data logging.
Code-in-Place (XiP)
The 100 MHz Quad SPI interface enables high-speed execution of code directly from flash, reducing the need for large internal SRAM.
Wearable Technology
The compact 8-SOP package and low voltage operation make it a practical choice for space-constrained wearable devices.
