Getting Started

To interface with this device, use an SPI or Quad SPI peripheral on your microcontroller and ensure the supply voltage is within the 2.7V to 3.6V range. Developers can utilize standard Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) to automatically identify memory characteristics during initialization. Evaluation can be performed by soldering the 8-SOP package to a breakout board or using a universal programmer that supports GigaDevice NOR Flash.
