M25P16-VMN6P

Overview

The M25P16-VMN6P is a 16 Mbit (2MB) Serial Flash memory device accessed via a high-speed SPI bus. It is a legacy storage solution from STMicroelectronics, designed for applications that require reliable non-volatile code storage and data logging with minimal pin count. The device operates on a 2.7V to 3.6V supply range and features a low-power standby mode for energy-efficient operation.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a high-speed clock rate of up to 75MHz and features a deep power-down mode that reduces current consumption to 50uA. Its standard SO8N footprint and straightforward SPI interface ensure compatibility with a wide range of host controllers while maintaining a small PCB footprint.

Applications

Getting Started

Engineers can interface this memory with any MCU using a standard SPI peripheral and a single chip-select line. Development is often accelerated by using existing SPI Flash libraries (such as the SerialFlash library for Arduino or vendor-specific HALs) to manage sector erasing and page programming operations.
