Getting Started

Integration requires a SPI controller supporting Quad SPI or QPI modes. Engineers should configure dummy cycles based on the target clock frequency to ensure stable read operations at 166 MHz. Evaluation is typically performed using Macronix memory programmers or by interfacing with FPGA/MCU development kits via the 8-WSON footprint.
