MX25L6406EM2I-12G
Overview
The MX25L6406EM2I-12G is a 64Mbit serial NOR flash memory device manufactured by Macronix. It operates over a 2.7V to 3.6V supply range and features an 86 MHz clock frequency for high-speed data retrieval. Housed in a 200mil 8-SOP package, it provides a reliable non-volatile storage solution for systems requiring medium-density firmware or data logging capabilities via an SPI interface.
Why Choose This Part
This part features extremely low power consumption with standby and sleep currents of only 12uA, making it ideal for battery-operated designs. It supports Dual I/O operations to double the throughput of standard SPI, reaching effective data rates suitable for Execute-in-Place (XiP) applications. The 8M x 8 organization in an industry-standard SOP8 package ensures broad compatibility with existing PCB footprints and memory controllers.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To interface with this device, use a standard SPI master capable of Mode 0 or Mode 3 communication at 3.3V logic levels. Development can be accelerated using generic SPI flash programmers or by using the SerialFlash library on platforms like Arduino and ESP32. Ensure a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor is placed close to the VCC pin to maintain signal integrity during high-speed 86 MHz operations.
