Overview

The MX25R8035FM1IL0 is an 8Mbit Serial NOR Flash memory featuring an ultra-low power architecture designed for energy-constrained embedded systems. It supports Single, Dual, and Quad I/O SPI interfaces and operates over a wide voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V. This part is specifically optimized for battery-powered applications where minimizing standby and sleep current is critical.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers dual performance modes allowing engineers to prioritize ultra-low power consumption or high-speed 33 MHz performance. With a deep sleep current of just 5uA and an 8-SOP package, it provides a balance of high-density 8Mbit storage and a small footprint. Its wide supply voltage range simplifies power tree design by allowing direct connection to various battery chemistries.

Applications

Wearable Health Monitors
Stores user activity data and firmware in compact devices requiring minimal battery drain during sleep cycles.
Wireless IoT Sensors
Ideal for logging sensor data in remote LPWAN nodes where power consumption must be kept under 5uA in sleep mode.
Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons
Provides non-volatile storage for configuration parameters and OTA firmware updates in coin-cell powered devices.

Getting Started

Integration is straightforward using standard SPI or Quad-SPI drivers found in common MCU HALs such as STM32Cube or Zephyr RTOS. When prototyping, ensure proper decoupling capacitors are placed near the VDD pin to handle transient currents during program and erase operations. Hardware designers should note the 8-SOP (150mil) package requirements for PCB land pattern design.
