Getting Started

To interface with this device, ensure your microcontroller or FPGA bank is configured for 1.8V logic levels as the part is not 3.3V tolerant. Development can be performed using standard SPI libraries or specialized QSPI drivers available in toolchains like STM32CubeIDE or MCUXpresso, and physical prototyping can be achieved using an 8-pin SOP to DIP adapter.
