Overview

The MX25V1635FM2I is a 16Mbit (2M x 8) Serial NOR Flash memory featuring Multi-I/O capabilities including Single, Dual, and Quad SPI modes. Operating within a 2.3V to 3.6V supply range, it supports high-speed clock frequencies up to 80 MHz in Quad I/O mode for efficient data throughput. This non-volatile memory is optimized for low power consumption, drawing as little as 9uA in standby and deep power-down modes.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a high-performance Quad I/O interface that achieves 80 MHz clock speeds while maintaining low power consumption of 6.5mA during active Quad operations. It includes advanced security features such as an 8K-bit secured OTP area and a unique identifier (UID) for device authentication. The wide supply voltage range and flexible sector/block erase architecture simplify integration into mixed-voltage systems.

Applications

Firmware Storage
Ideal for storing boot code and application firmware in compact embedded systems such as IoT nodes or consumer electronics.
Parameter Logging
Provides non-volatile storage for device configuration settings and small-scale sensor log data.
Resource Buffering
Suitable for storing display assets like fonts, icons, and small UI images for microcontrollers with limited internal memory.

Getting Started

Interface this memory to a microcontroller SPI or QSPI peripheral using standard 8-pin SOIC layout. For software development, use the Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) mode to automatically detect memory characteristics or leverage common SPI Flash libraries like the Arduino SerialFlash or Zephyr JEDEC SPI-NOR driver.
