Overview

The S25FL256SAGMFIR11 is a 256Mbit (32MB) non-volatile NOR Flash memory IC featuring a high-performance Quad I/O SPI interface. Built on 65nm MirrorBit technology, it supports clock speeds up to 133 MHz and operates from a standard 2.7V to 3.6V supply range. This device is designed for systems requiring fast read performance and reliable code storage in a standard 16-pin SOIC package.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers superior throughput with a 133 MHz Quad SPI interface and supports Double Data Rate (DDR) read modes at 80 MHz. It provides high endurance and data retention for critical system firmware while maintaining a compact 16-SOIC footprint. The device's low 70uA standby current makes it suitable for power-sensitive applications that require periodic high-speed data access.

Applications

High-Performance Code Shadowing
Rapidly loading firmware from Flash to RAM during system boot using 133 MHz Quad I/O or DDR modes.
FPGA Configuration Storage
Storing bitstreams for high-density FPGAs that require fast parallel-like loading via Quad SPI.
Industrial Computing
Providing reliable non-volatile storage for embedded operating systems and application data in industrial environments.
