Active6,060 in stock

Overview

The SST25VF512A is a 512 Kbit serial Flash memory device utilizing a 4-wire, SPI-compatible interface. Operating on a single voltage supply between 2.7V and 3.6V, it offers a 64K x 8 organization and is designed for low power consumption with a typical active current of 7 mA. This device is suitable for applications requiring small-footprint, non-volatile storage for configuration data or small code images.

Why Choose This Part

This device features a high-performance 33 MHz clock frequency and efficient low-power operation with an 8 uA standby current. Its 5V tolerant I/O and standard 8-pin SOIC footprint simplify integration into existing 3.3V and mixed-voltage digital circuits.

Applications

Firmware Storage
Storing boot code or small application firmware in space-constrained embedded systems.
Configuration Logging
Retaining user settings, calibration data, and system parameters across power cycles.
Protocol Stack Storage
Holding small communication stacks or lookup tables for microcontrollers with limited internal flash.

Getting Started

To evaluate this memory, connect it to a microcontroller via the SPI bus (CS, SCK, SI, SO). Use standard SPI libraries to issue JEDEC-compliant commands for sector erasing and byte programming. Ensure proper decoupling with a 0.1 uF capacitor near the VDD pin and verify the 2.7V to 3.6V supply range.
