Overview

The SST25WF080BT-40E/NP is an 8Mbit Serial Flash memory IC designed for low-voltage systems operating between 1.65V and 1.95V. It utilizes high-performance SuperFlash technology to provide fast program and erase times with high reliability. This part features a 40 MHz SPI interface with Dual I/O support, making it suitable for applications requiring compact, low-power non-volatile storage.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers excellent power efficiency with a standby current of only 70uA and a run current of 10mA at 40MHz. Its 1.8V nominal operation aligns with modern low-voltage SoC and FPGA I/O banks, eliminating the need for level shifters. The 8-USON (2x3mm) package provides a very small footprint for space-constrained PCB designs.

Applications

Getting Started

To integrate this flash memory, ensure your SPI controller is configured for Mode 0 or Mode 3 operation. Developers can use standard SPI drivers within frameworks like Zephyr or Microchip Harmony, or interface directly via bit-banging or hardware SPI peripherals. Hardware designers should place a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor close to the VDD pin for stable high-frequency performance.
