MCHPSST26VF016B-104I/SM

Overview

The SST26VF016B-104I/SM is a 16Mbit Serial Quad I/O (SQI) Flash memory device that utilizes a 4-bit multiplexed I/O interface to boost performance while maintaining a low pin count. Operating at a clock frequency of up to 104 MHz, it supports high-speed data throughput for systems requiring fast boot times and execute-in-place (XIP) capabilities. This non-volatile memory is organized as 2M x 8 and operates over a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V.

Why Choose This Part

The SQI interface provides significantly higher throughput than standard SPI Flash, reaching performance levels comparable to parallel Flash with a much smaller 8-pin footprint. It features low power consumption with a typical standby current of 15 uA and a typical run current of 15mA at 104 MHz. Additionally, the device includes hardware write-protection and holds for enhanced data integrity during power-up.

Applications

Getting Started

To interface with this device, use an MCU with a Quad-SPI (QSPI) peripheral and ensure the 5.28 mm SOIJ footprint is correctly mapped in your PCB layout. Microchip provides the MPLAB Harmony framework which includes drivers for SST26 series SQI Flash. Hardware engineers should place a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor close to the VDD pin to handle high-frequency switching noise during 104 MHz operation.
