Overview

The SST26VF064B is a 64Mbit Serial Quad I/O (SQI) flash memory device utilizing Microchip's proprietary SuperFlash technology for high reliability and fast erase times. It supports clock frequencies up to 104 MHz and features a versatile interface that allows for standard SPI, Dual I/O, and Quad I/O operation. Operating between 2.7V and 3.6V, it is designed for high-performance embedded systems requiring efficient code execution and data storage.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers exceptional speed through its SQI interface, enabling high-bandwidth data transfer that outperforms standard SPI flash. Its SuperFlash architecture provides significantly faster sector erase times compared to conventional flash, which improves system responsiveness during updates. Additionally, the inclusion of individual-block write protection and an OTP 2 KByte security segment enhances firmware integrity and security.

Applications

Execute-in-Place (XiP) Firmware
Utilizes the 104 MHz Quad I/O interface to execute code directly from flash, reducing the need for large internal RAM.
Industrial Data Logging
Leverages the high endurance and reliability of SuperFlash technology for frequent data writes in harsh environments.
Smart Metering
Provides non-volatile storage for configuration data and event logs with low standby power consumption of 15uA.
Consumer Electronics Boot Code
Stores bootloader and system firmware for rapid startup in digital cameras, printers, and networking equipment.

Getting Started

To evaluate this memory, engineers can use the AC244053 logic analyzer probe or interface it directly with any MCU supporting SPI/SQI via a standard 8-pin SOIC or WDFN footprint. Development is supported by the MPLAB Harmony framework, which includes drivers for Microchip's SQI-capable microcontrollers. Ensure that the PCB layout accounts for high-speed signal integrity, especially when operating at the maximum 104 MHz clock rate.
