Winbond Electronics
FLASH - NOR Memory IC 128Mbit SPI - Quad I/O, QPI 133 MHz 8-WSON (6x5)
Active18,595 in stock

Overview

The W25Q128JVPIQ is a 128Mbit (16M x 8) Serial Flash memory featuring a high-performance SPI interface with support for Dual and Quad I/O as well as QPI modes. It operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply and supports clock frequencies up to 133 MHz, providing a continuous data transfer rate of 66MB/s. This NOR flash is designed for systems where space, pins, and power are at a premium, offering flexible 4KB sectors and advanced security features.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers high-speed performance with a 133 MHz clock and supports over 100,000 program-erase cycles per sector with 20-year data retention. Its flexible architecture allows for uniform sector or block erasures (4K/32K/64K-Byte), and the 8-WSON package provides a compact 6x5mm footprint for high-density PCB layouts.

Applications

Firmware Storage
Ideal for storing boot code and application firmware in embedded systems that require high-speed Execute-in-Place (XiP) capability.
Data Logging
Used in industrial or consumer devices for non-volatile storage of sensor data and system event logs.
IoT Edge Devices
Suited for power-sensitive wireless modules due to its ultra-low 1uA power-down current and small WSON footprint.
Graphical Assets
Storage for UI elements, fonts, and bitmaps in small display applications where fast Quad-SPI read speeds improve rendering performance.

Getting Started

To integrate this memory, connect it to a microcontroller SPI or QSPI peripheral and ensure the 2.7V to 3.6V power rails are stable. Developers can use standard SPI libraries or specialized QSPI drivers to access the SFDP register for automated discovery of device parameters. Hardware write protection and software-based security registers can be configured during the initial manufacturing stage using the 64-bit Unique ID.
