W25Q16JVSSIQ
Overview
The W25Q16JVSSIQ is a 16Mbit (2MB) serial Flash memory supporting Standard SPI, Dual SPI, and Quad SPI interfaces. It operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply and achieves high-speed performance with a 133MHz clock rate, enabling equivalent rates of 532MHz when using Quad SPI. This NOR flash is designed for systems with limited space, pins, and power requirements.
Why Choose This Part
It offers exceptional performance for its footprint, featuring a 133MHz clock and Quad I/O capability that significantly reduces boot times compared to standard serial flash. The device includes robust security features like a 64-bit unique ID and OTP security registers, while maintaining a low 1uA power-down current for battery-sensitive designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Interface this memory to an MCU using the SPI bus; for maximum throughput, ensure your controller supports Quad SPI (QSPI) peripheral modes. Developers can use standard SPI libraries and should reference the SFDP (Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters) register to automatically identify device capacity and timing requirements.
