• Sector/Block Architecture — Uniform 4-Kbyte sectors (512 sectors), plus 32 × 64-Kbyte blocks and 64 × 32-Kbyte blocks; any sector or block can be erased individually.
• Serial SPI Interface — SPI-compatible serial interface supporting Standard, Dual and Quad SPI; compatible with SPI modes 0 and 3 and common signals (CLK, CS#, DI, DO, DQ₂ (WP#), DQ₃ (HOLD#)).
• High Read Throughput — 104 MHz clock rate supported for standard, two-bit and four-bit data modes for fast read performance.
• Program & Erase Performance — Typical page program time 1 ms; typical sector erase time 100 ms; half-block 300 ms; block 500 ms; chip erase typical 15 seconds.
• Endurance & Retention — Minimum 100k program/erase cycles per sector/block and 20 years data retention as specified.
• Power — Low active and standby currents: typical active current 10 mA and power-down current 1 µA.
• Write Protection & Security — Software and hardware write protection options, lockable 3 × 1024 byte OTP security sector, and Write Suspend/Resume support for flexible update workflows.
• Package & Temperature — Available in an 8‑pin SOP 200 mil package; industrial operating temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Compatibility — Supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) signature and Read Unique ID Number commands; default Quad Enable (QE) = 1.

Typical Applications

• Firmware and Boot Code Storage — Non-volatile storage for boot loaders and firmware images with sector-level erase and program control to support in-field updates and patches.
• Embedded & Industrial Controllers — Industrial-temperature rated memory for programmable logic, microcontroller-based systems and instrumentation requiring reliable code retention and endurance.
• Field Upgradeable Devices — Systems that require over-the-air or in-system updates benefit from Write Suspend/Resume and per-sector protection to safely modify segments of code or data.

Unique Advantages

• Fast SPI Read Performance — 104 MHz operation in standard, dual and quad modes enables higher throughput for code execute-in-place and fast data retrieval.
• Flexible Erase Granularity — 4-Kbyte uniform sectors and multiple block sizes let designers balance erase time and storage layout for efficient updates.
• Robust Data Protection — Software/hardware write protection and a lockable OTP sector provide multiple layers of safeguarding for critical code and secure data.
• Field Update-Friendly — Write Suspend/Resume and per-sector protection simplify reliable firmware updates without impacting protected regions.
• Industrial Reliability — Specified operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C plus 100k endurance cycles and 20-year retention support long-life deployments.
• Low Power Standby — Typical power-down current of 1 µA helps minimize energy use in standby and sleep modes.
