EN25QE16A-104XFIP(2P)

The EN25QE16A-104XFIP(2P) is a 16 Mbit serial NOR flash memory device offering high-performance SPI read and program operations in a compact 8-pin USON package. Designed for industrial applications, it implements Standard, Dual and Quad SPI modes and supports uniform 4 Kbyte sectors for flexible in-field updates and data storage.

With high clock-rate operation and low-power modes, this device is suited for firmware storage, code shadowing and data logging in embedded and industrial systems that require robust program/erase control and long data retention.

Key Features

• Core & Memory — 16 Mbit (2M × 8) serial NOR architecture with 2048 KByte total capacity and 256-byte programmable pages.
• Interface & Performance — SPI-compatible serial interface supporting Standard, Dual and Quad SPI; 104 MHz clock rate for 1-, 2- and 4-bit transfers.
• Uniform Sector Architecture — 512 × 4-Kbyte sectors, 64 × 32-Kbyte blocks and 32 × 64-Kbyte blocks; any sector or block can be erased individually.
• Program & Erase Timing — Typical page program time 1.2 ms; typical sector erase 150 ms; block and chip erase times listed with typical values (half-block 500 ms, block 700 ms, chip 18 s).
• Power — Single power-supply operation with full voltage range 2.3–3.6 V and low-power behavior (typical active current 14 mA, typical power-down 1 μA).
• Security & Protection — Software and hardware write protection support, WP# pin, lockable 3 × 1024-byte OTP security sector, volatile status register bits for configurable protection.
• Reliability — Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and typical data retention of 20 years.
• Package & Temperature — Available in an 8-contact USON package (approx. 3 × 2 × 0.45 mm); industrial operating temperature range down to −40 °C (see datasheet for full conditions).
• Standards & Extras — Supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) signature and Read Unique ID operations for system integration and validation.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Firmware Storage — Non-volatile storage for boot code and in-field firmware updates where sector-level erase and protection are required.
• Industrial Control — Reliable code and parameter storage across a wide temperature range for PLCs, controllers and automation modules.
• IoT & Edge Devices — Compact, low-power serial flash for configuration, logging and firmware management in constrained form-factor devices.
• Consumer & Networking Equipment — Storage for system firmware, calibration data and device identifiers in compact board designs.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible SPI Modes: Standard, Dual and Quad SPI support lets designers choose a trade-off between pin count and throughput without changing the memory family.
• High-Speed Read: 104 MHz clock-rate support for fast code and data reads, helping reduce boot times and improve runtime performance.
• Granular Protection and Security: Uniform 4-Kbyte sectors plus hardware write-protect pins and a lockable OTP sector enable selective protection of critical code and data.
• Compact Industrial Package: 8-pin USON footprint reduces board area while meeting industrial temperature requirements for harsh environments.
• Low Power Standby: Sub-microamp power-down current helps minimize energy use in battery-assisted or low-power systems.
• Proven Endurance and Retention: 100K program/erase cycles and typical 20-year data retention support long product lifecycles and field reliability.
