EN25S16B-104GIP(2SC)

The EN25S16B-104GIP(2SC) is a 16 Mbit serial NOR flash memory in a compact 8-pin SOP 150mil package designed for industrial-temperature applications. Built on a SPI serial flash architecture, it delivers high-speed reads, multiple SPI modes (Standard/Dual/Quad), and flexible sector/block erase options for firmware storage, code patching, and non-volatile data storage.

Its key value is a combination of high read performance (up to 104 MHz), a uniform 4 Kbyte sector architecture for fine-grained erase and update, and low-power operation suitable for embedded and industrial systems requiring reliable program/erase endurance and long data retention.

Key Features

• Memory & Organization 16 Mbit serial NOR flash with 2,048 KByte total capacity, organized as 2M × 8 and 8,192 programmable pages of 256 bytes each.
• Interface & Modes SPI Serial Interface compatible with Standard, Dual and Quad SPI commands (CLK, CS#, DI/DO, DQ₂/WP#, DQ₃/HOLD#); supports configurable dummy cycles.
• High-Speed Read Fast read operation up to 104 MHz (Standard and Dual SPI with 1 dummy byte; Quad SPI with 3 dummy bytes) for rapid code/data fetch.
• Program / Erase Performance Page program time typical 0.5 ms; sector erase typical 40 ms; half-block and block erase times and full-chip erase are supported to enable fast updates and maintenance.
• Power Single power-supply operation with full voltage range of 1.65–1.95 V (1.8 V device) and low power consumption (typical active and power-down currents documented in the device data).
• Reliability & Endurance Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20 years data retention; supports software and hardware write protection and lockable OTP sectors for security.
• Architecture & Protection Uniform Sector Architecture with 512 × 4-KByte sectors, plus block-level erase granularity and write-protect features (WP# pin and software protection) for selective safeguarding of memory regions.
• Industrial Grade & Package Rated for industrial temperature range (–40 °C to 85 °C) and available in an 8-pin SOP 150mil Pb‑free package; RoHS compliant.
• Unique ID & Standards Supports Read Unique ID and SFDP signature for device discovery and system integration.
• Typical Access Fast access characteristics suitable for code shadowing and random reads (access time listed as 8 ns in product specifications).

Typical Applications

• Firmware and Boot Storage — Store boot code and firmware images with fast read performance for quick system startup and code execution.
• Field Firmware Update / Code Patching — Uniform 4-Kbyte sectors and write-protect mechanisms enable selective block updates and safe in-field firmware revisions.
• Industrial Control and Instrumentation — Industrial temperature rating and robust endurance make the device suitable for factory control, gateways, and instrumentation requiring long-term non-volatile storage.
• Embedded Systems and IoT Gateways — Compact 8-pin SOP package and low-power operation accommodate space-constrained embedded designs that require reliable non-volatile program/data storage.

Unique Advantages

• Multiple SPI Modes: Standard, Dual and Quad SPI support lets designers optimize throughput and pin usage according to system needs.
• High Read Throughput: Fast read at up to 104 MHz enables rapid code fetch and data access, reducing boot and runtime latency.
• Granular Erase Architecture: 4-Kbyte uniform sectors and block-level erase provide precise update control and reduce unnecessary wear on memory.
• Robust Endurance and Retention: Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20 years data retention support long-lived deployments.
• Hardware and Software Protection: WP# pin, software protection bits and lockable OTP sectors enhance data integrity and security for critical regions.
• Industrial Ready: –40 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS‑compliant Pb‑free packaging meet industrial deployment requirements.
