5677

Memory IC Overview

Adafruit part number 5677 is a discrete accessory component categorized under Adafruit Accessories and Supplies. The specific item is identified as the W25Q64JVXGIQ, which is a 3V 64Mbit (8 MB) QSPI NOR Flash Memory chip. This component is distributed in a bulk packaging format, specifically noted as a 100-pack quantity for this SKU. It falls under the semiconductor category of NOR Flash with a 64 Mbit capacity. The product status is listed as discontinued or end-of-life.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile data storage using QSPI NOR Flash technology.
• Operates at a 3V supply voltage level.
• Offers 64 Mbit (8 MB) total memory capacity.

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring persistent code or data storage.
• Microcontroller projects needing external flash expansion.
• IoT device firmware storage solutions.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

This specific Adafruit SKU is marked as discontinued or end-of-life. Availability is restricted, and it may not be sold in all regions by distributors like Mouser. Verification of current stock levels and alternative sourcing from the original manufacturer (Winbond) or other authorized distributors is required before procurement planning.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component only if the design requires a standalone 64Mbit QSPI NOR Flash in bulk quantities compatible with Adafruit's accessory distribution model. Note that the Adafruit SKU represents a packaged lot of individual chips rather than a development board. Ensure the host system supports QSPI interface protocols and 3V logic levels.

Memory IC Part Context

The Adafruit 5677 SKU serves as a retail packaging solution for the underlying Winbond W25Q64JVXGIQ industrial component. While Adafruit brands the accessory, the core semiconductor functionality is defined by the W25Q64 datasheet. This SKU is distinct from Adafruit's active development boards and focuses on raw component supply for hobbyist or prototyping use cases.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

As the Adafruit SKU is discontinued, direct replacement involves sourcing the base component W25Q64JVXGIQ directly from manufacturers or authorized electronic component distributors. Verify pin compatibility and package type (likely SOIC-8 or similar for this density) when substituting.
