Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S1R' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as suffixes often denote temperature grades or packaging variations. Ensure the design-in process accounts for the 24-BGA footprint and moisture sensitivity level requirements during soldering. Cross-reference the recommended alternate part number EM016LXQBB313IS2R if alternative sourcing is necessary.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile memory solution with SRAM-like speed and EEPROM-like endurance is required without write delays. The low voltage range of 1.65 V to 2 V makes it appropriate for battery-powered devices. Consider the 24-BGA package size constraints and the Quad SPI interface compatibility with the host microcontroller before finalizing the selection.
