GD25LD20EKIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25LD20EKIGR is a 2 Mbit SPI NOR Flash memory component manufactured by GigaDevice. It features a storage organization of 256 k x 8 bits and supports an SPI interface with Dual I/O capabilities at a maximum clock frequency of 50 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 2 V, with a maximum active read current of 10 mA. It is housed in an 8-USON package measuring 1.5x1.5 mm and is rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports Dual I/O data transfer modes via the SPI interface for enhanced throughput.
• Utilizes a compact 8-USON surface-mount package suitable for space-constrained designs.
• Operates on a low-voltage power supply ranging from 1.65 V to 2 V.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable code storage
• IoT devices with limited power budgets
• Embedded applications needing non-volatile firmware retention

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EKIGR against official datasheets to confirm the USON-8 package and 1.8V operation. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 1.5x1.5mm form factor. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly. Validate that the 50 MHz clock speed meets system timing requirements.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint and low voltage operation are critical. It serves as a drop-in replacement for other 2Mbit NOR flashes in the same package if pinouts match. Consider the 50 MHz speed limit for high-frequency bus requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system battery life goals.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GD25LD series, which targets low-power applications. The series offers various package options including SOP, TSSOP, and USON variants. These components are designed for cost-sensitive embedded markets while maintaining industrial temperature stability and standard SPI protocol compatibility.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

GD25LD20CUIGR: Similar 2Mbit capacity and 1.8V operation but uses a larger USON-8 (3x2mm) package. Verify mechanical fit before substitution.
