Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'LIGR' against the manufacturer's official ordering information table to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the design supports the 1.65V-2.0V voltage range. Check for end-of-life status as some variants may be marked not recommended for new designs. Confirm availability through authorized distributors only.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage (1.65V-2.0V) 256M-bit NOR flash is required. It is suitable for applications needing high-speed quad I/O access and robust data protection features. Consider the WSON8 or WLCSP package options based on board space constraints. Ensure the host controller supports the required SPI modes and command set.
