GD25LE80ELIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25LE80ELIGR is an 8 Mbit (1M x 8) SPI NOR flash memory manufactured by GigaDevice. It operates on a single power supply voltage ranging from 1.65 V to 2.0 V. The device supports standard, dual, and quad SPI interfaces with a maximum clock frequency of 133 MHz. It features uniform sector architecture with 4 KByte sectors and 32/64 KByte blocks. Key electrical characteristics include a typical standby current of 10 μA and deep power-down current of 0.2 μA. Endurance is rated for a minimum of 100,000 program/erase cycles with 20-year data retention.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix against the official datasheet to ensure correct physical dimensions and pinout compatibility. Confirm that the operating voltage range aligns with the target system's power supply specifications. Check for required environmental certifications if deploying in industrial or automotive contexts.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage 1.65V-2.0V supply is available and small form factor storage is required. Compare against higher density variants if larger code space is needed. Ensure the host controller supports the desired SPI mode (Standard/Dual/Quad) to utilize the specified data throughput capabilities.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GD25LE80E series of uniform sector serial flash memories. It is designed for applications requiring reliable non-volatile storage with low power consumption. The series supports various packages including SOP8, USON8, and WLCSP to accommodate different PCB layout constraints.

Memory IC FAQ

What is the default state of the Quad Enable (QE) bit?

The Quad Enable (QE) bit defaults to 0 upon power-up, which disables Quad SPI operations and enables the WP# and HOLD# pins for their dedicated functions.

How is the Hold function disabled?

The Hold function is disabled when the Quad Enable (QE) bit is set to 1. In this state, the HOLD# pin acts as a dedicated data I/O pin (IO3).
