GD25LF32ENEGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25LF32ENEGR is a 32M-bit Serial Flash memory device manufactured by GigaDevice. It supports Standard, Dual, Quad SPI, QPI, and DTR Quad I/O interfaces. The device operates on a single power supply voltage ranging from 1.65V to 2.0V. It features uniform sector architecture with 4K-byte sectors and 32/64K-byte blocks. Key performance metrics include a typical page program time of 0.4ms, sector erase time of 40ms, block erase time of 0.15s or 0.2s, and chip erase time of 8s. The maximum clock frequency for fast read is 166MHz. Data transfer rates reach up to 332Mbits/s for Dual I/O, 664Mbits/s for Quad I/O, and 832Mbits/s for DTR Quad I/O. Standby current is typically 10μA, dropping to 0.2μA in deep power-down mode.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant (SOP8, USON8, or WSON8) required for your design, as the base part number covers multiple packages. Confirm that the 1.65V-2.0V voltage range aligns with your system's power supply rails. Ensure compatibility with the default Quad Enable (QE) bit state, which is permanently set to 1 for this series. Check for any specific automotive or industrial grade requirements if applicable, as standard versions may differ from qualified variants.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select the GD25LF32ENEGR when a low-voltage (1.65V-2.0V) NOR flash solution is needed with high-speed DTR Quad I/O support. It is suitable for applications requiring uniform sector architecture for consistent erase times. Consider this part for designs needing integrated security features like unique IDs and hardware write protection. Ensure the host controller supports the required SPI modes and clock frequencies up to 166MHz for optimal performance.

Memory IC Part Context

The GD25LF32E series belongs to GigaDevice's family of dual and quad serial flash memories. These devices are designed for high-performance, low-power applications. The series offers various densities and package options to suit different form factors. The GD25LF32E specifically targets markets demanding reliable code execution and data storage with flexible interface options.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for GD25LF32B or GD25LQ32E if different voltage ranges or package types are required. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting. Ensure the replacement part supports the same command set and interface modes used in the existing design.
