GD25LQ16CTIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25LQ16CTIGR is a 16M-bit (2M x 8) NOR flash memory manufactured by GigaDevice. It operates on a single 1.65V to 2.1V power supply and supports Standard, Dual, and Quad SPI interfaces with a maximum clock frequency of 104 MHz under a 30pF load. The device features uniform 4K-byte sectors and 32/64K-byte blocks within an 8-lead SOP package (150mil). It includes hardware and software write protection, a 128-bit unique ID, and supports Execute In Place (XIP) operations.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard, dual, and quad serial peripheral interface modes for flexible data transfer rates.
• Provides uniform sector and block architecture enabling granular erase and program operations.
• Includes advanced security features such as hardware/software write protection and a unique device identifier.
• Enables Execute In Place (XIP) operation for direct code execution from the memory.

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring non-volatile code storage
• Industrial control applications operating in extended temperature ranges
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-voltage power supplies
• IoT devices needing compact surface-mount memory solutions

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TIGR' corresponds to the 150mil SOP-8 package and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm that the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) aligns with your system requirements. Ensure compatibility with the 1.8V voltage domain. Check current lifecycle status as components may be subject to discontinuation notices.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16M-bit capacity is required with strict low-voltage constraints between 1.65V and 2.1V. It is suitable for designs needing high-speed read performance via Quad SPI while maintaining a small 8-pin footprint. Consider alternative packages if larger pin spacing or different thermal profiles are necessary for the PCB layout.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GD25LQ16C series, which offers 1.8V uniform sector dual and quad serial flash memory. The series provides various package options including SOP, VSOP, USON, WSON, LGA, and WLCSP. The GD25LQ16CTIGR specifically denotes the industrial grade variant housed in an 8-lead SOP package with 150mil width, distributed in reel packaging.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

GD25LQ16CSIGR: Identical electrical specifications but utilizes a 208mil SOP-8 package width instead of 150mil. Verify mechanical fit before substitution.
