GD25LQ16ETJGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25LQ16ETJGR is a 16 Mbit (2M x 8) NOR flash memory manufactured by GigaDevice. It operates on a single power supply voltage ranging from 1.65 V to 2.1 V and supports standard, Dual, Quad SPI, and QPI interfaces with a maximum clock frequency of 133 MHz. The device features uniform sector architecture with 4 KByte sectors and 32/64 KByte blocks. It includes advanced security features such as 128-bit unique ID, software/hardware write protection, and three 1024-Byte security registers with OTP locks. The component is housed in an SOP-8 package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports Standard, Dual, Quad SPI, and QPI modes for flexible data transfer rates up to 532 Mbits/s.
• Provides hardware and software write protection mechanisms including block protect bits and WP# pin control.
• Includes 128-bit unique identification and three 1024-Byte security registers with one-time programmable lock capabilities.
• Features low power consumption with typical standby current of 10 μA and deep power-down current of 1 μA.

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring execute-in-place (XiP) operation
• Consumer electronics storing firmware and boot code
• Industrial control systems needing wide temperature range reliability
• IoT devices utilizing secure storage for configuration data

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TJGR' corresponds to the SOP-8 208mil package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +105°C). Confirm that the ordering information matches the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision DS-00576-Rev1.2. Ensure compatibility with the required voltage range of 1.65V to 2.1V for your system design.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 Mbit capacity is required with support for high-speed Quad I/O and QPI modes. It is suitable for applications demanding robust data protection via hardware WP# pin or software block protection. Consider the SOP-8 package constraints and the specific 1.65V-2.1V supply voltage requirements compared to higher voltage alternatives.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GD25LQ16E series of Dual and Quad Serial Flash memories. It shares the same core memory organization and command set with other variants in the family but differs in package type and temperature rating. The 'E' suffix indicates enhanced performance features like higher speed read capabilities compared to older generations.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

GD25LQ16ETIGR: Same electrical specifications but different package (SOP-8 150mil) and temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
