GD25LQ20CEIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25LQ20CEIGR is a 2 Mbit NOR flash memory device manufactured by GigaDevice. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 2.1 V and supports SPI interface with a maximum clock frequency of 104 MHz. The memory organization is 256 k x 8 bits, featuring an active read current of up to 25 mA. It is housed in an USON-8 package measuring 3x2 mm with a 0.45 mm pitch. The component supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and includes moisture sensitivity classification.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports dual and quad I/O operations for enhanced data transfer rates
• Features uniform sector architecture for consistent erase and write performance
• Operates at low voltage levels suitable for power-constrained systems

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable code storage
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-voltage power supplies
• Embedded applications needing compact surface-mount memory solutions

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IGR' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 1.8V operating voltage aligns with the target system's power rails, as this variant differs from standard 3.3V parts. Ensure design compatibility with the USON-8 footprint dimensions and thermal requirements specified in the official datasheet.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when a 2 Mbit capacity is sufficient and low voltage operation between 1.65 V and 2.1 V is mandatory. Compare against the GD25Q20 series if 3.3V operation is acceptable, as it may offer broader availability. Consider the USON-8 package size constraints relative to other available packages like SOP-8 or WSON-8 for the same density.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the GD25LQ series of 1.8V Uniform Sector Dual and Quad Serial Flash memories. It is designed for applications demanding high performance and low power consumption. The series targets markets such as consumer electronics and industrial controls where small form factors and reliable non-volatile storage are critical requirements.
