• Operates on low voltage supply ranging from 1.65V to 2V

Memory IC Applications

• Firmware storage in embedded systems
• Boot code storage for microcontrollers
• Configuration data persistence

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AGR' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match your design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the 1.65V to 2V operating voltage range. Confirm the 8-SOP package dimensions align with your PCB footprint constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet for write cycle times and interface timing parameters before finalizing procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32Mbit capacity is required for applications needing low power consumption and moderate read speeds. The 133 MHz clock speed suits designs where Quad I/O or QPI modes are utilized for efficient data retrieval. Consider the 8-SOP package for standard surface mount assembly processes. Verify that the system voltage rails can support the 1.65V to 2V requirement without additional level shifting if necessary.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GD25LQ series of SPI NOR Flash memories from GigaDevice. The series is characterized by its use of SLC technology and support for multiple interface modes including standard SPI and higher-speed Quad operations. These devices are commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial applications requiring persistent storage for small to medium-sized code and data sets.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the GD25LQ family, such as GD25LQ32ETIGR, ensuring package and electrical specs match. Verify cross-compatibility with other 32Mbit SPI NOR Flash parts from different manufacturers only if pinouts and voltage levels are identical.
