GD25T512MEFIRR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25T512MEFIRR is a 512 Mbit NOR flash memory device manufactured by GigaDevice. It utilizes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with support for Quad I/O and Double Data Rate (DTR) modes, achieving a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and is housed in a 16-pin Small Outline Package (SOP-16). Designed for surface-mount technology, it functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data transfer via SPI interface with Quad I/O and DTR capabilities
• Includes hardware reset functionality and write protection mechanisms
• Features embedded Error Correction Code (ECC) for enhanced data integrity

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable code storage
• Consumer electronics firmware storage
• IoT devices needing non-volatile memory solutions

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FIRR' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for SOP-16 packages. Confirm that the required operating voltage and temperature ranges align with system design constraints before finalizing procurement decisions.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512 Mbit capacity is required in a standard SOP-16 package. It is suitable for applications prioritizing cost-effectiveness and widespread availability over ultra-high speed or extreme temperature operation. Consider alternative packages like WSON or TFBGA if space constraints or higher thermal performance are necessary.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the GD25T series of SPI NOR flash memories. The series offers various densities and packaging options to suit different market needs. The GD25T512 variant specifically targets mid-range storage requirements, balancing performance and physical size for general-purpose embedded applications.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the GD25T family with identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify cross-compatibility with other manufacturers' 512 Mbit SOP-16 SPI NOR flashes, ensuring interface timing and command sets match.
