GD25VQ16CTIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25VQ16CTIGR is a 16 Mbit NOR flash memory device manufactured by GigaDevice. It features an SPI interface with a maximum clock frequency of 104 MHz and operates within a voltage range of 2.3 V to 3.6 V. The memory organization is 2 M x 8 bits, housed in an SOP-8 package. It supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and has a maximum active read current of 20 mA.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication protocols for data transfer.
• Operates at low supply voltages starting from 2.3 V, suitable for power-constrained systems.
• Designed for industrial applications with extended temperature range capabilities.

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable non-volatile storage
• Consumer electronics utilizing low-power SPI interfaces
• Firmware storage in embedded devices operating in harsh environments

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the component status before procurement as it is marked NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). Confirm that the SOP-8 package and 104 MHz speed meet system requirements. Ensure voltage levels align with the 2.3 V to 3.6 V specification. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during assembly. Validate availability through authorized distributors due to potential end-of-life constraints.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when a 16 Mbit capacity with SPI interface is required for industrial-grade applications. Consider the 2.3 V minimum voltage operation for low-power designs. Compare against other GD25V series variants if higher speeds or different packages are needed. Ensure the SOP-8 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Verify compatibility with existing firmware architectures supporting standard SPI commands.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the GD25VQ16C series of NOR flash memories. It shares characteristics with other devices in the GD25V family but is distinguished by its specific 16 Mbit capacity and industrial temperature rating. The 'C' suffix typically denotes commercial/industrial grade variations within the broader product line.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consult manufacturer guidelines for obsolescence management. Evaluate alternative GD25V series parts with similar specifications if direct substitution is necessary.
