GD25VQ32CTIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25VQ32CTIGR is a 32M-bit Serial NOR Flash memory device manufactured by GigaDevice. It supports Standard, Dual, and Quad SPI interfaces with a maximum clock frequency of 104 MHz for fast read operations under a 30 pF load. The device operates on a single power supply voltage ranging from 2.3 V to 3.6 V. It features a uniform sector architecture with 4K-byte sectors and 32/64K-byte blocks. The memory organization consists of 4 million pages of 256 bytes each. Typical write cycle times are 50 µs for page programming and 2.4 ms for block erasing.

Memory IC Feature Summary

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TIGR' corresponds to the SOP8 150mil package and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) as documented in the ordering information section. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any product change notices or end-of-life notifications directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32M-bit capacity with dual/quad SPI support is required within a 2.3V to 3.6V supply range. Ensure the design accommodates the 104 MHz clock speed limitation for fast reads. Consider the SOP8 package dimensions if space is constrained. Verify that the application does not require automotive-grade AEC-Q100 certification, as this specific part number is not explicitly listed as such in the provided datasheet excerpts compared to other GD25 series variants.

Memory IC Part Context

The GD25VQ32C belongs to GigaDevice's Uniform Sector Dual and Quad Serial Flash family. This series is designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable non-volatile storage. The device integrates high-voltage generators and write protect logic to ensure data integrity. It is part of a broader portfolio that includes various densities and interface options tailored for different market segments.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The GD25Q32CTIGR is a related variant within the same family but operates at a higher clock frequency of 120 MHz and requires a 2.7V minimum supply voltage. Verify compatibility regarding voltage levels and timing specifications before substitution. No other direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided documentation.
