GD25WQ80ETIGR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25WQ80ETIGR is an 8M-bit (1M x 8) SPI NOR flash memory manufactured by GigaDevice. It supports standard, dual, and quad SPI interfaces with a maximum clock frequency of 104 MHz. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 1.65V to 3.6V. It features uniform sector architecture with 4K-byte sectors and 32/64K-byte blocks. Key electrical characteristics include a typical standby current of 11μA and deep power-down current of 0.1μA. The component ensures data integrity with a minimum endurance of 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports Dual and Quad SPI modes for high-speed data transfer up to 416 Mbits/s.
• Includes hardware and software write protection mechanisms with block protect bits.
• Features advanced security options including 128-bit unique ID and OTP-locked security registers.
• Enables Execute In Place (XiP) operation with continuous read wrap functionality.

Memory IC Applications

• Code storage in embedded systems requiring fast boot times.
• Firmware storage for IoT devices and consumer electronics.
• Data logging applications needing reliable non-volatile memory.
• Industrial control systems utilizing uniform sector architecture.

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IGR' corresponds to the SOP8 150mil package variant as defined in the ordering information section of the datasheet. Confirm voltage range compatibility with the 1.65V to 3.6V specification. Ensure design accounts for the required dummy cycle configurations for Quad I/O operations at 104 MHz. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest revision notes.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate density and high-speed interface is required. The 104 MHz clock speed suits applications needing faster code execution than standard SPI allows. The wide voltage range facilitates integration into both 1.8V and 3.3V systems. Consider the SOP8 package constraints if board space is limited compared to WSON or USON alternatives.
