GD25X512MEFIRR

Memory IC Overview

The GD25X512MEFIRR is a 512 Mbit NOR flash memory device manufactured by GigaDevice. It utilizes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for data communication and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The component supports a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz, enabling efficient code execution and data access speeds. Designed for surface-mount technology, it is housed in an SOP-16 package. The device is rated for industrial temperature ranges, functioning reliably between -40°C and +85°C. This configuration targets embedded systems requiring non-volatile storage with robust performance characteristics.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard SPI interface protocols for flexible system integration
• Provides reliable non-volatile data retention for firmware storage
• Operates within standard industrial temperature limits for diverse environments

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring code execution from flash memory
• Industrial control units needing reliable data storage
• Consumer electronics utilizing serial flash for boot code

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EFIRR' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the design accommodates the SOP-16 footprint and 2.7V to 3.6V power requirements. Confirm compatibility with existing SPI controller interfaces operating at up to 166 MHz. Check for any moisture sensitivity level requirements during assembly processes.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a 512 Mbit capacity is required in an SOP-16 package. It is suitable for applications needing 3V operation rather than low-voltage 1.8V variants. Consider the 166 MHz speed limit for timing constraints. Compare against the GD25B series if automotive qualification or different feature sets are needed. Verify that the SOP-16 form factor fits the PCB layout constraints.
