GD25Q16ESIGR SPI NOR Flash memory IC 16Mbit Quad I/O 133MHz
The GD25Q16ESIGR from GigaDevice is a 16-Mbit (2 MB) SPI NOR Flash memory IC designed for high-performance code storage and execution in embedded systems. Operating on a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply and housed in a standard 8-pin SOIC (208mil) package, this device supports Standard, Dual, and Quad SPI interfaces with a maximum clock frequency of 133 MHz, enabling fast read operations essential for execute-in-place (XIP) applications. It features a uniform 4 KB sector erase architecture (totaling 512 sectors) and offers a typical endurance of 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector with 20-year data retention, ensuring long-term reliability for firmware storage in industrial and consumer electronics.
This memory chip is engineered for speed and robustness. Its Quad I/O (QPI) capability allows for efficient data transfer rates equivalent to 532 Mbit/s, significantly reducing boot and loading times for modern microcontrollers. The device includes advanced security features such as a 128-bit Unique ID for device authentication and 1024-byte Security Registers with OTP (One-Time Programmable) locks, protecting firmware from cloning and unauthorized access.
