MX25L12845EMI-10G FLASH - NOR Memory IC 128Mbit SPI 104 MHz 16-SOP
The MX25L12845EMI-10G is a 128Mb serial NOR flash memory from Macronix, built with standard SPI interface and packaged in 8-pin SOP. It supports standard SPI, dual SPI and quad SPI modes with maximum 104MHz clock frequency, operating at 2.7V to 3.6V supply voltage. This non-volatile memory provides reliable code storage with long data retention, and is widely used to store boot firmware, configuration data and parameter logs in embedded electronic systems.
Key Features and Applications
● 128M-bit memory density organized as 16M x 8 bits for firmware and data storage.
● Multi-mode SPI interface including 1/2/4-bit I/O, clock speed up to 104MHz for fast read access.
● Uniform 4KB sector erase, 64KB block erase and full chip erase functions for flexible memory management.
● Wide operating voltage from 2.7V to 3.6V, low active and standby power consumption.
● 100,000 typical erase/program cycles and 20-year data retention at normal temperature.
● Hardware write protection pins and block protection bits to prevent accidental data overwriting.
This serial NOR flash is commonly used for FPGA and MCU boot code storage, network equipment firmware storage, industrial control boards, smart home devices, automotive auxiliary modules, consumer electronics, handheld measurement instruments and IoT terminals. It delivers stable, fast code loading performance for compact embedded designs that require small footprint non-volatile memory.
