N25Q256A13EF8A0F TR Micron 32MB Serial Flash storage, 256Mb NOR Flash memory
The N25Q256A13EF8A0F TR is a high-performance 256Mb (32MB) Serial NOR Flash memory from Micron Technology, designed for fast, reliable, and low-power data storage in embedded systems. Utilizing an advanced SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol, it supports single, dual, and quad I/O modes, enabling flexible and high-speed data transfer with clock speeds up to 108 MHz in single I/O mode and 54 MHz in quad I/O mode. This makes it ideal for applications requiring rapid boot-up and execution-in-place (XIP) capabilities, such as automotive infotainment, industrial automation, and IoT devices. The device operates over a wide voltage range (2.7V to 3.6V) and features deep power-down modes, significantly reducing energy consumption in battery-powered applications.
The N25Q256A13EF8A0F TR offers advanced security features, including one-time programmable (OTP) memory blocks and hardware-based write protection, ensuring data integrity in critical applications. It also supports 4KB uniform sectors and 32KB/64KB erasable blocks, providing efficient memory management for firmware storage and updates. With a minimum 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector and 20-year data retention, this Flash memory ensures long-term reliability. The chip is available in an 8-pin SOIC package, making it suitable for space-constrained PCB designs. Additionally, it complies with AEC-Q100 Grade 3 automotive standards, ensuring robust performance in harsh environments.
For applications requiring different memory densities or performance characteristics, alternative Serial NOR Flash options include the W25Q256JV (256Mb, 133 MHz SPI, Winbond), S25FL256S (256Mb, 104 MHz, Cypress/Infineon), and MX25L25645G (256Mb, 133 MHz, Macronix). These alternatives provide varying speed, power efficiency, and packaging options to meet diverse embedded storage needs.
