Product Description
SST25PF040C is a member of the Serial Flash 25
Series family and feature a four-wire, SPI-compatible
interface that allows for a low pin-count package which
occupies less board space and ultimately lowers total
system costs. SPI serial flash memory is manufactured
with proprietary, high-performance CMOS
SuperFlash® technology. The split-gate cell design and
thick-oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and
manufacturability compared with alternate approaches.
This Serial Flash significantly improve performance
and reliability, while lowering power consumption. The
device writes (Program or Erase) with a single power
supply of 2.3V-3.6V. The total energy consumed is a
function of the applied voltage, current, and time of
application. Since for any given voltage range, the
SuperFlash technology uses less current to program
and has a shorter erase time, the total energy consumed
during any Erase or Program operation is less
than alternative flash memory technologies.
See Figure 2-1 for the pin assignments.
