Product Overview
The N25Q256A13ESF40F is a 256Mb non-volatile serial NOR flash from Micron built on 32nm MTP process. It supports standard SPI, Dual-SPI, Quad-SPI and DTR dual transfer rate protocols with up to 108MHz clock speed, enabling high-speed XiP execute-in-place operation. Equipped with 256-byte program pages, 4KB small sub-sectors and 64KB main erase sectors, it balances flexible data storage and fast firmware loading. Rated for 100,000 erase-write cycles and 20-year data retention, this SOIC-16 packaged memory fits industrial, automotive, networking and medical embedded systems.
Core Advantages
High-Speed Quad SPI XiP Operation
Quad-channel SPI reaches high throughput to run firmware directly from flash without extra external RAM, lowering BOM cost and PCB space.
Dual Granularity Erase Architecture
4KB small sub-sectors for tiny log data and 64KB large sectors for full firmware image mass updates, adapting to diverse storage scenarios.
Multi-Level Write Protection
Hardware WP pin + sector lock registers prevent accidental overwriting of critical boot and configuration data.
Long-Term Industrial Reliability
-40℃~+85℃ wide operating temperature, 100k cycling endurance and 20-year data retention for long-lifecycle field devices.
