MT25QU256ABA8E14-1SIT

MT25QU256ABA8E14-1SIT is a 256-Mbit product from Macronix, which is a Serial Quad I/O (SQI) Flash memory that utilizes a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. The device is offered in industry standard SOT-23 and 8-pin VDFN packages. Its small die-size and low power consumption design make it an attractive solution for many applications. The flash memory is equipped with a wide range of features such as sector protection and password protection all with a high level of reliability and performance, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

The MT25QU256ABA8E14-1SIT has a range of application fields including automotive, consumer, industrial and medical. In automotive applications it can be used as a secure data storage device, as it has 4K-byte sector protection as well as a password protection feature. This device is also suitable for use in consumer products, such as cameras and media players, as it has a wide voltage range and high speed operation making it a great choice for these applications. The industrial temperature range allows for use in industrial equipment and safety solutions. The high reliability of the device also makes it suitable for use in medical equipment.

The MT25QU256ABA8E14-1SIT can operate in two modes, serial and quad. In serial mode, the device can reach speeds of up to 104 MHz while in quad mode it can reach up to 104 MHz. It also has a wide voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V, making it suitable for a range of operating conditions. The device can also be protected against inadvertent write operations, as it has an ACLK signal which must be asserted to initiate an write operation.

The device also has an inherent self-protection feature, called Data Retention. This feature allows the flash memory to retain the data stored even when the power is removed. The Data Retention mode is set manually by software and requires a minimum Vcc voltage of 1.7V for the retention state. In this mode, the macrocells of the memory cells experience only a minor loss of about 1% of the charge stored in them each month.

The MT25QU256ABA8E14-1SIT has a wide range of features and capabilities, making it an excellent choice for memory solutions in a variety of applications. It is equipped with strong security features such as sector protection and password protection which make it ideal for automotive and consumer products. Its low power and wide voltage range makes it suitable for the ever-changing industrial and medical applications. The Data Retention mode also allows the device to hold information even when the power is removed. Overall, the MT25QU256ABA8E14-1SIT is an excellent choice for any memory solution.
