Winbond Electronics Corporation America announced production-release of the two newest members in its SpiFlash ® 25X family of Serial Flash memories: W25X16 and W25X32 SpiFlash ® memories -- whose 16 and 32 megabit densities, respectively, are housed in a space-saving, cost-effective 8-pin SOIC package.
The new devices feature the popular Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) supporting both “Single-SPI” and “Dual-SPI” operation to achieve the industry’s highest-performance among Serial Flash memories. The W25X16 and W25X32 also include uniform 4K-byte erasable sectors, in addition to earlier-generation 64KB blocks. The smaller 4K-byte sectors allow for efficient memory allocation and storage of data, and are required in many Intel®-based PC applications. Their packaging, performance and flexibility make the W25X16 and W25X32 ideal Serial Flash solutions for a variety of electronic applications, including desktop and notebook PCs, DVD players and recorders, WLAN and DSL equipment, digital TVs, set-top-boxes, printers, and industrial-control systems.
