The SST25VF016B-50-4C-QAF is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a 16 Mbit (2 Mbyte) Serial Flash memory chip that offers reliable data storage and retrieval capabilities. Here are some key features of this IC component:
1. Density and Organization: The SST25VF016B-50-4C-QAF has a memory density of 16 Mbits (2 Mbytes), which translates to a total of 2,097,152 bytes. It uses a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol to communicate with the host microcontroller or processor.
2. High-Speed Performance: With a maximum operating frequency of 50 MHz, this IC offers high-speed data transfers compared to traditional parallel Flash memory solutions. It ensures fast read and write operations, enhancing the overall performance of the system.
3. Low Power Consumption: The SST25VF016B-50-4C-QAF is designed with low power consumption in mind. It features a deep power-down mode and standby mode, allowing the system to conserve energy when the Flash memory is not actively accessed.
4. Sector/Block Erase and Program: The IC component provides sector and block erase functions, allowing users to selectively erase specific sections of the memory to rewrite new data. It offers enhanced flexibility since erasing the entire memory is not always necessary. In addition, individual pages can be programmed, enabling efficient data updates without disturbing the unaffected parts
