The family of quad I/O serial flash memory features 108MHz clock frequency, efficient 4KB sectors and enhanced security to support the diverse needs of set-top boxes, digital televisions, printers, home networking, automotive, smart meters, tablets and next generation computers.

According to Alan Neibel, founder and CEO of WebFeet Research, "Serial flash is one of the fastest growing memory markets. Worldwide serial NOR Flash shipments will grow from $1.34 billion in 2012 to greater than $2 billion by 2015. Customer platforms, particularly those with low to mid-density storage needs, benefit from serial flash solutions for its small form factor and low pin count as a means to simplify board layouts and reduce cost."

"With the introduction of FL-1K family, Spansion continues to expand its serial peripheral interface portfolio, delivering high performance, code-efficient small sectors and advanced security for next generation electronics," said Jackson Huang, VP product marketing, Spansion. "In particular, the FL-1K’s flexible data protection and one-time-programmable features help prevent unintentional programming errors and hacking, allowing for a more secure user experience and high levels of system integrity."

Key Facts of FL-1K family:
