Micron 45nm 2Gb Serial NOR Flash With SPI Interface

Micron Technology, Inc. announced the availability of 45nm Serial NOR flash memory samples in 512Mb, 1Gb, and 2Gb densities with a standard SPI interface.

These new MT25Q SPI NOR devices offer a cost-effective solution with performance, enhanced security and drop-in compatibility with legacy NOR devices, enabling high-density SPI NOR adoption in consumer, automotive, industrial and networking applications.

MT25Q devices satisfy embedded application requirements with 2MB/s programming speed. In addition, they offer improved erase performance and 66MB/s read performance, enabling fast updates and boot performance for embedded systems. The family also offers the first serial NOR 2Gb device in a 6mm x 8mm BGA package, which is the smallest package available in the market.

“The introduction of our new SPI NOR family reconfirms Micron’s commitment to NOR technology and further enables us to continuously meet customer needs,” said Jeff Bader, VP, Micron’s embedded solutions marketing. “As customers increasingly move to higher-density NOR designs, our MT25Q product line, with 2MB/s programming speed, supports the need for improved performance, higher manufacturing efficiency and a small footprint.”

MT25Q SPI NOR devices will also maximize design flexibility and minimize redesigns thanks to Micron’s long lifecycle support.

Micron partners with major ecosystem players to enable the MT25Q SPI NOR solutions and help make them the choice for new and existing application designs.

Samples of the MT25Q devices are available in BGA and SO16W packages.
