Working Principles

The N25Q128A13ESF40E is based on the NOR flash memory technology. It stores data in a grid of memory cells, each capable of holding one or more bits of information. The memory cells are organized into sectors, which can be individually erased and programmed. The SPI interface allows for easy communication with the chip, enabling read and write operations.

Detailed Application Field Plans

• Embedded systems: Used as storage for firmware, configuration data, and log files.
• Consumer electronics: Utilized in digital cameras, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles for data storage.
• Automotive industry: Integrated into infotainment systems, instrument clusters, and navigation devices.
• Industrial automation: Employed in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for data storage.
