The 128Mb MirrorBit® SPI FL Flash memory from Spansion (S25FL128P) helps embedded system designers to reduce design complexity and cost, while ensuring they can quickly and reliably store and execute rising amounts of application code. The new 128Mb MirrorBit SPI is the industry’s highest performance 128Mbit Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) device, up to 50% faster than competing offerings.

Featuring an access speed of 104MHz, the 128Mb MirrorBit SPI solution allows designers to take advantage of the inherent cost savings and design simplicity associated with a serial interface, while benefiting from industry leading performance and high density. Fast access times can speed boot-up of high end printers, networking equipment and set-top boxes, while higher densities allow designers to incorporate more sophisticated application code for increased innovation and richer functionality.

The use of serial, rather than parallel data transfer, requires fewer connections and pins per package. This simplifies design, lowers cost and reduces overall space requirements. A variety of microprocessor, ASIC and FPGA vendors currently implement serial interfaces, making the device highly suitable for low cost and space constrained application design.

The 128Mb device is the newest member of Spansion’s MirrorBit FL family, which offers a full range of densities down to 4Mbit. SPI products are available with consistent pin-outs and packaging for 4Mbit and 8Mbit devices and 16Mbit through 128Mbit devices, easing migration to higher densities without the need to alter board layouts. This “Universal Footprint” allows manufacturers to develop solutions based on a single platform across multiple product lines. They can easily add memory capacity as application code requirements expand, or develop multiple product variants aimed at different price points.

The 128Mbit MirrorBit SPI FL solution is available in industry standard 16-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) and WSON 6mm x 8mm packages with RoHS compliance. The SOIC option provides backwards compatibility with 16Mbit to 128Mbit devices.

The device also helps reduce time-to-market via features such as x8 Parallel and Accelerated programming modes. The x8 Parallel programming mode allows the device to be programmed using eight pins at a time, rather than one, speeding factory throughput, while Accelerated programming applies high voltage to the device’s ACC pin, resulting in a reduction of up to 20% in programming time.
