Product Overview
The MX25L1606EM2I-12G from Macronix is a 16-Mbit (2MB) serial NOR flash memory in an 8-SOIC (209mil) package. Supporting Standard SPI and Dual I/O modes at up to 86 MHz clock frequency, it operates from 2.7V to 3.6V supply. With 4KB sector and 64KB block erase architecture, 100,000 program/erase cycles, 20-year data retention, and hardware/software write protection, it is designed for code storage and data logging in embedded systems.
