Description

MX25L1006E is a CMOS 1,048,576 bit serial Flash memory, which is configured as 131,072 x 8 internally. It features a serial peripheral interface and software protocol allowing operation on a simple 3-wire bus. The three bus signals are a clock input (SCLK), a serial data input (SI), and a serial data output (SO). SPI access to the device is enabled by CS# input. MX25L1006E provides sequential read operation on the whole chip. After a program/erase command is issued, auto program/erase algorithms will be executed to program/erase and verify the specified page or sector/block locations. The program command is executed on a page (256 bytes) basis, and the erase command is executed on the chip, sector (4K-bytes), or block (64K-bytes). A status register is included to indicate the status of the chip, which can be read to detect the completion status of a program or erase operation via the WIP bit. When the device is not in operation and CS# is high, it enters standby mode and consumes less than 10uA DC current. MX25L1006E utilizes MXIC's proprietary memory cell, which reliably stores memory contents even after 100,000 program and erase cycles.
