A dual-power SPI NOR Flash series boosts speed, saves power, and works smoothly with 1.2V SoCs, making it ideal for modern devices and applications.
GigaDevice has introduced the GD25NE series, a dual-power supply SPI NOR Flash designed for 1.2 V system-on-chip (SoC) applications. This launch supports GigaDevice’s dual-power supply Flash strategy by ensuring compatibility with next-generation 1.2 V SoCs without requiring an external booster circuit. The GD25NE series offers higher performance and lower power consumption, making it suitable for wearables, healthcare, IoT, data centers, and Edge AI applications.
The series operates with a 1.8 V core voltage and a 1.2 V I/O interface voltage. It supports single, dual, quad single transfer rate (STR), and quad double transfer rate (DTR) operation, achieving clock speeds up to 133 MHz in STR mode and 104 MHz in DTR mode.
With a page program time of 0.15ms and a sector erase time of 30ms, the GD25NE series delivers up to 20% faster read performance, over 60% faster program speed, and a 30% reduction in erase time compared to conventional 1.2 V Flash solutions.
Designed for ultra-low power consumption, the series has a deep power-down current of 0.2 µA, a Quad I/O DTR read current of 9 mA at 104 MHz, and program/erase currents as low as 8 mA. Its 1.2 V design reduces power consumption by up to 50% compared to 1.8 V solutions, improving efficiency and simplifying system design while maintaining high performance.
“The GD25NE series represents a new class of dual-supply SPI NOR Flash, delivering an optimal balance of high performance and ultra-low power consumption,” said Ruwei Su, GigaDevice vice president and general manager of Flash BU, “With significantly reduced power usage, faster read speeds, and enhanced program/erase efficiency, this solution is designed to meet the evolving demands of next-generation 1.2 V SoCs. As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation, we continue to expand our portfolio, providing customers with more efficient, reliable, and future-ready Flash solutions for new leading-edge applications”
