GigaDevice has introduced its third-generation dual-voltage xSPI NOR Flash—the GD25NX series—featuring an innovative 1.8V core with 1.2V I/O interface. This design enables direct connection to 1.2V SoCs without level shifters, significantly reducing power consumption and BOM costs for applications including wearables, edge AI, and automotive electronics.
The series achieves an optimal balance between high speed and low power:
-
Supports 8-channel SPI mode with 200MHz clock frequency
-
Delivers 400MB/s peak data throughput
-
Offers 0.12ms typical write time and 27ms sector erase time
-
30% faster writing and 10% faster erasing than conventional 1.8V solutions
Power efficiency is equally impressive:
-
16mA read current in 8-channel STR mode
-
50% lower read power compared to traditional 1.8V interfaces
-
Extends battery life for portable and wearable devices
For demanding applications, the GD25NX series incorporates:
-
ECC algorithm and CRC verification for data integrity
-
DQS function for stable high-speed signal transmission
-
Meets rigorous requirements for data center servers and automotive systems
The series initially offers 64Mb and 128Mb densities in TFBGA24 and WLCSP packages. Samples of the GD25NX128J are now available for evaluation.
