AEC-Q100 NOR Flash for automotive and industrial code storage
It uses a SPI Quad I/O interface running at up to 66 MHz, organized as 16M x 8 bits, and operates from a 2.7V to 3.6V supply. The 24-ball BGA package (6x8 mm body) keeps the footprint compact for space-constrained ECU and ADAS module layouts.
Quad-SPI throughput and memory organization
Quad-SPI at 66 MHz delivers a read throughput that can keep a Cortex-M or RISC-V core fed for execute-in-place (XIP) code shadowing without stalling. The 128 Mbit density (16 MB) suits firmware images, bootloaders, and calibration tables in automotive gateways, battery management systems, and infotainment head units. The NOR architecture provides fast random-access read and reliable code execution, unlike NAND which requires error correction and block management.
Package and mounting — 24-ball BGA rework notes
The surface-mount BGA footprint demands careful PCB land pattern design; the supplier device package is marked as 24-BGA (6x8).
