Obsolete — what the lifecycle status means for procurement
For production builds, the only supply channel is independent distribution — surplus, new-old-stock, or broker-sourced inventory. Any lot should be date-code verified and tested for reliability before insertion, especially if the original PCN window has passed.
Quad I/O interface — bus compatibility and throughput
The SPI Quad I/O interface at 104 MHz delivers a raw read throughput of up to 52 MB/s in quad mode (four data lines at 104 MHz). This is enough to support direct code execution from the flash for many MCUs and low-end FPGAs without a separate RAM cache. The interface is backward-compatible with standard SPI, so it can drop into a legacy single-I/O bus during bring-up or fallback.
24-BGA package — footprint and rework notes
The device comes in a 24-ball BGA package measuring 8 mm x 6 mm (supplier device package 24-BGA (8x6)). The footprint is compact, so decoupling capacitance should sit within 5 mm of the supply balls to keep transient noise under 100 mV.
