If your BOM still references this order code, the procurement decision is whether to qualify a replacement or source remaining inventory through distribution that can trace stock provenance.
128 Mbit NOR Flash with Quad-SPI at 104 MHz
This is a 128 Mbit (16M x 8) NOR Flash memory from Cypress's FL-P series, organized as 16M x 8 bits. It uses an SPI interface with Quad I/O support, meaning it can transfer four bits per clock cycle, and is rated for a clock frequency of 104 MHz. That combination delivers read throughput sufficient for XiP (eXecute-in-Place) code storage in embedded systems where a separate RAM cache is not available. The memory is non-volatile NOR Flash, which provides fast random-read access and byte-rewrite capability, making it suitable for firmware storage, configuration data, and boot code in industrial and telecom equipment.
The supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V aligns with standard 3.3V logic rails. It comes in a 24-ball TBGA package measuring 8x6 mm (supplier device package 24-BGA). The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the shipping medium, not the device case.
Write-cycle timing and endurance context
Page write time is 3 ms typical, and word write time is 5 µs. These figures matter when sizing the firmware update window: a full 128 Mbit erase-and-write cycle takes longer than the page write suggests, because NOR Flash requires a sector erase before programming. Plan for the erase granularity when designing OTA or field-update routines.
