128 Mbit NOR Flash with Quad-SPI — what it brings to the board
For a BOM line that still calls out this exact order code, procurement will need to source from independent distribution — new-old-stock or qualified surplus inventory. The 16-SOIC footprint and Quad-SPI interface mean a form-fit-function replacement would need to match the 7.50 mm body width and the same command set; the S25FL128P family is a common cross-shop candidate, but verify sector erase granularity and status register layout before committing a board spin.
Write-cycle timing and page program
Page program time is 3 ms typical, and word program time is 5 µs typical. For a 128 Mbit device, bulk erase or sector erase times are not listed here, but the page program figure sets the floor for firmware-update throughput: a 256-byte page at 3 ms means roughly 130 KB/s sustained write speed, adequate for infrequent OTA updates but not for streaming data logging.
