The S25FL164K0XNFV013: It communicates over an SPI Quad I/O interface running at up to 108 MHz — the quad-lane read mode delivers the throughput needed for execute-in-place (XIP) code shadowing without a separate DRAM buffer. The 3 ms page write time sets the programming latency for firmware updates — budget this into the OTA or in-system programming window.
Surface-mount assembly on standard FR-4 with the exposed pad soldered to the board's copper pour. The 8-pin WSON footprint is common across the FL1-K family, so a single PCB layout serves multiple density options if the BOM changes.
