Automotive-grade NOR Flash for code and data storage
It stores firmware, calibration tables, and boot code in a non-volatile memory array organized as 32 M x 8 bits.
133 MHz Quad SPI — bus margin for fast boot
The Quad I/O and QPI modes reduce the pin count compared to parallel NOR, saving board area while maintaining the read bandwidth needed for fast system boot and over-the-air update staging. The 256 Mbit density provides headroom for multiple firmware images plus a configuration data block.
8-WSON package with exposed pad — thermal and layout notes
The pad also provides a low-inductance ground return for the SPI signals.
