The S25FL256SDSMFI001: The 80 MHz clock rate is the part's top-end SPI clock. In Quad I/O mode, that translates to a sustained read throughput.
The official product status for this order code is listed as Active, but the part also carries an EOL-hot flag in the sourcing channel.
Housed in a 16-SOIC package with a 7.50 mm body width and 0.295 inch lead pitch, the part is a surface-mount device intended for reflow soldering. The 16-SOIC footprint is common across multiple NOR Flash densities in the FL-S family, so a board layout designed for this part can accommodate a density upgrade or a second-source alternate without a PCB change — as long as the alternate shares the same pinout and supply range.
