512 Kbit SPI Flash in an 8-SOIC — what it fits
The Microchip SST25VF512-20-4C-SAE-T is a 512 Kbit serial Flash memory using the SPI interface, organized as 64K x 8.
20 MHz SPI — throughput for code shadowing
The 20 MHz SPI clock delivers a raw serial read rate of 20 Mbit/s, enough to shadow a small firmware image into an MCU's RAM or serve configuration data to a display controller. The 20 µs page write time keeps the programming window short for the 512 Kbit array — useful when the host processor has a tight polling loop.
