Silicon Storage Technology (SST) has announced what it says is the industry’s first 1.8V, high-speed quad-bit serial flash memory.
Featuring an 80 MHz operating frequency and a specialized instruction set, the new 26WF Series Serial Quad I/O (SQI) family of 4-bit multiplexed I/O serial interface devices enables execute-in-place (XIP) capability, allowing programs to be stored and executed directly from the flash memory without the need for code shadowing on an SRAM.
The 26WF Series, a 1.8V quad I/O serial flash product, marries the performance typically associated with parallel flash memory, with the low pin count and space savings of serial flash memory, plus reduced power. This combination of high performance and low power consumption is ideal for mobile handsets, Bluetooth headsets, GPS devices and other small form factor, portable electronics, according to the folks at SST.
