1.8V Serial Flash memory chip from Microchip for low power electronic devices

Microchip has introduced the SST25WF080 serial Flash-memory device, the newest member of the 25 series Serial Flash (SPI) memory family based on Microchip's SuperFlash Technology.

Some of the key features of SST25WF080 are:
1. It is a low-voltage (1.8V), 8 Mbit device
2. Low standby power consumption of 5 microamperes, active read current of 2 mA (typ., at 33 MHz) and is the highest-density product in the 25 series 1.8V Serial Flash (SPI) family.
3. It operates at a clock frequency of 75MHz
4. The device supports low-power electronic devices, such as tablet computers, hard-disk drives, Bluetooth headsets, Wi-Fi and wireless-control devices, as well as camera modules.

"Microchip is now the only company in the industry to offer a full 1.8V serial Flash memory product portfolio, with densities ranging from 512 Kbit to 8 Mbit," said Randy Drwinga, vice president of Microchip's Memory Products Group. "With its low power consumption and high-speed clock, the device enables longer battery life and extremely responsive systems in today's consumer electronic devices."
