Spansion Introduces Industry's Fastest 1.8V High-Speed Serial NOR Flash MemorySUNNYVALE, Calif., March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Spansion Inc. (NYSE: CODE), a global leader in embedded systems solutions, today introduced the newest 512Mb density member of the FS-S serial NOR flash family. Spansion's FS-S family boasts the industry's fastest 1.8V serial peripheral interface (SPI) read performance at 80MBytes/s with quad DDR (Double Data Rate) at 80MHz clock speeds, 50% faster than most other high-density 1.8V SPI devices currently available. The FS-S 512Mb device also supports reads operation at 133MHz clock speeds in single, dual, and quad IO mode as well as fast programming throughput of 1.08MB/s. "The fast read speed and programming throughput, advanced security features and deep power-down mode capability make the FS-S products ideal for mid- to high-end wearables, automotive infotainment and telematics, tolling systems, FPGAs and wireless base stations," stated Anup Sidhu, director of SPI product marketing. "The product family is an excellent solution for systems with limited space, signal connections and power, as well as for code shadowing to RAM, executing code directly (XIP) and storing reprogrammable data." Spansion FS-S devices are offered in the industrial (-40C to +85C) and industrial plus (-40C to +105C) temperature ranges. These products reduce the number of signals for connection to the host system by serially transferring all control, address and data information over four to six signals reducing the cost of the memory package and signal switching power, as well as either reducing the host connection count or freeing the host connectors for use in providing other features.
