Description:
The 65 nm Spansion® FL-S NOR Flash memory family has over 20% faster double data rate (DDR) read speeds and three times the programming speed over competing serial Flash solutions. The Spansion FL-S delivers leading performance, automotive grade temperature ranges and in some applications, eliminates the need for DRAM. Engineers are increasingly demanding these attributes for improving the user experience and designing innovative, graphic-rich, stylish designs in next generation electronics. The product family is available from 128 Mb (megabit) to 1 Gb (gigabit).
