W25X40BVSSIG

W25X40BVSSIG is a Winbond 4-Mbit serial SPI flash memory. It provides persistent code/data storage for microcontrollers and embedded systems via an 8-pin package (SSIG code).
Key points:
- Capacity: 4 Mbit (512 KB)
- Interface: SPI (single I/O), supports standard and fast read commands
- Voltage: 2.7–3.6 V operation
- Speed: up to tens of MHz (typical fast-read rates; check datasheet for exact clock limits)
- Memory organization: 256-byte pages; 4 KB sectors; 64 KB blocks
- Operations: read, page program, sector/block erase, with WEL/WIP status bits; supports deep power-down
- Packaging: 8-pin RoHS-compliant package (SSIG)
Typical uses: firmware/boot code storage, data logging, firmware updates. For exact timing, command set, and packaging details, consult the Winbond W25X40BV datasheet.
