Working Principles

The S25FL132K0XMFV040 utilizes the principles of NAND flash memory technology. It stores data by trapping electric charges within floating gate transistors. These charges represent binary information (0s and 1s) and can be electrically programmed or erased.

During a write operation, the device applies a high voltage to the control gate of a transistor, allowing electrons to tunnel through a thin oxide layer onto the floating gate. This process traps the charge, altering the transistor's conductive properties and storing data.

When reading data, the device applies appropriate voltages to the memory cells and measures the resulting electrical current. The presence or absence of trapped charges determines the output signal, indicating the stored data.
