Working Principles

The M25P20-VMP6TG TR is based on Serial NOR Flash technology. It utilizes the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for communication with the host device. The memory cells store data using floating-gate transistors, which retain their charge even when power is removed. The SPI interface allows for efficient data transfer between the memory and the host device.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The M25P20-VMP6TG TR is commonly used in various electronic devices that require non-volatile data storage. Some typical application fields include: - Consumer electronics (e.g., smartphones, tablets, digital cameras) - Automotive systems (e.g., infotainment systems, instrument clusters) - Industrial equipment (e.g., control systems, data loggers) - Medical devices (e.g., patient monitors, diagnostic equipment)
