Product Overview

The Micron MT25QL256ABA1EW9-0SIT is a 256Mb (32,768K x 8) high-performance serial NOR Flash memory from the MT25Q family[reference:0][reference:1][reference:2]. Operating from a standard 2.7V to 3.6V power supply[reference:3][reference:4][reference:5][reference:6], it supports standard SPI, Dual SPI, and Quad SPI modes, with a maximum clock frequency of 133 MHz in Quad I/O mode[reference:7][reference:8][reference:9][reference:10][reference:11], delivering a read throughput of up to 90 MB/s[reference:12][reference:13][reference:14]. This makes it ideal for execute‑in‑place (XIP), fast booting, and code storage in industrial, networking, and embedded systems[reference:15][reference:16][reference:17][reference:18].

The device is organized as 32,768 programmable pages of 256 bytes each, with a flexible erase architecture: 4KB sectors, 32KB/64KB blocks, and full chip erase[reference:19][reference:20]. Housed in a compact 8‑pad WPDFN (6x8mm) package[reference:21][reference:22][reference:23][reference:24][reference:25], it operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C[reference:26][reference:27][reference:28][reference:29]. With 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20‑year data retention[reference:30][reference:31][reference:32], the MT25QL256ABA delivers the endurance and reliability required for industrial control, communications, medical devices, and automotive aftermarket applications[reference:33].

⚡ Quad SPI Performance & Modes

Standard SPI (1-1-1)
Single I/O: 133 Mbps
Compatible with all SPI hosts
Dual SPI (1-1-2)
2‑bit read: 266 Mbps
Good speed / pin trade‑off
Quad SPI (1-4-4)
4‑bit read: Up to 90 MB/s (720 Mbps)[reference:112][reference:113]
Optimal XIP performance

The MT25QL256ABA supports QPI (Quad Peripheral Interface) mode where all commands and addresses are transmitted over 4 I/O lines. It also features Single and Double Transfer Rate (STR/DTR) modes[reference:114][reference:115], providing flexibility for high‑speed random access and enabling seamless execute‑in‑place (XIP) without code shadowing to RAM[reference:116][reference:117].

🔒 Security & Write Protection Features

🔑 Unique 64‑bit Device ID
Each MT25QL256ABA is factory‑programmed with a unique serial number, enabling device authentication, anti‑counterfeiting, and simple inventory tracking.

📦 OTP (One‑Time Programmable) Register
A dedicated OTP area for permanent storage of encryption keys, serial numbers, or manufacturing data. The OTP region can be locked permanently to prevent further writes.

🛡️ Flexible Write Protection
The Block Protection bits allow software‑defined protection of up to 50% of the memory[reference:118]. When the hardware WP# pin is driven low, the status register becomes read‑only, preventing any modification to the protection scheme[reference:119].

⏸️ Program/Erase Suspend
During a long erase operation (up to 400ms for 64KB block), the host can issue a suspend command, perform a read from another sector, and then resume the erase without data corruption[reference:120][reference:121].
