GigaDevice Expands SPI NOR Flash Lineup to Support AI and Low-Power Devices
Event summary
- GigaDevice has expanded its GD25UF series SPI NOR Flash memory range from 8Mb to 256Mb.
- The series operates at 1.2V, aligning with low-voltage SoC trends and reducing power consumption by 50-70% compared to 1.8V Flash.
- Applications include AI computing, wearables, medical devices, and IoT, with support for Single, Dual, Quad, and DTR Quad SPI modes.
- The series offers up to 80MB/s data throughput and is available in multiple packages including WLCSP for compact designs.
- Mass production has begun with operating temperature ranges suitable for industrial and automotive applications.
The big picture
GigaDevice's expansion of its GD25UF series reflects the growing demand for low-power, high-performance storage solutions in AI and IoT applications. As semiconductor processes advance toward lower operating voltages, the company's alignment with 1.2V SoCs positions it to capitalize on the trend toward energy-efficient system architectures. The move also underscores the increasing importance of reliable local non-volatile storage in AI servers and edge devices.
