Pin Function Specification:
Below is a detailed pinout for the W25Q80DVSSIG SOIC-8 package:
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 VSS Ground connection. Must be connected to the system's ground. 2 SO Serial Output. This pin is used for transmitting data from the device to the microcontroller or other devices. 3 WP Write Protect. This pin is used to protect the memory from being written to when it is held low. 4 VCC Supply voltage. Typically, this pin requires a voltage in the range of 2.7V to 3.6V. 5 SI Serial Input. This pin is used to input data into the device. 6 SCK Serial Clock . This pin is used to clock data in and out of the device via the SPI interface . 7 HOLD Hold Pin. When this pin is held low, the device will pause its operation (freeze SPI activity). 8 NC No Connection. This pin is not internally connected to any function in the chip. It is left open.Pin Function FAQs:
What is the purpose of the VSS pin? The VSS pin is used for the ground connection. It needs to be connected to the system's ground to ensure proper operation. What does the SO pin do? The SO pin is the Serial Output pin, which transmits data from the chip to the microcontroller or other devices. Can I leave the WP pin disconnected? No, the WP pin should be either tied high (to allow writes) or low (to enable write protection). Leaving it floating can cause undefined behavior. What is the required voltage for the VCC pin? The VCC pin requires a voltage between 2.7V to 3.6V to operate correctly. What is the function of the SI pin? The SI pin is the Serial Input pin. It is used to send data into the flash memory during the write or programming operations. What does the SCK pin do? The SCK pin is the Serial Clock pin. It synchronizes the data transfer between the SPI master and the memory chip. What is the role of the HOLD pin? The HOLD pin is used to pause or hold the SPI communication when held low, allowing control over the memory access during critical operations. What does the NC pin signify? The NC (No Connection) pin is not connected to any internal function within the chip and should not be used. How can I perform a read operation using the W25Q80DVSSIG? To perform a read, the SPI master must send a read command through the SI pin, and data will be received through the SO pin.What happens if I tie the WP pin low?
If the WP pin is tied low, the memory will be write-protected, meaning no data can be written to the memory.Can the W25Q80DVSSIG be used in high-speed applications?
Yes, the chip supports high-speed SPI operations, allowing for efficient data transfers.What are the voltage ranges for VCC and VSS?
The VCC voltage should be between 2.7V and 3.6V, while the VSS pin is connected to ground (0V).Is it safe to leave the HOLD pin disconnected?
It is recommended to pull the HOLD pin high when not in use. Leaving it floating might cause unpredictable behavior.Can I use the W25Q80DVSSIG for continuous data storage?
Yes, the chip is designed for non-volatile storage, which means data will be retained even when the Power is removed.What is the significance of the VCC and VSS pins for the proper operation?
Proper connections to VCC and VSS are essential for powering the chip. VCC provides the supply voltage, while VSS is ground.How can I erase the data on the W25Q80DVSSIG?
The chip provides a sector erase command via the SPI interface to clear specific memory sectors.Can I use the W25Q80DVSSIG in a 5V system?
No, the W25Q80DVSSIG is not designed for 5V systems; it requires a voltage between 2.7V and 3.6V.What are the operating conditions for the chip?
The chip operates in the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and requires a power supply voltage of 2.7V to 3.6V.How do I initiate a write operation?
A write operation is initiated by sending a write command via the SI pin, with appropriate data on the SCK pin for clock synchronization.Can the W25Q80DVSSIG be used in automotive applications?
Yes, it can be used in automotive systems as long as it operates within the required temperature and voltage ranges.Pinout Table:
