Package Type and Pin Count
The W25Q256JVEIQ is typically available in the WSON-8 or SOIC-8 package, which includes a dual, 8-pin configuration. However, I will clarify the pin functions for a typical 8-pin package configuration based on the part's general specifications.
Here is a detailed pin-out list for the W25Q256JVEIQ (8-pin):
Pin Number Pin Name Function Description 1 VSS Ground pin (0V) - Common return path for internal circuitry. 2 DO Serial Data Output - Data output from memory to external devices. 3 CLK Serial Clock - Input clock to synchronize data transfer. 4 /CS Chip Select - Used to select the device for communication. 5 DI Serial Data Input - Data input from external device to memory. 6 WP Write Protect - Protects the device from accidental write operations when tied low. 7 VCC Power Supply Pin - Typically connected to a +3.3V or +2.8V supply. 8 HOLD Hold - Pauses operation for debugging or saving power.Explanation of Each Pin Function:
VSS (Pin 1): Ground pin for the device. The logic reference for all other signals is connected to this pin. DO (Pin 2): This pin is used for serial data output. Data is transmitted from the memory device during read operations. CLK (Pin 3): This is the clock pin. The serial data transmission is synchronized with the clock pulses provided on this pin. /CS (Pin 4): Chip Select is active low. This pin is used to select the memory device for communication. If /CS is low, the device is active and ready for data transactions. DI (Pin 5): Serial Data Input. Data from the external device is provided here during write operations. WP (Pin 6): This pin allows you to prevent writing to the memory device when it is low, providing a means of write protection. VCC (Pin 7): This is the power supply pin, typically at 3.3V, to power the chip's internal circuitry. HOLD (Pin 8): This pin is used to pause the current operation. It allows for controlling the chip during programming or data transmission to save power or for other control purposes.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
