Working Principles

The W25Q16BVZPIG operates based on the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. It uses a combination of clock and data signals to transfer data between the flash memory and the host device. The memory is organized into sectors, which can be individually erased or programmed. The chip select signal (/CS) is used to enable communication with the memory. The SPI interface allows for high-speed data transfer, making it suitable for applications that require fast access to stored data.
