1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W55Fxx is a serial flash memory series that is typically used as the contents upgradeable
memory device of Internet toy applications, or applications with W51300 (VoiceRecorderTM controller)
for voice message storage device. Besides that, W55Fxx can still be the W551Cxxx (Serial Voice
Memory) program or data emulator. The single voltage supply eliminates the need for an extra pump
circuit during flash memory cells programming and erasing.
1.1 W55Fxx Product Selection Guide
W55Fxx Serial Flash Memory is used to store pre-determined data or contents need to be
upgradeable applications. To communicate with W55Fxx in serial data mode, the connection interface
total pin counts can be reduced to five pins only. The following table is shown the product selection
guide of part number vs. memory density.
PART # W55F01* W55F01B* W55F05B* W55F10A W55F10B* W55F10BG W55F20
Density 128K bits 128K bits 512K bits 1M bits 1M bits 1M bits 2M bits
Notice:
1. * indicated prohibits cascade application just for single chip application only.
2. W55F10BG is lead free package version.
3. Programming voltage: W55Fxxx for high voltage (5Vmin.).
