The IS25xQ family of (Industry Standard Serial Interface) Flash, otherwise referred to as ISSIFlash, are Multi I/O Serial NOR Flash devices designed with superset features to allow drop-in replacement reducing time to market and costly re-design efforts.

Manufacturers of computers, networking, wireless, industrial, communications, and consumer segments can now take advantage of volume availability of the recently introduced 3.0V devices: IS25CQ032 (32Mb), IS25LQ016 (16Mb), IS25LQ080 (8Mb), IS25LQ040 (4Mb), and IS25LQ020 (2Mb). Low Voltage 1.8V options are available in densities: IS25WQ080 (8Mb), IS25WQ040 (4Mb), and IS25WQ020 (2Mb).

These new Serial Flash memories are all available in the popular space-saving, cost effective, 8-pin SOIC package for initial release. These devices will be available in additional packages such as WSON, USON, VVSOP, and KGD in 2014.

These Serial Flash devices are manufactured using 90nm nFlash technology and are positioned to build on the success of ISSI's successful IS25xD family of Dual Serial Flash memories available in 256Kb to 4Mb densities. The new IS25xQ family of devices supports SPI, Dual-SPI, and Quad SPI operation to achieve the industry's highest-performance among Serial Flash memories.

Cost effective uniform 4KB sectors and 64KB Blocks maintain backward compatibility to ISSI's previous architecture as well as, drop-in replacements to other existing vendors. The finer 4KB sectors offer increased code density by allowing efficient memory allocation and storage of data -- features that are required in many Intel-based PC applications.

The packaging, performance, and flexibility make the IS25xQ family of Multi I/O Serial Flash ideal for numerous applications, such as tablets, desktops, notebooks, DVD players, recorders, WLAN, DSL, finger-print recognition, HDD, ODD, DECT, USB-Key, monitors, digital TVs, set-top-boxes, Bluetooth, printers, wearable computing, industrial machine vision and robotics control, as well as advanced driver's diagnostic systems.
