MX25U5121EMI-14G

MXIC Macronix · NOR FLASH · SOP-8

MX25U5121EMI-14G from MXIC Macronix, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CS# input Chip Select, active-low. Drive low to enable the flash and begin a serial transaction; drive high to deselect the device (puts SO into Hi-Z and forces the internal state machine back to Standby Mode). Must go high at a byte boundary for command execution.
2 SO/SIO1 bidirectional Serial Data Output in single/dual read; also serves as bidirectional Serial Data I/O bit 1 during 2x I/O read (DREAD) and 4x I/O read (4READ) modes. Data shifts out on the SCLK falling edge; Hi-Z when the chip is deselected.
3 WP#/SIO2 bidirectional Hardware Write Protect (active-low) when SRWD=1 in the Status Register - freezes the Status Register bits BP0/BP1/SRWD; also serves as bidirectional Serial Data I/O bit 2 during 4x I/O read (4READ) mode. Tie high through a pull-up if write protection is not used.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for both digital core and I/O. Connect to the system 0V rail.
5 SI/SIO0 bidirectional Serial Data Input for single-I/O mode; bidirectional Serial Data I/O bit 0 during 2x I/O read (DREAD) and 4x I/O read (4READ) modes. Data is latched on the rising edge of SCLK.
6 SCLK input Serial Clock input from the SPI master. Supports Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=0) up to 70MHz for fast-read commands. Input data is latched on the rising edge and output data shifts on the falling edge.
7 HOLD#/SIO3 bidirectional HOLD input (active-low): while CS# is low, driving HOLD# low pauses serial communication (SO goes Hi-Z, SI and SCLK are don't-care) without deselecting the chip; it does not stop an in-progress program/erase. Also serves as bidirectional Serial Data I/O bit 3 during 4x I/O read (4READ) mode. Tie high through a pull-up if HOLD is not used.
8 VCC power_in Single-supply power input, 1.65V to 2.0V (nominal 1.8V) for read, erase, and program. Latch-up protected to 100mA from -1V to VCC+1V. Decouple with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor close to the pin.
