The A25L016 is 16M bit Serial Flash Memory, with advanced write protection mechanisms, accessed by a high speed SPI-compatible bus. The memory can be programmed 1 to 256 bytes at a time,using the Page Program instruction. The memory is organized as 32 blocks, each containing 16sectors. Each sector is composed of 16 pages. Each page is 256 bytes wide. Thus, the whole memory can be viewed as consisting of 8,192 pages, or 2,097,152 bytes. The whole memory can be erased using the Chip Erase instruction, a block at a time, using Block Erase instruction, or a sector at a time, using the Sector Erase instruction.
