Add extra RAM to a Teensy 4.1 with this 8 Megabyte PSRAM chip. It is intended for projects that need more working memory than the onboard RAM can provide.
The chip is soldered to the smaller pads on the bottom side of the Teensy 4.1, underneath the SD card socket, between pins 31-32 and 33-34. Do not use the larger pads. A single PSRAM chip must be soldered to the smaller pads to be detected.
If 8 MB is not enough for your project, two PSRAM chips can be fitted for a total of 16 MB. Documentation includes Teensy 4.1 hookup details, a memory test program, and the APS6404L-3SQR datasheet.

A compact memory upgrade option for Teensy 4.1 builds that need additional PSRAM for larger buffers, data handling, or memory-intensive embedded projects.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- RAM
- RAM is temporary memory used while a device is running, and its contents are lost when power is removed. A “Run in RAM” mode is useful for testing settings without permanently programming the module, but it may not support every feature.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
