{"title":"QSPI DIP Breakout Board - W25Q16 16Mbit / 2MB","handle":"adafruit-qspi-dip-breakout-board-w25q16-16-mbit-2-mbyte","url":"/products/adafruit-qspi-dip-breakout-board-w25q16-16-mbit-2-mbyte","description":"This breakout makes it much easier to prototype with external QSPI flash on modern microcontroller platforms such as RP2040, ESP32, RT10xx and STM32 designs. It converts a wide 8-SOIC flash package into a breadboard-friendly 0.3\" wide DIP format, which is handy when you want to test different flash sizes or add extra storage to a project.The board is fitted with a W25Q16JVSSIQ flash memory chip, providing 16 Megabits of storage, also described as 2 Mega-bytes. It uses 3.3V power and 3.3V logic only, so it should be paired with compatible hardware.The Q suffix on this chip means the Quad Enable bit is permanently set in the status register, so it is ready to use in QSPI mode straight out of the box. If you are using it in standard SPI mode, the hold and write protect pins do not do anything, so they should be connected to 3.3V. Adafruit also provides support through the Adafruit_SPIFlash library for Arduino, and the chip has a TOML definition file for use in CircuitPython board definitions. A strip of header is included for soldering on and plugging into a breadboard, or for replacing an existing socketed SPI flash DIP chip.Specifications:Product Dimensions: 11.2mm x 10.1mm x 3.5mm / 0.4\" x 0.4\" x 0.1\"A useful option for adding removable external code or asset storage during development, especially on 3.3V boards that support SPI or QSPI flash.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"QSPI Flash Breakout Board","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15532,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5632","mpn":"ADA5632","price":6.15,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":80}]}
