Serial Flash Memory - W25Q32FV (32Mb, 104MHz, SOIC-8)
The W25Q32FV (32M-bit) Serial Flash memory provides a storage solution for systems with limited space, pins, and power. This small SMD IC series offers flexi...
The W25Q32FV operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply with current consumption as low as 4mA active and 1µA for power-down. We recommend using this IC with the SparkFun Qwiic Micro to expand its memory capabilities.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Flash memory
- Non-volatile memory that keeps stored data even when power is removed. In this sensor, it matters because enrolled fingerprint templates can remain saved after the project is turned off.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
- 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.
