Working Principles

The GD25LD80CTIGR utilizes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to communicate with the host system. It stores digital information in non-volatile memory cells, which retain data even when power is disconnected. The SPI interface allows for high-speed data transfer between the device and the host, enabling efficient read and write operations. The flash memory can be erased at the sector level and programmed at the byte or page level, providing flexibility in data management.
