Working Principles

The M25P80-VMC6TG TR utilizes a floating-gate transistor structure to store data. When programming, an electrical charge is trapped in the floating gate, altering the transistor's behavior and representing a binary value. Erasing the memory involves removing the trapped charge, resetting the transistor to its initial state. The serial interface facilitates communication between the host device and the flash memory chip, enabling data transfer and control operations.
