Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GD25VE16CSIGR is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Memory capacity: 16Mbit (2M x 8 organization)
• Interface protocol: SPI with Quad I/O capability
• Clock frequency: 104 MHz minimum
• Package: 8-SOIC form factor with identical pin pitch and dimensions
• Supply voltage compatibility: Overlapping operational range
• Temperature rating: Matching or exceeding -40°C to 85°C range
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 and REACH status alignment

The GD25VQ16CSIGR meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer, with identical memory specifications, interface characteristics, and package configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GD25VQ16CSIGR is a direct functional substitute for the discontinued GD25VE16CSIGR. Both devices share identical memory capacity, interface protocol, clock frequency, package configuration, and thermal operating range. The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and equivalent MSL rating, ensuring compatibility with existing supply chain and manufacturing processes.

The primary distinction is product status: GD25VQ16CSIGR is currently in active production with verified availability, whereas GD25VE16CSIGR is discontinued. The substitute exhibits a marginally narrower supply voltage range (2.3V minimum versus 2.1V minimum), which is acceptable for applications operating within the 2.3V to 3.6V window. Write cycle timing specifications are provided for the substitute part, offering additional design reference data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GD25VQ16CSIGR replace GD25VE16CSIGR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent 16Mbit SPI Quad I/O Flash memory devices in 8-SOIC packaging with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The GD25VE16CSIGR is discontinued, while GD25VQ16CSIGR is an active production equivalent from GigaDevice. The substitute offers the same performance characteristics with current availability.

Q: Are there voltage supply compatibility concerns?

A: The substitute part specifies a minimum supply voltage of 2.3V compared to 2.1V for the original. Applications operating at 2.1V to 2.3V require verification against the substitute datasheet. For systems operating at 2.3V or higher, no compatibility issues exist.

Q: Is the package footprint identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use 8-SOIC packaging with 0.209" width and 5.30mm body dimensions. PCB layouts and solder reflow profiles require no modification.

Q: Do compliance certifications match?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours). Manufacturing and storage procedures remain unchanged.
