I suspect they have multiple devices or arrays writing in parallel to achieve those speeds. The WinBond SPI chips can't really compare: page program speed is 0.7ms for 256 bytes, which translates to 0.360MB/s, which is 100x slower than Team Corp.’s fastest Micro SD cards at ~40MB/s. I haven't had any need for very fast flash memory write performance, but SD flash comes in many different product SKUs based on speed (mostly due to the demands of digital photography and the use of raw image formats). Since dynamic power is proportional to frequency, I can't imagine power would be less. I wasn't able to find power data on the high-end super-fast SD cards, but the write speed is about 100x that of the WinBond. The WinBond chips I focus on in this Instructable require very little power, 6uW standby, 60mW page program, and 60mW chip erase. SD cards are typically higher leakage power due to the higher densities, and higher dynamic power due to the higher access speeds. WinBond 1MB chips cost about $2 from Mouser or Digikey.Įnergy requirements of flash depend on the manufacturer, production lot, device density, and process technology. SD cards range in price dramatically, and with an SD flash shield, can set you back $20-$30. The SDFat library means any PC/MAC can read the files on the card. Discrete SPI flash has lower density limits in the 8-pin DIP format. SD flash wins big here, simply pop in a larger capacity SD card into the existing design with no modifications. Maybe this says more about me than the SDFat libraries, but I find them cumbersome to work with.

The software required to drive a discrete flash chip with an SPI interface is trivial and very small, as you will soon see. Compatibility and integration into your build environment may require significant debug. These libraries are large and can take up precious EEPROM space on smaller embedded controllers. While the devices are an SPI interface, it makes sense to use FAT since any PC/MAC can then read this card. The SD flash subsystem commonly relies on the SDFat16/32 libraries. An 8-pin DIP package of a discrete flash chip is much easier to drop on a protoboard than an SD shield, assuming your development board even supports a shield. While shields provide convenience for prototyping, the final production assembly might not have the budget or the space to include SD hardware. One way to add SD flash to an Arduino system is to use a shield, such as this one by Seeed Studio (three 'e's) I bought at my local Radio Shack for $15. Used either for in-system programming or as a stand-alone serial flash programmer for the Atmel SPI programmable. Accessing Serial Flash Memory Using SPI Interface 4 spi_flash_read ().

Driver Application Programming Interfaces. Accessing Serial Flash Memory Using SPI Interface. I am attaching schematics for the connection between DSP. I have a custom board using BF-547 and serial SPI flash. The list below contains a few tradeoffs I think about when I need to decide if I want to use a single 8-pin DIP chip or a full-on SD solution: This is also a follow-on to my other twoll need to consider these tradeoffs for your design.

This Instructable will show you how to add 1MB of discrete external flash memory to your microcontroller project with what I believe to be the least amount of effort possible.
Designing with discrete flash is 1/10th the cost, uses a much smaller form factor, and requires significantly less specialized hardware than using SD flash cards.
