Working Principles

The S99FL032A0LMFI003 is based on NOR flash memory technology. It utilizes a floating gate transistor structure to store digital data. When programming, an electrical charge is applied to the floating gate, trapping electrons and altering the transistor's conductive properties. This allows for the storage of binary data as different voltage levels.

During read operations, the stored charge is measured, and the corresponding data is retrieved. The SPI interface facilitates communication between the flash memory and the host system, enabling seamless data transfer.
