W25Q128JV 128Mbit (16MB) SPI NOR Flash Memory IC – For Teensy 4.1 & Embedded Systems
The W25Q128JV from Winbond is a 128Mbit (16MB) SPI NOR flash memory IC – the second-largest capacity in the standard W25Q series, and a popular choice for Teensy 4.1 external flash, large BIOS images, and complex embedded applications. With 133MHz SPI clock support, Quad SPI (QSPI) capability, and the same standard SOP-8 pinout as all W25Q series devices, it's pin-compatible with W25Q32, W25Q64, and W25Q512 for easy capacity upgrades.
Electrical Specifications
- Part Number: W25Q128JV / W25Q128JVSIQ / W25Q128JVFIQ
- Package: SOP-8 (SMD, 1.27mm pitch)
- Capacity: 128Mbit = 16MB = 16,777,216 bytes
- Interface: Standard SPI / Dual SPI / Quad SPI (QSPI)
- Clock Frequency: Up to 133MHz (standard SPI)
- Effective Throughput (QSPI): Up to 532Mbps
- Supply Voltage: 2.7V – 3.6V
- Page Size: 256 bytes
- Sector Size: 4KB (individually erasable)
- Endurance: 100,000 erase/write cycles (minimum)
- Data Retention: 20 years (minimum)
- Operating Temperature: −40°C to +85°C
Teensy 4.1 External Flash
The W25Q128JV solders directly to the SOP-8 footprint on the bottom of the Teensy 4.1 board. Once installed, the 16MB flash is accessible via the LittleFS or SerialFlash library and appears as a USB drive when connected to a computer.
Typical Applications
- Teensy 4.1 external flash: 16MB storage for audio samples, data logging, and large programs
- BIOS / UEFI replacement: Large BIOS images for modern motherboards and laptops
- Router firmware: High-capacity firmware storage for advanced router configurations
- ESP32 external flash: 16MB firmware + large filesystem storage
- Data logging: High-capacity non-volatile storage for sensor data
Package Contents
- 1 × W25Q128JV SOP-8 128Mbit (16MB) SPI NOR flash memory IC
16MB of trusted Winbond SPI NOR flash – the W25Q128JV is the go-to choice for Teensy 4.1 external flash, large BIOS images, and any embedded application requiring more than 8MB of SPI storage.
