Migrating to MX25L1633E from MX25L1635D

APPLICATION NOTE
Migrating to MX25L1633E from MX25L1635D
1. Introduction
Macronix introduced the MX25L1633E family of product, based on the latest generation 110nm
process technology, to replace MX25L1635D. This Application Note provides a comparison
between the two products.
For more detailed information on MX25L1633E, please refer to the datasheet published on our
website.
2. Feature Comparison
MX25L1633E and MX25L1635D are identical in forms, fit and functions with the exception of one
feature. The MX25L1633E no longer supports Continuous Program (CP) Mode.
