APPLICATION NOTE
Migrating to MX25L512E and MX25L1006E
from MX25L512/512C and MX25L1005/1005C
1. Introduction
This application note is the migration guide from the MX25L512/MX25L512C to the MX25L512E, and
the MX25L1005/MX25L1005C to the MX25L1006E.
The MX25L512E and MX25L1006E are capable of Dual Output mode (Single Input / Dual Output).
In most applications, the MX25L512E and MX25L1006E are backward compatible with the
MX25L512/512C and MX25L1005/1005C, respectively, and do not require any firmware or hardware
modifications if the application continues to use them in Single I/O mode.
The information provided is based on the data available at the time. The MX25L512E and
MX25L1006E datasheets may override this application note if there is a different description for the
same specifications in the datasheets.
