Migrating MX25L1025C to MX25L1026E

APPLICATION NOTE
Migrating to MX25L1026E from MX25L1025C
1. Introduction
This application note is the migration guide from the MX25L1025C to the MX25L1026E.
The MX25L1026E is capable of Dual Output mode (Single Input / Dual Output). In most applications,
the MX25L1026E is backward compatible with the MX25L1025C, 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 MX25L1026E datasheet
may override this application note if there is a different description for the same specifications in the
datasheet.
