Migrating to MX25L3206E from MX25L3205D
1. Introduction
This application note introduces the related notices for migrating to MX25L3206E from MX25L3205D.
The document does not provide detailed information on individual devices, but highlights the
similarities and differences between them. The comparison covers the general features, performance,
command set and device ID.
MX25L3206E supports new features, the Dual Output mode (Single Input / Dual Output), but no longer
supports x2 I/O (Dual Input / Dual Output), Continuous Program (CP) mode and ACC function.
The information provided is based on the data available at the time the document is released.
MX25L3206E datasheet may override this application note if there are content differences in the latest
datasheet.
Please refer to the contents and comparison tables below for more details.

2. General Features
2-1: Feature Comparison
The Dual Output mode (1I/2O) is one of the new features of the MX25L3206E, and the most advanced
technique is that this new product accepts wide range of clock rate from DC (Direct Current)~ 86MHz
for frequency control from host system.
In Single I/O mode, MX25L3206E is identical in forms and functions with the MX25L3205D.
In comparison with the previous generations, MX25L3206E no longer supports Continuous Program
(CP) mode and Program/Erase Acceleration (ACC) function (for fast Program/Erase by 9.5~10.5V
high voltage input on WP#/ACC pin). The removal of the ACC mode means that the high voltage can
no longer be applied to the WP# pin. Doing this will damage the MX25L3206E. Make sure that the
programmer does not use the ACC mode.
For the difference between these products, please check the comparison tables below for the details.

3. Command Set Comparison
MX25L3206E is capable of new features and their command sets for Dual Output mode (1I/2O, Single
Input / Dual Output).
MX25L3206E does not support x2 I/O (Dual Input / Dual Output) and CP (Continuous Program). All
commands of MX25L3205D for x2 I/O are not available, such as 2READ.
User has to check the differences in detail by comparison tables below. For the details of command
sets function, please refer to the datasheet of each product.
