APPLICATION NOTE
Comparison of
MX25L6435E and MX25L6465E
1. Introduction
This application note compares MX25L6435E and MX25L6465E. The document does not provide
detailed information on individual device, but highlights the similarities and differences between them.
The comparison covers the general features, performance, command sets and device ID.
MX25L6435E supports Dual Output mode (1I/2O: Single input / Dual output) and Quad Output mode
(1I/4O: Single input / Quad output).
MX25L6435E supports T/B (Top/Bottom) bit new function. However, MX25L6435E does not support
DTR mode.
The information provided is based on the data available at the time. MX25L6435E and MX25L6465E
datasheets may override this application note if there is a different description for the same
specification in the datasheets.
Please refer to the contents and comparison tables below for more details.
