In this section, we will explain the operating principle of the circuit using the W25Q128JVSIM flash memory. This chip utilizes the SPI protocol for communication with the host system.
SPI Communication: The device communicates with the microcontroller or other devices using Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), a simple communication protocol. The four main signals involved in SPI communication are:
CS (Chip Select): Used to select the device.
SCK (Serial Clock): Synchronizes data transfers.
SO (Serial Output): Sends data out of the chip to the microcontroller.
SI (Serial Input): Receives data from the microcontroller.
Voltage and Ground: VCC and VSS are used to supply the necessary power and ground to the device. The chip operates with typical voltages of 3.3V or 1.8V.
Write Protection: The WP pin can be used to prevent write operations. When WP is low, writing to the chip is allowed, while when it's high, writes are disabled.
