Okay, here's a good one. I need to store some .bmp files for retreival and display on an OLED display. Each file is 48KB, can't be compressed, and I will need at least 25 of them. The largest serial flash memory seems to be around 2 Meg. I'd like at least 8 Meg but I don't want it removable. Any ideas, or will I have to go SD?
And... On that note, has anyone got a line on micro SD card sockets?
Thanks,
Ron
No need for flash card, M25P16 will be more than enough. 16Mb and SPI. No need for extra annoying socket. small, cheap and reliable.

also W25P16VSFIG.

Both above are supported in my BKPrecision 844A.
Never used them so far.
Thanks Steve,
I have a 1 MByte chip from ST, but I would really like some acreage! How about the memory inside the thumb drives?
Thumb drive? USB ones? If so you should have a look to MAX3421E, this should do the trick. Nice reference http://www.ghielectronics.com/details.php?id=13
Those are in stock here... never had any time to play with... :(

How about the Atmel DataFlash chips? They're gettin' big these days (big as in good capacity)Quote:

$2.37USD each at Digikey.
I've also used the Atmel Dataflash (AT45DB321C (32MB)). Worked well with Shiftin/Shiftout. Also worked with the Hardware SPI, just a little harder to setup.Quote:

I found a supplier for the micro SD sockets. I was thinking of breaking out the old "FAT" code and installing it permanently on the board. For my proto, I will more than likely use the ST part. The down side to the SD card is the power consumption...but you can't beat the $15.- price!
Thanks for the leads,
Ron
I just checked Digikey. Searched for 'Atmel Dataflash' and clicked 'Items in Stock'. I get 42 results for parts in stock, ranging from 1Mbit up to 64Mbit parts.Quote:
