Working Principles

The GD25Q32CTJGR is based on the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. It utilizes a combination of clock and data signals to communicate with the host device. The chip select pin is used to enable or disable the chip for communication. The serial data input pin receives instructions or data from the host, while the serial data output pin transmits data back to the host. The chip supports various operations such as read, write, erase, and protect.
