|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFF Compatibility | Pinout assignments are physically compatible for standard SPI routing, but naming conventions differ due to the added support for bidirectional Quad-SPI (I/O0 to I/O3) on pins 2, 3, 5, and 7.Housed in an identical 8-SOIC (150 mil / 3.90 mm width) narrow package with the same lead pitch and footprint.Features the same 16Mbit (2M x 8) density, operates over the target temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and fully meets or exceeds all electrical parameters. | The physical pinout is compatible for SPI mode, but naming conventions differ (e.g. CE# instead of S#, VDD instead of VCC, and support for multi-I/O signals).Housed in an identical JEDEC-standard 8-SOIC (150 mil width) package.Meets the 16Mbit capacity, -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and 2.7V to 3.6V supply voltage. | ||
 AI Summary | M25P16-VMN6P by STMicroelectronics: NOR Flash 16MBIT SFLASH MEM. | The AT25SF161B is a highly reliable, active serial NOR flash replacement from Renesas that serves as a direct upgrade to the obsolete M25P16 series. It operates over a wider voltage range (2.5V to 3.6V) and supports a higher clock frequency of 108 MHz compared to the original 75 MHz. This active line provides a secure long-term supply path for existing designs.
| The SST26VF016B is an active, industry-standard serial NOR flash that utilizes Microchip's high-performance SuperFlash technology. It is a robust drop-in alternative for the obsolete ST M25P16, offering faster page program times (1.5 ms vs 5 ms) and an increased clock frequency of 104 MHz. This active device offers high endurance and excellent long-term production availability.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
All your BOM, at once
Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.
Hear about problems before they hit production
Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.
Qualified replacements in minutes, not days
Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The STMicroelectronics M25P16-VMN6P is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
The closest qualified second sources for the STMicroelectronics M25P16-VMN6P are the AT25SF161B-SSHD-T (Renesas Electronics Corporation) and the SST26VF016B-104I/SN (Microchip Technology), out of 4 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Not always. The alternatives to the M25P16-VMN6P are matched on function but can differ in package, pinout or a key parameter, so review the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet before designing one in.
