Reading an SPI Flash datasheet, I encountered the concepts of "dual I/O" and "quad I/O". At first I thought that "dual I/O" was synonymous to "full duplex", but then what is "quad I/O"?
What is dual I/O and quad I/O, and how do they compare do duplex and full duplex?
Answer
A multi I/O SPI device is capable of supporting increased bandwidth or throughput from a single device. A dual I/O (two-bit data bus) interface enables transfer rates to double compared to the standard serial Flash memory devices. A quad I/O (four-bit data bus) interface improves throughput four times.
