### 2. Key Electronic Features
#### A. Octal Interface (x8 I/O)
Unlike standard SPI which uses 1 data line, or Quad SPI which uses 4, this chip uses **8 data lines**. This allows for significantly higher throughput, reaching up to **208 MB/s** when operating at 104 MHz in Double Data Rate (DDR) mode.
#### B. Pseudo-SRAM Architecture
* **Internal DRAM:** The storage core is actually DRAM, which allows for a much smaller physical size per bit compared to traditional SRAM.
* **Self-Refresh:** The "Pseudo" aspect means the chip handles all DRAM refresh cycles internally. To the system controller (CPU/MCU), it looks and behaves like a standard static RAM.
#### C. Variable/Fixed Latency
The device supports configurable latency settings. This allows the system to balance between fast initial access and high-speed continuous data streaming.
