Replace spi flash winbond 25q64cvfig by what?

[Netweaver]

Hi,
I need to replace this (soic-16?) flash ship by a working one but I can't find the exact same *fig version on Ali. Can I replace with a generic w25q64cv soic-16 chip?
Or replace with double size w25q128bvfg/*fvfg, since I cann't readily find sop-16 w25q64cv anymore?
Thanks

From the datasheet the SOIC-16 300mil package can have two markings: 25Q64CVFIG and 25Q64CVFIP (industrial temperature) and 25Q64CVFAG and 25Q64CVFAP (automotive).
So it's only related to the package type itself - and temperature range. For a replacement, make sure the package is a SOIC-16 *300mil*, all that matters here. (package width: 300mil = 7.62mm)

Why on Ali? There are plenty of them everywhere:

My bad. But minimum ordering amount is 50€ for free transport. Otherwise it's for the chip 1.1€ + 18€ transport, that's a bit overkill. Of course I would have bought 10 or so, but still. I have just received a shipment from them. If I had some other stuff I needed extra now, I could have combined it, from digikey (or tme or other local distributor).

Speed (and quality) & more expensive  vs. Slower and potential less quality but cheaper...
