Product details
Overview
AT25DF041B-SSHN-B from Renesas Electronics is a 4-Mbit serial SPI Flash memory IC designed for code shadowing and embedded data storage in resource-constrained systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V across –40 °C to +85 °C, supports SPI Modes 0/3 and Dual-I/O read, delivers 104 MHz max clock frequency with 6 ns clock-to-output delay, and integrates hardware write protection via WP pin.
For engineers reviewing the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B datasheet, AT25DF041B-SSHN-B pinout, AT25DF041B-SSHN-B application, or AT25DF041B-SSHN-B equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-I/O throughput optimization, flexible erase granularity (256-byte page to 64-kByte block), OTP security register usage, and industrial-temperature operation without external voltage boosters.
Technical Context
The AT25DF041B-SSHN-B implements a dedicated SPI interface with dual-input/dual-output capability, enabling 2-bit-per-clock read transfers using SI and SO as complementary data outputs. Its erase architecture supports five distinct granularities-page (256 B), uniform 4-kB/32-kB/64-kB blocks, and full chip-allowing precise allocation of code and data segments without memory waste.
Internal control logic handles automatic program/erase status reporting, deep power-down (5 µA) and ultra-deep power-down (200 nA) modes, and hardware/software sector protection via WP pin and Status Register bits. The 128-byte OTP register contains factory-programmed unique ID and user-programmable fields for secure device serialization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (512 KByte) - sufficient for boot code, firmware images, and configuration data in compact MCU-based systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 104 MHz - supports high-speed read throughput up to 208 MB/s in Dual-I/O mode. |
| Erase Granularity | 256-byte page, 4/32/64-kByte uniform blocks - minimizes wasted space when updating partial firmware or logging data. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles at –40 °C to +85 °C - suitable for field-upgradable embedded applications with frequent OTA updates. |
| Data Retention | 20 years - ensures long-term reliability for industrial and automotive control modules. |
| Power Consumption | 200 nA ultra-deep power-down current - critical for battery-powered IoT edge nodes requiring multi-year shelf life. |
Pinout & Package
AT25DF041B-SSHN-B is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) body with standard pinout compatible with JEDEC MS-012. All pins are electrically defined per Renesas DS-AT25DF041B-040 Rev. H.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; rising edge ends operations, falling edge initiates command sequence. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; data latched on rising edge (SI), output shifted on falling edge (SO/SI in Dual-I/O). |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Dual-I/O Data 0 | Command/address/data input; becomes output during Dual-Output Read to deliver LSB-aligned data stream. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Dual-I/O Data 1 | Standard output for read data; remains active output in Dual-I/O mode, paired with SI for 2-bit parallel reads. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock control; low assertion enables sector-level protection independent of software commands. |
| HOLD | Communication Suspend | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without deselecting device or resetting internal state; requires CS asserted and SCK low. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V supply powers all functions - no auxiliary voltage required for programming or erasing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for digital I/O and core memory array; must be low-impedance connection for timing integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-I/O Read Mode | Enables 2-bit-per-clock data transfer using SI and SO simultaneously, doubling read bandwidth versus standard SPI without increasing clock rate. |
| Flexible Erase Architecture | Supports 256-byte page erase for fine-grained data logging and 4/32/64-kByte uniform blocks for efficient firmware partitioning. |
| 128-Byte OTP Security Register | Contains 64-byte factory-unique ID and 64-byte user-programmable space for ESN, cryptographic keys, or calibration data - one-time writable, non-volatile. |
| Ultra-Deep Power-Down | Reduces current draw to 200 nA typical, extending battery life in always-on sensor nodes and remote monitoring devices. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin provides physical lock override for protected sectors, preventing accidental writes even during firmware corruption or reset glitches. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winbond W25Q40EW | 4 Mbit density, 1.7–3.6 V supply, 133 MHz max clock, Quad-I/O support (vs. Dual-I/O only on AT25DF041B-SSHN-B) | Higher throughput in QPI mode; lacks OTP security register and ultra-deep power-down (2 µA vs. 200 nA) | Select when maximum read bandwidth is prioritized over ultra-low-power sleep states or secure device ID storage. |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 Mbit density, 1.7–3.6 V supply, 133 MHz max clock, supports both Dual- and Quad-I/O, includes SFDP register | Broader command set and JEDEC-standardized configuration; no factory-programmed unique ID in OTP | Choose for designs requiring standardized configuration discovery or migration path to higher-density MT25QL family devices. |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MT25QL04A, the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B offers superior ultra-low-power operation (200 nA) and integrated factory-unique OTP ID, making it optimal for battery-constrained, security-aware embedded systems where Dual-I/O bandwidth suffices.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range supported by the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B?
The AT25DF041B-SSHN-B is rated for full industrial temperature operation from –40 °C to +85 °C. It also supports extended operation up to +125 °C with derated endurance (20,000 P/E cycles). This dual-range specification allows use in demanding environments such as automotive under-hood modules and industrial motor drives without thermal derating penalties at standard industrial temperatures.
Does the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B support Quad-I/O or only Dual-I/O?
The AT25DF041B-SSHN-B supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Modes 0 and 3 and Dual-I/O Read operation - using SI and SO as simultaneous data outputs. It does not support Quad-I/O (four data lines). For Quad-I/O capability, designers should consider alternatives like Winbond W25Q40EW or Micron MT25QL04A, which offer higher bandwidth but lack the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B's ultra-deep power-down and factory-programmed OTP ID.
How is the 128-byte OTP security register structured in the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B?
The AT25DF041B-SSHN-B's 128-byte OTP security register is divided into two 64-byte sections: the first 64 bytes are factory-programmed with a unique device identifier (UDI), and the second 64 bytes are user-programmable once. Programming is irreversible and requires specific unlock sequences. This structure enables secure device serialization, ESN storage, and locked key provisioning without external secure elements - a feature not replicated in most competing 4-Mbit SPI Flash devices.
What erase options are available on the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B and how do they impact firmware update design?
The AT25DF041B-SSHN-B supports five erase types: 256-byte page, 4-kByte block, 32-kByte block, 64-kByte block, and full chip. This hierarchy allows firmware updates to target only modified code segments (e.g., patching a driver module in a 4-kByte block), avoiding full-image rewrites. Combined with byte/page programming, this minimizes update time and wear - critical for field-deployed devices where endurance and OTA efficiency directly affect service lifetime.
Can the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B operate from a 1.8 V supply and still achieve its maximum 104 MHz clock speed?
Yes - the AT25DF041B-SSHN-B guarantees 104 MHz maximum operating frequency across its full 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply range, including at 1.8 V. This is confirmed in Table 19 (AC Characteristics) of the official Renesas datasheet DS-AT25DF041B-040 Rev. H. No voltage boosting or special timing adjustments are required, simplifying integration with 1.8 V microcontrollers and reducing BOM count.
