Product details
Overview
AT25EU0161A-SUN-T from Renesas Electronics is a 16 Mbit ultra-low-energy serial NOR Flash memory IC supporting 1.65V–3.6V operation, 85 MHz SPI interface (1-1-1/1-1-2/1-1-4), and 256-byte page erase. It delivers 8 ms typical erase time across all block sizes and 100 nA deep power-down current for battery-powered data logging and firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T datasheet, AT25EU0161A-SUN-T pinout, AT25EU0161A-SUN-T application, or AT25EU0161A-SUN-T equivalent, key selection criteria include energy-per-operation efficiency, quad I/O support with continuous fast read, JEDEC SFDP v1.8 compliance, OTP security registers, and SOIC-8 (208 mil) package compatibility in industrial and portable embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T implements a serial NOR architecture with unified command set compliant with JEDEC JESD216B SFDP v1.8, enabling automatic configuration discovery by host controllers. It supports four SPI modes - standard single I/O, dual output, quad output, and quad I/O - with continuous fast read for deterministic latency in real-time firmware execution.
Its erase architecture is optimized for low-energy event logging: all erase operations (256B page, 4KB, 32KB, 64KB, full chip) complete in 8 ms typical, reducing total energy per update via minimized active time. The 100 nA deep power-down mode eliminates external power gating in coin-cell or energy-harvesting systems.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range supported by the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T?
The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T operates across a single supply range of 1.65V to 3.6V. This wide Vcc enables direct interfacing with diverse battery chemistries-including single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and alkaline-without requiring external voltage regulation. The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T maintains full functionality and timing specifications across this entire range, simplifying power architecture in space- and cost-constrained designs.
Does the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T support quad I/O mode with continuous fast read?
Yes, the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T supports quad I/O (1-1-4) with continuous fast read, achieving up to 42.5 MB/s effective throughput at 85 MHz. This mode uses all four I/O pins bidirectionally for address and data, eliminating instruction overhead between reads. The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T implements this per JEDEC JESD216B SFDP v1.8, ensuring reliable auto-configuration in host boot ROMs.
What is the typical erase time for a 256-byte page on the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T?
The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T achieves a typical 256-byte page erase time of 8 ms-identical to its 4 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, and full-chip erase times. This uniformity eliminates timing uncertainty in real-time logging applications and reduces software complexity. The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T's consistent 8 ms erase is enabled by parallel internal block programming and verified across temperature and voltage corners.
How does the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T reduce flash wear in data logging applications?
The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T reduces flash wear through its 256-byte page erase granularity, allowing small updates to occur without erasing larger 4 KB or 64 KB sectors. This minimizes unnecessary program/erase cycling of unmodified data. The AT25EU0161A-SUN-T also includes internal wear-leveling assist logic that distributes writes across physical pages, extending endurance beyond 100K cycles per sector in typical logging workloads.
Is the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T pin-compatible with standard SOIC-8 serial NOR Flash devices?
Yes, the AT25EU0161A-SUN-T uses the industry-standard 8-pin SOIC-208-mil package with JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and pinout. Its /CS, CLK, DI, DO, /WP, /HOLD, VCC, and GND assignments match common serial NOR Flash devices, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts-provided the host firmware supports its extended command set and SFDP v1.8 configuration.
