Product details
Overview
AT25FF041A-DWF from Renesas Electronics is a 4-Mbit serial flash memory IC supporting SPI, dual-output (1-1-2), quad-output (1-1-4), and quad I/O XiP (1-4-4, 0-4-4) modes with 133 MHz max clock frequency, 1.65 V–3.6 V supply range, and die-in-wafer form for embedded system boot code and firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT25FF041A-DWF datasheet, AT25FF041A-DWF pinout, AT25FF041A-DWF application, or AT25FF041A-DWF equivalent, key selection criteria include multi-I/O bandwidth scalability, ultra-deep power-down current (7 nA), JEDEC-compliant SFDP support, OTP security register configuration, and -40°C to +105°C extended temperature operation.
Technical Context
The AT25FF041A-DWF implements a flexible SPI-compatible interface with hardware reset (JEDEC standard), volatile/non-volatile status registers, and nested erase/program suspend-resume capability. It supports both standard command addressing and indirect status register access via dedicated opcodes (e.g., 71h, 65h).
Its memory architecture features uniform 4-kB/32-kB/64-kB block erase, full-chip erase, byte/page programming (1–256 bytes), and sequential program mode. Protection schemes include individual block lock, global lock, and user-definable protected regions at memory start or end.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (512 KB) - sufficient for bootloader, firmware image, and configuration data in resource-constrained microcontrollers. |
| Interface Modes | SPI (modes 0/3), dual-output (1-1-2), quad-output (1-1-4), quad I/O XiP (1-4-4, 0-4-4) - enables scalable throughput from 104 MB/s to >260 MB/s in XiP mode. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 133 MHz - supports high-speed read operations without external clock multiplication or PLLs. |
| Power Consumption | 7 nA Ultra-Deep Power-Down current - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT edge nodes. |
| Erase Endurance | 10k cycles at -40°C to +105°C - validated for automotive infotainment and industrial control firmware update cycles. |
| Data Retention | 10 years at -40°C to +105°C - meets long-term reliability requirements for sealed industrial modules. |
| Security Features | 1×128-byte factory UID + 3×128-byte OTP registers - supports secure device identity binding and immutable key provisioning. |
Pinout & Package
AT25FF041A-DWF is supplied as bare die in wafer form (DWF), with no discrete package or leadframe. Pin functionality follows standard 8-pin SOIC/SOP/DNF/WLCSP pinout mapping: VCC, GND, SI, SO, WP, HOLD/RESET, SCK, CS. Die-level I/O pads match this assignment per Renesas' DWF specification DS-AT25FF041A-184 Rev. N Page 7 and Table 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for command/address/data transfers; must be asserted before every SPI transaction. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock synchronizing all SPI transfers; supports up to 133 MHz with defined setup/hold timing. |
| SI | Serial Input | Command, address, and write-data input path; supports standard/dual/quad mode depending on instruction. |
| SO | Serial Output | Read-data output path; operates in single/dual/quad mode per selected transfer protocol (e.g., 03h vs 6Bh vs EBh). |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware-enabled protection for status registers and memory blocks; active-low, internally pulled up. |
| HOLD/RESET | Hold or Hardware Reset | Dual-function pin: hold active transfers when low; triggers JEDEC-standard reset when pulsed per Figure 22. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 1.65 V–3.6 V core I/O supply; supports direct connection to 1.8 V or 3.3 V rails without level-shifting. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all digital and analog circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad I/O XiP Mode (1-4-4) | Enables execute-in-place from flash without copying to RAM, reducing boot latency and SRAM footprint in MCU-based systems. |
| Erase/Program Suspend-Resume | Allows background erase or program to pause for higher-priority reads, improving real-time responsiveness in multitasked firmware. |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) | Provides standardized, software-readable JEDEC SFDP v1.6 table (5Ah command) for automatic driver configuration across platforms. |
| User-Configurable I/O Drive Strength | Permits tuning of SO/SI/WP/HOLD slew rates to match PCB trace impedance and reduce EMI in high-density layouts. |
| OTP Security Register Lock | Once locked (9Bh + 6Fh), OTP registers become permanently read-only, preventing runtime tampering with cryptographic keys or device IDs. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Automotive ADAS Boot Image |

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, 1.7–1.95 V supply only, no XiP mode, 104 MHz max clock, no OTP registers. | Limited to 1.8 V systems; lacks execute-in-place and secure OTP - unsuitable for automotive or secure metering. | Select AT25FF041A-DWF when XiP, wide voltage, or OTP security are required; choose W25Q40EW only for cost-sensitive 1.8 V consumer designs. |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 Mbit, 1.7–2.0 V or 2.7–3.6 V dual-voltage option, supports XiP (1-4-4), 133 MHz, but no factory UID or OTP security registers. | Requires external UID generation; lacks hardware-enforced key immutability - adds software complexity for secure boot. | Prefer AT25FF041A-DWF for designs needing integrated UID + OTP; MT25QL04A fits where voltage flexibility matters more than built-in security. |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MT25QL04A, the AT25FF041A-DWF uniquely combines ultra-wide 1.65–3.6 V operation, factory UID, three OTP registers, and JEDEC SFDP - making it the only option among the three qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive and IEC 62443-3-3 SL2 industrial security use cases.

FAQ
What is the package type of AT25FF041A-DWF?
The AT25FF041A-DWF is supplied as bare die in wafer form (DWF), not packaged in SOIC, DFN, or WLCSP. It is intended for chip-scale integration into custom substrates or module assemblies where wire bonding or flip-chip mounting is used. The die retains the same pinout and electrical behavior as its packaged variants per Renesas DS-AT25FF041A-184 Rev. N Page 7 and Table 1.
Does AT25FF041A-DWF support execute-in-place (XiP) operation?
Yes, the AT25FF041A-DWF supports quad I/O XiP operation using 1-4-4 and 0-4-4 protocols (commands EBh/E7h). This allows microcontrollers to execute code directly from flash without loading into RAM, reducing boot time and SRAM usage. XiP mode is fully supported across the full -40°C to +105°C temperature range and requires no external components.
How many one-time programmable (OTP) registers does AT25FF041A-DWF include?
The AT25FF041A-DWF includes three 128-byte One Time Programmable (OTP) security registers, plus one factory-programmed 128-byte unique identifier. Each OTP register can be individually programmed and permanently locked using the 9Bh program and 6Fh lock commands, ensuring cryptographic keys or device-specific data remain immutable after provisioning.
What is the ultra-deep power-down (UDPD) current of AT25FF041A-DWF?
The AT25FF041A-DWF draws 7 nA typical current in Ultra-Deep Power-Down (UDPD) mode (command 79h), as specified in DS-AT25FF041A-184 Rev. N Section 8.3. This ultra-low quiescent current enables multi-year battery operation in always-on IoT sensors and portable medical devices without compromising memory retention.
Is AT25FF041A-DWF compatible with JEDEC-standard hardware reset?
Yes, the AT25FF041A-DWF implements JEDEC-standard hardware reset functionality on the HOLD/RESET pin (Figure 22, DS-AT25FF041A-184 Rev. N). A 20 µs minimum low pulse on this pin resets internal state machines and status registers without requiring VCC cycling, enabling reliable recovery during brown-out or firmware hang conditions.
