Product details
Overview
AT25FF041A-SHN-B 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 uniform 4/32/64-kB block erase. It delivers ultra-low power operation (7 nA UDPD current) and is used in firmware storage for microcontroller boot code in space-constrained industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT25FF041A-SHN-B datasheet, AT25FF041A-SHN-B pinout, AT25FF041A-SHN-B application, or AT25FF041A-SHN-B equivalent, key selection criteria include multi-I/O timing compatibility, JEDEC SFDP support for auto-configuration, OTP security register availability, and -40°C to +105°C extended temperature grade suitability for automotive body control modules.
Technical Context
The AT25FF041A-SHN-B implements a flexible SPI-compatible interface with hardware reset (JEDEC standard), volatile/non-volatile status registers, and configurable I/O drive strength. Its memory architecture supports nested program/erase suspend-resume operations and burst wrap addressing for efficient XiP execution.
It features three 128-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers, a factory-programmed 128-byte unique ID, and multiple protection schemes including individual block lock, global lock, and user-definable protected regions at memory start or end - all accessible via dedicated command set (e.g., 36h/39h/7Eh/98h).

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, 1.7–2.0 V min supply, no OTP registers, lacks XiP 0-4-4 mode, 104 MHz max clock | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer IoT; not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 or industrial extended temp | Select if 1.7 V minimum supply suffices and OTP/XiP flexibility is unnecessary |
| Infineon S25FL004K | 4 Mbit, 2.7–3.6 V only, supports 1-1-4 and 1-4-4 but no 0-4-4 XiP, includes 64-byte OTP, 105°C rated | Designed for industrial automation with robust ESD immunity; lacks UDPD mode (min 2 µA DPD only) | Select when higher voltage margin is acceptable and ultra-low-power sleep is secondary to ESD robustness |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AT25FF041A-SHN-B?
The AT25FF041A-SHN-B is rated for operation from -40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. This extended range is confirmed in the datasheet's DC and AC characteristics sections for both -40°C to +85°C and -40°C to +105°C conditions, with corresponding endurance and retention specifications provided for each grade.
Does the AT25FF041A-SHN-B support execute-in-place (XiP) operation?
Yes, the AT25FF041A-SHN-B supports quad I/O XiP operation in both 1-4-4 and 0-4-4 modes, enabling direct code execution from flash without loading into RAM. The datasheet specifies XiP Read commands (EBh, E7h) and confirms timing diagrams for initial and subsequent reads in XiP mode, with full support for burst wrap addressing via the Set Burst Wrap (77h) command.
How many One-Time Programmable (OTP) registers does the AT25FF041A-SHN-B include?
The AT25FF041A-SHN-B includes three 128-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers, documented in Section 5.11 and Tables 28–31 of the datasheet. These registers can store cryptographic keys, calibration data, or device identifiers and are permanently locked after programming using the OTP Security Register Lock command sequence.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the AT25FF041A-SHN-B?
The AT25FF041A-SHN-B operates down to 1.65 V, as specified in the "Voltage Range" feature list and verified in Section 8.2 (DC and AC Operating Range) of the datasheet. This allows interoperability with 1.8 V I/O domains and extends battery runtime in low-voltage portable systems compared to flash devices requiring ≥2.3 V minimum.
Is the AT25FF041A-SHN-B compliant with JEDEC Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP)?
Yes, the AT25FF041A-SHN-B fully supports JEDEC JESD216-compliant SFDP, as stated in the Features section and detailed in Section 7.37 (Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters command 5Ah).
