Product details
Overview
AT25PE16-SHF-B from Adesto Technologies is a 16-Mbit serial Flash memory with SPI interface, optimized for sequential data access in embedded systems. It features dual 512/528-byte SRAM buffers, supports RapidS™ high-speed read up to 85 MHz, and delivers 6 ns clock-to-output timing. Designed for firmware storage and real-time streaming applications such as voice logging and image buffering in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT25PE16-SHF-B datasheet, AT25PE16-SHF-B pinout, AT25PE16-SHF-B application, or AT25PE16-SHF-B equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, buffer-optimized programming modes, continuous-read timing specs, and industrial-grade power-down current values (300 nA typical) critical for low-power system design.
Technical Context
The AT25PE16-SHF-B implements a serial Flash architecture with two independent SRAM buffers enabling concurrent data reception and main array reprogramming. Its RapidS™ interface supports SPI modes 0 and 3 with up to 85 MHz SCK frequency and 6 ns tV (clock-to-output).
Memory organization comprises 4,096 pages of 512 bytes (default) or 528 bytes (customer-selectable), with flexible erase granularity: page (512/528 B), block (4 KB), sector (128 KB), or chip (16 Mbit). All program/erase cycles are self-timed and require no external high-voltage supply.

| SO | Serial Output | Drives read data; tri-stated when CS is high |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for sector protection; active-low, internally pulled high |
| RESET | Reset | Active-low hard reset; terminates ongoing operations and returns state machine to idle |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.3–3.6 V single supply; powers all read, program, and erase functions |
| GND | Ground | Reference for VCC and signal levels; must be connected to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SRAM buffers (512/528 B each) | Enables interleaved write operations - receive new data into one buffer while programming the other into Flash |

Use Value: Meets IEC 62056 and ANSI C12.22 compliance via guaranteed retention and JEDEC-standard ID read for version verification. |
Use Scenario: Capturing CAN bus diagnostics and GPS timestamps during vehicle crash events, requiring instant-write capability under power interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability Flash with ultra-deep power-down (300 nA) and rapid page program for last-moment data capture. Use Value: Survives brown-out conditions: retains volatile buffer contents during VCC dip and commits to Flash upon recovery. |
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 W25Q16JW | 16 Mbit, 1.65–3.6 V, Quad SPI only; no dual SRAM buffers or RapidS™ mode | Lacks continuous-read optimization and interleaved buffering - unsuitable for real-time streaming | Select if Quad SPI bandwidth >80 MB/s required and buffering not needed |
| Microchip SST26VF016B | 16 Mbit, 2.7–3.6 V, supports DTR mode; no user-selectable page size or 528-byte buffer option | No E2PROM emulation support; lacks 128-byte factory UID register | Select for legacy SST-compatible designs requiring hardware reset pin and no deep power-down optimization |
Compared with AT25PE16-SHF-B, W25Q16JW offers higher raw throughput but no concurrent buffer operation, while SST26VF016B provides broader voltage tolerance but omits the 300 nA ultra-deep power-down and configurable page size essential for battery-powered streaming.

FAQ
What is the default page size configuration for the AT25PE16-SHF-B?
The AT25PE16-SHF-B ships with a default page size of 512 bytes, supporting standard SPI addressing with 21-bit address space (A20–A0). The 528-byte option is customer-selectable during ordering and requires corresponding firmware adaptation for 22-bit addressing (PA11–PA0 + BA9–BA0). Both configurations retain identical buffer sizes and erase capabilities.
Does the AT25PE16-SHF-B support hardware write protection independent of software commands?
Yes, the AT25PE16-SHF-B includes a dedicated WP (Write Protect) pin that, when asserted low, blocks all program and erase operations on protected sectors regardless of software protection status. This hardware lock operates independently of the Sector Protection Register and remains active even if the device is reset or powered cycled.
How does the dual-buffer architecture of the AT25PE16-SHF-B improve write performance in streaming applications?
The AT25PE16-SHF-B uses two independent 512/528-byte SRAM buffers to decouple data ingestion from Flash programming. While Buffer 1 feeds data to the main memory array, Buffer 2 simultaneously accepts new incoming data - eliminating write stalls and enabling uninterrupted data streams at up to 85 MHz SCK rates.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for continuous read operations on the AT25PE16-SHF-B?
The AT25PE16-SHF-B supports continuous array read at up to 85 MHz using the 1Bh opcode (RapidS™ high-frequency mode). Other read opcodes offer trade-offs: 0Bh supports up to fCAR1 (≤85 MHz), 03h up to fCAR2 (≤33 MHz), and 01h up to fCAR3 (≤15 MHz) - each with distinct dummy byte requirements and power profiles.
Is the AT25PE16-SHF-B qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the AT25PE16-SHF-B is fully specified and tested across the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. Its 20-year data retention, 100,000-cycle endurance, and 300 nA ultra-deep power-down current are guaranteed over this full range, making it suitable for uncontrolled-environment deployments like outdoor smart meters and factory-floor controllers.
