Product details
Overview
AT25PE20-MHN-T from Adesto Technologies is a 2-Mbit serial Flash memory with SPI interface, 1.65V–3.6V single-supply operation, 85MHz max clock speed, 6ns clock-to-output time, and configurable 256/264-byte page size. It integrates one 256/264-byte SRAM buffer for E²PROM emulation and supports RapidS™ high-speed read modes for voice, firmware, and image storage in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT25PE20-MHN-T datasheet, AT25PE20-MHN-T pinout, AT25PE20-MHN-T application, or AT25PE20-MHN-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its ultra-low 300nA deep power-down current, flexible erase granularity (page/2KB/32KB/chip), hardware write protection, and industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT25PE20-MHN-T implements a sequential-access DataFlash-L® architecture with dedicated SRAM buffer and self-timed erase/program operations. Its SPI interface supports modes 0 and 3, and it uses MSB-first 21- or 22-bit addressing depending on selected page size (256 vs. 264 bytes).
It features dual read paths: Continuous Array Read (with wrap-around across pages) and Main Memory Page Read (wrap-around within page), plus Buffer Read/Write and three distinct page program variants - all controlled via 8-bit opcodes and validated status register feedback (RDY/BUSY, EPE).
Key Specifications

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 W25Q20EW | 2-Mbit, 1.7V–1.95V/2.7V–3.6V dual supply; no SRAM buffer; no RapidS™; 133MHz max clock | Lacks E²PROM emulation capability and low-power deep-sleep modes; requires tighter voltage control | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where buffer-based modify operations are unnecessary and higher clock speed offsets missing RapidS™ latency benefits |
| Macronix MX25L2006E | 2-Mbit, 2.7V–3.6V only; no configurable page size; no ultra-deep power-down (1µA typical); no factory UID | Not suitable for 1.8V systems or battery-powered applications requiring <1µA sleep current | Choose when operating exclusively at 3.3V and security/authentication features are not required |
Compared with W25Q20EW and MX25L2006E, the AT25PE20-MHN-T uniquely combines 1.65V operation, integrated SRAM buffer for atomic modify operations, 300nA deep power-down, and factory-programmed UID - making it optimal for energy-constrained, secure, and mixed-voltage embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range supported by the AT25PE20-MHN-T?
The AT25PE20-MHN-T operates from a single 1.65V to 3.6V supply across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This wide range allows direct compatibility with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V microcontroller I/O domains without external level-shifting circuitry, simplifying design and reducing BOM cost in mixed-voltage systems.
Does the AT25PE20-MHN-T support true byte-level writes like EEPROM?
No, the AT25PE20-MHN-T does not perform true byte-level writes. However, it enables EEPROM-like functionality via its integrated 256/264-byte SRAM buffer and single-command read-modify-write operation - allowing atomic updates to individual bytes or fields within a page without external RAM or complex firmware overhead.
What package type is used for the AT25PE20-MHN-T?
The AT25PE20-MHN-T uses an 8-lead SOIC package with 0.208" body width (JEDEC MS-012AC), featuring gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant, halide-free green molding compound. This package is footprint-compatible with industry-standard 8-pin SPI Flash devices and supports automated PCB assembly.
How does the RapidS™ interface improve performance over standard SPI reads?
The RapidS™ interface in the AT25PE20-MHN-T enables continuous array reads at up to 85MHz with zero inter-byte delay and automatic page-wrap - achieving sustained throughput exceeding 10MB/s. Unlike standard SPI, it eliminates command/address retransmission overhead between bytes, significantly accelerating firmware loading and media streaming.
Is the 128-byte Security Register user-writable?
No, the 128-byte Security Register in the AT25PE20-MHN-T is factory-programmed with a unique identifier and is read-only. It cannot be modified by the user or host system, providing a tamper-resistant hardware root-of-trust for secure boot, device authentication, and license binding applications.
