Product details
Overview
AT25PE20-SHN-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-SHN-T datasheet, AT25PE20-SHN-T pinout, AT25PE20-SHN-T application, or AT25PE20-SHN-T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-deep power-down current (300nA), flexible erase granularity (page/block/sector/chip), JEDEC-compliant ID read, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and SOIC-8/UDFN-8 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The AT25PE20-SHN-T implements a sequential-access DataFlash-L® architecture with dedicated SRAM buffer and self-timed program/erase cycles. Its SPI interface supports modes 0 and 3, RapidS™ protocols, and three continuous read opcodes (0Bh, 03h, 01h) optimized for high-frequency, standard, and low-power operation respectively.
Memory organization comprises 1,024 pages of 256 bytes (default) or 264 bytes (customer option), plus a matching SRAM buffer. Erase operations are hierarchical-page (256/264 B), block (2KB), sector (32KB), or chip (2 Mbit)-and all programming requires no external high voltage.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT25PE20-SHN-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (0.208" wide) with standard pinout and RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; initiates command sequence on high-to-low transition and terminates on low-to-high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock; latches SI on rising edge, clocks SO on falling edge - defines timing for all SPI transactions |
| SI | Serial Input | Command/address/data input; ignored when CS is deasserted - ensures noise immunity during idle periods |
| SO | Serial Output | Data output; tri-stated when CS is high - prevents bus contention in multi-device SPI configurations |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware-level sector protection override; active-low, internally pulled high - provides fail-safe write blocking independent of software state |
| RESET | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; terminates ongoing operations and returns state machine to idle - critical for recovery after brown-out or watchdog timeout |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.65V–3.6V main supply; powers all logic and memory arrays - eliminates need for auxiliary voltage rails |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for VCC; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable page size | 256-byte default or 264-byte customer option - enables optimal alignment with legacy bootloader sectors or ECC overhead requirements |
| RapidS™ read modes | Three dedicated opcodes (0Bh/03h/01h) for high-speed, standard, and ultra-low-power reads - allows dynamic power/performance trade-off at runtime |
| SRAM data buffer | 256/264-byte on-chip buffer - serves as scratchpad memory and enables atomic byte-alterable E²PROM emulation via read-modify-write |
| Flexible erase hierarchy | Page (256/264 B), block (2KB), sector (32KB), chip (2 Mbit) - reduces wear on frequently updated firmware partitions while preserving static configuration data |
| Security register | 128-byte factory-programmed unique identifier - supports device authentication and secure boot binding without external crypto ICs |

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 SPI Flash, 1.7V–2.0V min supply, no SRAM buffer, no RapidS™, 133MHz max clock | Lacks E²PROM emulation capability and ultra-low-power read modes; higher minimum VCC | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where buffer-based read-modify-write is unnecessary and 1.7V+ supply is guaranteed. |
| Macronix MX25L2006E | 2-Mbit SPI Flash, 2.7V–3.6V supply only, no configurable page size, no security register, 80MHz max clock | Requires 2.7V+ supply; lacks factory-unique ID and deep power-down (1µA vs. 300nA) | Choose when operating exclusively at 3.3V and unique device identity is not required for secure boot or traceability. |
Compared with W25Q20EW and MX25L2006E, the AT25PE20-SHN-T delivers unique value through its 1.65V operation, integrated SRAM buffer for byte-alterable storage, RapidS™ low-power read modes, and factory-programmed security register - making it optimal for battery-powered, safety-critical, or firmware-integrity-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AT25PE20-SHN-T during continuous array read operations?
The AT25PE20-SHN-T supports up to 85MHz for continuous array read using the RapidS™ 0Bh opcode. This is the highest operational speed defined by the fCAR1 specification. Lower-speed alternatives include 03h (standard mode, fCAR2-limited) and 01h (low-power mode, fCAR3-limited), enabling dynamic power/performance scaling. All modes maintain seamless page-boundary wrapping without delay penalties.
Does the AT25PE20-SHN-T require external high voltage for program or erase operations?
No, the AT25PE20-SHN-T does not require external high voltage. All program and erase operations are performed using only the standard 1.65V–3.6V VCC supply. Internal charge pumps generate necessary voltages, and all cycles-including page, block, sector, and chip erase-are fully self-timed. This eliminates the need for auxiliary power circuitry and simplifies system design for battery-operated or space-constrained applications.
How does the SRAM buffer in the AT25PE20-SHN-T enable E²PROM emulation?
The AT25PE20-SHN-T's 256/264-byte SRAM buffer enables E²PROM emulation through a single-command read-modify-write operation. Data is first loaded into the buffer via Buffer Write (84h), then atomically transferred to main memory using Buffer to Main Memory Page Program (83h or 88h). This avoids full-page erases for byte-level updates, extending endurance and reducing latency compared to conventional Flash-based emulation schemes.
What package types are available for the AT25PE20-SHN-T, and what does the "SHN-T" suffix indicate?
The AT25PE20-SHN-T uses an 8-lead SOIC package with 0.208" body width and RoHS-compliant (Pb/Halide-free) finish. The "SHN-T" suffix denotes this specific SOIC variant: S = SOIC, H = 0.208" width, N = lead-free/RoHS, T = tape-and-reel packaging. An alternative UDFN-8 (5×6×0.6mm) variant exists but is designated separately (e.g., AT25PE20-MAHN-T); SHN-T is not pin-compatible with UDFN.
Can the AT25PE20-SHN-T be used in systems requiring data retention beyond 10 years?
Yes, the AT25PE20-SHN-T guarantees 20 years of data retention under industrial temperature conditions (−40°C to +85°C) and rated endurance (100,000 program/erase cycles per page). This exceeds typical 10-year requirements for infrastructure equipment, medical devices, and utility meters. Retention is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A117 and confirmed in the official datasheet DS-25PE20–139D–2/2022.
