Product details
Overview
AT25PE40-MHN-Y from Microchip Technology is a 4-Mbit serial Flash memory with DataFlash-L architecture, supporting SPI modes 0 and 3, RapidS™ high-speed interface up to 85 MHz, and dual 256/264-byte SRAM buffers for concurrent read/write operations. It operates from 1.65V–3.6V, features page/block/sector/chip erase, and targets embedded firmware storage, voice/image buffering, and code execution in space-constrained industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT25PE40-MHN-Y datasheet, AT25PE40-MHN-Y pinout, AT25PE40-MHN-Y application, or AT25PE40-MHN-Y equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6ns clock-to-output time, 300nA ultra-deep power-down current, user-configurable 256/264-byte page size, dual-buffer interleaving capability, and JEDEC-standard manufacturer/device ID support.
Technical Context
The AT25PE40-MHN-Y implements a sequential-access Flash architecture with two independent 256/264-byte SRAM buffers enabling simultaneous data reception and main array reprogramming. Its RapidS™ interface supports four continuous read opcodes (01h, 03h, 0Bh, 1Bh) with distinct frequency limits (fCAR3 to fCAR4) and dummy byte requirements.
Memory organization comprises 2,048 pages of 256 or 264 bytes each, mapped across 8 sectors (7 × 64KB + 1 × 2KB), with flexible erase granularity down to page level (256/264 bytes). All program/erase cycles are self-timed, and hardware write protection via the WP pin operates independently of software sector protection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25SF041-MAHD-Y | 4-Mbit, same package, but SPI-only (no RapidS™), 104 MHz max clock, no dual buffers, 1.7–2.0V/2.7–3.6V dual supply | Lacks concurrent buffer operation and continuous read wraparound; suited for simpler code storage where throughput <60 MB/s suffices | Select when RapidS™ or dual-buffer streaming is unnecessary and wider voltage tolerance is required |
| W25Q40EWUXIE | 4-Mbit, DFN-8, 133 MHz Quad SPI, 4KB sector erase only (no page/block erase), no SRAM buffers, 1.7–2.0V/2.7–3.6V | Requires Quad I/O for full speed; lacks page-level erase flexibility and hardware WP pin independence from software protection | Choose for QSPI host compatibility and higher peak bandwidth, but avoid where fine-grained erase control or hardware write lock is mandatory |
Compared with AT25PE40-MHN-Y, AT25SF041-MAHD-Y trades dual-buffer concurrency and RapidS™ for broader voltage range and higher clock ceiling, while W25Q40EWUXIE sacrifices page/block erase and hardware WP independence for quad-interface bandwidth - making AT25PE40-MHN-Y uniquely suited for streaming-aware, power-sensitive, and security-critical embedded firmware storage.

FAQ
What is the default page size configuration for AT25PE40-MHN-Y?
The AT25PE40-MHN-Y ships with 256-byte pages enabled by default. The 264-byte page option is customer-selectable via factory configuration - not user-programmable in-circuit. This setting determines address bit allocation (19-bit vs. 20-bit) and dummy byte count in read/program commands, and must be known during firmware driver development.
Does AT25PE40-MHN-Y support true concurrent read and write operations?
Yes. AT25PE40-MHN-Y uses two independent 256/264-byte SRAM buffers to enable true concurrency: one buffer can accept incoming data via Buffer Write while the other feeds data to the main memory array via Buffer-to-Main-Memory Page Program. This eliminates write stalls during continuous streaming, unlike conventional serial Flash.
What is the function of the RESET pin on AT25PE40-MHN-Y?
The RESET pin on AT25PE40-MHN-Y is an active-low hardware reset that immediately terminates any ongoing operation (read, program, or erase) and returns the internal state machine to idle. It is not required for power-on initialization due to an internal POR circuit, but must be externally held high if unused to prevent spurious resets.
How does the WP pin interact with software-based sector protection on AT25PE40-MHN-Y?
The WP pin on AT25PE40-MHN-Y provides hardware-level write protection that overrides all software protection mechanisms. When WP is asserted (low), protected sectors remain locked against program/erase regardless of Sector Protection Register contents or Enable Sector Protection command status - ensuring fail-safe lockdown in critical systems.
Is AT25PE40-MHN-Y compatible with standard SPI controllers?
Yes. AT25PE40-MHN-Y is fully SPI-compatible and supports standard modes 0 and 3. It requires only CS, SCK, SI, and SO signals - no additional control lines. All commands use standard 8-bit opcodes, and timing complies with SPI specifications, enabling drop-in integration with most MCU SPI peripherals without custom hardware.
