Product details
Overview
AT25SF041B-MAHB-T from Renesas Electronics is a 4 M-bit SPI serial flash memory IC supporting dual I/O and quad I/O operations, 108 MHz max clock frequency, 2.5–3.6 V supply, and execute-in-place (XiP) capability for embedded boot and code storage. It features 4 kB/32 kB/64 kB block erase, 256-byte page programming, and OTP security registers.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF041B-MAHB-T datasheet, AT25SF041B-MAHB-T pinout, AT25SF041B-MAHB-T application, or AT25SF041B-MAHB-T equivalent, key selection considerations include quad-SPI timing compliance, deep power-down current (1.2 µA), SFDP register support, WP/HOLD pin dual-function behavior, and 20-year data retention under industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT25SF041B-MAHB-T implements a flexible SPI interface with hardware-selectable modes (0 and 3), supports command-based dual-output (1-1-2), dual-I/O (1-2-2), quad-output (1-1-4), and quad-I/O (1-4-4, 0-4-4) read protocols, and includes dedicated status registers for volatile/non-volatile protection control. Its memory array is organized into 128 × 4 kB blocks with hierarchical erase granularity.
It integrates on-die SRAM data buffer, Y/X-decoding logic, and quad-SPI I/O buffers enabling concurrent address/data transfer on I/O0–I/O3 pins during quad-I/O operations. The device uses JEDEC-standard Manufacturer and Device ID (0x1F 0x85) and supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) for host auto-configuration.

Pinout & Package
AT25SF041B-MAHB-T is packaged in an 8-pin DFN (2 mm × 3 mm × 0.6 mm), RoHS-compliant, green package with wettable flanks. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise orientation from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must transition high-to-low to initiate any command sequence |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches input (SI), falling edge clocks output (SO) |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Quad I/O Lane 0 | Command/address input in standard SPI; becomes bidirectional I/O0 in dual/quad modes |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Quad I/O Lane 1 | Data output in standard SPI; becomes bidirectional I/O1 in dual/quad modes |
| WP (I/O2) | Write Protect / Quad I/O Lane 2 | Hardware write-protection when QE=0; functions as I/O2 when QE=1 (Status Register 2) |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Hold / Quad I/O Lane 3 | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting state; functions as I/O3 when QE=1 |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5–3.6 V core supply; requires local 100 nF decoupling capacitor |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-I/O Fast Read (0-4-4) | Eliminates opcode transmission overhead, enabling continuous burst reads without command reissue |
| Erase/Program Suspend & Resume | Allows host to temporarily halt background flash operations to service higher-priority interrupts |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported SPI clock frequency for AT25SF041B-MAHB-T in quad-I/O mode?
The AT25SF041B-MAHB-T supports up to 108 MHz in all quad-I/O read modes (1-4-4 and 0-4-4). This frequency is validated per AC characteristics in the datasheet (Rev. K, Table 13.4) and enables sustained read throughput exceeding 40 MB/s when using continuous burst commands. Operation above this frequency risks setup/hold violations and is not guaranteed.
Does AT25SF041B-MAHB-T support execute-in-place (XiP) functionality?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-MAHB-T explicitly supports XiP through three hardware-enabling features: quad-SPI interface (1-4-4/0-4-4), continuous read mode eliminating opcode overhead, and 108 MHz maximum clock rate. These allow direct instruction fetch from flash without copying to RAM, reducing boot time and memory footprint in microcontroller-based systems.
How does the WP pin function in AT25SF041B-MAHB-T when Quad Enable (QE) is set?
When the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register 2 is set to 1, the WP pin on the AT25SF041B-MAHB-T functions exclusively as I/O2 in dual/quad-SPI commands and cannot be used for hardware write protection. Write protection must then be managed entirely via status register bits (SRP0/SRP1) and software commands - the physical WP pin loses its protection assertion capability.
What is the purpose of the three 256-byte OTP security registers in AT25SF041B-MAHB-T?
The AT25SF041B-MAHB-T includes three independent 256-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers used to store immutable data such as cryptographic keys, device-specific calibration constants, or firmware signature roots. Once programmed, they cannot be altered or erased except via the dedicated Erase Security Registers (44h) command - which permanently clears all three banks.
Can AT25SF041B-MAHB-T operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-MAHB-T is fully specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. All electrical parameters - including 108 MHz read timing, 1.2 µA deep power-down current, and 100,000 program/erase endurance - are guaranteed across this range, making it suitable for uncontrolled industrial and outdoor embedded deployments.
