Product details
Overview
AT25SF041B-MHD-T from Renesas Electronics is a 4 M-bit SPI serial flash memory IC designed for embedded boot code storage and execute-in-place (XiP) applications. It supports dual- and quad-I/O operations (1-1-2, 1-1-4, 1-4-4, 0-4-4), operates up to 108 MHz, delivers 13.3 µA standby current, and features 4 kB/32 kB/64 kB block erase with typical times of 60 ms / 120 ms / 200 ms.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF041B-MHD-T datasheet, AT25SF041B-MHD-T pinout, AT25SF041B-MHD-T application, or AT25SF041B-MHD-T equivalent, key selection criteria include XiP-read latency, quad-SPI command compatibility (EBh/E7h), OTP security register support, SFDP compliance, and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) operation.
Technical Context
The AT25SF041B-MHD-T implements a flexible SPI interface supporting modes 0 and 3, with configurable I/O width (single/dual/quad) controlled via Status Register 2's Quad Enable (QE) bit. Its memory array is organized into 128 × 4 kB blocks, enabling granular 4 kB, 32 kB, 64 kB, and full-chip erase operations.
It integrates dedicated control logic for erase/program suspend-resume (75h/7Ah), deep power-down (B9h/ABh), and hardware write protection via WP pin and status register bits (SRP0/SRP1). The device uses internal SRAM data buffers and Y/X-decoder architecture to enable continuous read with wrap (8/16/32/64-byte burst).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 M-bit (512 KB), sufficient for MCU boot firmware and configuration data in space-constrained designs. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 108 MHz - enables high-throughput XiP execution and fast firmware updates over SPI. |
| Erase Time (4 kB block) | 60 ms typical - allows rapid field firmware patching without system downtime. |
| Page Program Time | 0.4 ms typical for 1–256 byte writes - supports efficient runtime parameter logging. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention - meets industrial lifecycle requirements. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V – 3.6 V - compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and PMICs. |
| Deep Power-Down Current | 1.2 µA typical - critical for battery-powered IoT edge nodes during sleep states. |
Pinout & Package
AT25SF041B-MHD-T is packaged in an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC (150-mil) with standard JEDEC footprint and gull-wing leads. This package supports reflow soldering and is compatible with automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must transition high-to-low to initiate commands and low-to-high to terminate operations. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches SI input, falling edge clocks SO output. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Quad I/O 0 | Command/address/data input in standard mode; becomes bidirectional I/O0 in dual/quad I/O modes. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Quad I/O 1 | Data output in standard mode; becomes bidirectional I/O1 in dual/quad I/O modes. |
| WP (I/O2) | Write Protect / Quad I/O 2 | Hardware write-protection when QE=0; functions as I/O2 in quad-SPI mode (QE=1). |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Hold / Quad I/O 3 | Pauses ongoing SPI transfer without resetting state; functions as I/O3 in quad-SPI mode (QE=1). |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5–3.6 V supply; requires local decoupling capacitor per layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance and adjacent to VCC for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-SPI XiP Support (0-4-4) | Enables zero-command-overhead continuous instruction fetch directly from flash, reducing CPU wait states. |
| 3×256-byte OTP Security Registers | Provides immutable storage for cryptographic keys, device IDs, or calibration data resistant to field reprogramming. |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) | Allows host bootloader to auto-detect timing, erase granularity, and command set without hard-coded assumptions. |
| Erase/Program Suspend-Resume | Permits high-priority interrupt service routines to pause background flash operations and resume them later. |
| User-Definable Memory Protection | Configurable lock regions at start/end of array via status register bits, enforced by WP pin or software commands. |

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 W25Q40EW | Same density (4 M-bit), 133 MHz max clock, but lacks 0-4-4 continuous read mode and OTP registers. | Supports basic XiP but not optimized for ultra-low-latency instruction fetch; no hardware key storage. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs XiP latency and security requirements. |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 M-bit, 133 MHz, supports SFDP and quad-I/O, but requires external voltage regulator for 1.8 V operation (AT25SF041B-MHD-T supports 2.5–3.6 V natively). | Better suited for 1.8 V SoC interfaces; less ideal for mixed-voltage industrial boards with 3.3 V rails. | Prefer when interfacing with 1.8 V FPGAs or application processors requiring lower I/O voltage. |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MT25QL04A, the AT25SF041B-MHD-T uniquely combines 0-4-4 XiP mode, integrated OTP security, and single-supply 2.5–3.6 V operation-making it optimal for resource-constrained industrial and medical devices demanding both performance and tamper resistance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AT25SF041B-MHD-T?
The AT25SF041B-MHD-T is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range ensures reliable performance in factory automation controllers, outdoor gateways, and medical diagnostic equipment where ambient temperatures fluctuate significantly. The specification is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 and applies across all supported voltage and frequency conditions.
Does the AT25SF041B-MHD-T support execute-in-place (XiP) functionality?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-MHD-T explicitly supports XiP through its 0-4-4 quad-I/O continuous read mode (command 0x0E), which eliminates opcode transmission overhead and enables seamless instruction fetch. Combined with 108 MHz clock support and internal SRAM buffering, this allows ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V cores to execute directly from flash with minimal latency penalty.
How many one-time programmable (OTP) security registers does the AT25SF041B-MHD-T include?
The AT25SF041B-MHD-T includes three 256-byte OTP security registers, accessible via dedicated commands (42h/44h/48h). These registers are physically fused and cannot be erased or rewritten after programming, making them suitable for storing cryptographic keys, unique device identifiers, or calibration constants that must remain immutable across the product lifecycle.
Can the AT25SF041B-MHD-T operate with a 2.5 V supply?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-MHD-T supports a wide supply range of 2.5 V to 3.6 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC Characteristics sections of the datasheet. At 2.5 V, all specified timing parameters-including 108 MHz maximum clock frequency and 60 ms 4 kB block erase-are fully guaranteed, enabling interoperability with low-voltage microcontrollers and energy-efficient systems.
What package type is used for the AT25SF041B-MHD-T?
The AT25SF041B-MHD-T uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (150-mil width), as indicated by the "MHD" suffix in the part number per Renesas' ordering information table. This JEDEC-standard package features gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and is compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
