Product details
Overview
AT25SF041B-SHB-B from Renesas Electronics is a 4 M-bit SPI serial flash memory IC supporting execute-in-place (XiP), quad I/O (1-4-4, 0-4-4), dual I/O (1-2-2), and standard SPI modes 0/3. It operates at up to 108 MHz, delivers 0.4 ms typical page program time, and features 3×256-byte OTP security registers for firmware integrity in embedded boot applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF041B-SHB-B datasheet, AT25SF041B-SHB-B pinout, AT25SF041B-SHB-B application, or AT25SF041B-SHB-B equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed code storage in resource-constrained microcontroller systems requiring low-power deep power-down (1.2 µA), flexible memory protection, and JEDEC-standard SFDP parameter discovery.
Technical Context
The AT25SF041B-SHB-B implements a unified SPI interface with dynamic pin multiplexing: SI/SO/WP/HOLD serve as I/O0–I/O3 during quad/dual I/O operations, enabling 1-4-4 and 0-4-4 read modes that eliminate opcode overhead and sustain continuous burst reads. Its internal architecture includes SRAM data buffers, Y/X decoders, and control logic supporting suspend/resume of erase/program cycles.
Memory organization comprises 128 × 4-kbyte blocks, with erasable granularities of 4 kB (60 ms typ), 32 kB (120 ms typ), 64 kB (200 ms typ), and full chip (1.5 s typ). Protection is enforced via status register bits (SRP0/SRP1/BPL) and hardware WP pin, while security registers are one-time programmable and isolated from main array access.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT25SF041B-SHB-B is supplied in an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC (150-mil) package per ordering code "SHB", with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant finish.
| 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-ensures deterministic SPI session boundaries. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches input (SI/I/O0), falling edge clocks output (SO/I/O1)-defines strict timing alignment for all SPI modes. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Quad I/O Lane 0 | Primary command/address/data input; becomes bidirectional I/O0 during dual/quad I/O reads-enables 2- or 4-bit parallel data transfer per SCK cycle. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Quad I/O Lane 1 | Standard output for single-I/O reads; functions as I/O1 in dual/quad modes-supports simultaneous 2-/4-bit data streaming without bus turnaround delay. |
| WP (I/O2) | Write Protect / Quad I/O Lane 2 | Hardware write lock for status registers when QE=0; repurposed as I/O2 in quad mode-prevents accidental configuration changes during firmware execution. |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Communication Hold / Quad I/O Lane 3 | Pauses ongoing SPI transfers without resetting state machine; serves as I/O3 in quad mode-enables priority interrupt handling in real-time hosts. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.5–3.6 V operation-compatible with both 3.3 V and 2.5 V system rails, reducing need for level-shifting circuitry. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all digital and analog circuitry-must be low-impedance to maintain signal integrity during high-speed quad I/O bursts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad I/O Read (1-4-4, 0-4-4) | Eliminates opcode transmission overhead, enabling true continuous burst reads ideal for XiP execution from flash. |
| Erase/Program Suspend & Resume | Allows host CPU to service interrupts or process data mid-operation without aborting or reinitializing flash programming. |
| 3×256-byte OTP Security Registers | Stores immutable keys or hashes for secure boot verification, physically isolated from main memory array. |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) | Provides standardized, vendor-agnostic access to memory geometry, timing, and command set via 5Ah command. |
| User-Definable Memory Protection | Enables software-configurable lock of top/bottom sectors (e.g., bootloader region) using status register bits and WP pin. |

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 4 M-bit density and 104 MHz max clock, but lacks 0-4-4 continuous read mode and OTP security registers. | Supports basic XiP but not optimized for ultra-low-latency continuous instruction fetch; no hardware key storage. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for continuous-read optimization and secure boot features. |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 M-bit, 133 MHz max clock, supports SFDP v1.6 and octal DTR mode; requires different status register configuration. | Better peak bandwidth for high-throughput data logging; higher pin count (16-pin SOIC or DFN) increases layout complexity. | Select when migrating to higher-speed platforms or requiring future-proof SFDP extensibility beyond v1.5. |
Compared with Winbond W25Q40EW and Micron MT25QL04A, the AT25SF041B-SHB-B uniquely combines 0-4-4 continuous read for lowest XiP latency, integrated OTP security registers for secure boot, and 150-mil SOIC packaging-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and security-aware embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the AT25SF041B-SHB-B?
The AT25SF041B-SHB-B supports a maximum SPI clock frequency of 108 MHz in quad I/O (1-4-4) and dual I/O (1-2-2) modes. This rating is validated under specified VCC (2.7–3.6 V) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C) conditions per the official Renesas datasheet DS-AT25SF041B-190 Rev. K. Higher frequencies are not guaranteed and may result in read errors or timing violations.
Does the AT25SF041B-SHB-B support execute-in-place (XiP) operation?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-SHB-B explicitly supports execute-in-place (XiP) through three key features: quad-SPI interface (1-4-4, 0-4-4), continuous read mode that eliminates opcode transmission, and high 108 MHz clock rate. These reduce instruction fetch latency and enable direct CPU execution from flash memory without loading into RAM first.
How many one-time programmable (OTP) security registers does the AT25SF041B-SHB-B include?
The AT25SF041B-SHB-B includes three 256-byte one-time programmable (OTP) security registers, accessible via dedicated commands (42h/44h/48h). Once programmed, these registers cannot be erased or rewritten, making them suitable for storing immutable cryptographic keys, device identifiers, or secure boot hashes.
What package type is used for the AT25SF041B-SHB-B variant?
The AT25SF041B-SHB-B uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (150-mil width), as indicated by the "SHB" suffix in the part number. This JEDEC-standard package features gull-wing leads, RoHS compliance, and a 1.27 mm lead pitch-optimized for automated assembly and legacy PCB footprints.
Can the AT25SF041B-SHB-B operate from a 2.5 V supply?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-SHB-B supports dual supply voltage ranges: 2.5 V–3.6 V and 2.7 V–3.6 V. Operation at 2.5 V is fully specified, including AC timing, program/erase characteristics, and deep power-down current (1.2 µA typ), enabling compatibility with low-voltage microcontroller domains.
