Product details
Overview
AT25SF041B-SHD-B 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-SHD-B datasheet, AT25SF041B-SHD-B pinout, AT25SF041B-SHD-B application, or AT25SF041B-SHD-B equivalent, key selection criteria include XiP support, quad-SPI timing compliance, deep power-down current (1.2 µA), JEDEC-standard SFDP register access, and flexible memory protection via WP pin and status register configuration.
Technical Context
The AT25SF041B-SHD-B implements a SPI-compatible interface with full support for modes 0 and 3, enabling interoperability with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals. Its command set includes dedicated opcodes for dual-output (3Bh), dual-I/O (BBh), quad-output (6Bh), and quad-I/O read (EBh/E7h), plus continuous read mode (0-4-4) to eliminate opcode overhead during burst fetches.
Internally, the device integrates SRAM data buffers, Y/X decoders, and control logic that manages erase suspend/resume, status register write protection, and quad-enable (QE) bit-controlled I/O pin reconfiguration (WP/HOLD as I/O2/I/O3). Memory protection is enforced via non-volatile bits (SRP0/SRP1) and user-definable protected regions at array start or end.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 M-bit (512 KB) organized as 64 × 64 kB blocks; enables compact firmware storage without external expansion. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 108 MHz in quad-I/O mode; delivers up to 54 MB/s effective read bandwidth for real-time XiP execution. |
| Erase Granularity | 4 kB, 32 kB, 64 kB blocks and full chip; allows selective firmware update without disturbing adjacent code/data sections. |
| Program Time | 0.4 ms typical per 1–256 byte page; supports fast field firmware patching and configuration writes. |
| Power Consumption | 1.2 µA deep power-down current; extends battery life in always-on IoT edge nodes during idle periods. |

Pinout & Package
AT25SF041B-SHD-B is packaged in an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC (150-mil) with standard JEDEC footprint. All pins are electrically validated per Renesas DS-AT25SF041B-190 Rev. K.
| 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; supports up to 108 MHz. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Quad I/O 0 | Primary command/address/data input; becomes bidirectional I/O0 in dual/quad modes for parallel bit transfer. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Quad I/O 1 | Standard data output; functions as I/O1 in dual/quad modes to enable 2- or 4-bit simultaneous reads. |
| WP (I/O2) | Write Protect / Quad I/O 2 | Configurable: hardware write-protection when QE=0, or I/O2 in quad mode when QE=1; internally pulled high. |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Hold / Quad I/O 3 | Pauses ongoing SPI transaction without resetting state; repurposed as I/O3 in quad mode; internally pulled high. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5–3.6 V operation; supports single-supply systems with mixed-voltage SoCs or MCUs. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SPI signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Execute-in-Place (XiP) Support | Enabled via 0-4-4 continuous read mode and 108 MHz quad-I/O, eliminating opcode latency for direct CPU instruction fetch. |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) | JEDEC-standard SFDP register (5Ah command) provides programmable, vendor-agnostic configuration metadata for automatic driver initialization. |
| Flexible Memory Protection | User-definable protected region at memory start or end, controlled by SRP0/SRP1 bits and hardware WP pin assertion. |
| OTP Security Registers | Three 256-byte one-time programmable registers for secure key storage, device ID binding, or anti-cloning measures. |
| Erase/Program Suspend & Resume | Allows interrupting long erase (up to 200 ms) or program cycles to service higher-priority host requests, then resume without data loss. |

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 | 4 M-bit density, 133 MHz max clock, 1.65–1.95 V or 2.7–3.6 V dual supply; lacks SFDP register and OTP security registers. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics; not qualified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) with same endurance spec. | Select when maximum speed (133 MHz) and ultra-low voltage operation are critical, and SFDP/OTP are not required. |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 M-bit density, 133 MHz max clock, supports SFDP and quad-I/O; no OTP registers; deep power-down current is 2.5 µA (vs. 1.2 µA). | Designed for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 3; wider qualification scope but higher standby current impacts battery life. | Select for automotive-grade qualification where AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory and 1.3 µA lower deep power-down is non-critical. |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MT25QL04A, the AT25SF041B-SHD-B uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, 1.2 µA deep power-down, JEDEC SFDP, and three OTP registers-making it optimal for secure, long-life, low-power embedded firmware storage where certification and longevity are prioritized over peak clock speed.
