Product details
Overview
AT25SF041B-SSHB-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 delivers fast read performance via 1-4-4 and 0-4-4 command modes and integrates OTP security registers and SFDP support.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T datasheet, AT25SF041B-SSHB-T pinout, AT25SF041B-SSHB-T application, or AT25SF041B-SSHB-T equivalent, key selection criteria include XiP-read latency, quad-SPI timing compliance, deep power-down current (1.2 µA), block erase granularity (4/32/64 kB), and WP/HOLD pin dual-role configuration in quad mode.
Technical Context
The AT25SF041B-SSHB-T implements a flexible SPI interface compliant with modes 0 and 3, supporting standard (1-1-1), 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. Its internal architecture includes SRAM data buffering, Y/X-decoding, and control logic enabling continuous wrap reads and suspend/resume during program/erase cycles.
Memory protection is implemented via non-volatile status register bits (SRP0/SRP1), user-definable protected regions at memory start/end, and hardware write-protection using the WP pin when QE = 0. The device also features three 256-byte OTP security registers accessible via dedicated commands (42h/44h/48h/4Bh).

Pinout & Package
AT25SF041B-SSHB-T uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC (150-mil) package with standard JEDEC footprint and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is CS, pin 2 is SO/I/O1, pin 3 is WP/I/O2, pin 4 is GND, pin 5 is VCC, pin 6 is HOLD/I/O3, pin 7 is SCK, and pin 8 is SI/I/O0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must transition low-to-high to terminate self-timed operations like erase before entering standby. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches input (SI), falling edge clocks output (SO); defines all timing windows. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Quad I/O Lane 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 Lane 1 | Standard output lane; functions as I/O1 in dual/quad modes to double or quadruple read bandwidth. |
| WP (I/O2) | Write Protect / Quad I/O Lane 2 | Hardware write lock for status registers when QE=0; reconfigured as I/O2 in quad mode-cannot serve both roles simultaneously. |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Communication Hold / Quad I/O Lane 3 | Pauses ongoing SPI transaction without resetting state machine; repurposed as I/O3 when QE=1 for full quad operation. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.5–3.6 V operation; supports single-supply designs interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all digital and analog circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-I/O Fast Read (1-4-4) | Enables 4-bit-per-clock read throughput up to 432 MB/s theoretical bandwidth, reducing host CPU wait states during XiP. |
| Continuous Read Mode (0-4-4) | Eliminates opcode retransmission overhead across sequential address ranges, improving sustained read efficiency by >25% vs standard 1-4-4. |
| Erase/Program Suspend & Resume | Allows background firmware update to pause and service high-priority interrupts, then resume without data loss or timing violation. |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) | Provides standardized, vendor-agnostic access to timing, density, and command-set metadata-simplifies bootloader portability across flash vendors. |
| Three 256-byte OTP Security Registers | Stores immutable keys, calibration data, or device-specific identifiers; programmed once and locked permanently for secure boot chain integrity. |

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, 1.65–3.6 V supply, no OTP registers, SFDP v1.6 compliant. | Lacks 3×256-byte OTP security registers and 0-4-4 continuous read mode; supports only 1-4-4 and legacy commands. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where OTP and advanced XiP features are unnecessary. |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 M-bit density, 133 MHz max clock, 2.7–3.6 V supply, includes 3×256-byte OTP, SFDP v1.6, but no 0-4-4 mode. | Supports 1-4-4 and dual-I/O but omits 0-4-4 continuous read; deeper power-down current is 2 µA vs 1.2 µA. | Select when higher clock speed is critical and 0-4-4 optimization is not required for boot latency targets. |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MT25QL04A, the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T uniquely combines 0-4-4 continuous read, 1.2 µA deep power-down, and factory-programmable OTP registers-making it optimal for ultra-low-power XiP systems requiring secure, deterministic boot behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T?
The AT25SF041B-SSHB-T supports a maximum SPI clock frequency of 108 MHz in quad-I/O (1-4-4) mode. This rating is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) and applies to both standard and continuous read (0-4-4) operations. The device maintains timing compliance without derating when powered within its 2.5–3.6 V supply range.
Does the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T support execute-in-place (XiP) functionality?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T is explicitly designed for execute-in-place operation. Its 108 MHz quad-I/O interface, 0-4-4 continuous read mode, and fast page access times enable direct CPU instruction fetch from flash without intermediate RAM loading. The AT25SF041B-SSHB-T datasheet confirms XiP suitability for boot code and real-time firmware execution in resource-constrained embedded systems.
How many One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers does the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T include?
The AT25SF041B-SSHB-T includes three 256-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers. These registers are factory-locked after programming and support secure storage of cryptographic keys, calibration data, or device-unique identifiers. Commands 42h (program), 44h (erase), 48h (read), and 4Bh (read UID) provide full access to these registers in the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T.
What package type is used for the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T?
The AT25SF041B-SSHB-T uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (150-mil width), compliant with JEDEC MS-012 standards. This surface-mount package features gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant finish, and is optimized for automated PCB assembly in high-volume industrial and automotive applications.
Can the WP and HOLD pins be used simultaneously for write protection and hold functions in quad-I/O mode?
No-the WP and HOLD pins cannot serve their legacy functions (write protection and hold) when quad-I/O mode is enabled. When the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register 2 is set to 1, both pins are reconfigured exclusively as I/O2 and I/O3 for quad-SPI communication. To use WP or HOLD functionality, QE must be cleared to 0, disabling quad mode and reverting those pins to their dedicated control roles in the AT25SF041B-SSHB-T.
