Product details
Overview
AT25SF041B-SSHD-T from Renesas Electronics is a 4 M-bit SPI serial flash memory IC designed for embedded program storage and execute-in-place (XiP) applications. It supports dual I/O (1-2-2), quad I/O (1-4-4, 0-4-4), and standard SPI modes 0/3, 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-SSHD-T datasheet, AT25SF041B-SSHD-T pinout, AT25SF041B-SSHD-T application, or AT25SF041B-SSHD-T equivalent, key selection considerations include XiP support via continuous read mode, OTP security registers, SFDP compliance, deep power-down (1.2 µA), and flexible memory protection via WP pin and status register configuration.
Technical Context
The AT25SF041B-SSHD-T implements a quad-SPI interface with configurable I/O pin mapping (SI/SO/WP/HOLD as I/O0–I/O3), enabling high-speed data transfer through 1-4-4 and 0-4-4 command formats. Its architecture includes a 4 Mbit flash array organized into 128 × 4 kB blocks, supporting byte/page programming (1–256 bytes) and multi-level erase granularity.
Internal control logic integrates erase/program suspend-resume capability, dual-status registers (SR1/SR2) with Quad Enable (QE) bit, and hardware write protection managed via WP pin state and SRP bits. The device uses JEDEC-standard Manufacturer and Device ID, Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP), and supports unique ID read (4Bh) for system authentication.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT25SF041B-SSHD-T is supplied in an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC (150-mil) package per ordering code suffix "-SSHD-T", with lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must transition low-to-high to complete operations and enter standby |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock for SPI timing; rising edge latches input, falling edge clocks output |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Quad I/O 0 | Command/address/data input; becomes bidirectional I/O0 during dual/quad I/O reads |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Quad I/O 1 | Data output pin; functions as I/O1 in dual/quad I/O modes for parallel bit transfer |
| WP (I/O2) | Write Protect / Quad I/O 2 | Configurable: hardware write protect when QE=0; I/O2 during quad-SPI when QE=1 |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Hold / Quad I/O 3 | Pauses ongoing SPI transaction without resetting clock; becomes I/O3 in quad-SPI mode |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.5–3.6 V supply rail; requires external decoupling capacitor per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance for stable read/write margins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 / 2.7–3.6 V dual voltage, no OTP registers | Lacks 256-byte OTP security registers and SFDP v1.6+ support; supports DTR mode not available on AT25SF041B-SSHD-T | Select for higher clock speed and lower VCC min; avoid if OTP-based secure boot is required |
| Micron MT25QL04A | 4 M-bit density, 133 MHz max clock, 1.7–2.0 V / 2.7–3.6 V dual voltage, supports octal DTR | Includes octal DTR mode and enhanced security (secure OTP, RPU), but requires different status register configuration and lacks HOLD pin functionality | Choose for future-proofing with octal interface or advanced security; verify HOLD pin dependency in existing design |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MT25QL04A, the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T offers native 2.5 V operation, integrated HOLD functionality, and three dedicated OTP registers-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-power XiP implementations where pin compatibility and simple security are prioritized over octal bandwidth or ultra-high clock rates.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range supported by the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T?
The AT25SF041B-SSHD-T supports two selectable voltage ranges: 2.5 V to 3.6 V and 2.7 V to 3.6 V. This dual-voltage capability ensures compatibility with both legacy 2.5 V logic families and modern 2.7–3.3 V microcontroller interfaces. The device automatically adapts to the applied VCC level without external configuration, and all DC/AC specifications-including 108 MHz maximum clock-are guaranteed across the full specified range.
Does the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T support execute-in-place (XiP) operation?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T explicitly supports execute-in-place (XiP) through optimized read performance features: quad I/O (1-4-4) and continuous read (0-4-4) command modes eliminate opcode overhead and deliver sustained high bandwidth. Combined with 108 MHz clock support and low-latency access, the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T enables direct CPU instruction fetch from flash memory-reducing RAM footprint and boot time in MCU-based systems.
How many one-time programmable (OTP) security registers does the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T include?
The AT25SF041B-SSHD-T includes three independent 256-byte one-time programmable (OTP) security registers. These registers are permanently locked after programming and support secure storage of cryptographic keys, device identifiers, or calibration data. Commands 42h (program), 48h (read), and 44h (erase) provide full access control, and their contents persist across power cycles and withstand standard reprogramming attempts.
What package type is used for the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T?
The AT25SF041B-SSHD-T uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (150-mil width), designated by the "-SSHD-T" suffix. It features gull-wing leads, Pb-free/RoHS-compliant finish, and is rated for industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C). This package is pin-compatible with industry-standard 8-lead SOIC footprints and supports automated surface-mount assembly.
Can the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T be used with standard SPI controllers that do not support quad I/O?
Yes, the AT25SF041B-SSHD-T is fully backward-compatible with standard SPI controllers. It supports SPI modes 0 and 3 using only SI and SO pins for single-bit communication (1-1-1), while retaining all core functionality including program, erase, and protection commands. Quad I/O and dual I/O modes are optional enhancements activated via status register configuration-no hardware changes are needed to operate in legacy SPI mode.
