Product details
Overview
AT25SF041-MHD-T from Dialog Semiconductor (acquired Adesto) is a 4-Mbit serial Flash memory IC designed for code shadowing and data storage in embedded systems. It operates from 2.5V–3.6V, supports SPI Modes 0/3, delivers 104 MHz max clock frequency, achieves 6 ns clock-to-output delay, and features uniform 4/32/64-Kbyte block erase plus full chip erase.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF041-MHD-T datasheet, AT25SF041-MHD-T pinout, AT25SF041-MHD-T application, or AT25SF041-MHD-T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed dual/quad I/O timing behavior, industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C), and RoHS-compliant 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) package details.
Technical Context
The AT25SF041-MHD-T implements a flexible SPI flash architecture with hardware-controlled write protection via WP pin and three programmable security register pages for ESN or key storage. Its memory array is partitioned into 4-Kbyte sectors and 64-Kbyte blocks, enabling efficient code/data co-location without cross-segment erase waste.
It supports four read modes-standard single-I/O (03h/0Bh), dual-output (3Bh), dual-I/O (BBh), and quad-output (6Bh)-with QE bit control in Status Register Byte 2. All program/erase operations are internally self-timed, and Deep Power-Down mode draws only 2 µA typical current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (512 Kbytes) - sufficient for firmware images and configuration data in resource-constrained microcontrollers. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V–3.6V - compatible with modern low-voltage MCU I/O domains without level-shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 104 MHz - enables high-throughput boot code loading and real-time data logging. |
| Read Latency | 6 ns tV (clock-to-output) - minimizes wait states during instruction fetch from external memory. |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 4-Kbyte / 32-Kbyte / 64-Kbyte blocks + full chip - allows precise field updates without erasing unrelated code segments. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles; 20-year data retention - meets industrial lifecycle requirements for unattended operation. |
| Power Consumption | 2 µA deep power-down; 10 µA standby; 4 mA active read - supports battery-backed and energy-harvesting applications. |
Pinout & Package
AT25SF041-MHD-T uses an 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) package with standard SPI-compatible pinout and dual/quad I/O reconfiguration capability. All pins support 3.6V-tolerant inputs and are specified across full industrial temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; must transition high→low to initiate command, low→high to terminate; deselects device and places SO in high-Z. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Controls data transfer timing; rising edge latches SI/WP/HOLD; falling edge clocks out SO/SI/WP/HOLD in multi-I/O modes. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial input / Quad/Dual I/O | Command/address/data input in standard mode; becomes bidirectional I/O0 in dual/quad read modes for parallel data output. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial output / Quad/Dual I/O | Data output in standard mode; becomes bidirectional I/O1 in dual/quad read modes; always outputs MSB first. |
| WP (I/O2) | Write protect input / Quad I/O | Hardware lock for protected blocks; pulled high internally; becomes I/O2 in quad read mode (6Bh/EBh). |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Communication pause input / Quad I/O | Halts ongoing SPI transfer without deselecting; pulled high internally; becomes I/O3 in quad read mode (6Bh/EBh). |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.5V–3.6V main supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable high-speed operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance and connected directly to VCC decoupling capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual/Quad Output Read | 3Bh/6Bh commands deliver 2× or 4× throughput vs standard SPI read-reducing boot time and improving real-time data streaming. |
| Flexible Erase Architecture | Independent 4-Kbyte, 32-Kbyte, and 64-Kbyte erase blocks eliminate wasted space when updating partial firmware or logging data. |
| Security Register Pages | Three dedicated, individually lockable pages for ESN, cryptographic keys, or calibration data-prevents unauthorized read/write access. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin enables physical block locking independent of software state-critical for fail-safe bootloader protection. |
| Low-Power Deep Power-Down | 2 µA typical current draw extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and IoT endpoints without sacrificing wake-up latency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25SF041B-MHD-T | Direct revision with enhanced reliability and updated qualification; identical pinout, timing, and command set. | Recommended for new designs per Dialog's obsolescence notice; same footprint and firmware compatibility. | Select AT25SF041B-MHD-T for production ramp; AT25SF041-MHD-T remains viable for legacy repair or continuity builds. |
| Winbond W25Q40EWUXIE | 4-Mbit SPI Flash with Quad I/O, 133 MHz max clock, but no hardware WP pin or security register pages. | Lacks hardware write protection and secure storage-requires external logic or firmware mitigation for safety-critical use. | Choose only if higher speed is prioritized over security features and board-level WP control is unnecessary. |
Compared with AT25SF041-MHD-T, the AT25SF041B-MHD-T offers identical functionality with improved process stability, while the W25Q40EWUXIE trades security and hardware protection for marginally higher clock rate-making the original part optimal where robustness and secure data handling are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AT25SF041-MHD-T?
The AT25SF041-MHD-T is rated for the full industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including read latency, erase times, and power consumption, making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor metering equipment. The AT25SF041-MHD-T maintains 6 ns tV and 104 MHz operation throughout this range.
Does AT25SF041-MHD-T support Quad-I/O mode, and what is required to enable it?
Yes, AT25SF041-MHD-T supports Quad-I/O Read (EBh command) but requires the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register Byte 2 to be set first. This is done via the Write Status Register (01h) command after issuing Write Enable (06h). Once enabled, the SI, SO, WP, and HOLD pins function as I/O3–I/O0 during EBh reads. The AT25SF041-MHD-T does not support Quad-I/O program or erase operations-only Quad-I/O read.
How many security register pages does AT25SF041-MHD-T have, and can they be locked independently?
The AT25SF041-MHD-T contains three dedicated security register pages, each 256 bytes in size. Each page can be individually locked using the Write Protect (WP) pin in conjunction with specific status register bits. Once locked, a page cannot be erased or programmed until the hardware protection is disabled-providing hardware-enforced isolation for sensitive data like ESNs or encryption keys stored in AT25SF041-MHD-T.
What is the typical page program time for AT25SF041-MHD-T, and how does it scale with data size?
The AT25SF041-MHD-T has a typical page program time of 0.7 ms for a full 256-byte page. This time is fixed regardless of actual bytes written (1–256 bytes per program command), as the internal algorithm executes a full page write cycle. Smaller writes do not reduce programming duration, so optimal usage involves batching data into aligned 256-byte pages to maximize efficiency in AT25SF041-MHD-T firmware update routines.
Is AT25SF041-MHD-T pin-compatible with AT25SF041B-MHD-T, and what changes are needed for migration?
Yes, AT25SF041-MHD-T is pin-compatible and functionally identical to AT25SF041B-MHD-T, sharing the same 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) package, pinout, command set, timing, and electrical specifications. No PCB or firmware changes are required for migration; the AT25SF041B-MHD-T is a direct replacement with enhanced process reliability. Dialog explicitly recommends AT25SF041B-MHD-T for new designs, confirming backward compatibility of AT25SF041-MHD-T in existing systems.
