Product details
Overview
AT25SF081-MAHF-T from Dialog Semiconductor is an 8-Mbit SPI serial flash memory IC with dual- and quad-I/O support, operating from 2.3V to 3.6V, delivering up to 104 MHz read frequency and 6 ns clock-to-output delay. It features uniform 4/32/64-Kbyte block erase, hardware write protection via WP pin, and three programmable security register pages for device serialization or ESN storage - deployed in embedded boot code storage and firmware update subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF081-MAHF-T datasheet, AT25SF081-MAHF-T pinout, AT25SF081-MAHF-T application, or AT25SF081-MAHF-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 package mapping, SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, deep power-down (2 µA), and real-world use context for code shadowing and secure data logging in industrial microcontroller systems.
Technical Context
The AT25SF081-MAHF-T implements a flexible erase architecture with four granular erase levels (256-byte page, 4-Kbyte, 32-Kbyte, 64-Kbyte, and full chip), enabling efficient co-location of code modules and data segments without memory waste. Its command set includes Dual-Output Read (3Bh), Dual-I/O Read (BBh), Quad-Output Read (6Bh), and Quad-I/O Read (EBh), all requiring QE bit enablement in Status Register Byte 2 for quad modes.
It supports standard SPI bus signaling with CS, SCK, SI (I/O0), SO (I/O1), WP (I/O2), and HOLD (I/O3) pins - all configurable as bidirectional I/O in multi-I/O modes. Internal address counter enables continuous read wraparound from 0xFFFFFh to 0x000000h without delay, and the security register pages are individually lockable for tamper-resistant key or ID storage.
Key Specifications

| WP (I/O2) | Write protect input / Quad I/O2 | Hardware lock for protected blocks; repurposed as data output in Quad Read |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Communication pause input / Quad I/O3 | Halts SPI transfer without deselecting device; becomes data output in Quad Read |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.3V–3.6V primary supply; powers internal logic, charge pump, and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground reference | System return path; must be low-impedance to ensure signal integrity and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual/Quad I/O Read Support | Enables 2× or 4× read bandwidth over standard SPI - reduces instruction overhead and improves MCU fetch efficiency |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the AT25SF081-MAHF-T?
The AT25SF081-MAHF-T operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, making it compatible with both 2.5V and 3.3V system rails without external level shifters. This single-supply range simplifies power design in mixed-voltage embedded systems and ensures reliable operation across industrial temperature extremes (-40°C to +85°C).
Does the AT25SF081-MAHF-T support Quad-I/O read commands?
Yes, the AT25SF081-MAHF-T supports Quad-I/O Read (EBh opcode) at up to 104 MHz, provided the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register Byte 2 is set. In this mode, SI, SO, WP, and HOLD function as I/O3–I/O0 to deliver 4 bits per clock cycle, achieving up to 52 MB/s effective throughput.
How many security register pages does the AT25SF081-MAHF-T include?
The AT25SF081-MAHF-T includes three dedicated 256-byte security register pages that can be individually locked using hardware or software controls. These pages are used for storing electronic serial numbers, cryptographic keys, or calibration data - and remain protected even during full-chip erase operations.
What is the typical deep power-down current for the AT25SF081-MAHF-T?
The AT25SF081-MAHF-T draws 2 µA typical current in deep power-down mode, activated via the B9h command. This ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in always-on edge devices such as wireless sensors and portable diagnostic tools where standby duration exceeds active runtime.
Is the AT25SF081-MAHF-T pin-compatible with the AT25SF081B-MAHF-T?
Yes, the AT25SF081-MAHF-T is pin-compatible and functionally identical to the AT25SF081B-MAHF-T, which is the recommended replacement for new designs. The 'B' revision includes enhanced ESD performance and updated manufacturing qualifications but retains the same SOIC-8 footprint, timing, and command set as the original AT25SF081-MAHF-T.
