Product details
Overview
AT25SF081-SSHD-T from Dialog Semiconductor (formerly Adesto) is an 8-Mbit serial flash memory IC with SPI interface, supporting Dual-I/O and Quad-I/O read modes, 104 MHz max clock frequency, 6 ns clock-to-output delay, and uniform 4/32/64-Kbyte block erase for code+data storage in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF081-SSHD-T datasheet, AT25SF081-SSHD-T pinout, AT25SF081-SSHD-T application, or AT25SF081-SSHD-T equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware write protection via WP pin, deep power-down current (2 µA), security register programmability, and SOIC-8 (150-mil) package suitability for space-constrained industrial PCBs.
Technical Context
The AT25SF081-SSHD-T implements a flexible erase architecture with four granular erase levels-256-byte page, 4-Kbyte block, 32-Kbyte block, and full-chip-enabling efficient co-location of firmware code and runtime data without memory waste. Its dual/quad I/O read modes use SI/SO/WP/HOLD as bidirectional I/O pins under command control, not fixed-direction signals.
It integrates three programmable security register pages for device serialization or ESN storage, each individually lockable via hardware-controlled WP pin or software commands. The status register includes a Quad Enable (QE) bit required to activate Quad-Output and Quad-I/O Read operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (1,048,576 bytes) - supports boot code shadowing and firmware updates in resource-limited MCUs. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V – 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 104 MHz - enables up to 52 MB/s effective throughput in Quad-I/O mode (4 bits/cycle). |
| Read Latency | 6 ns tV (clock-to-output) - minimizes wait states during XIP (execute-in-place) operation. |
| Erase Performance | 70 ms typical 4-Kbyte block erase - balances speed and endurance for frequent data logging. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles / 20 years data retention - meets industrial lifecycle requirements. |
| Power Consumption | 2 µA deep power-down current - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-operated devices. |
Pinout & Package
AT25SF081-SSHD-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (150-mil body width, 1.27 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount format with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; rising edge terminates all operations and places SO/SI/WP/HOLD in high-Z state. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Drives all timing; data latched on rising edge, output shifted on falling edge (SPI Modes 0/3). |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial input / Quad I/O | Command/address/data input; becomes I/O0 output in Dual/Quad Read modes for parallel data transfer. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial output / Quad I/O | Data output in standard/Dual Read; becomes I/O1 output in Quad modes; high-Z when CS deasserted. |
| WP (I/O2) | Write protect / Quad I/O | Hardware lock for protected blocks; becomes I/O2 output in Quad Read; internally pulled-high. |
| HOLD (I/O3) | Communication pause / Quad I/O | Halts ongoing transfers without deselecting device; becomes I/O3 output in Quad Read; internally pulled-high. |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.3–3.6 V core and I/O supply; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual/Quad I/O Read Support | Enables 2× or 4× read bandwidth vs. standard SPI, reducing firmware load time and improving XIP responsiveness. |
| Uniform Block Erase Architecture | 4/32/64-Kbyte erase blocks eliminate wasted space when storing independent code modules or data logs. |
| Three Security Register Pages | Individually lockable nonvolatile pages for secure device ID, calibration data, or encrypted keys-no external EEPROM needed. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin provides immediate, glitch-immune locking of protected memory regions during power-up or brownout. |
| Deep Power-Down Mode | 2 µA standby current extends battery life in always-on sensors or IoT endpoints without sacrificing fast wake-up. |
