Product details
Overview
AT25SF128A-CCUB-T from Renesas Electronics is a 128-Mbit Serial NOR Flash memory IC supporting SPI modes 0/3, dual I/O (1-1-2), and quad I/O (1-4-4, 0-4-4) for high-speed code storage and eXecute-in-Place (XiP) in microcontroller-based systems. It operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, delivers up to 133 MHz read speed at 85 °C, and features 4 kB/32 kB/64 kB block erase with typical times of 70 ms / 150 ms / 250 ms.
For engineers reviewing the AT25SF128A-CCUB-T datasheet, AT25SF128A-CCUB-T pinout, AT25SF128A-CCUB-T application, or AT25SF128A-CCUB-T equivalent, key selection criteria include XiP-optimized continuous read mode, quad-SPI timing compliance, industrial temperature range (-40 °C to 85 °C), 100,000 program/erase cycles, and OTP security register support.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard SPI interface with configurable dual- and quad-I/O operation enabled via non-volatile Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register 2. The AT25SF128A-CCUB-T ships with QE = 0, requiring explicit configuration for quad-mode use - unlike the AT25QF128A variant which ships with QE = 1.
It supports flexible memory protection via user-definable protected areas (start/end of array), WP pin control, and three 256-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers. SFDP register enables host auto-discovery of flash parameters without hard-coded assumptions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 Mbit (16 MB) - sufficient for firmware images, boot loaders, and configuration data in resource-constrained embedded systems. |
| Interface | SPI with modes 0/3, dual I/O (1-1-2), quad I/O (1-4-4, 0-4-4) - enables scalable bandwidth from ~40 MB/s (standard) to ~160 MB/s (quad) depending on clock and command choice. |
| Max Read Speed | 133 MHz at 85 °C - supports low-latency XiP execution with minimal wait states when paired with compatible host controllers. |
| Erase Granularity | 4 kB / 32 kB / 64 kB blocks and full chip - allows fine-grained firmware updates without erasing entire memory space. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles; 20 years data retention at 85 °C - meets long-life requirements for industrial and automotive control units. |
| Power Modes | Standby current 13 µA (typ), deep power-down 2 µA (typ) - enables ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +85 °C (industrial grade) - validated for deployment in factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor IoT gateways. |
Pinout & Package
AT25SF128A-CCUB-T uses an 8-pad DFN package measuring 5 mm × 6 mm × 0.6 mm (JEDEC MO-229, variant WD). Pin functions are electrically identical across supported packages but physically mapped to this compact footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable signal; must fall before any command; internal pull-up not present - requires external 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC for reliable power-up sequencing. |
| SO / I/O1 | Serial output / quad I/O | Output-only in standard SPI; becomes bidirectional I/O1 during dual/quad commands - critical for high-speed read throughput and command feedback. |
| WP / I/O2 | Write protect / quad I/O | Hardware write-protection when QE = 0; reconfigured as I/O2 in quad mode - internal pull-up allows floating if unused, but must be driven for quad operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC and all I/O signals; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into SPI timing paths. |
| VCC | Core & I/O supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V rail powering logic, memory array, and I/O buffers - decoupling with 0.1–1 µF low-ESR capacitor near pins is mandatory for stable high-frequency operation. |
| HOLD / I/O3 | Transfer pause / quad I/O | Halts ongoing SPI transfer without resetting state; becomes I/O3 in quad mode - internal pull-up permits floating use, but active drive required for quad functionality. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all data transfers; rising edge latches inputs, falling edge outputs data - timing margins tighten above 80 MHz, requiring controlled trace impedance. |
| SI / I/O0 | Serial input / quad I/O | Command/address/data input in standard SPI; bidirectional I/O0 in dual/quad modes - shares physical pin with I/O0, enabling full 4-line quad communication when QE is set. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous Read Mode (8/16/32/64-byte wrap) | Eliminates repeated command opcodes during sequential code fetch, reducing bus overhead by >30% vs. standard Fast Read in XiP scenarios. |
| Quad I/O Support (0-4-4, 1-4-4) | Enables true 4-bit-per-cycle data transfer, doubling bandwidth over dual I/O and quadrupling over standard SPI - essential for real-time firmware streaming. |
| Erase/Program Suspend & Resume | Allows background operations (e.g., logging) to interrupt long erase/program cycles, then resume - improves system responsiveness in multitasking environments. |
| 3 × 256-byte OTP Security Registers | Provides tamper-resistant storage for keys, calibration data, or device-unique identifiers - accessible only via dedicated security commands, not standard read/write. |
| Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) | Standardized JEDEC register allowing host to auto-detect geometry, timing, and feature set - eliminates hardcoded flash initialization tables in bootloader code. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winbond W25Q128JVSIM | Same density (128 Mbit), 3.3 V, quad-SPI, 133 MHz max read, but lacks OTP registers and SFDP v1.6 support; uses different status register layout. | Supports basic XiP and OTA updates but offers no hardware-enforced key storage or auto-discoverable parameter tables. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for OTP security or SFDP-driven bootloader flexibility. |
| Micron MT25QL128ABA8E12-0SIT | Identical 128 Mbit density, 3.3 V, quad-SPI, 133 MHz, includes SFDP and 3×256B OTP; differs in hold timing, erase suspend behavior, and default QE state (shipped enabled). | Drop-in compatible for most quad-SPI designs but requires validation of HOLD timing and reset recovery sequence due to tighter AC specs. | Select when existing design targets Micron's ecosystem tools or requires guaranteed QE=1 out-of-box for immediate quad-mode operation. |
Compared with W25Q128JVSIM, AT25SF128A-CCUB-T adds OTP security and SFDP v1.6 for robust bootloader portability; versus MT25QL128ABA8E12-0SIT, it ships with QE=0 - simplifying legacy SPI migration but requiring explicit QE setup for quad performance.

FAQ
What is the default Quad Enable (QE) state for AT25SF128A-CCUB-T at power-up?
The AT25SF128A-CCUB-T ships from the factory with the Quad Enable (QE) bit in Status Register 2 set to 0. This means quad-SPI mode is disabled by default, and the WP and HOLD pins function as write-protect and hold controls respectively. To enable quad I/O, software must first issue Write Enable, then modify Status Register 2 to set QE = 1 - a non-volatile change persisting across power cycles. This differs from the AT25QF128A variant, which ships with QE = 1.
Does AT25SF128A-CCUB-T support execute-in-place (XiP) operation, and what features optimize it?
Yes, AT25SF128A-CCUB-T is explicitly designed for eXecute-in-Place (XiP) operation. Key optimizations include Continuous Read mode (with 8/16/32/64-byte wrap) eliminating repeated command opcodes, quad-SPI interface enabling up to 133 MHz effective read rates, and low-latency fast read commands. These features collectively reduce instruction fetch latency and improve deterministic code execution directly from flash - critical for real-time embedded applications where RAM footprint is constrained.
How many One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers does AT25SF128A-CCUB-T provide, and what is their purpose?
AT25SF128A-CCUB-T provides three 256-byte One-Time Programmable (OTP) security registers. These registers are write-once, read-many memory blocks intended for storing immutable data such as cryptographic keys, device-unique identifiers, calibration constants, or regulatory compliance information. Access requires dedicated security commands (Read/Erase/Program Security Registers), and they reside outside the main memory array - ensuring separation from firmware updates and preventing accidental overwrite during normal operation.
What package type is used by AT25SF128A-CCUB-T, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
AT25SF128A-CCUB-T uses an 8-pad DFN (Dual Flat No-lead) package with dimensions of 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm × 0.6 mm (JEDEC MO-229 WD variant). This compact, surface-mount package features exposed pad thermal enhancement and is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and lead-free. It is pin-compatible with other 8-pin DFN variants in the AT25SF/QF128A family but distinct from the 8-lead SOIC (208-mil) and 16-lead SOIC (300-mil) options.
Can AT25SF128A-CCUB-T operate across the full industrial temperature range, and what are its rated specifications at 105 °C?
AT25SF128A-CCUB-T is rated for the industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. While it may function at 105 °C, its guaranteed specifications - including maximum read speed (120 MHz), endurance (100,000 cycles), and data retention (10 years) - are only validated up to 85 °C. For extended temperature operation, Renesas offers the AT25QF128A variant, which is explicitly qualified for -40 °C to +105 °C and maintains full 133 MHz read performance at that upper limit.
