Product details
Overview
AT25XE041B-SSHN-T from Renesas Electronics is a 4-Mbit serial SPI Flash memory IC designed for code shadowing and embedded data storage in resource-constrained systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to +85°C, supports Dual-I/O read mode at up to 85 MHz, and features 256-byte page erase, 4/32/64-kByte uniform block erase, and hardware write protection via WP pin.
For engineers reviewing the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T datasheet, AT25XE041B-SSHN-T pinout, AT25XE041B-SSHN-T application, or AT25XE041B-SSHN-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 8-lead SOIC (150-mil), functional pin roles, real-world use scenarios, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The AT25XE041B-SSHN-T implements a standard SPI interface compliant with Modes 0 and 3, enabling interoperability with common microcontroller SPI peripherals. Its Dual-I/O operation doubles read bandwidth by outputting two bits per SCK falling edge using SI (I/O0) and SO (I/O1) simultaneously.
Internally, it uses a flexible erase architecture with four distinct erase granularities-256-byte pages, and uniform 4-kByte, 32-kByte, and 64-kByte blocks-enabling efficient co-location of firmware code and runtime data without cross-contamination during updates. The 128-byte OTP security register includes 64 bytes factory-programmed with a unique identifier for device authentication.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (512 KBytes) - sufficient for boot code, firmware images, and configuration data in compact embedded systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 85 MHz - supports high-speed read throughput up to ~170 MB/s in Dual-I/O mode, reducing boot latency. |
| Erase Granularity | 256-byte page / 4-kByte / 32-kByte / 64-kByte blocks - allows precise firmware patching and data logging without erasing unrelated sectors. |
| Program/Erase Endurance | 100,000 cycles (–40°C to +85°C) - suitable for field-upgradable devices requiring frequent OTA updates. |
| Data Retention | 20 years - ensures long-term reliability for industrial and automotive control applications. |
| Ultra Deep Power-Down Current | 200 nA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and low-power IoT endpoints. |
Pinout & Package
AT25XE041B-SSHN-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, and rated for full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; must transition low-to-high to complete commands and enter standby mode after internal operations. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock controlling data timing; rising edge latches SI input, falling edge clocks SO output. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Dual-I/O Data 0 | Primary command/address/data input; becomes bidirectional I/O0 during Dual-I/O reads for parallel bit streaming. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Dual-I/O Data 1 | Primary data output; remains active as I/O1 during Dual-I/O reads to deliver second bit per SCK cycle. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock control; low assertion enables sector protection independent of software commands. |
| HOLD | Communication Pause | Active-low pause signal; suspends SPI transfer without resetting state or interrupting ongoing erase/program cycles. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V supply powers all functions - no auxiliary voltage required for programming or erase. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance to ensure stable read margins and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-I/O Read Mode | Delivers 2× read bandwidth vs. standard SPI by clocking two bits per SCK falling edge using SI and SO pins. |
| Flexible Erase Architecture | Enables mixed-code-and-data layouts: small 256-byte pages for config variables, large 64-kByte blocks for firmware binaries. |
| 128-byte OTP Security Register | Provides tamper-resistant storage for unique device ID (64 bytes factory-set) and user keys (64 bytes programmable once). |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin physically locks protected sectors even if software is compromised - critical for bootloader integrity. |
| Ultra Deep Power-Down | Reduces current to 200 nA typical, enabling multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free edge sensors. |

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 W25Q40EWBYIG | 4 Mbit density, 1.7–2.0 V min supply, 104 MHz max clock, no Dual-I/O support, 1.6 mm × 1.5 mm DFN package only. | Lacks Dual-I/O read acceleration; better suited for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where speed is secondary. | Select when board layout prioritizes ultra-small footprint and system clock is ≤52 MHz; verify 1.7 V minimum VCC compatibility. |
| Micron MT25QL04ABVCSF12-0SIT | 4 Mbit density, 1.7–2.0 V min supply, 133 MHz max clock, Quad-I/O capable, 8-pin SOIC available but requires different command set. | Supports faster Quad-I/O reads but mandates QSPI controller and modifies driver stack; higher active current (4.5 mA typical). | Choose for maximum read throughput in new QSPI-based designs; avoid if migrating from legacy SPI-only MCU or constrained by power budget. |
Compared with W25Q40EWBYIG and MT25QL04ABVCSF12-0SIT, the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T uniquely balances 85 MHz Dual-I/O performance, 1.65 V operation, SOIC package availability, and integrated hardware write protection - making it optimal for SPI-limited, voltage-flexible, and security-aware embedded upgrades.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T?
The AT25XE041B-SSHN-T operates reliably down to 1.65 V across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This enables direct integration with 1.8 V I/O domains without level-shifting circuitry. At temperatures up to +125°C, the minimum supply increases to 1.7 V - a detail confirmed in the DC Characteristics tables of the official Renesas datasheet DS-AT25XE041B-062.
Does the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T support Quad-I/O or only Dual-I/O operation?
The AT25XE041B-SSHN-T supports SPI Modes 0 and 3 and Dual-I/O read operation using SI (I/O0) and SO (I/O1) pins, but does not support Quad-I/O. Its command set and pinout lack dedicated I/O2/I/O3 signals or associated quad opcodes. Dual-I/O delivers 2× read bandwidth versus standard SPI, as verified in Section 5.1 and Figure 10 of the AT25XE041B datasheet.
How is hardware write protection implemented on the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T?
Hardware write protection on the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T is controlled by the WP (Write Protect) pin, which is active-low and internally pulled high. When WP is driven low, it locks protected sectors regardless of software commands - preventing accidental or malicious modification of boot code or calibration data. This behavior is detailed in Section 9.7 and Table 8 of the Renesas datasheet.
What package type does the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T use, and is it lead-free?
The AT25XE041B-SSHN-T uses an 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) package with gull-wing leads and is RoHS-compliant, halide-free, and Pb-free per JEDEC standards. The "-SSHN-T" suffix explicitly denotes this SOIC variant, as confirmed in Table 21 (Ordering Information) of the DS-AT25XE041B-062 datasheet.
Can the AT25XE041B-SSHN-T be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
The AT25XE041B-SSHN-T is specified for the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and meets RoHS and green packaging requirements, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 2 or Grade 3 certification, Renesas offers the pin-compatible AT25XE041B-AU variant - not the -SSHN-T. Always consult the latest Renesas automotive product matrix before deployment.
