Product details
Overview
AT25XV021A-MAHV-T from Renesas Electronics is a 2-Mbit serial SPI Flash memory IC operating from 1.65 V to 4.4 V, supporting Dual-I/O read at up to 70 MHz with 6 ns clock-to-output delay. It features 256-byte page erase, uniform 4/32/64-kByte block erase, and hardware write protection via WP pin. Used in code shadowing, OTA firmware updates, and secure local data storage for battery-powered IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T datasheet, AT25XV021A-MAHV-T pinout, AT25XV021A-MAHV-T application, or AT25XV021A-MAHV-T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low 200 nA deep power-down current, OTP security register with factory-programmed unique ID, SPI Mode 0/3 compatibility, and industrial temperature range support.
Technical Context
The AT25XV021A-MAHV-T implements a dual-I/O SPI interface enabling two-bit-per-clock read transfers, reducing instruction latency versus standard single-I/O operation. Its memory architecture supports hierarchical erasure-page (256 B), block (4/32/64 kB), and full chip-with dedicated status register polling and active interrupt signaling for host sleep/wake coordination during program/erase cycles.
Hardware-controlled sector locking via the WP pin operates in conjunction with software-based protection commands (Protect Sector, Global Protect) and a 128-byte OTP security register split into 64-byte factory-unique and 64-byte user-programmable fields. Power management includes Deep Power-Down (5 µA) and Ultra-Deep Power-Down (200 nA) modes with chip-select–triggered entry/exit sequences.

Pinout & Package
AT25XV021A-MAHV-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (150-mil) with standard JEDEC footprint and pinout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; initiates command latching on high-to-low transition and terminates operations on low-to-high |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; commands/addresses latched on rising edge, data output on falling edge |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Dual-I/O Data Line 0 | Input for commands/addresses; becomes bidirectional I/O0 during Dual-I/O read for parallel bit transfer |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Dual-I/O Data Line 1 | Output for read data; remains I/O1 during Dual-I/O read to deliver second bit per SCK cycle |
| WP | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock; internally pulled high; enables sector-level protection independent of software state |
| HOLD | Hold Control | Active-low pause signal; suspends SPI communication without deselecting device or resetting internal state |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single supply input (1.65–4.4 V); powers all logic and memory functions - no auxiliary voltage required |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; required for stable operation and ESD robustness |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-I/O Read Mode | Delivers 2 bits per SCK cycle - doubles effective read bandwidth vs. standard SPI, accelerating boot and OTA fetch |

| OTP Security Register | 128-byte field with 64-byte factory-unique ID + 64-byte user space - supports device serialization and key binding |
| Ultra-Low Power Modes | 200 nA Ultra-Deep Power-Down - reduces annual energy draw to <1.8 µAh, critical for 10+ year battery life |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin locks protected sectors regardless of SPI command state - prevents accidental overwrite during brownout |
| Status Interrupt Support | Active-low interrupt pin (via Status Register bit) signals completion of program/erase - eliminates polling overhead |

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 W25Q20EW | 2 Mbit, 1.7–2.0 V supply only; no Ultra-Deep Power-Down mode (lowest standby = 1 µA) | Limited to narrow-voltage systems; unsuitable for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell designs requiring sub-µA sleep | Select AT25XV021A-MAHV-T when wide voltage range and 200 nA power-down are mandatory. |
| Macronix MX25L2033F | 2 Mbit, 2.7–3.6 V supply; supports Quad-I/O but lacks OTP security register and hardware WP pin | Requires external security provisioning; no factory-unique ID for device authentication | Select AT25XV021A-MAHV-T when integrated OTP serialization and hardware write lock are required for secure boot. |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range of the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T?
The AT25XV021A-MAHV-T operates from 1.65 V to 4.4 V, enabling direct connection to single-cell lithium batteries (2.5–4.2 V), coin cells (2.0–3.0 V), and regulated 3.3 V rails without level shifting. This wide range eliminates external regulators in portable designs and maintains functionality during battery discharge sag.
Does the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T support Dual-I/O read mode?
Yes, the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T supports Dual-I/O read using the SI (I/O0) and SO (I/O1) pins to output two bits per SCK falling edge. This mode achieves up to 140 Mbps effective read bandwidth at 70 MHz, significantly accelerating firmware loading and OTA update verification compared to standard SPI.
How does the hardware write protection (WP) pin function on the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T?
The WP pin on the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T provides active-low hardware locking of protected memory sectors. When asserted low, it overrides software protection commands and prevents any write/erase activity to locked regions-even during brownout or reset conditions-ensuring bootloader and security-critical data remain immutable.
What is the purpose and structure of the OTP security register in the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T?
The AT25XV021A-MAHV-T includes a 128-byte OTP security register: 64 bytes factory-programmed with a unique device identifier (for serialization), and 64 bytes user-programmable (for keys or certificates). Once written, OTP fields cannot be erased, providing tamper-resistant identity and cryptographic binding essential for secure boot and anti-counterfeiting.
What power-saving modes does the AT25XV021A-MAHV-T offer, and how are they entered?
The AT25XV021A-MAHV-T offers Deep Power-Down (5 µA) and Ultra-Deep Power-Down (200 nA) modes. Both are entered via specific SPI commands (0xB9 and 0x79, respectively) while CS is low. Exit is triggered by toggling CS (Ultra-Deep) or asserting CS after ≥100 ns (Deep), enabling precise energy budgeting in battery-operated edge nodes.
