Product details
Overview
AT25XV021A-XMHV-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 mode at up to 70 MHz, with 6 ns clock-to-output delay and hardware write protection via WP pin. It enables code shadowing, OTA firmware updates, and local data logging in battery-powered IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T datasheet, AT25XV021A-XMHV-T pinout, AT25XV021A-XMHV-T application, or AT25XV021A-XMHV-T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-deep power-down current (200 nA), flexible erase granularity (256-byte page to 64-kByte block), OTP security register (128 bytes), JEDEC-compliant ID read, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT25XV021A-XMHV-T implements a standard SPI interface compliant with Modes 0 and 3, with dual-output read capability enabling two bits per SCK falling edge. Its internal architecture includes SRAM data buffer, Y/X decoders, and control logic managing autonomous program/erase cycles without external high-voltage supply.
It integrates hardware-based sector protection via WP pin and software-controlled locking, plus an active status interrupt for host sleep/wake coordination during long-duration operations. The device supports sequential programming mode and automatic erase/program failure reporting through status register polling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Mbit (256 kByte) organized as 32 k × 8; sufficient for boot code + configuration + telemetry logs in compact embedded systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65 V – 4.4 V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), LiFePO₄ (2.5–3.65 V), and 3.3 V/1.8 V logic rails without level shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 70 MHz; enables fast read throughput up to 140 MB/s in Dual-I/O mode, reducing firmware load latency. |
| Page Program Time | 2 ms typical (256 bytes); allows rapid field updates of small firmware patches or parameter sets without system stall. |
| Erase Granularity | 256-byte page, 4/32/64-kByte uniform blocks, and full chip erase; optimizes wear leveling and minimizes data relocation overhead. |
| Ultra-Deep Power-Down | 200 nA typical; extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes by >10× versus standard standby (25 µA). |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention; validated for mission-critical firmware storage in industrial deployments. |
Pinout & Package
AT25XV021A-XMHV-T is packaged in an 8-lead TSSOP (8X-TSSOP) measuring 4.4 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.2 mm, RoHS-compliant and halide-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must transition high→low to initiate command, low→high to terminate; deselects device and places SO in high-Z. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches SI input, falling edge clocks SO output; defines timing for all SPI transactions. |
| SI (I/O0) | Serial Input / Dual-I/O Data 0 | Command/address/data input; becomes I/O0 output during Dual-I/O reads, delivering LSB of dual-bit data stream. |
| SO (I/O1) | Serial Output / Dual-I/O Data 1 | Data output in standard SPI; becomes I/O1 output during Dual-I/O reads, delivering MSB of dual-bit data stream. |
| WP | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock; when asserted, prevents status register writes and sector protection changes-critical for secure boot integrity. |
| HOLD | Hold Control | Active-low pause signal; suspends ongoing SPI transfer without resetting internal state, enabling low-latency host interruption. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.65–4.4 V rail powers core logic and flash array; no auxiliary voltage required for programming/erasing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for VCC; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into sensitive read paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-I/O Read Mode | Delivers 2-bit data per SCK falling edge, doubling effective read bandwidth over standard SPI-reducing boot time in resource-constrained MCUs. |
| Flexible Erase Architecture | Supports 256-byte page erase for fine-grained data logging and 64-kByte block erase for full firmware image updates-minimizing flash wear and system downtime. |
| 128-byte OTP Security Register | Factory-programmed 64-byte unique ID + 64-byte user-programmable space enables device serialization, ESN binding, and locked key storage for secure boot chains. |
| Ultra-Deep Power-Down | 200 nA quiescent current allows multi-year operation on coin cells in wireless sensors-enabling maintenance-free deployment in inaccessible locations. |
| Status Interrupt Pin Support | Active-low interrupt signals completion of program/erase operations, allowing host MCU to enter deep sleep instead of polling-cutting system-level power by >30%. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T?
The AT25XV021A-XMHV-T supports a maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz in standard and Dual-I/O read modes. This enables high-speed data access critical for fast boot sequences and real-time firmware updates. The device maintains timing compliance across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and 1.65–4.4 V supply window.
Does the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T require a separate high-voltage supply for programming or erasing?
No, the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T does not require a separate high-voltage supply. All program and erase operations are performed using the same 1.65–4.4 V VCC rail that powers the device. Internal charge pumps generate necessary voltages, simplifying board design and eliminating external HV circuitry.
How is hardware write protection implemented on the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T?
Hardware write protection on the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T is controlled by the active-low WP pin. When WP is driven low, it locks protected sectors and prevents modification of the status register-ensuring firmware integrity during field operation. The pin is internally pulled high, so external pull-up is optional but recommended if unused.
What is the purpose and structure of the OTP security register in the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T?
The AT25XV021A-XMHV-T includes a 128-byte OTP security register: 64 bytes factory-programmed with a unique device identifier, and 64 bytes user-programmable for ESN, cryptographic keys, or calibration data. Once programmed, OTP bits cannot be reset-providing immutable device identity and secure key binding essential for trusted boot.
Can the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T operate reliably in battery-powered applications with intermittent power?
Yes, the AT25XV021A-XMHV-T is optimized for battery-powered use: its 200 nA ultra-deep power-down current extends shelf life and operational runtime significantly, while robust power-on reset behavior and 1.65 V minimum VCC ensure reliable initialization even as batteries discharge. It meets full industrial temperature specs without derating.
