Product details
Overview
AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T from Renesas Electronics is a 4-Mbit serial DataFlash memory with dual 256/264-byte SRAM buffers, SPI interface (modes 0 and 3), RapidS™ high-speed operation up to 85 MHz, and ultra-low-power Deep Power-Down (400 nA typical). It supports byte/page programming, flexible erase options (page/block/sector/chip), and hardware/software sector protection - deployed in embedded firmware storage, voice/image buffering, and industrial data logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T datasheet, AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T pinout, AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T application, or AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI timing compliance (tV ≤ 6 ns), buffer-interleaved write capability, OTP security register (128 bytes), industrial temperature support (–40 °C to +125 °C), and green SOIC/UDFN packaging options.
Technical Context
The AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T implements a sequential-access Flash architecture with two independent SRAM buffers enabling concurrent read-to-buffer and program-from-buffer operations. Its RapidS™ mode delivers accelerated continuous array reads using opcodes 0Bh and 1Bh, while legacy and low-power read modes (01h, 03h, E8h) support system-level power management.
Memory organization comprises 2,048 pages of 256 or 264 bytes (factory-configurable), with page size directly impacting command addressing sequences and buffer transfer efficiency. Sector protection is enforced via dedicated registers and hardware WP pin control, supporting permanent lockdown of individual 64-kB sectors using the 128-byte Security Register.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Capacity | 4 Mbits (2,048 × 256/264-byte pages) - enables compact firmware image storage without parallel bus overhead |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65 V – 3.6 V single supply - compatible with battery-powered and low-voltage microcontroller I/O domains |
| Max Clock Frequency | 85 MHz (RapidS™ mode) - reduces serial transaction time for large data transfers in real-time systems |
| Read Latency | tV ≤ 6 ns clock-to-output - ensures deterministic timing for time-critical SPI polling or DMA-triggered reads |
| Power Consumption | 400 nA Ultra-Deep Power-Down current (typical) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes during idle periods |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 P/E cycles (–40 °C to +85 °C); 20-year data retention - suitable for field-upgradable industrial controllers |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - validated for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives |
Pinout & Package
AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T is packaged in an 8-pad Ultra-thin DFN (5 × 6 × 0.6 mm) with exposed thermal pad (NC or GND). Pin functions are fully SPI-compliant and optimized for minimal PCB footprint and noise immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; places SO in high-Z when deasserted - allows multi-device SPI bus sharing |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock synchronizing all SPI transactions; supports up to 85 MHz in RapidS™ mode |
| SI | Serial Input | MOSI line for command/address/data input; latched on SCK rising edge (mode 0) or falling edge (mode 3) |
| SO | Serial Output | MISO line for data output; valid within 6 ns of SCK edge - critical for high-speed timing closure |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware sector lock control; active-low assertion disables program/erase in protected sectors |
| RESET | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset - restores device to known state without power cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.65–3.6 V input; powers core logic, Flash array, and SRAM buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path; bottom thermal pad may be connected to GND for improved thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SRAM Buffers (256/264 bytes each) | Enables true interleaved writes: receive new data into one buffer while reprogramming main memory from the other - eliminates write stalls in streaming applications |
| RapidS™ High-Speed Read Mode | Supports 85 MHz continuous array reads via opcodes 0Bh/1Bh - cuts firmware load time by >3× vs. standard SPI Flash at same clock rate |
| User-Configurable Page Size | Factory-set to 264 bytes (default) or 256 bytes - determines address bit allocation and impacts buffer-to-page transfer efficiency |
| 128-Byte OTP Security Register | Contains 64-byte factory-unique ID + 64-byte user-programmable space - enables secure boot key binding and device authentication |
| Program/Erase Suspend & Resume | Allows interrupting long erase cycles to service urgent read requests - essential for real-time systems with mixed latency requirements |
| Individual Sector Lockdown | Makes any 64-kB sector permanently read-only after freeze command - prevents accidental or malicious firmware corruption |

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 W25Q40EW | 4-Mbit Quad SPI (QSPI) interface; no dual SRAM buffers; lacks RapidS™ and sector lockdown | Better suited for high-speed instruction XIP; not optimal for streaming write buffering or secure sector locking | Select if QSPI bus bandwidth >85 MHz is required and buffer interleaving is unnecessary |
| Macronix MX25L4006EM | 4-Mbit standard SPI; 100 µA standby current (vs. 25 µA); no OTP register or Ultra-Deep Power-Down | Lacks ultra-low-power sleep modes and hardware security features needed for battery-constrained or safety-critical use | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where deep power-down and security are not required |
Compared with W25Q40EW and MX25L4006EM, the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T uniquely combines dual-buffer streaming, 400 nA Ultra-Deep Power-Down, and permanent sector lockdown - making it the only option among the three for secure, low-power, real-time data acquisition systems.

FAQ
What is the default page size configuration for the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T ships with a default page size of 264 bytes, though it can be factory-configured for 256 bytes. This setting affects command addressing and buffer-to-main-memory transfer behavior - confirmed in Table 33 and Section 12 of the DS-AT45DB041E-8783 datasheet. The AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T supports both configurations without hardware change.
Does the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T support true SPI mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=0)?
Yes, the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T explicitly supports SPI modes 0 and 3 per its datasheet Features section. In mode 3, data is sampled on the falling edge of SCK and shifted out on the rising edge - verified in Figure 28 (Waveform 2) and AC Characteristics Table 38. This ensures interoperability with microcontrollers requiring inverted clock polarity.
How does the dual-buffer architecture improve write throughput in the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T's two independent 256/264-byte SRAM buffers allow simultaneous operations: one buffer receives incoming data via SI while the other transfers data to main memory. This eliminates write latency gaps, enabling sustained streaming writes - a capability confirmed in the Description (Page 6) and Figure 2 (Block Diagram).
Can the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T is rated for –40 °C to +125 °C operation and meets industrial reliability standards, but it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, Renesas offers AEC-Q200 variants under different part numbering (e.g., AT45DB041E-MAHN-T). The AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T itself is intended for industrial and commercial use.
What is the purpose of the 128-byte Security Register in the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T?
The 128-byte Security Register in the AT45DB041E-SHNHA-T contains 64 bytes of factory-programmed unique identifier and 64 bytes user-programmable space. It supports secure boot, device authentication, and cryptographic key storage - detailed in Section 9 and Table 19 of the datasheet. This register is one-time programmable and cannot be erased once written.
