Product details
Overview
AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B 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 400 nA deep power-down current. It enables continuous data streaming in embedded voice, firmware storage, and IoT sensor logging applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B datasheet, AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B pinout, AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B application, or AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B equivalent, key selection criteria include page-size configurability (256 vs. 264 bytes), buffer-to-memory interleaved programming, sector lockdown security, and industrial temperature support (–40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B implements a sequential-access Flash architecture with two independent SRAM buffers, enabling simultaneous receive-and-reprogram operation without halting data flow. Its RapidS™ mode supports high-frequency read commands (0Bh/1Bh opcodes) with 6 ns clock-to-output timing.
It features hardware- and software-controlled sector protection, 128-byte OTP security register (64-byte factory UID + 64-byte user-programmable), and multi-level erase granularity - page (256/264 B), block (2 kB), sector (64 kB), and chip (4 Mbit) - all self-timed and requiring no external high-voltage supply.

Pinout & Package
AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B uses an 8-pad Ultra-thin DFN package (5 mm × 6 mm × 0.6 mm) with exposed thermal pad (NC or GND). Pin functions are defined per JEDEC-compliant serial Flash interface.
| 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 transfers; supports modes 0 and 3 polarity/phase configurations |
| SI | Serial Input | Command/address/data input path; latched on SCK rising/falling edge per SPI mode |
| SO | Serial Output | Tri-state output for read data/status; high-impedance when CS is high |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware sector lock control; active-low signal enabling permanent lockdown of 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 core and I/O supply; powers internal charge pump for erase/program operations |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; thermal pad may be connected to GND for improved thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SRAM buffers (256/264 B each) | Enables true pipelined writes: receive new data into one buffer while reprogramming main memory from the other - eliminates write latency gaps in real-time data loggers |
| User-configurable page size | Factory-set to 264 bytes (default) or 256 bytes - aligns with legacy EEPROM emulation or optimized binary code storage |
| Program/Erase Suspend & Resume | Allows interrupting long erase operations to service urgent reads - critical for responsive HMI and safety-critical boot loaders |
| Individual sector lockdown | Makes any 64-kB sector permanently read-only via OTP fuse - secures bootloader partitions against accidental or malicious overwrite |
| RapidS™ high-speed read | Supports 0Bh/1Bh opcodes with 6 ns tV - delivers >80 MB/s effective throughput for burst firmware loading |
Applications

Use Value: Sector lockdown prevents runtime modification of bootloader region - meets ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT45DB041D-SHNHT-B | Predecessor generation; lacks RapidS™ mode, max clock 66 MHz, no ultra-deep power-down (1 µA vs. 400 nA) | Lower-cost replacement where <85 MHz throughput and >1 µA sleep current are acceptable | Select only if legacy design reuse is required and power/performance margins allow downgrade |
| W25Q40EWUXIE | Quad SPI interface, 104 MHz clock, but no dual SRAM buffers or RapidS™; uses standard SPI command set with QPI extension | Better suited for high-bandwidth display frame buffers, not continuous streaming with interleaved writes | Choose when system MCU supports Quad SPI and priority is raw read speed over buffered write concurrency |
Compared with AT45DB041D-SHNHT-B, the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B delivers 29% higher peak bandwidth and 75% lower deep-sleep current; versus W25Q40EWUXIE, it provides deterministic low-latency write pipelining but lacks quad-line read acceleration - making it optimal for streaming-logic-critical, not bandwidth-limited, applications.

FAQ
What is the page size configuration of the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B supports user-configurable page sizes of either 256 bytes or 264 bytes. The default factory setting is 264 bytes per page, but it can be reconfigured via command sequence to 256 bytes to match legacy EEPROM emulation requirements. This flexibility allows optimization for binary code alignment or byte-level alterability in the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B.
Does the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B support true concurrent read and write operations?
Yes - the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B features two independent 256/264-byte SRAM buffers. While one buffer receives incoming data via SPI, the other can simultaneously transfer its contents to main memory. This interleaving enables uninterrupted data streaming, making the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B ideal for real-time logging and audio capture without write stalls.
How does sector lockdown work on the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B?
Sector lockdown on the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B is a one-time, irreversible hardware fuse mechanism. Once activated via the Sector Lockdown command (3Ah), a selected 64-kB sector becomes permanently read-only - even after power cycles or resets. This protects critical firmware like bootloaders from corruption, and is verified per sector using the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B's dedicated lockdown register.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for full functionality of the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B operates across a 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply range. At 1.65 V, all functions - including RapidS™ reads, buffer transfers, and program/erase operations - remain fully specified and guaranteed per datasheet Table 35 and Table 40. This enables direct integration with 1.8 V and 3.3 V MCUs without voltage translation, preserving signal integrity in the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B.
Can the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B be used in automotive applications?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B is rated for the industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C) and complies with RoHS and green packaging standards. While not AEC-Q100 qualified, it is widely deployed in automotive cabin modules, infotainment auxiliary storage, and telematics loggers where extended temperature operation and long-term data retention are required - confirmed by its 20-year data retention and 100,000-cycle endurance specs in the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-B datasheet.
