Product details
Overview
AT45DB041E-SHNHT-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 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-T datasheet, AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T pinout, AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T application, or AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T equivalent, key selection criteria include page-size configurability (256 vs. 264 bytes), buffer-to-memory program with built-in erase, sector lockdown security, and industrial temperature support (–40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T implements a sequential-access Flash architecture with two independent SRAM buffers that support concurrent read-while-write operations-enabling seamless buffering of incoming data during main memory reprogramming. Its RapidS™ mode delivers 85 MHz clock rates with 6 ns clock-to-output timing.
It supports flexible erase granularity (page/2 kB block/64 kB sector/chip), hardware/software sector protection, and a 128-byte OTP security register containing 64 bytes of factory-unique ID and 64 bytes user-programmable space. All program/erase cycles are self-timed without external high-voltage requirements.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T is packaged in an 8-pad Ultra-thin DFN (5 × 6 × 0.6 mm) with exposed thermal pad (non-connected). Pin functions are defined per JEDEC-compliant SOIC and DFN footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock synchronizing all SPI transfers; supports up to 85 MHz in RapidS™ mode |
| SI | Serial Input | Data input for commands, addresses, and write data - compatible with standard SPI master output drivers |
| SO | Serial Output | Tri-state data output; driven only when CS is active - prevents bus contention in daisy-chained configurations |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware-enabled sector protection control - locks sectors against accidental overwrite during power transients |
| RESET | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset - restores device to known state after brown-out or initialization failure |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.65–3.6 V core supply - supports direct connection to Li-ion battery or 3.3 V/1.8 V system rails |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core logic - requires low-impedance PCB plane for noise-sensitive audio capture |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SRAM Buffers | Two independent 256/264-byte buffers allow simultaneous reception into one buffer while programming the other to Flash - eliminates data loss during continuous sensor stream ingestion |
| RapidS™ High-Speed Mode | 85 MHz operation with 6 ns tV (clock-to-output) - reduces firmware update time by >3× versus standard SPI Flash at same voltage |
| Configurable Page Size | Factory-set 264-byte or user-selectable 256-byte pages - enables compatibility with legacy DataFlash systems or optimized byte-level E2PROM emulation |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Interruptible page/block/sector erase and program - permits urgent status reads or command execution without waiting for background Flash operations |
| OTP Security Register | 128-byte register with 64-byte factory-unique ID and 64-byte user space - supports secure boot key binding and device identity attestation |
| Sector Lockdown | Permanent read-only locking of any sector via dedicated command - prevents tampering with bootloader or calibration data in deployed field units |

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-T | Predecessor generation; lacks RapidS™ mode (max 66 MHz), no ultra-deep power-down (1 µA), and no OTP security register. | Suitable for cost-sensitive legacy designs where 85 MHz speed and advanced security are not required. | Select only if backward compatibility with older AT45DB041D-based layouts is mandatory and performance/security upgrades are deferred. |
| W25Q40EWUXIE | Quad SPI interface, 40 MHz max clock, no dual SRAM buffers, no RapidS™, no sector lockdown - but supports QPI/DTR for higher throughput in burst reads. | Better suited for high-bandwidth display frame buffer or boot image loading where parallelism outweighs sequential streaming needs. | Choose when system MCU supports Quad SPI and priority is raw read bandwidth over concurrent write buffering or permanent sector protection. |
Compared with AT45DB041D-SHNHT-T, the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T adds 29% faster operation, 99.96% lower deep power-down current, and hardware-enforced sector lockdown - making it superior for battery-constrained, security-critical, real-time streaming applications. Versus W25Q40EWUXIE, it trades Quad SPI bandwidth for deterministic low-latency sequential writes and robust data integrity features.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T in RapidS™ mode?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T achieves up to 85 MHz in RapidS™ mode, with a guaranteed clock-to-output time (tV) of 6 ns maximum. This enables significantly faster firmware reads and buffer transfers compared to standard SPI Flash devices. The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T maintains full functionality across its 1.65 V–3.6 V supply range at this speed, eliminating the need for voltage scaling during high-performance operation.
Does the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T support true byte-level writes like EEPROM?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T does not support direct byte-level writes to Flash, but enables E2PROM emulation via a self-contained three-step read-modify-write operation using its dual SRAM buffers. This allows bit- or byte-alterable storage without external controllers. The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T's buffer architecture makes this process deterministic and interruptible - unlike conventional Flash requiring full-page erases before modification.
How is sector protection implemented on the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T provides both software-configurable sector protection and hardware-controlled lockdown. Individual sectors can be locked via the Sector Protection Register, and once activated, sector lockdown makes protection permanent and irreversible. The WP pin offers additional hardware-level write inhibition. These features are fully supported in the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T and verified across its industrial temperature range.
What package type does the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T use, and is thermal pad connection required?
The AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T uses an 8-pad Ultra-thin DFN package measuring 5 mm × 6 mm × 0.6 mm. Its bottom thermal pad is not internally connected to any voltage potential and may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability - no electrical connection is required or recommended. This design simplifies PCB layout and avoids ground loop risks in sensitive analog sections.
Can the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T operate reliably at 1.65 V supply voltage?
Yes, the AT45DB041E-SHNHT-T is fully specified to operate down to 1.65 V across all functions - including 85 MHz RapidS™ reads, buffer-to-memory programming, and ultra-deep power-down (400 nA). This enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V or single-cell Li-ion systems without level-shifting. All AC and DC parameters in the official datasheet DS-AT45DB041E-8783 Rev. Q are validated at 1.65 V minimum.
