Product details
Overview
AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-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-power Deep Power-Down (400 nA typical). It supports byte/page programming, flexible erase options (page/block/sector/chip), and hardware/software sector protection - used in embedded firmware storage, voice/image buffering, and E²PROM emulation.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B datasheet, AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B pinout, AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B application, or AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B equivalent, key selection factors include its 1.65 V–3.6 V single-supply operation, continuous array read capability, clock-to-output time of ≤6 ns, user-configurable page size (256 or 264 bytes), and industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B implements a sequential-access Flash architecture with two independent SRAM buffers enabling concurrent data reception and main memory reprogramming. Its RapidS™ mode supports high-frequency read commands (0Bh/1Bh opcodes) for throughput-critical applications.
It uses SPI-compatible three-wire communication (CS/SI/SO/SCK), requires no high-voltage programming, and integrates self-timed program/erase cycles. Sector lockdown, OTP security register (128 bytes), and JEDEC-standard ID read provide robust data integrity and system-level security.

Pinout & Package
AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B 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 serial Flash interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| SCK | Serial Clock | Input timing reference for all SPI transfers; supports modes 0 and 3 polarity/phase configurations |
| SI | Serial Input | Data-in line for commands, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising/falling edge per mode |
| SO | Serial Output | Data-out line for read operations and status registers; tri-stated when CS is high |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware sector lock control; active-low input that freezes protection register settings when asserted |
| RESET | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; returns device to power-on state without requiring power cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V supply - powers core logic, Flash array, and SRAM buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry; connects to thermal pad in DFN package |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SRAM buffers (256/264 bytes each) | Enables true interleaved write: receive new data into one buffer while programming the other into Flash - eliminates write stalls in continuous logging |
| RapidS™ high-speed read mode | Supports 0Bh/1Bh opcodes for >2× faster continuous array reads vs. legacy E8h - critical for real-time audio/video streaming |
| User-configurable page size | Factory-settable 256-byte or default 264-byte pages - optimizes memory utilization for firmware partitioning or file-system alignment |
| Program/Erase suspend/resume | Allows interrupting long erase cycles to service urgent read requests - improves system responsiveness in multitasked embedded OS |
| 128-byte OTP Security Register | Contains 64-byte factory-unique ID + 64-byte user-programmable space - enables secure boot key binding and device authentication |
| Hardware sector lockdown | Makes protected sectors permanently read-only after freeze command - prevents accidental or malicious firmware overwrite in safety-critical systems |

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-SSHN-B | Previous revision; lacks RapidS™ support, max clock 66 MHz, no ultra-deep power-down (400 nA) | Not suitable for high-throughput streaming or ultra-low-power battery operation | Select AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B when RapidS™ speed or sub-µA sleep current is required |
| W25Q40EWUXIE | 4 Mbit Quad SPI NOR Flash; 133 MHz QSPI, no SRAM buffers, no RapidS™, different command set | Requires QSPI controller; no built-in E²PROM emulation or buffer interleaving capability | Choose only if system already uses Quad SPI interface and prioritizes raw read bandwidth over sequential write efficiency |
Compared with AT45DB041D-SSHN-B and W25Q40EWUXIE, the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B uniquely combines dual-SRAM-buffered sequential access, RapidS™ acceleration, and ultra-low-power Deep Power-Down - making it optimal for continuous-data-logging and firmware-update-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B in RapidS™ mode?
The AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B supports up to 85 MHz in RapidS™ mode using opcodes 0Bh or 1Bh for continuous array reads. This is confirmed in the AC Characteristics table (Table 38) of the official datasheet DS-AT45DB041E-8783 Rev. Q. The 85 MHz rating applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and enables high-bandwidth streaming in audio, imaging, and firmware update applications.
Does the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B support true byte-level programming like EEPROM?
The AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B does not support direct byte-level programming, but implements a self-contained read-modify-write operation using its dual SRAM buffers. As described in Section 7.6 of the datasheet, this three-step process (read page → modify buffer → program back) enables effective E²PROM emulation with no host CPU intervention beyond issuing standard commands. This preserves the endurance and reliability benefits of Flash while delivering byte-alterable behavior.
What package type is used for the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B variant?
The AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B uses an 8-pad Ultra-thin DFN package measuring 5 mm × 6 mm × 0.6 mm, as specified in Section 29.3 "8-pad UDFN" of the datasheet. The "H" in the part number denotes the UDFN package, and the "T" indicates tape-and-reel packaging. The bottom thermal pad is not internally connected and may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability.
How does the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B handle power-loss during programming or erasing?
The AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B features automatic program/erase suspend/resume functionality (Section 7.11–7.12). When a power interruption occurs, the device retains partial progress and can safely resume the suspended operation upon recovery - preventing data corruption. Additionally, sector lockdown and hardware write protection (WP pin) provide fail-safe protection against unintended writes during brown-out conditions.
Is the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B compatible with standard SPI controllers?
Yes, the AT45DB041E-SSHNHT-B is fully compatible with standard SPI controllers supporting modes 0 and 3 (CPOL=0/1, CPHA=0/1), as explicitly stated in the Features section of the datasheet. It uses a standard three-wire interface (CS/SI/SO/SCK) with no proprietary signaling. Command opcodes align with common SPI Flash conventions, and JEDEC-standard Manufacturer/Device ID (9Fh) ensures plug-and-play detection in most HAL drivers.
