Product details
Overview
AT45DB041E-SSHN-T from Renesas Electronics is a 4-Mbit serial DataFlash memory with two independent 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 supports byte/page programming, flexible erase options (page/block/sector/chip), and hardware/software sector protection - used in embedded firmware storage, voice recording systems, and industrial data loggers requiring nonvolatile sequential access.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T datasheet, AT45DB041E-SSHN-T pinout, AT45DB041E-SSHN-T application, or AT45DB041E-SSHN-T equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI timing compliance (tV ≤ 6 ns), dual-buffer interleaved write capability, factory-configurable 256-byte page mode, OTP security register, and industrial temperature support (–40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T implements a serial Flash architecture with separate main memory array (2,048 × 256/264 bytes) and dual SRAM buffers enabling concurrent read/write operations. Its command set includes dedicated buffer-to-main-memory program, page erase, and auto page rewrite functions - all self-timed without external voltage pumps.
It uses standard SPI signaling with optional RapidS™ mode for accelerated continuous reads, supports JEDEC-standard manufacturer/device ID reads, and integrates hardware-controlled sector lockdown via dedicated WP pin and software-configurable protection registers - delivering deterministic timing and robust data integrity in resource-constrained systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 4,194,304 bits (4 Mbit) organized as 2,048 pages of 256 or 264 bytes - enables compact firmware image storage with configurable page alignment. |
| Supply voltage | 1.65 V to 3.6 V single supply - compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and battery-powered designs. |
| Max clock frequency | 85 MHz (RapidS™ mode) - supports high-throughput streaming applications such as audio buffering or real-time logging. |
| Read latency | 6 ns clock-to-output (tV) - ensures minimal wait states during instruction fetch or rapid data retrieval. |
| Power-down current | 400 nA typical ultra-deep power-down - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or portable devices. |
| Endurance & retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention at –40 °C to +85 °C - suitable for long-life industrial deployments. |

Pinout & Package
AT45DB041E-SSHN-T is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (208-mil wide), with lead finish Pb/Halide-free and RoHS-compliant construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; deassertion places SO in high-impedance state and enters standby mode (not deep power-down). |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock synchronizing all SPI transfers; supports modes 0 and 3 with tV ≤ 6 ns output timing. |
| SI | Serial Input | Data input line for commands, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising edge in mode 0. |
| SO | Serial Output | Data output line for read operations and status registers; tri-stated when CS is high. |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware sector protection control; low = enable protection, high = disable - used with sector lockdown register. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low hardware reset; initiates internal reset sequence and clears status flags without power cycle. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.65–3.6 V supply input; powers core logic, memory array, and I/O buffers. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for VCC and all I/O signals; must be low-impedance for stable SPI timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual SRAM buffers (256/264 bytes each) | Enables simultaneous data reception into one buffer while reprogramming main memory from the other - eliminates write stalls in continuous data streams. |
| RapidS™ high-speed read mode | Supports 85 MHz continuous array reads using opcodes 0Bh/1Bh - doubles throughput vs. legacy E8h command at same clock rate. |
| User-configurable page size | Factory-set to 264 bytes by default; can be reconfigured to 256 bytes for alignment with standard sector boundaries or legacy system compatibility. |
| 128-byte OTP Security Register | Contains 64-byte factory-unique ID + 64-byte user-programmable space - supports secure boot key storage and device authentication. |
| Program/Erase suspend/resume | Allows pausing active erase or program operations to service urgent read requests - critical for real-time interrupt-driven firmware. |
| Individual sector lockdown | Per-sector permanent read-only lock via freeze command - prevents accidental or malicious overwrite of bootloader or calibration data. |

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-T | Predecessor generation with identical pinout but lower max clock (66 MHz), no RapidS™ mode, and no ultra-deep power-down (1 µA vs. 400 nA). | Lacks high-speed streaming capability and extended battery life - suitable only where legacy timing margins apply. | Select only if backward compatibility with older AT45DB041D-based designs is required and 85 MHz performance is unnecessary. |
| W25Q40EWUXIE | 4-Mbit Quad SPI Flash with QPI/DTR support, 104 MHz clock, but no dual SRAM buffers or RapidS™-style continuous-read acceleration. | Higher raw bandwidth but lacks seamless interleaved write capability - requires host-side buffering management. | Choose when quad I/O bandwidth is prioritized over deterministic low-latency sequential writes and hardware-assisted buffering. |
Compared with AT45DB041D-SSHN-T, the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T delivers 29% faster read throughput and 2.5× lower deep power-down current; versus W25Q40EWUXIE, it trades quad interface complexity for simpler SPI control and built-in dual-buffer concurrency - reducing host MCU overhead in streaming applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T in RapidS™ mode?
The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T supports up to 85 MHz in RapidS™ high-frequency read mode using opcodes 0Bh or 1Bh. This is confirmed in the AC Characteristics table (Table 38) of the datasheet, where tV (clock-to-output time) is specified at ≤6 ns across the full industrial temperature range. Standard SPI mode operates up to 66 MHz.
Does the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T support true byte-level writes like EEPROM?
No, the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T does not support direct byte-level writes. However, it implements a self-contained read-modify-write operation that emulates EEPROM functionality: the host reads a page into a buffer, modifies desired bytes, then writes the updated buffer back to main memory - all handled via discrete commands without external logic.
How is page size configured on the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T?
The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T ships with 264-byte pages enabled by default. Page size can be permanently configured to 256 bytes using the Buffer and Page Size Configuration command (0x3D), as detailed in Section 12 and Table 22 of the datasheet. This setting persists through power cycles and affects all subsequent program/erase operations.
What protection mechanisms prevent unauthorized writes to the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T?
The AT45DB041E-SSHN-T provides three-tiered write protection: (1) hardware WP pin assertion disables sector protection changes; (2) software sector protection register allows per-sector locking; and (3) sector lockdown register enables permanent, irreversible read-only status for any sector - verified via dedicated 35h/36h read commands.
Can the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the AT45DB041E-SSHN-T is rated for –40 °C to +85 °C operation, with full DC and AC specifications guaranteed across this range per Tables 35–39. Endurance is specified at 100,000 cycles within this range, and data retention is guaranteed for 20 years under these conditions.
