Product details
Overview
AT45DB161E-CCUF-T from Renesas Electronics is a 16-Mbit serial DataFlash memory with 528-byte pages, dual 528-byte SRAM buffers, and SPI interface supporting modes 0/3 up to 85 MHz. It operates from a single 2.3–3.6 V supply, features RapidS™ high-speed read, program/erase suspend/resume, and hardware/software sector protection - used in embedded firmware storage and real-time data logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T datasheet, AT45DB161E-CCUF-T pinout, AT45DB161E-CCUF-T application, or AT45DB161E-CCUF-T equivalent, key selection criteria include page size configurability (512/528 bytes), ultra-deep power-down current (400 nA), clock-to-output time (6 ns), buffer interleaving capability, and sector lockdown for secure firmware partitioning.
Technical Context
The AT45DB161E-CCUF-T implements a sequential-access Flash architecture with two independent SRAM buffers enabling concurrent read/write operations: one buffer accepts incoming data while the other transfers to main memory. Its SPI interface supports legacy and RapidS™ command sets, including continuous array reads at up to 85 MHz (0Bh/1Bh opcodes) and low-power reads at 15 MHz (01h opcode).
Memory organization comprises 4,096 pages of 528 bytes (default) or 512 bytes (factory-configurable), totaling 16 Mbits (17,301,504 bits) plus 512 kbits extra capacity. Erase granularity includes page (528 B), block (4 kB), sector (128 kB), and chip-level, all self-timed and compatible with suspend/resume during active operations.

Pinout & Package
AT45DB161E-CCUF-T uses an 8-pad Ultra-thin DFN package (5 mm × 6 mm × 0.6 mm) with exposed pad (non-connected or GND). Pin functions are defined per JEDEC-compliant SPI interface and support full compatibility with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; places SO in high-impedance when deasserted; initiates command decoding |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock synchronizing all SPI transfers; supports modes 0 and 3 (CPOL=0/1, CPHA=0/1) |
| SI | Serial Input | Data input for commands, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising/falling edge per mode |
| SO | Serial Output | Tri-state output for read data and status; high-impedance when CS is high |
| WP | Write Protect | Hardware sector protection control; low = enable protection, high = disable (per sector register) |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low hardware reset; returns device to power-on state without power cycle |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Single 2.3–3.6 V or 2.5–3.6 V supply; powers core, I/O, and charge pump |
| GND | Ground | Reference for VCC and signal levels; connects to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RapidS™ High-Speed Read | Enables 85 MHz continuous array reads (0Bh/1Bh opcodes), reducing firmware load latency by >3× vs. standard SPI Flash |
| Dual SRAM Buffers | Allows uninterrupted streaming: one buffer receives new data while the other writes to Flash - critical for real-time logging |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Pauses active erase/program to service urgent read requests, ensuring deterministic response in time-critical systems |
| 128-byte OTP Security Register | Contains 64-byte factory-unique ID + 64-byte user-programmable space for secure boot keys or calibration data |
| Sector Lockdown | Makes any memory sector permanently read-only after freeze command - prevents accidental or malicious firmware overwrite |
| Ultra-Deep Power-Down | 400 nA quiescent current extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and IoT endpoints |
Applications
| Firmware Storage | Real-Time Data Logging |
|---|---|

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 W25Q16JW-QA | 16 Mbit Quad SPI NOR Flash; no SRAM buffers; 133 MHz QSPI clock; no RapidS™ or suspend/resume | Better raw throughput in QSPI systems; lacks concurrent buffer operation for streaming | Select for higher bandwidth in QSPI-capable hosts where buffer interleaving isn't required |
| Macronix MX25L1633FZBI-10G | 16 Mbit standard SPI NOR Flash; 104 MHz max clock; no dual buffers; no program/erase suspend | Lower cost; suitable for static firmware storage without real-time streaming needs | Select for cost-sensitive designs with infrequent updates and no streaming write requirements |

FAQ
What is the default page size of the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T?
The AT45DB161E-CCUF-T ships with a default page size of 528 bytes. This is confirmed in the datasheet's Description section and Table 22 (Buffer and Page Size Configuration Commands). Factory configuration can set it to 512 bytes, but the -CCUF-T variant uses the standard 528-byte layout unless otherwise specified in ordering codes.
Does the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T support SPI mode 1 or mode 2?
No, the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T supports only SPI modes 0 and 3, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the datasheet. Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1) are fully supported; modes 1 and 2 are not electrically or functionally compatible with this device.
How does the dual-buffer architecture of the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T improve system performance?
The AT45DB161E-CCUF-T's two independent 528-byte SRAM buffers allow simultaneous data reception into one buffer while the other transfers content to Flash memory. This eliminates write stalls during continuous data streams - a key advantage over single-buffer or standard NOR Flash in real-time logging and audio capture applications.
Can the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T be used as EEPROM emulation?
Yes, the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T supports E2PROM emulation via its built-in read-modify-write operation (Section 7.6). This three-step process - read page to buffer, modify bytes, then program back - enables byte-level alterability without external logic, making it suitable for parameter storage and configuration registers.
What is the purpose of the WP pin on the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T?
The WP (Write Protect) pin on the AT45DB161E-CCUF-T provides hardware-level control over sector protection. When pulled low, it enables sector lockdown and protection register writes; when high, it disables hardware write protection - allowing software-controlled protection schemes to operate independently.
