Product details
Overview
CY15B102Q-SXET from Cypress Semiconductor is a 2-Mbit (256 K × 8) serial SPI automotive-grade ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM), functioning as nonvolatile memory with RAM-like read/write behavior, 25 MHz max SPI clock, –40 °C to +125 °C operation, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance-used in engine control units for real-time logging of sensor data without write latency.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B102Q-SXET datasheet, CY15B102Q-SXET pinout, CY15B102Q-SXET application, or CY15B102Q-SXET equivalent, key selection criteria include NoDelay™ write performance, 10¹³ endurance cycles, hardware/software write protection, SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, and SOIC-8 packaging for automotive ECU and ADAS black-box recorders.
Technical Context
The CY15B102Q-SXET implements a synchronous SPI slave interface with dual-mode support (CPOL/CPHA = 0/0 and 1/1), enabling direct drop-in replacement for serial flash and EEPROM. Its internal logic includes an 18-bit address counter, 3-bit opcode decoder, and nonvolatile status register controlling block protection and WPEN.
Write operations complete at bus speed with zero polling delay due to ferroelectric memory cell architecture-data is committed immediately after each byte transfer. The device uses dedicated SI/SO pins (not shared bidirectional) and supports HOLD suspension of ongoing transfers while SCK is low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256 K × 8), directly addressing 262,144 bytes via 18-bit address space |
| SPI Clock Frequency | Up to 25 MHz-enables 3.125 MB/s theoretical throughput with no wait states |
| Endurance | 10¹³ read/write cycles-supports >27,000 writes/sec continuously for 10+ years in data logger applications |
| Data Retention | 121 years at +85 °C-guaranteed nonvolatile storage without refresh or backup power |
| Operating Voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V-compatible with automotive 3.3 V supply rails and brown-out tolerant |
| Temperature Range | –40 °C to +125 °C (Automotive-E)-qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood deployment |
| Active Current | 5 mA at 25 MHz-reduces thermal load in space-constrained ECUs compared to flash |
Pinout & Package
8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, surface-mount, 150 mil body width, RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HOLD | Input control signal | Suspends active SPI transaction when pulled LOW; requires SCK to be LOW during transition-enables CPU task preemption without data corruption |
| SCK | Input clock | Rising-edge sampled input; defines timing for SI latching and SO output-supports variable-frequency clocking from 0 to 25 MHz |
| CS | Active-low chip select | Activates device and enables SCK detection; forces standby mode and tri-states SO when HIGH-allows multi-device SPI bus sharing |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data on rising SCK edge-must be driven to valid logic level to meet IDD specs |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data and status bits on falling SCK edge-tri-stated when CS HIGH or HOLD LOW |
| WP | Hardware write protect | Blocks Status Register writes when LOW and WPEN=1-prevents accidental configuration changes in harsh ECU environments |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground connection required for stable logic thresholds and EMI control |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.0–3.6 V supply input; powers internal logic, F-RAM array, and I/O buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ Write Architecture | Eliminates write polling and timeout handling-enables deterministic sub-microsecond write completion per byte |
| Ferroelectric Memory Cell | Delivers 10¹³ endurance and 121-year retention without wear leveling or ECC overhead |
| Dual SPI Mode Support | Interoperates with microcontrollers using either Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) or Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) |
| Three-Tier Write Protection | Combines hardware (WP pin), software (WREN/WRDI), and block-level (BP0/BP1 bits) control for secure firmware and calibration data |
| Device ID Read Capability | Provides Manufacturer ID (0x01) and Product ID (0x52) via RDID command-enables runtime part validation in production diagnostics |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Data Logging | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Event Recorder |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power, high-endurance memory retaining settings through 15+ year vehicle lifetime with daily updates. Use Value: Achieves >100,000 lifetime writes per setting-exceeds EEPROM endurance by 10 million×, eliminating wear-out failure modes in consumer-facing modules. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF021A-SSH-T | 2-Mbit SPI flash with 100k write cycles, 8 ms page program time, no built-in write protection bits | Requires external polling and wear leveling; unsuitable for >100 Hz write rates or mission-critical logging | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs write latency and endurance requirements |
| BR25H256FJ-WE2 | 256-Kbit SPI EEPROM with 1M write cycles, 5 ms byte-write time, integrated write protect register | Limited density restricts log depth; slower writes increase risk of data loss during power fail | Acceptable for low-frequency configuration storage but not real-time sensor buffering |
Compared with AT25DF021A-SSH-T and BR25H256FJ-WE2, the CY15B102Q-SXET uniquely delivers simultaneous high density, bus-speed writes, and automotive-grade reliability-making it the only viable choice for applications demanding both rapid update frequency and long-term data integrity without firmware complexity.

FAQ
Is CY15B102Q-SXET pin-compatible with standard 8-pin SOIC serial flash devices?
Yes-CY15B102Q-SXET uses identical SOIC-8 pinout (CS, SO, WP, VSS, VDD, SI, SCK, HOLD) and supports same SPI opcodes as common 2-Mbit serial flash, enabling hardware drop-in replacement without PCB redesign. However, its NoDelay™ write behavior eliminates need for status polling code previously required for flash.
Does CY15B102Q-SXET require special initialization or firmware changes when replacing EEPROM?
Minimal changes are needed: remove EEPROM-specific write-delay loops and status-read polling. The device responds to standard SPI opcodes (0x02 write, 0x03 read, 0x05 RDSR), but supports faster continuous reads and immediate write commits. WP and HOLD pins behave identically, preserving existing hardware protection schemes.
What is the significance of AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for CY15B102Q-SXET?
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification confirms operation from –40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including full functionality during thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity stress tests. This validates suitability for under-hood locations such as transmission control modules and brake-by-wire ECUs-not just cabin-mounted infotainment systems.
Can CY15B102Q-SXET be used in SPI multi-drop configurations with other slaves?
Yes-CY15B102Q-SXET operates as a standard SPI slave with independent CS pin. Multiple units can share SI, SO, and SCK lines when each has dedicated CS routing. No arbitration or address decoding is required, and HOLD/WP pins remain locally controlled per device to prevent cross-talk during suspend or protect operations.
