Product details
Overview
CY15B104QN-50SXIT from Infineon is a 4-Mb serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 512K × 8, operating over SPI at up to 50 MHz with 1.8 V–3.6 V supply, 10¹⁵ write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It serves as a nonvolatile memory replacement for EEPROM/flash in real-time data logging, industrial controllers, and metering systems requiring instant writes without polling.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B104QN-50SXIT datasheet, CY15B104QN-50SXIT pinout, CY15B104QN-50SXIT application, or CY15B104QN-50SXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection, deep power-down current (0.70 µA), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The CY15B104QN-50SXIT implements a true SPI slave interface with zero-write-latency architecture: data commits immediately upon byte transfer, eliminating status polling. Its ferroelectric memory array enables deterministic write timing independent of address location or prior erase cycles.
It integrates a nonvolatile status register with WPEN bit control, dual write protection (hardware WP pin + software WRDI/block protect), and dedicated 256-byte special sector surviving three reflow cycles. Device ID and 8-byte programmable serial number support traceability and system identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
8-pin SOIC package (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, industrial-grade moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (2.3 µA) when HIGH; required falling edge before each opcode |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all I/O; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO; supports 0–50 MHz with interrupt tolerance |
| SI | Serial data input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level to meet IDD specs |
| SO | Serial data output | Drives read data during MISO phase; tristated otherwise; transitions on SCK falling edge |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system GND |
| VDD | Power supply | Core and I/O supply; bypass capacitor (≥100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin |
| DNU | Do-not-use terminal | No internal connection; must float or tie to VDD; not for PCB routing or thermal relief |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant non-volatile write | Zero latency commit: data written to F-RAM array immediately after SPI byte transfer completes |
| Dedicated 256-byte special sector | Retains content through ≥3 lead-free reflow cycles (260°C peak), enabling board-level serialization |
| Multi-layer write protection | Combines hardware (WP pin), software disable (WRDI), and block-level (1/4, 1/2, full array) locking |
| Device and serial identification | Factory-programmed 16-bit Device ID + unique 64-bit ID + user-writable 8-byte serial number register |
| Ultra-low deep power-down | 0.70 µA typical current enables multi-year operation from coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free sensors |
Applications
| Smart Energy Metering | Industrial PLC Data Logging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous timestamped energy consumption recording with 1-second resolution and tamper-proof audit trail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile buffer storing raw kWh, voltage, and event logs; replaces EEPROM to eliminate write stalls during power loss. Use Value: 10¹⁵ endurance ensures >30 years of daily 10,000-write cycles; 151-year retention guarantees regulatory compliance without backup power. | Use Scenario: Real-time capture of sensor inputs (temperature, pressure, flow) in factory automation controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed shadow RAM for volatile process data, instantly hardened to nonvolatile storage on cycle boundary. Use Value: 50 MHz SPI enables sub-200 ns per-byte write; eliminates missed samples during burst acquisition windows. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Crash-triggered nonvolatile logger capturing pre-impact CAN bus state and sensor fusion data. Use Value: Instant write capability ensures DTCs are saved within 100 ns of fault detection-no data loss during brown-out. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile serial memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B104QSN-50ZSXI | Same die, UFLGA-8 (2.5 mm × 3.0 mm) package; 0.4 mm pitch; MSL 1 vs SOIC's MSL 3 | Better suited for space-constrained portable medical devices; requires fine-pitch reflow profile | Select for ultra-compact PCB layouts where thermal cycling reliability is secondary to size |
| FM25V04-G | Cypress (Infineon) 4-Mb F-RAM, 50 MHz SPI, but VDD = 2.0–3.6 V; no 1.8 V support; identical endurance/retention | Lacks 1.8 V operation; incompatible with 1.8 V I/O MCUs without level shifting | Choose only when system operates exclusively at ≥2.0 V and UFLGA footprint is unavailable |
Compared with CY15B104QSN-50ZSXI and FM25V04-G, the CY15B104QN-50SXIT uniquely supports 1.8 V operation in an industry-standard SOIC-8 package with MSL 3 rating-making it optimal for industrial controllers requiring robust manufacturability and wide voltage compatibility.

FAQ
Is CY15B104QN-50SXIT pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25DF041?
No. While both use 8-pin SOIC and SPI interface, CY15B104QN-50SXIT has a DNU pin (pin 2) and different pin mapping: SI/SO are separate (not shared), and WP is functional-not NC. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision and firmware adaptation for F-RAM's zero-latency write protocol.
Does the 256-byte special sector require special commands to access?
Yes. The special sector uses dedicated opcodes: 0x77 (read special sector) and 0x7C (write special sector). Unlike main array access, these commands bypass standard address bytes and operate on fixed 256-byte region. Write protection applies separately and must be disabled explicitly via WRSR command before programming.
Can the serial number be rewritten multiple times?
Yes. The 8-byte serial number register is located in the main F-RAM array and supports full 10¹⁵ write cycles. It is accessed using standard WRITE (0x02) and READ (0x03) opcodes with address 0x7F000–0x7F007. No special unlock sequence is needed beyond standard WREN instruction.
What is the maximum junction temperature during reflow for CY15B104QN-50SXIT in SOIC package?
The SOIC-8 package is rated for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020E: peak temperature 260°C for ≤40 seconds, with ramp rate ≤3°C/s. The 256-byte special sector is characterized to retain data after three such cycles; standard F-RAM array retention is unaffected by reflow thermal profiles.
