Product details
Overview
CY15B108QI-20BFXIT from Infineon is an 8-Mbit serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 1024K × 8, operating over SPI at up to 20 MHz with 1.8–3.6 V supply, 1015 write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It serves as a nonvolatile memory replacement for EEPROM/flash in high-write-cycle industrial data loggers, sensor nodes, and metering systems where instant write and low power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B108QI-20BFXIT datasheet, CY15B108QI-20BFXIT pinout, CY15B108QI-20BFXIT application, or CY15B108QI-20BFXIT equivalent, key selection factors include its bus-speed write capability (no polling), inrush current control, hardware/software write protection, dedicated 256-byte special sector, and industrial −40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The CY15B108QI-20BFXIT implements a true SPI slave interface compliant with modes 0 and 3, supporting full-duplex communication with SI/SO pins and chip-select–driven activation. Its internal architecture eliminates write latency by performing byte-level nonvolatile writes synchronously with SPI clock edges-no erase cycles or status polling required.
It integrates dual-layer write protection: hardware-level via active-low WP pin (when WPEN=1) and software-level via WRDI instruction and configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array). A dedicated 256-byte special sector retains data across three reflow cycles, and device identification includes manufacturer ID, product ID, unique device ID, and user-writable 8-byte serial number.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 8 Mbit (1024K × 8); supports byte-addressable nonvolatile storage without page/sector erase overhead. |
| SPI speed | Up to 20 MHz; enables 2.5 MB/s sustained write throughput with zero wait states. |
| Write endurance | 1015 read/write cycles; supports >273 years of continuous 100-Hz logging at full array depth. |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85°C; guarantees data integrity without refresh or backup power in unattended deployments. |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 3.6 V; interoperable with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V microcontroller I/O domains. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and smart grid infrastructure. |
| Deep power-down current | 0.90 µA typical; reduces system standby power in battery-powered edge sensors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin ultra-thin fine-pitch land grid array (UFLGA), 2.0 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant, NRND status noted but commercially available per Infineon documentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Active-low chip select input | Enables SPI communication; device enters tristate and standby when HIGH, eliminating bus contention in multi-device configurations. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all data transfers; rising edge latches inputs, falling edge drives outputs-supports interrupted clock and variable frequency (0–20 MHz). |
| SI | Serial data input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; may be shared with SO in single-wire mode per design note. |
| SO | Serial data output | Drives read data on falling SCK edge; remains high-impedance during writes and standby to prevent signal conflicts. |
| WP | Hardware write protect input | Blocks Status Register writes when WPEN=1; must be tied to VDD if unused to prevent accidental lockout. |
| DNU | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; floating or tied to VDD-no electrical function or timing impact. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all digital and analog currents; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| VDD | Power supply input | Supplies core logic and memory array; supports inrush current control circuitry to limit peak startup draw to 1.6 mA typical. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant nonvolatile write | Writes complete at bus speed-no delay between byte transfer and data persistence; eliminates firmware polling loops and timeout handling. |
| Dedicated special sector | 256-byte F-RAM region survives ≥3 reflow cycles; enables secure storage of calibration data, MAC addresses, or firmware version stamps directly on PCB. |
| Inrush current control | Peak startup current limited to 1.6 mA typical; prevents brown-out in power-constrained systems during cold boot or reset recovery. |
| Unique device identification | Factory-programmed 64-bit unique ID + 8-byte writable serial number; supports device traceability, secure boot binding, and field asset management. |
| Multi-layer write protection | Hardware (WP pin) + software (WRDI, BP bits) protection; prevents unintended writes during ESD events, firmware bugs, or voltage droops. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B108QN-20BFXIT | Same die, 8-pin GQFN package (2.5 mm × 2.5 mm); higher thermal resistance; NRND status confirmed. | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and legacy GQFN assembly lines are in use. | Select only if UFLGA reflow compatibility is unavailable; identical electrical behavior and timing. |
| FM25V05-G | Cypress (now Infineon) 512-Kbit F-RAM; 1.7–2.2 V supply; max 40 MHz SPI; no special sector or unique ID. | Suitable for lower-density, ultra-low-voltage designs where 8 Mbit and industrial temp range are not required. | Choose for cost-sensitive, sub-2 V systems; not drop-in due to density, voltage, and feature gaps. |
Compared with CY15B108QN-20BFXIT, the UFLGA variant offers smaller footprint and better thermal performance; versus FM25V05-G, it delivers 16× density, wider voltage range, and enhanced security features-making it optimal for next-gen industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
Is CY15B108QI-20BFXIT pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs or flash devices?
No-it shares the same 8-pin SPI pinout (CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, VSS, VDD, DNU) but differs electrically: no write enable polling, no erase commands, and no address latching delays. Firmware must be adapted to omit status polling and erase sequences, though command opcodes for read/write are SPI-standard.
Does the "DNU" pin require any PCB layout treatment?
Yes-the DNU pin is not internally connected and must either be left floating (unrouted) or tied to VDD. Routing it to ground or driving it actively violates datasheet specifications and may increase leakage or cause undefined behavior during power-up sequencing.
How is the 151-year data retention validated?
Infineon validates retention per JEDEC JESD22-A117 using accelerated high-temperature testing (125°C, 150°C) with Arrhenius modeling, extrapolated to real-world conditions. The 151-year figure applies at +85°C ambient and assumes proper PCB layout (ground plane, decoupling) and VDD within 1.8–3.6 V tolerance.
Can the special sector be used for secure key storage?
While the 256-byte special sector survives reflow and supports write protection, it lacks hardware encryption or access control. It is suitable for static keys only when combined with external secure elements or MCU-based key wrapping; Infineon does not guarantee cryptographic isolation within this sector.
