Product details
Overview
CY15B108QI-20LPXC 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-20LPXC datasheet, CY15B108QI-20LPXC pinout, CY15B108QI-20LPXC application, or CY15B108QI-20LPXC equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection, dedicated 256-byte special sector survivability across three reflow cycles, and deep power-down current of 0.90 µA.
Technical Context
The CY15B108QI-20LPXC implements a true SPI slave interface with zero-latency writes-no polling required-and supports full-duplex data transfer synchronized to SCK rising/falling edges. Its ferroelectric memory core eliminates erase-before-write overhead and enables byte-level random access without block management.
It integrates dual-layer write protection: hardware-based via active-low WP pin (when WPEN=1) and software-configurable block protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array), plus read-only Device ID and writable 8-byte serial number registers for traceability and system identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 8 Mbit (1024K × 8); supports byte-addressable random reads/writes without page or sector erase. |
| SPI speed | Up to 20 MHz; enables 2.5 MB/s sustained write throughput with no wait states. |
| Endurance | 1015 read/write cycles; supports continuous logging at 100 Hz for >317 years without wear-out. |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85°C; guarantees nonvolatile storage without refresh or backup power. |
| Supply voltage | 1.8 V to 3.6 V; compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Deep power-down current | 0.90 µA (typ); enables multi-year battery operation in energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered devices. |
| Inrush current control | 1.6 mA (typ) at power-up; prevents voltage droop and brownout in shared rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin ultra-thin fine-pitch land grid array (UFLGA), 2.0 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Active-low chip select input | Enables SPI communication; device enters standby and tristates SO when HIGH. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Drives all timing; inputs sampled on rising edge, outputs driven on falling edge (SPI modes 0/3). |
| SI | Serial data input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be held valid to meet IDD specs. |
| SO | Serial data output | Drives read data during memory/SR reads; tristated otherwise; shares SI pin in single-wire mode. |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for Status Register when WPEN=1; must tie to VDD if unused. |
| DNU | Do-not-use terminal | No internal connection; may float or tie to VDD; not electrically functional. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection to system ground. |
| VDD | Power supply input | Supplies core and I/O; supports 1.8–3.6 V; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant non-volatile write | Writes complete at bus speed-no delay, no polling, no erase-enabling deterministic real-time logging. |
| Dedicated 256-byte special sector | Retains data through ≥3 standard reflow cycles (260°C peak), enabling board-level serialization and calibration storage. |
| Multi-layer write protection | Combines hardware (WP pin) and software (WRDI, BP bits) to prevent accidental writes across full, half, or quarter array. |
| Unique device identification | Read-only Manufacturer ID + Product ID + Unique Device ID + writable 8-byte serial number for firmware binding and traceability. |
| Low-power operational modes | Supports standby (3.5 µA), deep power-down (0.90 µA), and hibernate (0.1 µA) for ultra-low-energy system design. |
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 memory storing billing data, firmware logs, and cryptographic keys with guaranteed integrity across power loss.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Instant-write memory ensuring zero-data-loss capture within 100 ns of power interruption or reset. Use Value: No write latency eliminates risk of missing first 50 ms of critical post-crash diagnostics due to flash programming delays. |
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-20LPXC | Same die, 8-pin SOIC package (5.0 mm × 4.0 mm); no UFLGA footprint compatibility. | Preferred for prototyping or legacy PCBs requiring through-hole or gull-wing assembly. | Select when board space allows larger package and reflow compatibility is not required. |
| FM25V05-G | Cypress (now Infineon) 512-Kbit F-RAM; half density, same 20 MHz SPI, but lacks special sector and unique ID registers. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-capacity applications where serialization and reflow resilience are not needed. | Choose only if 4 Mb is sufficient and 256-byte reflow-hardened sector is unnecessary. |
Compared with CY15B108QN-20LPXC and FM25V05-G, the CY15B108QI-20LPXC uniquely combines UFLGA miniaturization, full 8-Mbit density, dedicated reflow-survivable sector, and full-device unique ID-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
Is CY15B108QI-20LPXC 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 and functionally: no write latency, no erase commands, no status polling, and no voltage-programming requirements. Hardware integration is drop-in for footprint, but firmware must replace EEPROM/flash command sequences with F-RAM opcodes.
What is the purpose of the DNU pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
The DNU (Do Not Use) pin has no internal connection. Per Infineon's datasheet, it may be left floating or tied to VDD-neither choice affects functionality. Leaving it unconnected simplifies layout; tying to VDD avoids potential noise coupling in high-EMI environments, though not required.
Does the 151-year data retention apply at maximum operating temperature?
Yes-the 151-year retention is specified at +85°C (industrial max), verified per JEDEC JESD22-A117. At lower temperatures (e.g., +25°C), retention exceeds 1,000 years. This rating assumes proper soldering, no mechanical stress, and operation within absolute maximum ratings.
Can the special sector be used for secure key storage, and is its content protected against readout?
The 256-byte special sector is readable and writable via standard SPI commands-no hardware read protection. Its value lies in reflow survivability, not security. For secure key storage, combine it with external encryption or use Infineon's OPTIGA™ secure elements alongside this F-RAM for trusted execution and key wrapping.
