Product details
Overview
CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 from Infineon is an 8 Mb serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 1024K × 8, operating over SPI at up to 40 MHz with 1.8 V–3.6 V supply, 10¹⁵ write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It serves as a non-volatile 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 CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 datasheet, CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 pinout, CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 application, or CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection, dedicated 256-byte reflow-survivable sector, and deep power-down current of 0.90 µA - all confirmed in Infineon's Rev. *L datasheet.
Technical Context
The CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 implements a true SPI slave interface with zero-latency writes: data commits immediately after each byte transfer without polling, enabled by ferroelectric memory cell physics. Its control logic integrates a non-volatile status register, device ID/serial number registers, and dedicated 256-byte special sector with guaranteed survival across three reflow cycles.
Write protection operates at two levels: hardware via active-low WP pin (when WPEN=1), and software via WRDI instruction and block-protect bits for 1/4, 1/2, or full array. The device supports both SPI mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), with SCK input synchronized to rising edge and SO output timed to falling edge.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount, standard footprint compatible with automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (3.5 µA) when HIGH, activates SPI interface on falling edge |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all transfers; inputs latched on rising edge, SO driven on falling edge |
| 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 only during read operations; tristated otherwise to prevent bus contention |
| 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 PCB connection |
| VDD | Power supply | 1.8–3.6 V analog/digital supply; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| DNU | Do-not-use terminal | No internal connection; must float or tie to VDD - not left unterminated in noisy environments |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar F-RAM-based non-volatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B108QN20SNXIT | Same die, 8-pin SOIC but with industrial temp (–40°C to +85°C) and tape-and-reel packaging | Identical electrical and timing behavior; differs only in packaging format and reel quantity | Select when requiring standard tape-and-reel delivery for SMT production lines |
| FM25V05-G | 512 Kb density, 2.7–3.6 V VDD, 20 MHz max SPI, 10¹⁴ endurance, same SOIC-8 package | Lacks special sector, unique ID, and deep power-down mode; lower density limits use in high-resolution logging | Choose only for cost-sensitive legacy designs where 512 Kb capacity suffices and 40 MHz speed is unnecessary |

FAQ
Is CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs or flash devices?
Yes - it uses industry-standard SOIC-8 pinout matching common 8-pin SPI memories (e.g., AT25DF041, MX25L4005). CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, VSS, and VDD align functionally and physically. DNU replaces a second chip-select or hold pin found on some flash parts, requiring no board redesign for drop-in replacement in most cases.
Does the 256-byte special sector require separate initialization or special commands?
No - it is accessed using standard READ/WRITE opcodes (0x03/0x02) with address range 0xFFFC00–0xFFFCFF. No initialization is needed; content survives reflow cycles by process design, not firmware configuration. The sector behaves identically to main array except for its physical robustness guarantee.
What SPI modes does CY15B108QN20BFXIXQLA1 support, and how is mode selected?
It supports SPI mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) - mode is determined solely by master controller configuration. No internal register setting is required. Mode selection is transparent to firmware; the device automatically adapts to clock polarity and phase asserted by the host SPI peripheral.
Can the unique device ID be overwritten or disabled?
No - the 64-bit unique ID is factory-laser-programmed into ROM and is read-only. It cannot be altered, erased, or disabled. The 8-byte serial number register is user-writable via WRITE SERIAL NUMBER (0x1B) command but resides separately and does not affect the immutable device ID.
