Product details
Overview
CY15E064Q-SXE from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 64-Kbit (8K × 8) automotive-grade serial SPI F-RAM with 1013 read/write endurance, 121-year data retention at +85 °C, and NoDelay™ write capability. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V across –40 °C to +125 °C, supports SPI modes 0 and 3 up to 16 MHz, and serves as a hardware drop-in replacement for serial EEPROM/flash in real-time data logging systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY15E064Q-SXE datasheet, CY15E064Q-SXE pinout, CY15E064Q-SXE application, or CY15E064Q-SXE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, zero-write-latency operation, 10 µA standby current at +85 °C, and hardware/software write protection via WP pin and status register configuration.
Technical Context
The CY15E064Q-SXE implements a ferroelectric memory array with direct byte-addressable SPI access, eliminating erase cycles and polling overhead. Its internal architecture includes an 8K × 8 nonvolatile F-RAM core, a 3-bit status register with write-protect enable (WPEN), and dedicated control logic for opcode decoding, address latching, and I/O timing synchronization.
It functions strictly as an SPI slave device with fixed 2-byte addressing (13-bit effective), MSB-first transmission, and dual-mode clocking (SCK rising-edge input latch, falling-edge output drive). The HOLD pin enables deterministic transaction suspension without clock or CS dependency, and the WP pin provides hardware-level status register lock independent of software commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 64 Kbit (8K × 8), enabling compact storage for firmware patches or calibration tables in space-constrained ECUs |
| Endurance | 1013 read/write cycles - supports >100 years of continuous 100-Hz logging at automotive duty cycle |
| Data retention | 121 years at +85 °C - eliminates periodic refresh or backup power requirements in always-on modules |
| SPI speed | Up to 16 MHz - achieves 1.6 MB/s sequential write throughput without wait states |
| Operating voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with legacy 5-V automotive power rails and avoids level-shifting complexity |
| Temperature range | –40 °C to +125 °C (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) - qualified for engine bay and transmission control unit placement |
| Standby current | 10 µA (typ) at +85 °C - reduces quiescent power in sleep-mode vehicle networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, body width 3.9 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby when HIGH, disables all I/O and tristates SO |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SPI transfers; inputs latched on rising edge, outputs driven on falling edge |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level to meet IDD specs |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data during active transactions; high-impedance otherwise, including during HOLD assertion |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; must be tied to VDD if unused |
| HOLD | Transaction suspend input | Pauses ongoing SPI operation without clock or CS dependency; transitions only allowed while SCK = LOW |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuitry; must connect to system ground plane |
| VDD | Power supply | Primary 4.5–5.5 V supply; no internal regulation - requires stable external rail per datasheet tolerances |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write | Immediate byte-level write completion at bus speed - eliminates firmware polling loops and improves deterministic response in safety-critical logging |
| 1013 endurance | 10 million × higher than EEPROM - enables lifetime data capture in telematics black boxes without wear leveling |
| Dual SPI mode support | Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) - ensures interoperability with diverse MCU SPI peripherals without reconfiguration |
| Hardware + software write protection | WP pin locks status register; software block protection covers 1/4, 1/2, or full array - prevents accidental overwrites in multi-threaded ECU firmware |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood operation - meets reliability, thermal, and ESD requirements without additional qualification effort |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile serial memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM25V05-G | 512-Kbit SPI F-RAM, 2.7–3.6 V operation, 40 MHz max clock, SOIC-8 package | Higher density and speed but incompatible voltage range; requires level-shifting in 5-V automotive systems | Select when migrating to 3.3-V domains with need for larger log buffers and faster throughput |
| AT25DF041A-SHN-T | 4-Mbit SPI flash, 2.7–3.6 V, 80 MHz, 100k write cycles, requires sector erase before write | Lower endurance and 20+ ms erase latency; lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Acceptable only for infrequent configuration storage where write latency and longevity are noncritical |
Compared with FM25V05-G and AT25DF041A-SHN-T, CY15E064Q-SXE uniquely delivers 5-V compatibility, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification, and true zero-latency writes - making it the only option for safety-relevant, high-frequency logging in legacy 5-V automotive platforms.

FAQ
Is CY15E064Q-SXE pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25040?
Yes - CY15E064Q-SXE uses the same 8-pin SOIC footprint and SPI command set (WREN, WRDI, RDSR, WRSR, READ, WRITE) as legacy serial EEPROMs. It supports identical opcodes and address formats, enabling direct PCB-level replacement without layout changes or firmware rework.
Does CY15E064Q-SXE require external capacitors or power sequencing?
No - the device has no internal charge pumps or regulators and draws only 300 µA active current at 1 MHz. A single 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed near VDD/VSS is sufficient; no power-up sequencing or reset timing constraints apply beyond standard 5-V rail stability.
How does the HOLD pin behave during an ongoing write operation?
When HOLD is asserted LOW during a write, the device suspends the current transaction immediately after completing the current byte transfer. SCK and CS are ignored until HOLD returns HIGH, then the operation resumes from the next bit - preserving data integrity without corruption or restart overhead.
Can CY15E064Q-SXE be used in systems requiring ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance?
While CY15E064Q-SXE itself is not ASIL-certified, its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 1013 endurance, and deterministic NoDelay™ writes make it suitable for ASIL-B data storage layers when integrated with appropriate system-level fault detection, such as CRC-protected logging and watchdog-monitored write verification.
