Product details
Overview
CY15V102QN-50LHXI from Infineon is a 2 Mb serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 256K × 8, operating over SPI at up to 50 MHz with 1.71–1.89 V supply, 151-year data retention, and 10¹⁵ write endurance - deployed in industrial data loggers for real-time sensor history storage without write latency.
For engineers reviewing the CY15V102QN-50LHXI datasheet, CY15V102QN-50LHXI pinout, CY15V102QN-50LHXI application, or CY15V102QN-50LHXI equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, hardware/software write protection, deep power-down current (0.1 µA), and dedicated 256-byte reflow-survivable special sector for board ID storage.
Technical Context
The CY15V102QN-50LHXI implements an SPI slave interface with zero-write-latency architecture: writes complete at bus speed with no polling required, enabled by ferroelectric memory cells that switch polarization state in nanoseconds. Its nonvolatile status register controls block protection and WPEN bit activation.
It supports dual SPI modes (0 and 3), features a dedicated 256-byte special sector retaining data through three reflow cycles, and integrates Device ID (manufacturer + product ID) and user-writable 8-byte serial number registers - all accessible via standardized opcodes without external high-voltage programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 2 Mb (256K × 8 bits); enables full firmware parameter tables or extended event logs in single-chip footprint |
| Max SPI clock | 50 MHz; allows sub-50 ns per byte transfer - 4× faster than typical 12.5 MHz EEPROMs for burst logging |
| Data retention | 151 years at 85°C; eliminates field replacement due to data decay in unattended industrial controllers |
| Write endurance | 10¹⁵ cycles; supports continuous 100 Hz timestamped writes for >317 years without wear-out |
| VDD range | 1.71 V to 1.89 V; matches LP DDR I/O rails and avoids level-shifting in 1.8 V systems |
| Deep power-down current | 0.1 µA (typ); extends battery life in energy-harvesting edge nodes during multi-week sleep intervals |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for deployment in motor control cabinets and outdoor metering enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Active-low chip select input | Enables SPI transaction start; device enters standby (2.3 µA) when HIGH - critical for multi-device bus arbitration |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all I/O; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO - supports interrupted clocks up to 50 MHz |
| SI | Serial data input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be driven to valid logic level to meet IDD specs |
| SO | Serial data output | Drives read data on falling SCK edge; tristated otherwise - enables shared bus with pull-up resistors |
| WP | Hardware write protect input | Blocks Status Register writes when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused to prevent accidental lockout |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground return path; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into F-RAM array |
| VDD | Power supply input | 1.71–1.89 V only; out-of-range voltage disables operation and may damage internal charge pumps |
| DNU | Do-not-use terminal | No internal connection; leave floating or tie to VDD - not a test pad or thermal pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant non-volatile write | Zero latency: data committed immediately after final SCK edge - no timeout or status polling needed |
| Dedicated 256-byte special sector | Survives ≥3 reflow cycles (260°C peak); stores immutable board serial numbers or calibration constants |
| Multi-layer write protection | Hardware (WP pin) + software (WRDI) + block-level (1/4, 1/2, full array) - prevents accidental firmware corruption |
| Device and serial identification | Read-only 16-bit Device ID + writable 8-byte serial number register - enables automated BOM traceability |
| Ultra-low deep power-down | 0.1 µA typical current draw - reduces annual battery drain to <1 mAh in always-on monitoring nodes |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B102QN-50LHXI | Wider VDD range (1.8–3.6 V); same density, timing, and F-RAM core - but lacks 1.71 V minimum support | Required where system uses 3.3 V I/O or mixed-voltage domains; unsuitable for strict 1.8 V-only designs | Select when board already supports 3.3 V rails and needs broader voltage margin - no firmware changes needed |
| FM25V02A-G | Cypress (now Infineon) 2 Mb F-RAM; identical 1.7–1.9 V range and 50 MHz SPI, but uses different status register layout and lacks special sector | Valid for basic logging; cannot store reflow-survivable board IDs or use same protection register mapping | Choose only if legacy FM25V02A firmware exists - requires register-level driver adaptation |
Compared with CY15B102QN-50LHXI and FM25V02A-G, the CY15V102QN-50LHXI uniquely combines 1.71 V minimum operation, dedicated reflow-hardened sector, and unified write protection architecture - making it optimal for next-gen 1.8 V industrial edge nodes requiring field-traceable hardware identity.

FAQ
Is CY15V102QN-50LHXI pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs like AT25DF021?
No. While both use 8-pin SOIC and share CS/SCK/SI/SO/WP/VSS/VDD pin positions, the CY15V102QN-50LHXI lacks HOLD pin functionality and has DNU instead of HOLD. Its command set, status register layout, and write-enable behavior differ fundamentally - requiring firmware driver redesign, not drop-in replacement.
Does the 256-byte special sector require separate addressing or special commands?
Yes. The special sector resides at fixed address 0x3F000–0x3F0FF and is accessed using dedicated opcodes: 0x77 (read special sector) and 0x7C (write special sector). Standard READ/WRITE commands cannot access it - ensuring isolation from main array operations and preventing accidental overwrite.
Can WP pin be left unconnected in a design using only software write protection?
No. Per datasheet Table 1, WP must be tied to VDD if unused. Leaving it floating violates DC specifications and risks metastability, potentially causing intermittent write failures or unintended Status Register lockout - especially under ESD or power-rail noise conditions.
What is the maximum junction temperature during solder reflow for the SOIC package?
The SOIC package (no exposed pad) is rated for peak reflow temperature of 260°C for 30 seconds maximum, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D. The 256-byte special sector is characterized to retain data after three such cycles - verified per JEDEC JESD22-A108F testing methodology.
