Product details
Overview
CY15V104QI-20BFXIT from Infineon is a 4-Mbit serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 512K × 8, operating at 1.71–1.89 V with SPI interface up to 20 MHz, 10¹⁵ write endurance, and 151-year data retention-deployed in industrial sensor logging and real-time metering where rapid nonvolatile writes are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CY15V104QI-20BFXIT datasheet, CY15V104QI-20BFXIT pinout, CY15V104QI-20BFXIT application, or CY15V104QI-20BFXIT equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed zero-write-delay operation, inrush current control during power-up, dedicated 256-byte reflow-survivable special sector, and hardware/software write protection for mission-critical data integrity.
Technical Context
The CY15V104QI-20BFXIT implements an SPI slave interface compliant with modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), supporting full-duplex byte-level read/write without polling. Its internal F-RAM array eliminates erase cycles and enables immediate byte-write completion synchronized to SCK falling edge.
It integrates a nonvolatile status register with WPEN bit, device ID/serial number registers, and a dedicated 256-byte special sector validated for survival across three standard reflow soldering cycles (JEDEC J-STD-020). Power management includes deep power-down (0.70 µA) and hibernate (0.1 µA) modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (512K × 8), enabling compact firmware parameter storage without external EEPROM replacement |
| Interface Speed | Up to 20 MHz SPI clock, permitting 2.5 MB/s sustained write throughput with no wait states |
| Write Endurance | 10¹⁵ read/write cycles-supports continuous logging at 1 kHz for >31,700 years without wear-out |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85°C, eliminating periodic refresh or backup power requirements |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71 V to 1.89 V, compatible with 1.8 V logic domains and low-power microcontroller I/O |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade, qualified for deployment in outdoor utility meters and factory automation nodes |
| Inrush Current | 1.5 mA typical at power-up, mitigating voltage droop in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems |
Pinout & Package
8-pin ultra-thin fine-pitch land grid array (UFLGA) package, 2.0 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant, optimized for space-constrained industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (2.3 µA) when HIGH, synchronizes all opcodes on falling edge |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Drives all timing; inputs latched on rising edge, SO data driven on falling edge; supports 0–20 MHz with interruptible clock |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and write data; must be held valid to meet IDD specs; supports shared SI/SO via single-wire mode |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Drives read data only; tristated otherwise; transitions aligned to SCK falling edge for deterministic sampling |
| WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN=1; must tie to VDD if unused to prevent accidental protection |
| VDD | Power Supply | 1.71–1.89 V input; powers core logic and F-RAM array; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| DNU | Do Not Use | No internal connection; must float or tie to VDD-no routing or PCB pad recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant Nonvolatile Write | Zero latency write completion-data committed at bus speed without polling or delay, enabling deterministic real-time logging |
| Dedicated Reflow-Survivable Sector | 256-byte special sector retains data through three JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow cycles, ideal for storing calibration or board-unique IDs |
| Multi-Layer Write Protection | Hardware (WP pin) + software (WRDI instruction) + block-level (1/4, 1/2, full array) protection prevents unintended overwrites in field-deployed systems |
| Unique Device Identification | Factory-programmed 64-bit unique ID + 8-byte user-writable serial number register for secure device authentication and traceability |
| Ultra-Low Deep Power-Down | 0.70 µA typical current draw in deep power-down mode, extending battery life in always-on sensor endpoints beyond 10 years |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile serial memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B104QI-20BFXIT | Wider VDD range (1.8–3.6 V); lacks inrush current control circuitry; identical pinout and command set | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems but not for strict 1.8 V-only designs requiring controlled power-up surge | Select when board uses 3.3 V I/O or requires backward compatibility with legacy 3 V F-RAM footprints |
| MB85RS4MT-FPN-G-JNE1 | Fujitsu 4-Mbit FRAM; 1.8–3.6 V; 15 MHz max SPI; no dedicated reflow-survivable sector or unique ID register | Lacks hardware write protect pin and serial number programmability-requires external logic for secure provisioning | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where reflow survivability and device identity are non-critical |

FAQ
Is CY15V104QI-20BFXIT pin-compatible with CY15B104QI-20BFXIT?
Yes-both share identical 8-pin UFLGA footprint, pin assignments, and SPI command set. However, CY15V104QI-20BFXIT operates strictly at 1.71–1.89 V and includes inrush current control circuitry absent in the CY15B variant, requiring voltage rail validation before substitution.
Does the 256-byte special sector require separate addressing or commands?
No-the special sector is accessed using standard READ/WRITE opcodes with address range 0x7F000–0x7F0FF. It behaves identically to main array memory but is physically constructed to withstand three JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow cycles without data corruption.
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. The 8-byte serial number register is user-writable via WRSR and WRNS commands but cannot modify the immutable unique ID, ensuring cryptographic binding to hardware identity.
What happens during power loss mid-write to the main array?
Because F-RAM writes are inherently nonvolatile and complete within one SPI clock cycle, any byte successfully shifted into the device before power loss is fully retained. No partial writes or corruption occur-unlike flash or EEPROM, which risk page-level corruption during interruption.
