Product details
Overview
CY15V104QN20BFXIXQLA1 from Infineon is a 4-Mb serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 512K × 8, operating at 1.71–1.89 V with SPI interface up to 50 MHz, 10¹⁵ write endurance, and 151-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile memory in industrial data logging systems requiring instant writes without polling.
For engineers reviewing the CY15V104QN20BFXIXQLA1 datasheet, CY15V104QN20BFXIXQLA1 pinout, CY15V104QN20BFXIXQLA1 application, or CY15V104QN20BFXIXQLA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 50 MHz SPI timing, hardware/software write protection, dedicated 256-byte reflow-survivable sector, and industrial −40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The device implements an SPI slave interface compliant with modes 0 and 3, supporting opcode-driven read/write/erase commands without latency-writes complete within one SPI byte transfer cycle. Its F-RAM core eliminates erase-before-write and polling overhead inherent in flash/EEPROM.
On-chip logic includes a nonvolatile status register with WPEN bit, 8-byte programmable serial number, read-only Device ID (manufacturer + product ID), and dedicated 256-byte special sector retaining data across three reflow cycles. Power management supports deep power-down (0.70 µA) and hibernate (0.1 µA) modes.

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), surface-mount, industry-standard footprint with 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby and tristates SO when HIGH; required falling edge before each opcode |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SPI transfers; inputs latched on rising edge, outputs driven on falling edge; supports 0–50 MHz |
| SI | Serial input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising edge; must be driven to valid logic level |
| SO | Serial output | Drives read data during memory reads; tristated otherwise; transitions occur on SCK falling edge |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register writes when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground |
| VDD | Power supply | 1.71–1.89 V supply; powers core logic, F-RAM array, and I/O buffers |
| DNU | Do not use | No internal connection; must float or tie to VDD; no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant non-volatile write | Zero write latency-data committed immediately after final SPI byte; no polling or timeout handling required |
| Dedicated 256-byte special sector | Retains calibration data or security keys through ≥3 standard reflow soldering cycles (JEDEC J-STD-020) |
| Multi-layer write protection | Hardware (WP pin) + software (WRDI instruction) + block-level (1/4, 1/2, full array) prevents accidental overwrites |
| Unique identification | Factory-programmed 64-bit Device ID + user-writable 8-byte serial number for board-level traceability |
| Ultra-low deep power-down | 0.70 µA typical current enables >10-year battery life in energy-harvesting sensor nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile serial memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B104QN-SD20XIT | Wider VDD range (1.8–3.6 V); identical 4-Mb density, 50 MHz SPI, and F-RAM architecture | Supports mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V host with 1.8 V peripherals); not suitable for 1.71–1.89 V only rails | Select when system VDD exceeds 1.89 V or shares supply with 3.3 V logic |
| FM25V04-G | Cypress (now Infineon) 4-Mb F-RAM; same 512K × 8 organization but 40 MHz max SPI speed and 1.7–2.2 V operation | Limited to lower clock rates; lacks dedicated reflow-hardened sector and unique ID registers | Choose only if 40 MHz bandwidth suffices and reflow survivability is not required |

FAQ
Is CY15V104QN20BFXIXQLA1 pin-compatible with standard SPI EEPROMs or flash devices?
No-it is not a drop-in replacement for legacy SPI EEPROM or flash. While it uses the same 8-pin SOIC package and SPI command set (e.g., Read, Write, WREN), its instant-write behavior, absence of write-cycle delays, and dedicated F-RAM-specific registers (e.g., special sector access, Device ID) require firmware adaptation. Pin mapping matches standard SPI conventions (CS, SCK, SI, SO, WP, VDD, VSS), but DNU must be handled per datasheet guidance.
What is the purpose of the DNU pin, and how should it be connected?
The DNU (Do Not Use) pin has no internal connection and must either be left floating or tied to VDD. It is not electrically active and serves no functional role. Leaving it unconnected meets Infineon's recommended layout practice; tying to VDD provides noise immunity in high-EMI environments but is not required for operation.
Does the 256-byte special sector retain data during solder reflow, and what is the qualification standard?
Yes-the dedicated 256-byte special sector is qualified to survive three standard JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow cycles (peak 260°C). This capability is verified during wafer fabrication and allows storage of calibration data, security keys, or serial numbers that persist through PCB assembly and field repair without external backup.
How does the WP pin interact with the WPEN bit in the status register?
When WPEN = 1 in the status register, the WP pin becomes active-low hardware protection for status register writes only. It does not block memory array writes. If WP is LOW while WPEN = 1, status register modifications (e.g., changing block protection bits) are disabled. WP must be HIGH or WPEN = 0 to modify the status register; memory writes remain fully enabled regardless of WP state.
