Product details
Overview
CY15V104QN-20LPXI from Infineon is a 4-Mb serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 512K × 8, operating at 1.71–1.89 V with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 50 MHz SPI interface, and 10¹⁵ write endurance - deployed in real-time data logging systems where microsecond write latency and zero polling are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CY15V104QN-20LPXI datasheet, CY15V104QN-20LPXI pinout, CY15V104QN-20LPXI application, or CY15V104QN-20LPXI equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (8-pin SOIC), confirmed SPI mode 0/3 compatibility, validated 256-byte special sector behavior across reflow cycles, and exact write-protection logic per WP pin and status register configuration.
Technical Context
The CY15V104QN-20LPXI implements a true SPI slave architecture with zero-write-latency operation: each byte written commits instantly without internal erase or program delays. Its ferroelectric memory array eliminates the block-erase overhead of flash and the slow byte-programming of EEPROM.
It supports dual SPI modes (0 and 3), features a nonvolatile status register with WPEN bit control, and integrates dedicated 256-byte special sector F-RAM that survives up to three standard reflow soldering cycles - enabling board-level traceability without post-solder programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 4 Mb (512K × 8 bits) - supports full byte-addressable access without page or sector management overhead |
| SPI clock frequency | Up to 50 MHz - enables sub-200 ns per-byte transfer time for high-throughput logging |
| Write endurance | 10¹⁵ cycles - sustains continuous 1 kHz write bursts for >31 years without wear-out |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85°C - guarantees nonvolatile storage without refresh or backup power |
| Supply voltage | 1.71 V to 1.89 V - compatible with 1.8 V core logic rails and low-power SoC interfaces |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, metering, and automotive body electronics |
| Deep power-down current | 0.70 µA (typ) - enables multi-year battery operation in energy-harvesting sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin small outline integrated circuit (SOIC), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount, 150 mil width.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (2.3 µA) when HIGH; must fall before every opcode |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Rising edge latches SI; falling edge drives SO; supports 0–50 MHz with synchronous pause capability |
| 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 on falling SCK edge; tristated during all non-read operations |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register when WPEN = 1; must tie to VDD if unused |
| VSS | Ground | System reference ground; required connection for stable 1.8 V operation and EMI control |
| VDD | Power supply | 1.71–1.89 V supply; powers internal charge pump and ferroelectric array; decoupling mandatory |
| DNU | Do-not-use terminal | No internal connection; leave floating or tie to VDD - no electrical or thermal function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Instant non-volatile write | Zero latency commit: data written at bus speed with no polling, timeout, or retry logic required |
| Dedicated 256-byte special sector | Survives ≥3 reflow cycles - enables permanent board ID storage programmed pre-assembly |
| Hierarchical write protection | Combines hardware (WP pin), software disable (WRDI), and block-lock (1/4, 1/2, full array) |
| Device identification | Read-only Device ID (manufacturer + product ID) + writable 8-byte serial number register |
| Low-voltage deep power-down | 0.70 µA standby at 1.8 V - reduces annual energy use to <6 µWh in always-on monitoring nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B104QN-20LPXI | Wider VDD range (1.8–3.6 V); identical timing, pinout, and command set | Required for mixed-voltage systems with 3.3 V peripherals or legacy 2.5 V logic | Select when system VDD exceeds 1.89 V or shares rail with 3.3 V SPI masters |
| MB85RS4MT-FPN-GE1 | Fujitsu 4 Mb FRAM; 1.8–3.6 V; 40 MHz max; no special sector or serial number registers | Lacks reflow-survivable ID storage and hierarchical write protection | Choose only when basic F-RAM functionality suffices and board-level traceability is not required |
Compared with CY15B104QN-20LPXI, the CY15V104QN-20LPXI offers tighter voltage tolerance ideal for 1.8 V-only designs, while MB85RS4MT lacks the special sector and serial number features essential for certified industrial deployments.

FAQ
Is CY15V104QN-20LPXI pin-compatible with CY15B104QN-20LPXI?
Yes - both devices share identical 8-pin SOIC pinout, SPI command set, timing parameters, and functional register map. The only difference is VDD operating range: CY15V104QN requires 1.71–1.89 V, while CY15B104QN supports 1.8–3.6 V. No PCB redesign is needed when migrating between them in 1.8 V systems.
What does "special sector survives three reflow cycles" mean in practice?
The dedicated 256-byte F-RAM sector retains data through up to three standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 60 sec). This allows pre-programming of unique board IDs or calibration data before SMT assembly - eliminating post-solder programming steps and enabling full traceability from bare PCB to finished product.
Does CY15V104QN-20LPXI require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No - unlike EEPROM or flash, it performs all writes using standard 1.8 V supply. There is no need for charge pumps, boost circuits, or high-voltage generators. Write operations complete synchronously with SPI clock edges, drawing only typical active current (2.4 mA at 40 MHz), with no voltage spikes or timing uncertainty.
Can the WP pin be left unconnected?
No - the WP pin must be tied to VDD if not actively used for hardware write protection. Leaving it floating violates the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings and may cause unpredictable status register locking or increased standby current due to input leakage instability.
