Product details
Overview
CY15V108QN-50BKXI from Infineon is an 8-Mbit serial ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) organized as 1024K × 8, operating at up to 50 MHz SPI clock, with 1.71–1.89 V supply and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It delivers instant non-volatile writes, 10¹⁵ read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention-enabling reliable logging in battery-constrained IoT sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the CY15V108QN-50BKXI datasheet, CY15V108QN-50BKXI pinout, CY15V108QN-50BKXI application, or CY15V108QN-50BKXI equivalent, this F-RAM serves as a hardware-compatible replacement for serial EEPROM/flash in high-write-cycle systems requiring zero write latency, ultra-low active/standby current, and reflow-survivable special-sector storage.
Technical Context
The CY15V108QN-50BKXI implements a true SPI slave interface compliant with Modes 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1), supporting continuous read/write without polling or erase cycles. Its internal architecture integrates a 1024K × 8 main F-RAM array plus a dedicated 256-byte special sector that retains data across three standard reflow soldering cycles.
Write protection is enforced via dual-layer control: hardware-level WP pin assertion (active-low) combined with software-configurable Status Register bits (WPEN, BP0–BP2) enabling 1/4-, 1/2-, or full-array block locking. Device identification includes fixed Manufacturer ID (0x01), Product ID (0x5B), unique 64-bit Device ID, and user-writable 8-byte serial number registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (1024K × 8), directly addressable byte-wise over SPI without page/sector management |
| Max SPI Clock | 50 MHz - enables 5 MB/s sustained write throughput with no wait states |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85°C - eliminates periodic refresh or backup power requirements |
| Endurance | 10¹⁵ read/write cycles - supports continuous logging at 1 kHz for >31,700 years |

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (FBGA), 6 mm × 8 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; places device in standby (tri-state I/O, 7.5 µA) when HIGH |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes all SPI transfers; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO |

| Dedicated reflow-survivable sector | 256-byte special F-RAM retains calibration or identity data through three 260°C reflow cycles |
| Multi-layer write protection | Hardware (WP pin) + software (Status Register BP bits) enables granular, field-updatable memory locking |
| Unique device identification | Factory-programmed 64-bit Device ID + user-writable 8-byte serial number for traceability and anti-cloning |
| Ultra-low deep power-down | 0.9 µA typical current enables >10-year battery operation in maintenance-free remote sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial non-volatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B108QN-50BKXI | Wider VDD range (1.8–3.6 V); same density, timing, and F-RAM architecture | Required where system rail exceeds 1.89 V or shares supply with 3.3 V peripherals | Select when board-level VDD tolerance exceeds CY15V108QN's 1.89 V max - no firmware or layout changes needed |
| AT45DB081E-SSHN-B | 8 Mbit DataFlash; requires 10–100 ms page erase/write; 100k endurance; 20-year retention | Acceptable only in low-write-frequency applications with software timeout handling | Use only if legacy SPI flash footprint must be retained and write frequency < 100×/hour |
Compared with CY15B108QN-50BKXI, the CY15V108QN offers tighter voltage control for ultra-low-power designs, while AT45DB081E demands significant firmware adaptation for erase management and endurance monitoring - making it unsuitable for high-write-rate deployments.

FAQ
Is CY15V108QN-50BKXI pin-compatible with CY15B108QN-50BKXI?
Yes - both share identical 24-ball FBGA package, pinout, and SPI command set. The only difference is supply voltage range: CY15V108QN supports 1.71–1.89 V, while CY15B108QN supports 1.8–3.6 V. No PCB or firmware changes are required when substituting within the overlapping 1.8–1.89 V range.
Does the special 256-byte sector require separate addressing or commands?
No - the special sector uses standard SPI read/write opcodes (0x03/0x02) with addresses 0xFFFC00–0xFFFCFF. It behaves identically to main array memory but is fabricated with enhanced thermal stability to survive reflow. No driver modifications are needed to access it.
Can WP pin be left unconnected in a design?
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 behavior due to noise coupling.
What is the minimum SCK frequency supported for reliable operation?
The device supports DC-coupled SCK - meaning 0 Hz (static CS assertion) is valid. However, for guaranteed timing compliance, Infineon specifies tCH and tCL ≥ 10 ns (i.e., ≤ 100 MHz max), with no lower bound. Systems may pause SCK indefinitely between bytes without affecting functionality or data integrity.
