Product details
Overview
S25FL116K0XBHI020 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 16-Mbit (2 Mbyte), 3.0 V serial NOR flash memory with SPI Multi-I/O interface, supporting Quad Read at 108 MHz and delivering up to 54 MB/s continuous data transfer. It features uniform 4-kB sector erase, 100K program-erase cycles, and 20-year data retention. Used in embedded boot code storage and firmware update storage for industrial microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL116K0XBHI020 datasheet, S25FL116K0XBHI020 pinout, S25FL116K0XBHI020 application, or S25FL116K0XBHI020 equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI quad I/O support, industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), SOIC-8 (208 mil) package compatibility, and security register OTP protection.
Technical Context
The S25FL116K0XBHI020 implements JEDEC-standard SPI command set with modes 0 and 3 clock polarity/phase support, enabling interoperability with legacy and modern host controllers. It supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) for automatic configuration and executes-in-place (XIP) via Continuous and Wrapped Read modes.
Its 90 nm floating gate technology enables single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with hardware write protection (WP#) and hold (HOLD#) inputs, plus software-controlled block protection using non-volatile status register bits and three 256-byte OTP security registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (2 Mbyte) - fixed address space for boot image or firmware partitioning |
| Interface | SPI Multi-I/O (x1/x2/x4) - reduces pin count vs parallel NOR while maintaining XIP performance |
| Max Read Speed | 54 MB/s (Quad Read @ 108 MHz) - matches x16 parallel NOR bandwidth with 6-pin interface |
| Erase Granularity | 4 kB uniform sectors - enables fine-grained firmware update without full chip erase |
| Endurance | 100K program-erase cycles - supports field firmware upgrades over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | 20 years minimum - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control and networking equipment |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (208 mil), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select | Active-low enable for SPI command sequence; must be asserted before each instruction |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Input clock synchronizing all SPI transfers; supports up to 108 MHz for Quad Read |
| IO0 (SI) | Serial Input / Data Line 0 | Primary data input in SIO mode; bidirectional in DIO/QIO; used for instruction/address/data |
| IO1 (SO) | Serial Output / Data Line 1 | Primary data output in SIO mode; bidirectional in DIO/QIO; supports dual/quad read bursts |
| IO2 (WP#) | Write Protect Input | Hardware lock for top/bottom memory blocks; active-low, overrides software protection when asserted |
| IO3 (HOLD#) | Hold Input | Suspends ongoing command mid-execution (e.g., during erase); resumes on deassertion |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Execute-In-Place (XIP) | Continuous and Wrapped Read modes reduce cache miss penalty and enable direct CPU code execution from flash |
| Security Registers | Three 256-byte OTP regions protect bootloader keys or calibration data against reprogramming |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Allows host to interrupt long erase operations (e.g., 500 ms 64-kB erase) for urgent reads or writes |
| SFDP Support | JESD216B-compliant parameter table enables automatic driver initialization without hard-coded timing values |
| Block Protection Range | Configurable top/bottom protection from 4 kB to full array - prevents accidental overwrite of critical firmware |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL064L0XMFI000 | 64 Mbit density, 133 MHz Quad Read, 1.8 V/3.0 V dual supply, newer 65 nm process | Higher capacity and speed; supports lower voltage systems; not pin-compatible with SOIC-8 (208 mil) | Select for new designs requiring >16 Mbit or 1.8 V operation; migration path per Cypress documentation |
| MX25L1606E | 16 Mbit, 104 MHz max Quad Read, no OTP security registers, no SFDP, 2.7–3.6 V | Lacks hardware security features and auto-configuration; widely available but less secure | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-security-critical applications where Cypress migration is not required |
Compared with S25FL064L and MX25L1606E, the S25FL116K0XBHI020 offers verified OTP security and SFDP compliance at 16 Mbit density, making it suitable for legacy industrial designs where footprint and security match existing layouts - though not recommended for new designs per Cypress migration guidance.

Manufacturer
Cypress Semiconductor, now part of Infineon Technologies, designs high-performance memory and microcontroller solutions for industrial, automotive, and communications markets.
The S25FL1-K family was engineered for embedded systems needing reliable, secure, and high-speed SPI flash with execute-in-place capability - targeting applications where pin count, power, and firmware integrity are critical constraints.
FAQ
Is S25FL116K0XBHI020 still in production?
No - Cypress officially retired the S25FL1-K family and does not recommend it for new designs. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and provides lifecycle coordination support for existing production programs requiring continuity of supply.
What is the package type and lead count of S25FL116K0XBHI020?
S25FL116K0XBHI020 uses an 8-lead SOIC package with 208 mil body width (SOC008 designation), RoHS-compliant, with standard gull-wing leads compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC-7351 footprints.
Does this device support Quad SPI mode with hardware write protection enabled?
No - when Quad I/O (QIO) mode is active, the WP# and HOLD# pins are repurposed as IO2 and IO3, disabling hardware write protection. Software-based protection via status register bits remains functional in QIO mode.
Can S25FL116K0XBHI020 be used in automotive applications?
Yes - it is qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (−40 °C to +85 °C) and Grade 2 (−40 °C to +105 °C), meeting automotive infotainment and body control module requirements, though newer Infineon S25FL-L series is preferred for new automotive designs.
