Product details
Overview
S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 16-Mbit (2 Mbyte), 3.0 V serial NOR flash memory with SPI Multi-I/O interface, supporting Normal, Fast, Dual, and Quad Read modes up to 108 MHz, uniform 4-kB sector and 64-kB block erase, and Execute-In-Place (XIP) capability for embedded code storage in industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C). It is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (208 mil) package and used in microcontroller boot code storage and firmware update applications.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 datasheet, S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 pinout, S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 application, or S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 equivalent, key selection considerations include quad-mode read throughput (54 MB/s), 100K program-erase endurance, 20-year data retention, hardware/software write protection, and migration path to S25FL064L for new designs.
Technical Context
This SPI flash implements JEDEC-standard Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) for automatic configuration and supports command-set compatibility with prior S25FL-K families. Its 90 nm floating gate technology enables single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 3.6 V with low-power Deep-Power-Down (2 µA) and Standby (15 µA) modes.
The device features dual and quad I/O protocols using IO0–IO3 pins, with WP# and HOLD# configurable as dedicated control inputs or secondary I/Os depending on mode. Quad Read disables WP#/HOLD# functionality, while Program/Erase Suspend & Resume enable real-time host interrupt handling during non-volatile operations.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL064L0XMFI00 | 64 Mbit density, 133 MHz Quad Read, 1.8 V/3.0 V dual supply, enhanced SFDP v1.6 | Supports larger firmware images and newer MCU interfaces requiring higher bandwidth or lower voltage | Select for new designs requiring >16 Mbit capacity or future-proofing against obsolescence |
| MX25L1606EM2I-12G | 16 Mbit, 85 MHz Quad Read, 2.7–3.6 V, no Program/Erase Suspend, no OTP security registers | Lacks suspend/resume and hardware security features; suitable for cost-sensitive, non-secure applications | Choose only when security, interrupt tolerance, or legacy S25FL1-K command compatibility are not required |
Compared with S25FL116K0XMFIQ11, S25FL064L0XMFI00 offers 4× capacity and higher speed but requires board redesign; MX25L1606EM2I-12G provides pin-compatible drop-in replacement only for basic read/write use cases without security or suspend functionality.

Manufacturer
Cypress Semiconductor (now part of Infineon Technologies) designs high-performance, reliable non-volatile memory and programmable system-on-chip solutions for industrial, automotive, and communications markets.
The S25FL1-K family was engineered for embedded systems needing robust SPI flash with XIP support, hardware security, and industrial temperature resilience-prioritizing firmware integrity and field upgradeability.
FAQ
Is S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 still recommended for new designs?
No. Cypress explicitly states this part is "Not Recommended for New Design" and designates S25FL064L as the factory-recommended migration path. While fully functional and supported for existing production, new projects should adopt the S25FL-L family for long-term supply assurance, enhanced features, and updated qualification.
What does the 'XMF' in S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 indicate?
The 'XMF' suffix denotes an 8-lead SOIC (208 mil) package with Industrial temperature grade (−40 °C to +85 °C), RoHS-compliant finish, and tape-and-reel packaging. The 'IQ11' further specifies Infineon's internal revision and assembly lot coding, consistent with Cypress' post-acquisition labeling conventions.
Can S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 operate in Quad I/O mode while retaining WP# and HOLD# functionality?
No. In Quad I/O mode, IO2 (WP#) and IO3 (HOLD#) are repurposed as bidirectional data lines and cannot serve as hardware protection inputs. To retain WP#/HOLD# control, the device must be configured for Single or Dual I/O mode via Status Register bits, limiting maximum read speed to 27 MB/s.
Does S25FL116K0XMFIQ11 support unique device identification?
Yes. Each unit contains an 8-byte Unique ID accessible via the Read Unique ID command (though this command is not supported in S25FL1-K per datasheet section 1.1.2.2). Instead, device identity is derived from JEDEC-standard Manufacturer ID (0x01) and Device ID (0x4015), verified via RDID command, enabling basic traceability and inventory management.
