Nexperia USA Inc. S25FL116K0XMFV010

Overview

S25FL116K0XMFV010 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, 20-year data retention, and security registers with OTP protection. Used for code storage and execute-in-place (XIP) in space-constrained embedded controllers.

For engineers reviewing the S25FL116K0XMFV010 datasheet, S25FL116K0XMFV010 pinout, S25FL116K0XMFV010 application, or S25FL116K0XMFV010 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad-mode read performance, industrial temperature support (−40 °C to +85 °C), SOIC-8 (150 mil) package compatibility, and migration path to S25FL064L for new designs.

Technical Context

This SPI flash implements JEDEC-standard Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) and supports four I/O modes: Single, Fast, Dual, and Quad Read - all operating up to 108 MHz across −40 °C to +85 °C. Its 90 nm floating gate process enables low-power operation with 16 mA active current during Quad Read and only 15 µA standby draw.

The device integrates hardware write protection (WP#), hold functionality (HOLD#), and programmable block protection via status register bits and software commands. Security architecture includes three 256-byte OTP-protected security registers, an 8-byte unique ID, and lock-down-until-power-cycle protection mode.

FAQ

Is S25FL116K0XMFV010 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 with full traceability and supports existing production programs through lifecycle coordination and last-time-buy planning.

What is the correct replacement for S25FL116K0XMFV010?

The factory-recommended migration path is S25FL064L0XMFI001 - a pin-compatible, drop-in upgrade offering 64 Mbit density, 133 MHz Quad Read, and extended feature set including enhanced security and faster program/erase times, all in the same SOIC-8 (150 mil) package.

Does S25FL116K0XMFV010 support Execute-in-Place (XIP)?

Yes - it supports efficient XIP via Continuous Read and Wrapped Read modes, enabling direct CPU instruction fetch from flash. Quad Read at 108 MHz delivers 54 MB/s bandwidth, matching or exceeding legacy parallel NOR performance while using only six signal lines.

Can WP# and HOLD# be used simultaneously with Quad I/O mode?

No - when Quad I/O mode is enabled (via status register bit QUAD), the WP# and HOLD# pins are reassigned as IO2 and IO3 for data transfer. Hardware write protection and hold functionality are disabled in this mode and must be managed via software commands instead.
