Product details
Overview
S25FL116K0XNFA010 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 control and automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL116K0XNFA010 datasheet, S25FL116K0XNFA010 pinout, S25FL116K0XNFA010 application, or S25FL116K0XNFA010 equivalent, key selection considerations include quad-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, supports SPI clock modes 0 and 3, and enables suspend/resume during program and erase operations. Its 90 nm floating gate process ensures stable operation across −40 °C to +105 °C (Industrial Plus grade).
The device uses a 4–6 signal interface (CS#, SCK, IO0–IO3), where IO0/IO1 serve dual-role data lines and IO2/IO3 double as WP#/HOLD# - with QIO mode disabling WP#/HOLD# functionality. Security includes three 256-byte OTP-protected security registers and 8-byte unique ID per unit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (2 Mbyte) - sufficient for boot code, firmware images, and configuration data in space-constrained MCU systems. |
| Interface | SPI Multi-I/O (SIO/DIO/QIO) - reduces pin count vs parallel NOR while delivering up to 54 MB/s quad-read throughput. |
| Read Speed | Quad Read at 108 MHz - enables efficient XIP execution with ≤54 MB/s continuous transfer rate at 85°C/105°C. |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 4 kB sectors and 64 kB blocks - allows fine-grained firmware updates without disturbing adjacent functional sections. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100K program-erase cycles / 20-year data retention - meets long-life requirements for industrial and automotive ECUs. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.6 V. |
| Temperature Range | −40 °C to +105 °C (Industrial Plus) - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (208 mil), package code SOC008 - surface-mount, industry-standard footprint with 1.27 mm pitch, suitable for reflow assembly and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable for command initiation; must be held low for full command duration including address and data phases. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Drives all timing for SPI transactions; supports modes 0 and 3 (CPOL=0/1, CPHA=0/1) for host compatibility. |
| IO0 (SI) | Serial Input / I/O Line 0 | Primary data input in SIO mode; bidirectional in DIO/QIO; carries instruction, address, and program data. |
| IO1 (SO) | Serial Output / I/O Line 1 | Primary data output in SIO mode; bidirectional in DIO/QIO; returns read data and status register contents. |
| IO2 (WP#) | Write Protect Input / I/O Line 2 | Hardware-level write lock when pulled low; disabled in QIO mode; complements software-based protection bits. |
| IO3 (HOLD#) | Hold Input / I/O Line 3 | Suspends ongoing command (read/program/erase) mid-execution; resumes on next SCK edge after deassertion. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; requires local 100 nF decoupling near pin. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power reference; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Read (QIO) Mode | 54 MB/s sustained throughput - eliminates bottleneck for XIP execution in Cortex-M4/M7 microcontrollers. |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Interruptible page program and sector/block erase - enables real-time response to host priority commands. |
| Security Registers | Three 256-byte OTP-protected regions - store cryptographic keys, calibration data, or device-specific credentials. |
| Continuous & Wrapped Read | Low-overhead random access (8-cycle overhead) and cache-line fill - optimizes CPU instruction fetch efficiency. |
| Variable Read Latency | Configurable dummy cycles - balances initial access time vs maximum clock frequency for system timing closure. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL064L0XNFA010 | 64 Mbit density, 133 MHz Quad Read, 2.7–3.6 V, same SOIC-208 package, supports octal DTR mode | Higher capacity and speed; required for larger firmware images or future-proofing | Select when migrating new designs - Cypress' official replacement with extended feature set and active production status. |
| MX25L1606EM2I-12G | 16 Mbit, 85 MHz Quad Read, 2.7–3.6 V, SOIC-8 (208 mil), no program/erase suspend, no SFDP | Limited command set and no suspend/resume; lacks security registers and variable latency | Acceptable for cost-sensitive legacy replacements where suspend/resume and OTP security are not required. |
Compared with S25FL116K0XNFA010, S25FL064L offers higher density and speed with backward-compatible pinout and command set, while MX25L1606EM2I provides basic SPI flash functionality at lower cost but omits critical features like suspend/resume and OTP security - making it suitable only for non-critical, static firmware storage.

FAQ
Is S25FL116K0XNFA010 recommended for new designs?
No. Cypress explicitly states this part is "Not Recommended for New Design" and recommends migration to S25FL064L. It remains available for legacy support and last-time buys, but no new design-in should use it due to discontinued status and lack of long-term supply assurance.
What does the 'XNFA010' suffix indicate in S25FL116K0XNFA010?
The suffix denotes specific packaging and temperature grade: 'X' = Industrial Plus (−40°C to +105°C), 'N' = 8-lead SOIC (208 mil), 'F' = lead-free/RoHS-compliant, 'A010' = date code and assembly lot identifier per Cypress's internal traceability system.
Can S25FL116K0XNFA010 operate in Quad I/O mode while using WP# or HOLD#?
No. When Quad I/O mode is enabled, IO2 and IO3 are dedicated to data transfer and WP#/HOLD# functionality is disabled. Hardware write protection and hold operations are only available in SIO or DIO modes - a trade-off for achieving 54 MB/s throughput.
Does S25FL116K0XNFA010 support JEDEC-standard SFDP?
Yes. It implements Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) per JEDEC JESD216B, allowing host systems to auto-detect memory geometry, timing parameters, and supported commands without hard-coded configuration - simplifying firmware portability across flash variants.
