Product details
Overview
S25FL116K0XNFI010 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 and 64-kB block erase, 100K program-erase cycles, 20-year data retention, and hardware/software write protection. Used in embedded boot code storage and firmware update storage for industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL116K0XNFI010 datasheet, S25FL116K0XNFI010 pinout, S25FL116K0XNFI010 application, or S25FL116K0XNFI010 equivalent, key selection considerations include quad-mode timing compliance, SOIC-8 (208 mil) package compatibility, industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +105 °C), 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. It uses 90 nm floating gate technology and operates across 2.6 V–3.6 V supply with dual/quad I/O modes enabled via status register bits.
The device integrates three 256-byte one-time-programmable (OTP) security registers, 8-byte unique ID, and flexible protection schemes including top/bottom block lock, software command lock-down, and hardware WP#/HOLD# inputs - all configurable per application security requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (2 Mbyte) - sufficient for compact boot loaders and firmware images in space-constrained MCU applications. |
| Interface | SPI Multi-I/O (SIO/DIO/QIO) - reduces pin count vs parallel NOR while enabling 54 MB/s read throughput in quad mode. |
| Max Clock Rate | 108 MHz (–40 °C to +105 °C) - enables high-speed XIP and cache-line refill without external buffering. |
| Erase Granularity | 4 kB sectors / 64 kB blocks - balances fine-grained firmware patching with efficient bulk updates. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100K program-erase cycles / 20-year data retention - meets long-life requirements for industrial field-deployed devices. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.6 V–3.6 V - compatible with 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) - validated for extended thermal operation in enclosed control cabinets. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (208 mil), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable for SPI command initiation; must be held low for full command duration including dummy cycles. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered clock up to 108 MHz; phase/polarity modes 0 and 3 supported for host controller compatibility. |
| IO0 (SI) | Serial Data Input / I/O | Primary data line for instruction/address input and single/dual/quad read output; bidirectional in multi-I/O modes. |
| IO1 (SO) | Serial Data Output / I/O | Output-only in SIO mode; used as second data lane in DIO/QIO; tri-stated when not active. |
| IO2 (WP#) | Write Protect Input / I/O | Hardware-level write lock; active-low signal that overrides software protection when asserted during power-up or operation. |
| IO3 (HOLD#) | Command Hold Input / I/O | Pauses ongoing read/program/erase operations mid-command; resumes on deassertion without restart overhead. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.6–3.6 V supply; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin for stable high-speed operation. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and core ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Read Mode | 54 MB/s sustained throughput at 108 MHz - eliminates bottleneck for XIP execution in Cortex-M4/M7-based controllers. |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Interruptible page program or sector erase - enables real-time response to host commands without timeout risk. |
| Security Registers | Three 256-byte OTP regions - store cryptographic keys, calibration data, or device-specific credentials with permanent write-lock. |
| Continuous/Wrapped Read | 8-cycle access overhead + cache-line auto-wrap - optimizes instruction fetch latency and reduces bus arbitration overhead. |
| JEDEC SFDP Support | Self-describing parameter table at 0x0000000F - enables automatic driver initialization without hard-coded timing constants. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash memory applications.

| MX25L1606EM2I-12G | 16 Mbit, 85 MHz max clock, 2.7 V–3.6 V, no OTP security registers, no wrapped read mode | Lacks hardware security features and advanced read modes; suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-secure applications | Consider only for legacy replacement where security and XIP performance are non-critical. |
Compared with S25FL116K0XNFI010, S25FL064L offers higher density and future-proof SFDP support but requires design review for voltage and timing margins, while MX25L1606EM2I provides basic functionality at lower cost but omits security and performance optimizations essential for industrial use.

Manufacturer
Cypress Semiconductor (now part of Infineon Technologies) is a global leader in embedded systems solutions, specializing in high-reliability memory, PSoC programmable SoCs, and USB-C/power delivery ICs.
The S25FL1-K family was designed for industrial and automotive applications demanding robust SPI flash with security, endurance, and extended temperature operation - bridging the gap between legacy parallel NOR and modern high-speed serial interfaces.
FAQ
Is S25FL116K0XNFI010 recommended for new designs?
No. Cypress explicitly states this part is "Not Recommended for New Design" due to retirement of the S25FL1-K family. The factory-recommended migration path is S25FL064L, which offers higher density, improved speed, updated SFDP compliance, and continued production support. Designers initiating new projects should evaluate S25FL064L or Infineon's current-generation Semper™ NOR flash portfolio.
What package does S25FL116K0XNFI010 use?
S25FL116K0XNFI010 uses an 8-lead SOIC package with 208-mil body width (SOC008 footprint), RoHS-compliant, with standard gull-wing leads. Pin pitch is 1.27 mm, body dimensions are 8.9 mm × 4.0 mm × 1.75 mm, and it is qualified for reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
Does this device support Execute-In-Place (XIP)?
Yes. S25FL116K0XNFI010 supports efficient XIP via Continuous Read Mode (8-clock access overhead) and Wrapped Read Mode for cache-line fills. Combined with Quad Read at 108 MHz, it achieves 54 MB/s throughput - sufficient to sustain Cortex-M7 core instruction fetch without stalling, eliminating need for external RAM shadowing in many applications.
How is write protection implemented?
Write protection is implemented through three independent mechanisms: hardware via WP# pin (active-low, overrides all software locks), software via Status Register bits (BP0–BP2, TB/SEC), and OTP-based lock-down of security registers. Protection granularity covers individual 4-kB sectors or contiguous 64-kB blocks, with top/bottom addressing flexibility for partitioned firmware layouts.
