Product details
Overview
S25FL164K0XMFI003 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 64-Mbit (8 Mbyte), 3.0 V serial NOR flash memory with SPI Multi-I/O interface, supporting Quad Read at 108 MHz (54 MB/s), uniform 4 kB sector and 64 kB block erase, and Execute-In-Place (XIP) capability for embedded code storage in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL164K0XMFI003 datasheet, S25FL164K0XMFI003 pinout, S25FL164K0XMFI003 application, or S25FL164K0XMFI003 equivalent, key selection considerations include quad-mode timing compliance, OTP security register usage, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 temperature support (–40°C to +105°C), and migration path to S25FL064L.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard SPI with configurable clock polarity/phase (modes 0 and 3), supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP), and enables hardware write protection via WP# and suspend/resume control via HOLD#. It uses 90 nm floating gate technology and operates across 2.6 V–3.6 V supply range.
The memory array is organized into 128 uniform 64 kB blocks (8,192 × 4 kB sectors), with three 256-byte one-time-programmable (OTP) security registers, 8-byte unique ID, and non-volatile/volatile configuration options for status register bits controlling protection modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 Mbit (8 Mbyte) - sufficient for boot code, firmware images, and parameter storage in resource-constrained microcontroller systems. |
| Interface | SPI Multi-I/O (SIO/DIO/QIO) - reduces pin count vs parallel NOR while enabling up to 54 MB/s read throughput in quad mode. |
| Max Clock Rate | 108 MHz (–40°C to +105°C) - enables high-speed XIP execution without external cache bottlenecks. |
| 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 controllers and automotive ECUs. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.6 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic rails and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.6 V. |
| Temperature Range | AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) - qualified for under-hood automotive applications requiring extended thermal operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (208 mil), SOIC-8 (SOC008) - surface-mount, industry-standard footprint with 1.27 mm pitch, suitable for automated assembly and thermal cycling reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal; must be asserted before command initiation and held low during full transaction. |
| SCK | Serial Clock Input | Provides timing reference for all SPI transfers; supports modes 0 and 3 (CPOL/CPHA). |
| IO0 (SI) | Serial Data Input / I/O | Primary data input in SIO mode; bidirectional in DIO/QIO modes for multi-bit reads/writes. |
| IO1 (SO) | Serial Data Output / I/O | Primary data output in SIO mode; bidirectional in DIO/QIO modes; used for dual/quad read data lanes. |
| IO2 (WP#) | Write Protect Input / I/O | Hardware-level protection enable; when low, locks status register and memory array against accidental writes/erases. |
| IO3 (HOLD#) | Hold Input / I/O | Pauses ongoing command execution mid-cycle; resumes on deassertion - critical for real-time interrupt handling. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.6–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return path; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling during high-speed reads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Read Mode | 54 MB/s continuous throughput at 108 MHz - eliminates bandwidth bottleneck for XIP in ARM Cortex-M7/M33-based designs. |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Enables background erase interruption and resume - allows time-critical host tasks to preempt flash operations without data loss. |
| Three 256-byte OTP Registers | Immutable storage for keys, calibration data, or device-specific identifiers - prevents tampering post-manufacture. |
| Block Protection Range | Configurable top/bottom protection from 4 kB to full array - supports secure bootloader partitioning and field-upgrade isolation. |
| Unique 8-Byte ID | Factory-programmed per-device identifier - enables traceability, anti-cloning, and secure provisioning in production lines. |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Boot Memory | Industrial PLC Firmware Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stores boot loader and safety-critical firmware in engine control units requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile code storage with XIP support and hardware write protection to prevent runtime corruption.

Use Scenario: Stores metrology calibration constants and tariff tables in ANSI C12.22-compliant smart electricity meters deployed outdoors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Temperature-stable memory with –40°C to +105°C operation and deep-power-down current (2 µA) for battery backup. Use Value: Low standby current extends 10-year lithium battery life; sector protection prevents unauthorized tariff modification. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL064L0XMFI001 | Successor generation; 64 Mbit, 133 MHz Quad Read (66.5 MB/s), 65 nm process, enhanced SFDP v1.6 support. | Requires updated initialization sequence and supports deeper power-down states; not pin-compatible with SOIC-8 (uses WSON-8). | Select for new designs requiring higher speed, lower power, and future-proof SFDP compatibility. |
| MX25L6433FZNI-10G | 64 Mbit, 104 MHz Quad Read (52 MB/s), 1.8 V/3.3 V dual supply, no OTP security registers. | Lacks hardware-based security features; supports only standard JEDEC ID, no unique device ID or pointer-based protection. | Choose where cost sensitivity outweighs security needs and AEC-Q100 qualification is not required. |
Compared with S25FL164K0XMFI003, S25FL064L offers higher performance and modern SFDP but requires PCB redesign, while MX25L6433F provides cost-effective capacity at the expense of automotive qualification and integrated security.
