Product details
Overview
S25FL164K0XMFV013 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 100K program-erase cycles. It operates across –40 °C to +105 °C (Industrial Plus), features three 256-byte OTP security registers, and enables Execute-In-Place (XIP) in embedded boot code storage applications.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL164K0XMFV013 datasheet, S25FL164K0XMFV013 pinout, S25FL164K0XMFV013 application, or S25FL164K0XMFV013 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad-mode read throughput, hardware/software write protection granularity, SFDP compliance, temperature-grade validation, and migration path to S25FL064L for new designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a 90 nm floating-gate NOR architecture with SPI-MIO (Single/Dual/Quad I/O) command set compatibility to legacy S25FL-K families. It supports JEDEC JESD216B SFDP for auto-configurable read latency and mode settings, and includes dedicated IO2 (WP#) and IO3 (HOLD#) pins for hardware-based protection and command suspension.
Memory organization comprises 128 uniform 64 kB blocks (8192 × 4 kB sectors), with non-volatile and volatile status register control, pointer-based block protection (S25FL132K/S25FL164K only), and an 8-byte unique ID per die. All erase and program operations support suspend/resume functionality.

Applications
| Boot Code Storage | Firmware Update Partition |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing primary bootloader and application image for ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V MCUs requiring fast XIP execution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile code storage with deterministic 108 MHz Quad Read access and low-latency continuous read mode. Use Value: Eliminates external RAM copy step; reduces BOM count by replacing parallel NOR while maintaining <100 ns effective access time. | Use Scenario: Dedicated 2 MB partition for over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates in industrial gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Field-upgradable storage with atomic 64 kB block erase and suspend/resume during network interruption. Use Value: Enables safe dual-bank update without system reset; 100K endurance supports >5 years of quarterly updates. |
| Secure Configuration Storage | Real-Time OS Kernel Image |
Use Scenario: Holding cryptographic keys, device certificates, and factory-calibrated sensor offsets in medical IoT endpoints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Tamper-resistant storage using OTP registers and hardware WP#/HOLD# signal isolation. Use Value: Prevents unauthorized key extraction via voltage glitch or bus snooping; meets IEC 62443-3-3 SL2 requirements. | Use Scenario: Hosting RTOS kernel binary (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) with deterministic interrupt latency in motor control drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-jitter instruction fetch source with wrapped read mode for cache-line-aligned instruction refill. Use Value: Guarantees <5 µs worst-case instruction fetch stall; avoids RAM contention in time-critical servo loops. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL064L0XMFI000 | Successor family; 64 Mbit, 133 MHz Quad Read (66.5 MB/s), 256 KB uniform blocks, 200K endurance | Supports higher clock rates and larger erase blocks; lacks HOLD#/WP# dual-function pins in same package | Select for new designs requiring extended lifecycle support and higher throughput; requires layout revision for pin mapping |
| MX25L6433FZNI-10G | 64 Mbit, 104 MHz Quad Read (52 MB/s), 4 kB/64 kB erase, 100K endurance, different SFDP layout | Compatible pinout in SOIC-8; no pointer-based protection; uses standard BPx bits instead | Select for drop-in replacement where OTP security and suspend/resume are not required; verify SFDP parser compatibility |
Compared with S25FL164K0XMFV013, S25FL064L offers higher speed and longer lifecycle but requires redesign, while MX25L6433F provides mechanical compatibility with reduced feature depth-making the former ideal for future-proofing and the latter for minimal-risk legacy refresh.
Availability
S25FL164K0XMFV013 is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for industrial boot code storage, firmware update partitions, secure configuration storage, and real-time OS kernel image hosting requiring stable component supply despite end-of-life status.

Manufacturer
Cypress Semiconductor (now part of Infineon Technologies) designs high-reliability 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 SPI flash with XIP capability, robust security, and extended temperature operation-targeting applications where legacy parallel NOR was over-provisioned but standard serial flash lacked performance or protection features.
FAQ
Is S25FL164K0XMFV013 still in production?
No-this part is Not Recommended for New Design (NRND) and has been retired by Infineon. It remains available through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics' legacy inventory with full traceability, but no new wafer starts are planned. Customers should migrate to S25FL064L for long-term supply assurance.
What does 'XMFV013' in the part number indicate?
The suffix 'XMFV013' specifies an 8-lead SOIC (208 mil) package (X), industrial-plus temperature grade (–40 °C to +105 °C) (M), lead-free and RoHS-compliant (F), tape-and-reel packaging (V), and revision level 013 (013). This matches the SOC008 footprint and is distinct from the 16-lead SOIC or WSON variants in the same family.
Can S25FL164K0XMFV013 support Execute-In-Place (XIP) reliably?
Yes-its 108 MHz Quad Read mode delivers 54 MB/s sustained throughput and supports continuous/wrapped read modes with configurable dummy cycles (via SFDP), enabling deterministic instruction fetch latency. Verified XIP operation is documented for ARM Cortex-M4/M7 and RISC-V cores with appropriate cache and prefetch settings.
How does the pointer-based block protection differ from standard BP bits?
Unlike fixed BP0–BP2 bits that protect predefined top/bottom regions, pointer-based protection uses two status register bytes to define a dynamic 4 kB–full-memory range. This allows runtime reconfiguration of protected zones (e.g., locking only the bootloader sector while leaving application space writable), enhancing flexibility in field-upgrade scenarios.
