Product details
Overview
S25FL256LAGBHV030 from Infineon is a 256-Mbit serial NOR flash memory with Quad SPI interface, 3.0 V supply voltage, and 100 MHz clock frequency, supporting XIP (execute-in-place) operation in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LAGBHV030 datasheet, S25FL256LAGBHV030 pinout, S25FL256LAGBHV030 application, or S25FL256LAGBHV030 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), dual/quad I/O mode support, sector-erase capability, and hardware reset protection for safety-critical boot code storage.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with extended quad I/O (QPI) mode for higher throughput. It uses a 64-Mbyte address space organized into 512 uniform 64-Kbyte sectors and supports both 4-Kbyte subsector and full-chip erase commands.
The memory includes a 256-byte page programming buffer, configurable write protection via status register bits and hardware WP# pin, and built-in ECC for single-bit error correction during read operations - all compliant with AEC-Q100 Grade 2 reliability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Mbit (32 Mbyte), sufficient for storing full MCU boot firmware and configuration data in automotive ECUs. |
| Interface | Quad SPI (QPI) and standard SPI, enabling up to 400 MB/s effective throughput in QPI mode. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V, compatible with 3.3 V automotive power rails and tolerant of transient dips. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +105°C, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood and body control modules. |
| Erase Granularity | 64-Kbyte sectors and 4-Kbyte subsectors, allowing fine-grained firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| Write Protection | Hardware WP# pin + software status register lock, preventing accidental overwrites during power transitions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (208 mil) with standard pinout for serial NOR flash devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SO/IO1 | Serial Output / Quad I/O 1 | Output data line in standard SPI; bidirectional I/O in QPI mode for data lane 1. |
| SI/IO0 | Serial Input / Quad I/O 0 | Input data line in standard SPI; bidirectional I/O in QPI mode for data lane 0. |
| WP#/IO2 | Write Protect / Quad I/O 2 | Active-low hardware write protection; bidirectional I/O in QPI mode for data lane 2. |
| HOLD#/IO3 | Hold / Quad I/O 3 | Pauses ongoing serial transfer; bidirectional I/O in QPI mode for data lane 3. |
| CLK | Clock Input | Synchronizes all serial transfers; supports up to 100 MHz for high-speed read/write. |
| CS# | Chip Select | Active-low enable signal; initiates command sequence on rising edge of CS# after clock stabilization. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V nominal supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin for noise immunity. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core logic; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| XIP (Execute-in-Place) | Enables direct code execution from flash without loading into RAM, reducing boot latency and SRAM footprint in microcontrollers. |
| Dual/Quad I/O Mode | Configurable interface scaling: dual I/O doubles, quad I/O quadruples throughput vs standard SPI, optimizing bandwidth-constrained designs. |
| Built-in ECC | Single-bit error correction on read operations ensures data integrity for safety-critical boot images without external logic. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 | Qualified for automotive use at -40°C to +105°C ambient, including HTOL, ESD, and thermal cycling stress testing. |
| Hardware Reset Protection | Internal power-on reset circuit prevents spurious writes during power ramp-up, critical for reliable boot code retention. |
Applications
| Automotive Instrument Cluster | ADAS Camera Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing calibrated display firmware and real-time graphics assets for digital instrument panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile boot and runtime code storage with deterministic read latency for GUI rendering pipelines. Use Value: XIP capability eliminates RAM copy overhead, while AEC-Q100 Grade 2 ensures operation across vehicle cabin temperature extremes. | Use Scenario: Holding image sensor calibration data and firmware for front-facing collision avoidance cameras. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure, tamper-resistant storage for safety-critical vision processing binaries and lookup tables. Use Value: Hardware write protection and ECC prevent corruption of calibration parameters during ECU power cycling or EMI events. |
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Hosting engine management firmware, fault logs, and adaptive learning maps in gasoline/diesel powertrain systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary boot memory with fast random access for real-time control loop initialization and parameter loading. Use Value: 64-Kbyte sector erase enables incremental firmware updates without disrupting engine runtime diagnostics or calibration history. | Use Scenario: Storing lighting control logic, door module configurations, and user preference profiles in centralized body electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Persistent configuration storage with robust write endurance for frequent parameter changes during vehicle personalization. Use Value: Subsector erase (4-Kbyte) allows selective update of individual lighting zones or window control settings without full memory reprogramming. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B104QN-PSOC | 4-Mbit FRAM with unlimited write endurance and no erase cycles; 3.3 V, -40°C to +85°C industrial grade. | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and XIP support; suited for frequent data logging, not boot code. | Select only when write-cycle count dominates reliability concerns and automotive qualification is not required. |
| MX25L25645GZC-10G | 256-Mbit SPI NOR flash, 3.3 V, 100 MHz, but AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (-40°C to +85°C), no built-in ECC. | Lower temperature rating and no on-die ECC limits use to non-safety-critical infotainment subsystems. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive cabin modules where full Grade 2 compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with CY15B104QN-PSOC and MX25L25645GZC-10G, the S25FL256LAGBHV030 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, on-die ECC, and XIP support - making it the only option among the three qualified for ASIL-B–related boot memory in powertrain and ADAS domains.

FAQ
Is S25FL256LAGBHV030 pin-compatible with earlier S25FLxxx generations?
Yes - it maintains identical 8-pin SOIC (208 mil) mechanical footprint and SPI/QPI pin mapping with S25FL128S and S25FL064L, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where density and temperature grade upgrades are needed.
Does this part support octal DDR interface?
No - the S25FL256LAGBHV030 supports only standard SPI, dual I/O, and quad I/O modes. Octal DDR is not implemented; maximum interface speed is 100 MHz in QPI mode with four data lines.
What is the typical endurance and data retention specification?
It guarantees 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector and 20-year data retention at 85°C, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A117 and AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for automotive flash memory.
Can hardware reset protection be disabled?
No - the internal power-on reset circuit is fixed and non-configurable. It automatically asserts reset during VCC ramp-up and release upon stabilization, ensuring consistent initialization behavior without software or external components.
