Product details
Overview
S25FL256LAGMFB003 from Infineon is a 256-Mbit serial NOR flash memory with quad SPI interface, 3.0 V supply voltage, 133 MHz read clock frequency, and uniform 256-byte programmable pages. It serves as non-volatile code storage in microcontroller boot systems for industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LAGMFB003 datasheet, S25FL256LAGMFB003 pinout, S25FL256LAGMFB003 application, or S25FL256LAGMFB003 equivalent, key selection criteria include read latency, sector erase granularity, write endurance, and WSON-8 package compatibility with PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with Quad I/O (QPI) mode support, enabling up to 532 MB/s effective throughput. It uses stacked-die architecture to achieve 256 Mbit density in a single WSON-8 package while maintaining JEDEC JESD216-compliant SFDP register mapping.
It supports 4-KB and 64-KB erase blocks, configurable reset recovery time (tRST), and hardware write protection via WP# pin. The device includes volatile status register bits for program/erase suspend and busy detection.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (5 mm × 6 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), moisture sensitivity level 3, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC | No-connect | Unused internal bond pad; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| IO0–IO3 | Quad I/O bidirectional data lines | Support standard SPI, dual I/O, and quad I/O modes; require controlled impedance routing |
| CLK | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered timing reference; max 133 MHz; requires clean clock source with <100 ps jitter |
| CS# | Chip select input | Active-low enable; controls device entry into command decode state; must be stable before CLK edge |
| WP# | Write protect input | Hardware lock for status register and sector protection; active-low, pulled high internally |
| HOLD# | Hold input | Pauses ongoing serial transfer without resetting internal address counter; used in multi-master arbitration |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.3 V nominal; requires local 100 nF + 4.7 µF decoupling within 5 mm of pin |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return path; must connect to solid ground plane with multiple vias |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL256SAGMFI000 | Same density and package but rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) vs. −40°C to +85°C | Required for extended-temperature deployments such as outdoor base stations or engine-bay ECUs | Select when ambient operating temperature exceeds 85°C |
| MX25L25645GMI-13G | 256 Mbit density, same WSON-8 package, but supports only dual I/O (not QPI); 104 MHz max clock | Limited to lower-bandwidth boot paths where QPI throughput is not required | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 532 MB/s read bandwidth is unnecessary |
Compared with S25FL256SAGMFI000, this part trades extended temperature rating for lower cost and tighter supply chain availability; compared with MX25L25645GMI-13G, it delivers higher read throughput and QPI flexibility at marginally higher unit price.

FAQ
Is S25FL256LAGMFB003 compatible with legacy SPI controllers?
Yes. It supports standard SPI mode (single I/O) at up to 80 MHz, in addition to dual and quad I/O modes. Command sets are backward-compatible with JEDEC-standard serial flash, allowing integration with existing SPI host drivers without firmware changes.
What is the minimum erase block size supported?
The device supports uniform 4 KB erase blocks, enabling targeted firmware updates without disturbing adjacent code or configuration data. This granularity reduces update time and wear leveling overhead compared to 64 KB-only architectures.
Does it support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes. With its low read latency (<10 µs) and QPI mode, the device supports true XIP execution directly from flash memory by compatible MCUs such as Infineon's XMC4000 or Cypress PSoC 6 families, eliminating need for RAM-based code copying.
How is hardware write protection implemented?
Hardware write protection is controlled by the WP# pin: when asserted low, it locks the status register and all protected sectors. Protection can be configured per 4 KB or 64 KB block using volatile or non-volatile status bits, and remains active during power cycling.
