Product details
Overview
S25FL256LAGMFN001 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Mbit (32 Mbyte) 3.0 V serial NOR flash memory with SPI Multi-I/O interface, supporting SDR/DDR Quad I/O and QPI modes, 4KB uniform sector erase, 100,000 program-erase cycles, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as non-volatile code storage for microcontroller boot code, firmware updates, and XIP execution in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LAGMFN001 datasheet, S25FL256LAGMFN001 pinout, S25FL256LAGMFN001 application, or S25FL256LAGMFN001 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad/dual I/O read bandwidth (66 MBps), page programming buffer size (256 bytes), security region protection granularity (256-byte regions), and compatibility with legacy S25FL-P/S families.
Technical Context
The device implements a floating-gate 65 nm process with Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) support for runtime configuration discovery. Its command set includes suspend/resume for both program and erase operations, enabling real-time host task interruption without data corruption.
It supports three addressing modes (24-bit standard, 32-bit extended), multiple SPI clock polarities/phases (modes 0 and 3), and configurable I/O widths (x1/x2/x4) via dedicated configuration registers (CR1V, CR2V), allowing dynamic interface reconfiguration without hardware change.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL256SAGMFV001 | Same density and package, but FL-S family: 90 nm process, no DDR support, lower Quad Read speed (52 MBps) | Lacks DDR mode and SFDP; requires fixed timing initialization in bootloader | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for DDR bandwidth or future-proof SFDP flexibility |
| MX25L25645GMI-10G | Micron-compatible pinout; 32MB density; supports DTR Quad but no program/erase suspend | No suspend/resume capability limits use in real-time multitasking hosts | Prefer when migrating from existing Macronix-based designs where suspend is not required |
Compared with S25FL256SAGMFV001 and MX25L25645GMI-10G, the S25FL256LAGMFN001 delivers higher bandwidth via DDR Quad I/O, runtime-configurable SFDP, and critical suspend/resume functionality-making it optimal for next-generation embedded systems requiring deterministic flash operation under concurrent host load.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported in DDR Quad I/O mode?
The S25FL256LAGMFN001 supports DDR Quad I/O operation at up to 66 MHz clock frequency, delivering 66 MBps effective read bandwidth. This is confirmed in the Performance Summary section (Page 2) of the official datasheet (Document Number: 002-00124 Rev. *A), where DDR Quad Read is specified at 66 MHz with 66 MBps throughput.
Does this device support hardware write protection independent of software commands?
Yes - the WP# pin provides hardware-level write protection when CR1V[1] = 0 and SR1NV[7] = 1. In this configuration, driving WP# low disables all program/erase commands regardless of status register settings, offering fail-safe protection against accidental writes during power transients or firmware faults.
Can the security regions be used to store cryptographic keys securely?
Yes - the four 256-byte security regions reside outside the main flash array and support independent lock mechanisms including volatile sector lock, non-volatile pointer region control, and permanent password- or power-supply lock-down. These features are explicitly designed for secure key and credential storage per Section 8.1 of the datasheet.
Is the SO3016 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the datasheet states "all Pb-free" packages, and the SO3016 variant (as indicated by the 'G' in the part number suffix) is explicitly certified RoHS-compliant and lead-free per Cypress's ordering information (Page 141) and environmental compliance documentation.
