Product details
Overview
S25FL256LDPBHN020 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Mbit (32 Mbyte) serial NOR flash memory with SPI Multi-I/O interface, supporting SDR/DDR Quad I/O and QPI modes up to 133 MHz clock rate, 66 MB/s read bandwidth, 4 KB uniform sector erase, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It integrates 256-byte page programming buffer, program/erase suspend-resume, and four 256-byte security regions for firmware protection in embedded boot code storage.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LDPBHN020 datasheet, S25FL256LDPBHN020 pinout, S25FL256LDPBHN020 application, or S25FL256LDPBHN020 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad-mode timing compliance, SFDP v1.5 parameter discovery support, security region lock granularity, 2.7–3.6 V single-supply operation, and WSON-8 package compatibility with board-level reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This device implements a floating-gate 65 nm process architecture with dual-bank memory array control logic enabling concurrent read-while-write operations. Its command set supports JEDEC JESD216B-compliant Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP), allowing host systems to auto-configure read latency, dummy cycles, and address width without hard-coded initialization.
The SPI-MIO interface supports mode 0/3 clock polarity-phase, configurable between Single/Dual/Quad I/O and QPI protocols via Configuration Registers CR1V and CR2V. Reset behavior is controlled by CR2V[7], and IO3/RESET# pin function dynamically switches based on QUAD and QPI bit settings - not fixed hardware assignment.

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 pinout, but FL-S family: 90 nm MirrorBit®, no DDR support, slower 104 MHz max QPI clock | Lacks DDR Quad Read; lower endurance (50K cycles); no SFDP v1.5 support | Select only if legacy FL-S ecosystem compatibility required and DDR bandwidth not needed |
| MX25L25645GMI-10G | Macronix 256 Mbit SPI NOR, 104 MHz max QPI, 2.7–3.6 V, SOIC-16 package | Different package (SOIC-16 vs WSON-8); no DDR mode; lacks security regions and SFDP v1.5 | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where WSON footprint is not mandatory and security features are handled externally |
Compared with S25FL256SAGMFI000 and MX25L25645GMI-10G, the S25FL256LDPBHN020 delivers higher bandwidth via DDR Quad I/O, longer data retention, integrated security regions, and standardized SFDP auto-configuration - making it optimal for space-constrained, security-critical embedded systems requiring future-proof firmware update paths.
