Product details
Overview
S25FL256LDPBHN023 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 in microcontroller boot systems requiring XIP execution or firmware update capability.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LDPBHN023 datasheet, S25FL256LDPBHN023 pinout, S25FL256LDPBHN023 application, or S25FL256LDPBHN023 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad-read throughput (66 MB/s), security region protection (four 256-byte regions), page programming buffer size (256 bytes), and compatibility with legacy S25FL-P/S families.
Technical Context
This device implements a floating-gate 65 nm process architecture with a dedicated Page Programming Buffer enabling 256-byte atomic writes. Its command set supports both legacy SPI single-I/O and extended Dual/Quad I/O protocols-including DDR-capable Quad Read at 66 MHz-while maintaining footprint compatibility with prior S25FL-P and S25FL-S families.
Erase operations are fully uniform across 4 KB sectors, 32 KB half-blocks, and 64 KB blocks, with suspend/resume capability for both program and erase. Security is enforced via configurable Status/Configuration Register locks, volatile/non-volatile block locking, and power-supply lock-down of Security Regions 2–3 and the Pointer Region.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL256SAGMFV000 | Same density and package; FL-S family, 90 nm process, no DDR support, lower max read rate (52 MB/s) | Lacks DDR and QPI; suitable only where legacy timing margins or cost sensitivity outweigh bandwidth needs | Select if board layout rework is prohibited and DDR/QPI features are unused |
| MX25L25645GMI-10G | Micron-compatible pinout; 32 MB density; supports DTR Quad but no SFDP; 64 KB erase only | No 4 KB sector erase; no security regions; requires custom driver for non-standard command set | Choose only for cost-driven consumer designs where security and fine-grained erase are unnecessary |
Compared with S25FL256SAGMFV000 and MX25L25645GMI-10G, the S25FL256LDPBHN023 uniquely combines DDR-enabled throughput, SFDP auto-configuration, 4 KB erase granularity, and four hardware-isolated security regions-making it optimal for safety-aware, upgradable embedded systems.

FAQ
Does S25FL256LDPBHN023 support Execute-in-Place (XIP) operation?
Yes. The device supports continuous read mode (XIP) with burst wrap addressing, enabling direct code execution from flash without copying to RAM. This is enabled via Fast Read or Quad Read commands and requires host controller support for sustained address incrementing and latency tolerance.
What is the function of the IO3/RESET# pin in Quad I/O mode?
In Quad I/O mode (CR1V[1] = 1), IO3/RESET# operates as the fourth bidirectional data line (IO3). When CR1V[1] = 0 and CR2V[7] = 1, it functions as an active-low hardware reset input. The internal pull-up allows leaving it unconnected if unused, eliminating need for external biasing.
How does the 4 KB sector erase improve firmware update reliability?
Uniform 4 KB sector erase enables atomic firmware patching: each update fits within one sector, allowing verification before erase and rollback on failure. Combined with program/erase suspend, it permits real-time interrupt handling during background erase-critical for deterministic response in industrial control loops.
Can Security Regions 2 and 3 be permanently locked against modification?
Yes. Using Power Supply Lock-down mode with password entry, Security Regions 2 and 3-and the Pointer Region-can be made permanently non-volatile and unalterable. Once locked, no subsequent command (including WRR or WRAR) can modify their contents or protection state, even after power cycle.
