Product details
Overview
S25FL256LDPBHV030 from Infineon Technologies is a 256-Mbit serial NOR flash memory IC with quad SPI interface, 1.8 V supply voltage, 133 MHz read clock frequency, and uniform 256-byte sector erase capability. It serves as non-volatile program/data storage in industrial microcontroller boot systems.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LDPBHV030 datasheet, S25FL256LDPBHV030 pinout, S25FL256LDPBHV030 application, or S25FL256LDPBHV030 equivalent, key selection criteria include sector architecture compatibility, 1.8 V I/O tolerance, quad SPI command set support, and industrial temperature range operation.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with extended quad I/O (QPI) mode for high-speed data transfer. It supports legacy SPI commands and enhanced quad-read opcodes with dummy cycles aligned to 133 MHz clock timing.
Memory organization consists of 512 uniform sectors of 256 KB each, with no boot-block asymmetry. Write protection is implemented via status register bits and hardware write-protect pin (WP#), enabling selective sector locking during firmware updates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Mbit (32 MB) - sufficient for full MCU boot image plus configuration data in space-constrained designs |
| Interface Type | Quad SPI (QPI) - enables 4-bit parallel data transfers per clock cycle, doubling throughput vs standard SPI |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7–2.0 V - compatible with low-power 1.8 V system rails and reduces I/O power consumption |
| Max Read Clock | 133 MHz - supports fast sequential reads at up to 66.5 MB/s in QPI mode |
| Erase Granularity | 256 KB uniform sectors - simplifies firmware partitioning and eliminates need for block-size translation logic |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for industrial control and motor drive environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), 208-mil width, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SO/IO3 | Serial Output / Quad I/O 3 | Tri-state bidirectional data line used for output in single-SPI mode and input/output in QPI mode |
| SI/IO0 | Serial Input / Quad I/O 0 | Primary data input in single-SPI; active during QPI writes and address phase |
| WP#/IO2 | Write Protect / Quad I/O 2 | Hardware sector lock control; active-low signal that disables write/erase when asserted |
| HOLD#/IO1 | Hold / Quad I/O 1 | Pauses ongoing serial transfer without resetting internal state; essential for multi-master arbitration |
| CLK | Serial Clock | Input-only timing reference; edge-triggered sampling aligns with 133 MHz max frequency spec |
| CS# | Chip Select | Active-low enable; must be deasserted between commands to reset internal command decoder |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8 V nominal supply; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin per JEDEC layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core logic; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad SPI (QPI) Mode | Enables 4-line data bus operation, achieving 532 MB/s effective bandwidth at 133 MHz clock |
| Uniform 256 KB Sectors | Eliminates complex address mapping for firmware update routines and simplifies OTA patch management |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP# pin provides immediate, glitch-immune sector lock independent of software status register settings |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from −40°C to +105°C ensures reliability in PLC backplanes and motor control cabinets |
| 1.8 V Core & I/O | Reduces dynamic power by ~30% versus 3.3 V flash devices while maintaining full command compatibility |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Motor Drive Boot Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing bootloader, real-time OS kernel, and motion control algorithms in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile code execution source mapped directly into MCU's XIP (execute-in-place) address space.

Use Value: WP# pin allows permanent locking of critical boot sectors after factory programming, preventing runtime corruption. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL256SDPBHV030 | Same density and package, but uses 3.0 V supply (2.7–3.6 V) instead of 1.8 V | Requires level shifting when interfaced with 1.8 V MCUs; unsuitable for low-power battery-backed systems | Select only if host system operates at 3.3 V I/O and thermal budget permits higher VCC current draw |
| MX25L25673GZC-13G | 256 Mbit, 1.8 V, but supports only standard SPI (no QPI mode); max clock 104 MHz | Lacks quad interface acceleration; read throughput limited to ~26 MB/s vs 66.5 MB/s in QPI mode | Choose when design prioritizes second-source availability over peak read performance |
Compared with S25FL256SDPBHV030 and MX25L25673GZC-13G, the S25FL256LDPBHV030 uniquely delivers 1.8 V operation with QPI-enabled 133 MHz read speed-critical for deterministic boot timing in resource-constrained industrial controllers.

FAQ
Is S25FL256LDPBHV030 compatible with standard SPI controllers?
Yes, it supports standard SPI mode using SI/IO0 and SO/IO3 pins with single-bit data transfer. All legacy SPI opcodes (e.g., 0x03 Read Data, 0x02 Page Program) are fully implemented. QPI mode is optional and disabled by default after power-on reset.
What is the endurance rating for program/erase cycles?
The device guarantees a minimum of 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector. Endurance is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A117 standard and applies uniformly across all 512 sectors under industrial temperature conditions.
Does it support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, the device supports XIP when connected to MCUs with serial flash controller peripherals capable of generating continuous clock during instruction fetch. Address translation and latency compensation are handled by the host controller, not the flash itself.
How is hardware write protection activated?
Asserting WP# low (≤0.2×VCC) locks all sectors permanently until power cycle. Sector-level protection is also configurable via Status Register bits SRWD, BP0–BP3, but WP# overrides all software-based protection settings.
