Product details
Overview
S25FL256LDPMFN000 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/data storage in microcontroller boot loaders and embedded firmware images.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LDPMFN000 datasheet, S25FL256LDPMFN000 pinout, S25FL256LDPMFN000 application, or S25FL256LDPMFN000 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad read throughput (66 MB/s), SFDP support for auto-configuration, security region protection, suspend/resume erase/program capability, and compatibility with legacy S25FL-P/S families.
Technical Context
This device implements a 65 nm floating gate architecture with a 256-byte page programming buffer and uniform erase granularity across 4 KB sectors, 32 KB half-blocks, and 64 KB blocks. It supports JEDEC JESD216B SFDP for runtime parameter discovery and configurable protection via status/configuration registers.
Hardware reset (RESET#) and dual-function I/O pins (IO0–IO3) enable mode-selectable operation: standard SPI, Dual I/O, Quad I/O, or QPI - with DDR variants doubling data rate on clock edges. Power supply lock-down and password-protected security regions (four × 256 B) provide tamper-resistant firmware storage.
Key Specifications

Use Value: Guarantees 100,000+ write cycles at 85°C ambient - exceeds typical HMI lifecycle requirements. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S25FL256LDPNFM000 | Same die, WSON-8 (6×8 mm) package instead of SOIC-16; 20% smaller footprint | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; requires different land pattern and thermal relief | Select for compact designs where board area is critical and rework access is limited |
| MX25L25645GMI-10G | Macronix part; 256 Mbit, 3V, SOIC-16; lacks DDR read mode and SFDP v1.6 support | No native QPI or DDR; lower max read speed (52 MB/s); no suspend/resume for erase | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs advanced features and legacy SPI-only host interface exists |
Compared with S25FL256LDPNFM000 and MX25L25645GMI-10G, the S25FL256LDPMFN000 offers superior flexibility via QPI/DDR modes and robust field-upgrade safety through suspend/resume and dedicated security regions - making it optimal for next-generation secure embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported in Quad I/O SDR mode?
The S25FL256LDPMFN000 supports up to 133 MHz in Quad I/O SDR mode, delivering 66 MB/s read throughput. This is confirmed in the Performance Summary table (Page 2) and AC Characteristics section (Page 33) of the official datasheet. The device maintains timing compliance across the full industrial temperature range without derating.
Does this part support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, the S25FL256LDPMFN000 supports XIP via Continuous Read mode with burst wrap, allowing direct code execution from flash without copying to RAM. This capability is explicitly stated in Section 1.1 and enabled by fast Quad Read and low-latency command sequencing - verified in Application Note AN98564.
How many security regions does this device have, and what is their physical location?
The device contains four independent 256-byte security regions located outside the main flash array address space, starting at 0x00000000 in the Security Regions Address Space (Section 7.5). Each region can be individually locked via volatile/non-volatile protection bits and is accessible only through dedicated security commands (Section 9.7).
Is the SOIC-16 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the S25FL256LDPMFN000 uses a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 16-pin SOIC 300 mil package, as stated in the "Packages" section (Page 1) and confirmed in the Ordering Information table (Page 141). The part marking "DPMFN" denotes the SOIC-16 variant with green molding compound and matte tin lead finish.
