Product details
Overview
S25FL256LDPNFV010 from Infineon Technologies is a 256-Mbit serial NOR flash memory with quad SPI interface, 1.8 V supply voltage, 133 MHz read clock frequency, and uniform 4-KB sector erase capability. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring fast boot code execution.
For engineers reviewing the S25FL256LDPNFV010 datasheet, S25FL256LDPNFV010 pinout, S25FL256LDPNFV010 application, or S25FL256LDPNFV010 equivalent, key selection criteria include quad I/O read throughput, sector protection granularity, write suspend/resume support, and industrial temperature range operation.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with extended quad I/O mode for high-speed data transfer. It supports both single- and quad-I/O read commands, with configurable dummy cycles and latency tuning for optimal timing alignment in host systems.
Internal architecture includes a 256-Mbit array organized as 512 uniform 4-KB sectors, with hardware-based write protection via WP# pin and software-controlled block protection registers. Erase suspend/resume enables background operations during active reads.
Key Specifications

| Interface | Quad SPI (x4 I/O), enabling up to 532 MB/s effective read bandwidth at 133 MHz clock |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7–1.95 V, compatible with low-power 1.8 V system rails and reducing I/O power consumption |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 4-KB sectors, allowing fine-grained firmware updates without disturbing adjacent code sections |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C, qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Write Cycle Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector, supporting field-upgradable firmware over product lifetime |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (208-mil) package with standard SPI pin assignment and no exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SO/IO1 | Serial Output / Quad I/O Line 1 | Bi-directional data line used for output during read and input during program/erase in quad mode |
| SI/IO0 | Serial Input / Quad I/O Line 0 | Input-only during standard SPI; becomes bi-directional I/O0 in quad mode for address/data transfer |
| WP#/IO2 | Write Protect / Quad I/O Line 2 | Hardware write protection when pulled low; functions as IO2 in quad I/O commands |
| HOLD#/IO3 | Hold Input / Quad I/O Line 3 | Pauses ongoing serial communication; serves as IO3 in quad mode for parallel data access |
| CLK | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all SPI transactions; supports up to 133 MHz frequency |
| CS# | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable signal initiating all device operations; required for command decoding and bus arbitration |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8 V core and I/O supply; decoupling capacitor placement critical for stable high-speed read performance |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and I/O signals; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad I/O Read Mode | Enables 4-bit-per-clock data transfer, doubling bandwidth versus dual I/O and quadrupling versus standard SPI |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Allows interrupting a sector erase or page program to service a high-priority read request, improving real-time responsiveness |
| Security Register Lock | One-time programmable lock bit prevents modification of security registers containing unique ID and protection settings |
| Individual Sector Protection | Software-configurable lock bits per 4-KB sector enable selective write protection for bootloader, config, and application regions |

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 | 3.0 V supply range, same density and quad SPI interface, but lacks reset pin and has different sector protection scheme | Targeted at legacy 3.3 V industrial systems; not suitable for 1.8 V rail designs | Select only if system uses 3.0–3.6 V supply and does not require hardware reset functionality |
| MX25L25645GMI-10G | 1.8 V operation and quad SPI, but rated only to +85°C and offers no program/erase suspend feature | Applicable in commercial-temperature consumer electronics, not industrial or automotive deployments | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where suspend/resume is unnecessary |
Compared with S25FL256SAGMFV000 and MX25L25645GMI-10G, the S25FL256LDPNFV010 uniquely combines 1.8 V operation, industrial temperature range, hardware reset, and program/erase suspend-critical for real-time embedded systems requiring robust field updates and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported in quad I/O read mode?
The S25FL256LDPNFV010 supports up to 133 MHz in quad I/O read mode, delivering up to 532 MB/s effective throughput. This frequency is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and requires proper PCB layout with matched trace lengths and controlled impedance.
Does this device support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, the S25FL256LDPNFV010 supports XIP mode via its continuous read command with wrap-around addressing. Host processors can directly fetch instructions from flash without copying to RAM, reducing boot latency and memory footprint in space-constrained designs.
How is sector protection configured-hardware or software?
Sector protection is configurable via both hardware and software methods: the WP# pin provides global write protection when asserted, while software commands set individual 4-KB sector lock bits stored in volatile and nonvolatile registers, enabling flexible, granular firmware partitioning.
Is there a dedicated reset pin, and what is its function?
Yes, the RESET# pin provides hardware-initiated device reset independent of chip select deassertion. It restores internal state machines, clears status registers, and resets command sequences-essential for recovery after brown-out or watchdog timeout events in safety-critical systems.
