Infineon Technologies S25FL512SAGBHVC13

Overview

S25FL512SAGBHVC13 from Infineon is a 512 Mb (64 MB) serial NOR flash memory with SPI Multi-I/O interface, 3.0 V core supply, uniform 256-KB sectors, Quad-Input Page Programming, and hardware ECC. It supports Fast/Quad/DDR read modes up to 80 MHz DDR clock (80 MBps Quad Read DDR) and operates across industrial (–40°C to +85°C) and automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) temperature ranges. Used in boot code storage for microcontrollers in automotive infotainment systems.

For engineers reviewing the S25FL512SAGBHVC13 datasheet, S25FL512SAGBHVC13 pinout, S25FL512SAGBHVC13 application, or S25FL512SAGBHVC13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Quad DDR read throughput, 100,000 program-erase cycles, OTP security array, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, and SO16/FBGA package compatibility with legacy S25FL-P designs.

Technical Context

This device implements Infineon's 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ technology with Eclipse™ architecture, enabling high-density NOR flash with deterministic latency and robust data retention. Its dual-voltage I/O (VIO = 1.65–3.6 V, VCC = 2.7–3.6 V) supports mixed-signal SoC interfacing while maintaining full command set compatibility with S25FL-A/K/P families.

The logic block includes dedicated SRAM latch buffers for 512-byte page programming, on-the-fly hardware ECC generation/correction, and configurable AutoBoot execution from preselected addresses at power-up or reset-critical for fail-safe boot recovery in automotive ECUs.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported in DDR mode?

The S25FL512SAGBHVC13 supports up to 80 MHz DDR clock frequency, delivering 80 MBps Quad Read DDR throughput when VIO = VCC = 3.0–3.6 V. This is validated per datasheet Rev. *U Table 3-1 and requires strict AC timing compliance for setup/hold on DQ lines relative to SCK edges.

Does this part require external hardware ECC circuitry?

No. The device integrates on-die hardware ECC capable of detecting and correcting single-bit errors during read operations without CPU or external logic involvement. ECC is always enabled and transparent to the host controller-no configuration or software driver support is needed.

Is the SOIC package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes. The S25FL512SAGBHVC13 in 16-pin SOIC (300 mil) packaging is fully RoHS-compliant and Pb-free, as confirmed in Infineon's official packaging documentation (document number 002-10247) and marked with "Pb-free" and "RoHS" identifiers on the reel label and top-side marking.

Can this flash be used with a 1.8 V host controller?

Yes. The device supports VIO = 1.65–2.7 V, enabling direct interface with 1.8 V hosts. In this configuration, maximum Quad Read speed drops to 33 MBps (66 MHz clock), but all commands-including AutoBoot and ASP-remain fully functional without level-shifting circuitry.
