Infineon Technologies S25FL512SDPBHVC13

Overview

S25FL512SDPBHVC13 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 Read up to 52 MBps, and integrated hardware ECC for single-bit error correction. It operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 16-pin SOIC package and supports AutoBoot for embedded boot code execution.

For engineers reviewing the S25FL512SDPBHVC13 datasheet, S25FL512SDPBHVC13 pinout, S25FL512SDPBHVC13 application, or S25FL512SDPBHVC13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Quad/DDR read performance, 100,000 program-erase cycles, OTP-based security, sector protection granularity, and compatibility with legacy S25FL-A/K/P families.

Technical Context

This device implements Infineon's 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ technology with Eclipse™ architecture, enabling high-density nonvolatile storage with deterministic timing and low-power operation. Its dual-voltage I/O (VIO = 1.65–3.6 V) allows interoperability with 1.8 V and 3.3 V host controllers while maintaining full 512 Mb addressability via 32-bit addressing.

The command set supports both standard SPI modes (0 and 3) and DDR variants, with dedicated AutoBoot functionality that initiates Normal or Quad Read at power-up/reset from a user-configurable address. CFI and JEDEC JESD216 SFDP tables provide standardized configuration discovery for bootloader and firmware update frameworks.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported for DDR read operations?

The S25FL512SDPBHVC13 supports Fast Read DDR, Dual Read DDR, and Quad Read DDR at up to 80 MHz clock frequency, delivering 20 MBps, 40 MBps, and 80 MBps respectively when VIO = VCC = 3.0–3.6 V. DDR timing requires strict setup/hold alignment per AC specification section 5.5 of the datasheet.

Does this part require external hardware ECC circuitry?

No. The device integrates on-die hardware ECC capable of detecting and correcting single-bit errors automatically during read operations. No external circuitry or host CPU intervention is needed - correction occurs transparently within the flash controller logic.

Can the AutoBoot address be reprogrammed in the field?

Yes. The AutoBoot start address is stored in a dedicated configuration register (CR2[7:0]) and can be updated via standard Write Enable + Write Status Register commands. Changes persist across power cycles and do not require OTP programming.

Is the SOIC package RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes. The S25FL512SDPBHVC13 uses a Pb-free, halogen-free SOIC package fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request from Infineon's official documentation portal.
