Product details
Overview
S25FS256SAGBHI300 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) serial NOR flash memory IC with SPI Multi-I/O interface, 1.8 V supply, industrial-plus temperature range (–40°C to +105°C), and BGA-24 6 × 8 mm package (FAC024 footprint). It supports Quad I/O, DDR Quad I/O read up to 80 MBps, 100,000 program-erase cycles, and hardware ECC for single-bit error correction.
For engineers reviewing the S25FS256SAGBHI300 datasheet, S25FS256SAGBHI300 pinout, S25FS256SAGBHI300 application, or S25FS256SAGBHI300 equivalent, key selection factors include hybrid/uniform sector erase options, SFDP/CFI configuration support, OTP array size (1024 bytes), AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, and compatibility with S25FL-P/S25FL-S families.
Technical Context
This device implements Infineon's Eclipse architecture with 65-nm MIRRORBIT™ technology, enabling high-density nonvolatile storage with deterministic timing for XIP and burst-wrap reads. It supports both SDR and DDR SPI protocols, with configurable 24-/32-bit addressing and full command subset compatibility across FS-S, FL-P, and FL-S families.
The flash integrates dual-sector protection schemes: status-register-based block protection and password-controlled Advanced Sector Protection (ASP), plus dedicated 1024-byte OTP array for secure boot code or calibration data storage. Erase granularity includes 4-KB, 32-KB, 64-KB, 224-KB, and 256-KB physical sectors depending on configuration.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress S25FS256SAGBHI200 | Same die, identical specs, but rated for Industrial (–40°C to +85°C) only - no +105°C rating | Lacks Industrial Plus thermal margin; unsuitable for extended-temperature industrial gateways | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement |
| Winbond W25Q256JWSIQ | 256 Mb, 1.8 V, but uses different command set; no native SFDP v1.6 support; no ASP or OTP array | Requires custom driver adaptation; lacks hardware security features for secure boot | Choose only if legacy Winbond ecosystem integration is mandatory |
Compared with S25FS256SAGBHI300, the S25FS256SAGBHI200 sacrifices thermal margin for lower cost, while the W25Q256JWSIQ requires firmware rework and forfeits OTP/ASP security - making the 300-grade optimal for new designs needing robustness and security.

FAQ
Is S25FS256SAGBHI300 pin-compatible with S25FS128SAGBHI300?
No. The S25FS128SAGBHI300 uses an 8-lead WSON package, while S25FS256SAGBHI300 uses a 24-ball BGA (FAC024). They share command-set compatibility and voltage/temperature specs but differ physically and electrically in I/O drive strength and timing margins.
Does this part support QPI (Quad Peripheral Interface) mode?
Yes. The S25FS256SAGBHI300 supports QPI mode for continuous read operations, enabling higher throughput than standard SPI by using all four I/O lines for address and data transmission after initial command phase.
What is the function of the IO3/RESET# pin in normal operation?
In normal operation, IO3 serves as the fourth I/O line for Quad and DDR Quad I/O commands. When asserted low, it triggers a hardware reset that clears internal state and returns the device to standby mode - independent of CS# deassertion.
Can the OTP array be reprogrammed after initial programming?
No. The 1024-byte OTP array is one-time programmable: bits can only be changed from '1' to '0', and no erase mechanism exists. Once written, contents are permanent and immune to subsequent power cycles or command sequences.
