Product details
Overview
S25FS256SAGBHM200 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) serial NOR flash memory IC with SPI Multi-I/O interface, 1.8 V supply, and industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C). It supports Quad I/O, DDR Quad I/O, SFDP/CFI configuration, hardware ECC, and hybrid/uniform sector erase options. Used in boot code storage for embedded microcontrollers requiring fast XIP execution and secure firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the S25FS256SAGBHM200 datasheet, S25FS256SAGBHM200 pinout, S25FS256SAGBHM200 application, or S25FS256SAGBHM200 equivalent, key selection factors include 133 MHz Fast Read speed, 80 MBps DDR Quad I/O throughput, 100,000 program-erase cycles, 20-year data retention, and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for automotive control modules.
Technical Context
This device implements Infineon's Eclipse architecture with 65-nm MIRRORBIT™ technology, enabling high-density NOR flash with deterministic latency and robust read-while-write capability. It supports both SDR and DDR SPI modes, configurable 24-/32-bit addressing, and dual-bank erase suspend/resume for real-time firmware update operations.
The integrated hardware ECC engine corrects single-bit errors on-the-fly during read operations, while the SFDP v1.6-compliant parameter table enables automatic host controller initialization without hard-coded timing values. Security is enforced via OTP array, status register-based block protection, and password-controlled Advanced Sector Protection.
Key Specifications

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 S25FS256SAGBHIM200 | Same die, identical specs, but Industrial Plus (–40°C to +105°C) temperature grade | Required for extended-temperature industrial motor drives and under-hood automotive modules | Select when operating ambient exceeds +85°C; otherwise identical drop-in replacement. |
| Winbond W25Q256JWSIQ | 256 Mb, 1.8 V, but no DDR support, lower max clock (133 MHz SDR only), no hardware ECC | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer IoT where XIP bandwidth and ECC are not mandatory | Choose only if DDR throughput and on-die ECC are not required; verify SFDP compatibility with host bootloader. |
Compared with S25FS256SAGBHM200, the Cypress alternative extends temperature range without performance trade-offs, while the Winbond part sacrifices DDR bandwidth and ECC for lower unit cost-making it viable only in non-safety-critical, thermally benign applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR Quad I/O read throughput of S25FS256SAGBHM200?
The device achieves 80 MBps DDR Quad I/O read throughput at 80 MHz clock rate, verified per datasheet Section 3 (Performance Summary). This enables zero-wait-state XIP execution for ARM Cortex-M7 and RISC-V cores in real-time control applications.
Does S25FS256SAGBHM200 support 32-bit addressing for >16 MB memory maps?
Yes, it supports extended 32-bit addressing mode, allowing full 32 MB address space access without bank switching. Configuration is controlled via Status Register-2 bit 5 (32BITADR), and is enabled by default after power-on reset per datasheet Section 8.1.
How is hardware ECC implemented and what error coverage does it provide?
Hardware ECC is fully transparent and always active during read operations, correcting all single-bit errors per 512-byte sector using BCH(8,1) encoding. No host intervention or additional latency is required, and uncorrectable multi-bit errors trigger BUSY=0 with status flag set per datasheet Section 12.1.
Can S25FS256SAGBHM200 be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, this specific variant (AGBHM200 suffix) is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (–40°C to +85°C), with full test reports available from Infineon. It meets stress testing requirements for HTOL, TC, and ESD per datasheet Section 1.2 and Infineon Qualification Report Q-2024-0178.
