Product details
Overview
S25FS256SAGMFM001 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 in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the S25FS256SAGMFM001 datasheet, S25FS256SAGMFM001 pinout, S25FS256SAGMFM001 application, or S25FS256SAGMFM001 equivalent, key selection criteria include 133 MHz fast read rate, 80 MBps DDR Quad I/O throughput, 100,000 program-erase cycles, 20-year data retention, and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for automotive firmware storage.
Technical Context
This device implements SPI-MIO (Multi-Input/Output) with support for standard SPI modes 0/3, Dual/Quad I/O, and DDR Quad I/O command sets. Its Eclipse architecture with 65-nm MIRRORBIT™ technology enables burst wrap and continuous XIP read modes alongside SFDP v1.6 and CFI compliance for automatic configuration discovery.
The flash integrates on-die ECC for single-bit correction and supports both hybrid sector erase (eight 4-KB + one 32-KB or 224-KB sectors) and uniform 64-KB/256-KB block erase. Erase suspend/resume and program suspend/resume are implemented at the embedded algorithm level.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress S25FS256SAGNFM001 | Same die, identical electrical specs, but WSON-8 (6×5 mm) package - no BGA thermal pad | Limited to lower-power, space-constrained consumer IoT nodes; unsuitable for thermally demanding industrial enclosures | Select when board area is critical and thermal load < 150 mW; avoid for continuous Quad DDR operation above 70°C ambient |
| Winbond W25Q256JWSIQ | 256 Mb, 1.8 V, but no DDR mode; max 133 MHz Quad I/O = 66 MBps; no integrated ECC | Requires host-side ECC implementation and lacks DDR timing margin for high-throughput XIP | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth and reliability requirements; verify host driver support for external ECC |

FAQ
What is the function of the IO3/RESET# pin on S25FS256SAGMFM001?
The IO3/RESET# pin serves dual functions: as IO3 in Quad I/O and DDR Quad I/O modes, and as an active-low hardware reset input that forces the device into default SPI mode and clears internal state. When used as RESET#, it must be pulled high via 4.7 kΩ resistor; asserting it low halts ongoing operations and resets command logic without powering down the device.
Does S25FS256SAGMFM001 support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, S25FS256SAGMFM001 supports continuous XIP mode using Quad I/O or DDR Quad I/O commands, enabling direct code execution from flash without copying to RAM. This requires MCU SPI controller support for wrap-around burst reads and proper cache coherency handling; XIP latency is 8 ns initial access + 6.25 ns per byte at 133 MHz.
How is the 1024-byte OTP array protected against accidental overwrite?
The OTP array is protected by a dedicated One-Time Program Lock bit in the Configuration Register. Once set, this bit permanently disables all program and erase commands to the OTP region. Programming requires issuing the Write Enable command followed by the Program OTP command with correct password; no hardware fuse is involved-protection is register-based and irreversible.
Can S25FS256SAGMFM001 operate at 1.7 V while maintaining full 133 MHz Quad I/O performance?
Yes, S25FS256SAGMFM001 guarantees full specification compliance-including 133 MHz Quad I/O read, 512-byte page programming, and 64-KB sector erase-at 1.7 V minimum supply voltage across the full industrial temperature range. DC and AC characteristics are fully characterized at 1.7 V, with no derating required for timing or endurance parameters.
