Product details
Overview
S25FS256SAGMFV000 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 S25FS256SAGMFV000 datasheet, S25FS256SAGMFV000 pinout, S25FS256SAGMFV000 application, or S25FS256SAGMFV000 equivalent, key selection criteria include 133 MHz Fast Read speed (66 MBps), 256-byte/512-byte page programming, 100,000 program-erase cycles, AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification, and BGA-24 (FAB024) package compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements Infineon's Eclipse architecture with 65-nm MIRRORBIT™ technology, enabling high-density, low-voltage operation at 1.7–2.0 V. It supports both SDR and DDR SPI protocols across clock polarity modes 0 and 3, with configurable 24-/32-bit addressing and burst wrap or XIP continuous read modes.
The flash integrates dual-sector erase architectures: hybrid (eight 4-KB + one 32-KB or 224-KB sectors) and uniform (64-KB or 256-KB blocks), plus OTP array (1024 bytes), hardware/software block protection, and password-controlled Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) for secure firmware storage.

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 S25FS256TAFMFI000 | Same density, 3.0 V supply, SOIC-16 package only - no BGA option or DDR support | Requires level-shifting in 1.8 V systems; unsuitable for space-constrained BGA-only designs | Select when legacy 3.0 V infrastructure exists and DDR performance is not required |
| Winbond W25Q256JWEIQ | 256 Mb, 1.8 V, QPI mode supported, but no hardware ECC or ASP; 64-KB uniform sectors only | Lacks secure sector locking and error correction - requires external SW ECC or failsafe update logic | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where security and endurance are secondary |
Compared with S25FS256SAGMFV000, the Cypress alternative trades DDR performance and BGA packaging for 3.0 V compatibility, while the Winbond part omits hardware ECC and ASP-increasing firmware validation burden and reducing field reliability in mission-critical deployments.

FAQ
Is S25FS256SAGMFV000 pin-compatible with earlier S25FL-S series devices?
Yes - it maintains identical pinout and command set compatibility with S25FL-S devices in SOIC-16 and BGA-24 packages, including identical CS#, SCK, IO0–IO3, WP#, and RESET# signal mapping and timing behavior per JEDEC JESD216.
Does this device support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes - it supports continuous read mode with wrap-around addressing, enabling true XIP execution from flash without copying to RAM, verified across all supported read commands including Quad I/O and DDR Quad I/O up to 133 MHz SDR clock rate.
What is the purpose of the IO3/RESET# pin in normal operation?
In standard operation, IO3 functions as the active-low RESET# input. It can be reconfigured as a fourth I/O line (IO3) only after issuing the Enable Reset Disable (ERDSR) command and setting the appropriate status register bit - default power-up state is RESET#.
How is the 1024-byte OTP array physically implemented and protected?
The OTP array resides in a dedicated silicon region outside main flash array, permanently programmed via high-voltage pulse. Once locked via Status Register bit SRP0/SRP1, it becomes read-only and immune to erase or program commands - verified by Infineon's secure silicon certification process.
