Product details
Overview
S25FS256SDSBHM200 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 S25FS256SDSBHM200 datasheet, S25FS256SDSBHM200 pinout, S25FS256SDSBHM200 application, or S25FS256SDSBHM200 equivalent, key selection factors 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) architecture supporting standard SPI modes 0/3 and DDR operation, enabling burst wrap, continuous XIP, and QPI command sets. Its Eclipse-based MIRRORBIT™ 65-nm process delivers deterministic latency and high endurance via on-die ECC and dual-page programming buffers (256/512 bytes).
The flash integrates configurable protection mechanisms including status register block protection, OTP array (1024 bytes), and Advanced Sector Protection with password-controlled read access. Addressing supports both 24-bit and 32-bit modes, with physical sector layouts offering eight 4-KB + one 32-KB or 224-KB sectors plus uniform 64-KB/256-KB blocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 256 Mbit (32 MB) - sufficient for full firmware images and parameter tables in resource-constrained edge devices |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7 V to 2.0 V - compatible with low-voltage SoC I/O domains and reduces system power consumption |
| Read Throughput | 80 MBps DDR Quad I/O - enables near-real-time XIP execution of boot code without external RAM buffering |
| Endurance | 100,000 program-erase cycles - supports field firmware updates over 10+ years in industrial gateways |
| Data Retention | 20 years minimum at +85°C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended infrastructure equipment |
| Erase Options | Hybrid (4-KB/32-KB/224-KB) and uniform (64-KB/256-KB) sectors - simplifies partitioning for bootloader, app, and log regions |
| Security | OTP array (1024 B), ASP with password read control - protects cryptographic keys and vendor-specific configuration |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-ball BGA (FAB024 footprint: 5 × 5 ball array, 0.5 mm pitch, 6 mm × 8 mm body).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS# | Chip Select | Active-low enable for SPI command decoding; supports multi-device daisy-chain or parallel configurations |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Provides timing reference up to 133 MHz SDR or 80 MHz DDR; phase/polarity configurable per SPI mode 0/3 |
| IO0–IO3 | Multi-I/O Data Lines | Bi-directional pins supporting single/dual/quad I/O and DDR protocols; IO2/IO3 double as WP#/RESET# |
| VCC | Core Supply | 1.8 V ±0.1 V input; decoupling required within 5 mm of pad to maintain signal integrity during high-speed reads |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return path; requires dedicated ground plane connection beneath BGA for EMI control |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad - must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DDR Quad I/O Interface | Enables 80 MBps sustained read bandwidth using clock doubling and 4-bit parallel data lanes, reducing boot time by >40% vs. standard SPI |
| On-Die ECC | Hardware-generated Hamming code corrects single-bit errors transparently during read, eliminating need for host-side error correction logic |
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Allows background erase operations to pause for high-priority program commands, critical for real-time logging in PLCs |
| Advanced Sector Protection | Per-sector password enforcement prevents unauthorized read access to secure boot partitions without compromising overall flash performance |
| SFDP/CFI Support | Self-describing configuration registers allow automatic driver initialization across multiple platforms without hard-coded timing parameters |

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 S25FS256SAGNFM000 | Same die, identical pinout and timing; differs only in marking and tape/reel packaging | No functional difference; suitable for drop-in replacement where package form factor matches | Select when sourcing from legacy Cypress distribution channels or requiring specific reel orientation |
| Winbond W25Q256JWSIQ | 256 Mb, 1.8 V, but lacks DDR mode and ASP; uses different SFDP structure and no OTP array | Supports basic Quad I/O boot but not DDR-accelerated XIP or password-protected read security | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where DDR throughput and advanced security are not required |
Compared with S25FS256SDSBHM200, the Cypress alternative offers identical functionality with packaging variance, while the Winbond part trades DDR performance and hardware security for lower unit cost and broader distributor availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported in DDR Quad I/O mode?
The S25FS256SDSBHM200 supports DDR Quad I/O operation at up to 80 MHz clock frequency, delivering 80 MBps effective read bandwidth. This is verified in the datasheet's DDR AC characteristics section (Rev. *O, Table 6.5), with setup/hold timing validated across –40°C to +85°C.
Does this device require external hardware ECC circuitry?
No. The device integrates on-die ECC hardware that automatically generates and checks Hamming codes during all read operations, correcting single-bit errors without host intervention. No external ECC logic or software overhead is needed per the Embedded Algorithm Performance Tables (Section 11).
Can the 1024-byte OTP array be reprogrammed after initial write?
No. The OTP (One-Time Program) array is permanently programmed during manufacturing or first use. Once any byte is written, that location cannot be altered. The datasheet specifies irreversible programming behavior in Section 9.1 and confirms no erase capability exists for OTP cells.
Is the FAB024 BGA package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. All packages for the S25FS256S series, including the FAB024 24-ball BGA, are Pb-free and fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Compliance documentation is available in Infineon's Material Declaration Report #002-00368.
