Product details
Overview
S26KS256SDABHV030 from Infineon Technologies is a 256 Mb (32 MB) HYPERFLASH™ NOR flash memory with HYPERBUS™ DDR interface, 1.8 V I/O, differential clock (CK/CK#), 8-bit data bus (DQ[7:0]), and RWDS read strobe. It delivers 333 MBps sustained read throughput at 166 MHz, supports 256-KB uniform sector erase, and operates across –40°C to +105°C (Industrial Plus grade) in automotive-grade AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the S26KS256SDABHV030 datasheet, S26KS256SDABHV030 pinout, S26KS256SDABHV030 application, or S26KS256SDABHV030 equivalent, key selection criteria include HYPERBUS™ timing compliance (96 ns random access), ECC 1-bit correction/2-bit detection, configurable burst modes (16/32/64-byte wrapped or linear), deep power-down current (4 µA), and RSTO#/INT# interrupt signaling for real-time system control.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous DDR interface using differential clocking (CK/CK#) and center-aligned command/address with edge-aligned read data referenced to RWDS transitions. Its internal MIRRORBIT™ architecture enables parallel half-page access and simultaneous burst output while fetching next page, enabling sustained 333 MBps throughput.
The embedded algorithm controller (EAC) autonomously executes program/erase sequences-including 512-byte buffer programming (475 µs) and 256-KB sector erase (930 ms)-without host intervention. Volatile/non-volatile sector protection, 1024-byte one-time-programmable array, and ISO/TS16949-certified manufacturing support secure firmware storage in safety-critical systems.

FAQ
What voltage levels does S26KS256SDABHV030 support for VCC and VCCQ?
The device uses 1.8 V for both core (VCC) and I/O (VCCQ) supply rails. It is not compatible with 3.0 V I/O operation-only the S26KLxxxS variants support 3.0 V. The 1.8 V requirement enables lower power consumption and higher clock rates up to 166 MHz, consistent with its Industrial Plus temperature rating.
Does S26KS256SDABHV030 require external termination resistors for the differential clock lines?
Yes. Per the datasheet (Section 10, Hardware Interface), 100 Ω differential termination between CK and CK# is mandatory at the memory device side to maintain signal integrity at 166 MHz. The host-side termination is optional but recommended for longer traces or noisy environments to suppress reflections.
How is the RSTO# output configured for different reset pulse durations?
RSTO# pulse width is set via two non-volatile configuration bits (RSTO_WIDTH[1:0]) in the device's status register. Values 00b, 01b, 10b, and 11b correspond to 100 µs, 1 ms, 10 ms, and 100 ms LOW pulses respectively. Configuration is performed using the Write Configuration Register command (0x01) after unlocking protected registers.
Can S26KS256SDABHV030 be used in linear burst mode without pre-fetching overhead?
Yes. In linear burst mode, the device automatically initiates pre-fetch of the next sequential page during active burst output-enabling continuous 333 MBps throughput without host intervention or additional latency. This behavior is inherent to the MIRRORBIT™ architecture and requires no special command sequence beyond setting burst type in the read command.
