Product details
Overview
S26KS256SDGBHN030 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 industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 24-ball FBGA package. Used in automotive ADAS ECUs for fast boot code execution.
For engineers reviewing the S26KS256SDGBHN030 datasheet, S26KS256SDGBHN030 pinout, S26KS256SDGBHN030 application, or S26KS256SDGBHN030 equivalent, key selection criteria include HYPERBUS™ timing compliance, ECC 1-bit correction capability, RWDS-synchronized DDR read latency (96 ns tACC), and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for automotive embedded systems.
Technical Context
The device implements a synchronous DDR interface using differential CK/CK# for precise timing capture and RWDS as a read-data strobe referenced to CK edges. Its internal MIRRORBIT™ architecture enables 16-bit word-aligned addressing and page-based access with 32-byte pages composed of two 16-byte half-pages.
Control logic splits into Host Interface Controller (HIC) for signal monitoring and data transfer coordination, and Embedded Algorithm Controller (EAC) for autonomous execution of program/erase sequences. Burst modes-wrapped (16/32/64 bytes) or linear-are configurable per transaction, with hybrid burst support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Mb (32 MB) - fixed capacity for boot firmware storage in resource-constrained ECUs |
| Interface Protocol | HYPERTBUS™ DDR - low-pin-count 12-signal interface enabling high-speed read without parallel address bus |
| Max Read Throughput | 333 MBps - achieved via dual-edge 8-bit DQ transfers at 166 MHz, eliminating wait states for sequential code fetch |
| Initial Access Latency | 96 ns tACC - deterministic random read delay critical for real-time interrupt response in safety-critical systems |
| ECC Capability | 1-bit correction / 2-bit detection - hardware-implemented error handling reduces host CPU overhead for memory integrity checks |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial) - validated for under-hood ECU deployment without thermal derating |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 P/E cycles / 20-year data retention - meets automotive firmware update and calibration storage requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-ball FBGA (VAA024), 5 × 5 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CK, CK# | Differential clock input | Reference for DDR timing capture; enables jitter-tolerant 166 MHz operation without external PLL |
| CS# | Chip select (active-low) | Enables device communication; HIGH places device in standby (25 µA) or deep power-down (4 µA) |
| RWDS | Read data strobe output | Edge-aligned output indicating valid DQ data during reads; eliminates need for separate RD# signal |
| DQ[7:0] | Bi-directional data bus | Transfers command/address/write-data on rising/falling edges; carries 16-bit words across two consecutive half-cycles |
| INT# | Interrupt output | Asserts on ECC detection or busy-to-ready transition, enabling asynchronous host notification without polling |
| RSTO# | Reset output | User-configurable LOW pulse for system-level power-on reset; decouples memory reset from SoC POR sequencing |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B104QN-SXIT | 4 Mb Quad SPI FRAM; no erase latency, unlimited endurance, but max 40 MBps read speed | Best for frequent small-write logging; unsuitable for high-bandwidth boot code fetch | Select only when write cycle count dominates over read throughput requirements |
| S26KL256SDHBHI020 | Same density and HYPERBUS™ interface but 3.0 V I/O; lower max clock (100 MHz / 200 MBps); no AEC-Q100 grade | Targeted at industrial non-automotive systems with legacy 3.0 V supply rails | Choose only if 3.0 V compatibility is mandatory and 200 MBps read speed suffices |
Compared with CY15B104QN-SXIT and S26KL256SDHBHI020, S26KS256SDGBHN030 uniquely balances automotive-grade reliability, 333 MBps DDR read performance, and hardware ECC-making it the sole option for ASIL-B/C boot memory where both speed and safety certification are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the minimum supported clock frequency for S26KS256SDGBHN030?
The device supports variable clock rates down to DC (0 Hz) in active mode, with functional operation confirmed from 1 MHz to 166 MHz. At frequencies below 10 MHz, RWDS timing margins increase but remain within specification; no minimum clock is enforced by the embedded algorithm controller.
Does S26KS256SDGBHN030 require external voltage regulators for VCC and VCCQ?
Yes-it requires separate 1.8 V supplies for core (VCC) and I/O (VCCQ), each with dedicated decoupling capacitors. The datasheet specifies ±5% tolerance for both rails; deviation beyond this range risks timing violation or ECC failure during high-speed bursts.
How is the 512-byte program buffer utilized during write operations?
The buffer accepts up to 512 bytes of write data in a single command sequence, then executes internal page programming in ~475 µs. Host software must align addresses to 16-byte boundaries and avoid crossing 256-KB sector boundaries during buffered writes to prevent abort.
Can S26KS256SDGBHN030 operate in linear burst mode without pre-fetching adjacent pages?
No-linear burst mode automatically initiates pre-fetch of the next sequential 32-byte page during current page output. This concurrent fetch/output mechanism is hardwired in the EAC and cannot be disabled; it is essential to achieving sustained 333 MBps throughput.
