Product details
Overview
S26KS512SDPBHN020 from Infineon Technologies is a 512 Mb (64 MB) HYPERFLASH™ synchronous 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-qualified AEC-Q100 Grade 2.
For engineers reviewing the S26KS512SDPBHN020 datasheet, S26KS512SDPBHN020 pinout, S26KS512SDPBHN020 application, or S26KS512SDPBHN020 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 (8 µA typ.), and FBGA-24 package compatibility with high-density MCU boot memory designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a DDR center-aligned read strobe (DCARS) architecture where command/address and data are transferred over the same 8-bit DQ bus using double-data-rate timing referenced to CK/CK#. RWDS output is edge-aligned to CK transitions during reads, enabling precise data capture at 166 MHz.
The embedded algorithm controller (EAC) autonomously executes program/erase sequences-including 512-byte buffer programming (475 µs) and 256-KB sector erase (930 ms)-while the host interface controller (HIC) handles real-time signal monitoring, burst transaction control, and RSTO#/INT# assertion for system-level reset and ECC interrupt signaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 512 Mb (64 MB) - supports full firmware images for high-end microcontrollers and ADAS domain controllers. |
| Interface Protocol | HYPERTBUS™ DDR - uses single 8-bit DQ bus for commands, addresses, and data with CK/CK# differential clocking. |
| Max Read Throughput | 333 MBps - achieved via 166 MHz clock × 2 transfers/cycle × 1 byte per transfer, enabling fast boot and XIP execution. |
| Random Access Time | 96 ns - initial latency of 5–16 clock cycles enables deterministic startup timing in safety-critical systems. |
| Erase Endurance | 100,000 cycles - sufficient for field firmware updates in industrial gateways and automotive ECUs. |
| Data Retention | 20 years - guaranteed at +105°C, meeting long-lifecycle requirements for automotive and infrastructure equipment. |
| Power Modes | Deep Power-Down: 8 µA (typ.) - allows ultra-low standby current without wake-up latency penalty. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-ball Fortified Ball Grid Array (FBGA), 5 mm × 5 mm × 1.0 mm (VAA024), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CK / CK# | Differential clock input | Defines DDR timing reference; CK rising/falling edges sample DQ and RWDS; required for 166 MHz operation. |
| CS# | Chip select (active low) | Enables device communication; HIGH places device in standby or deep power-down mode. |
| RWDS | Read data strobe output | Indicates valid read data on DQ; edge-aligned to CK transitions; used only during read operations. |
| DQ[7:0] | Bi-directional data bus | Carries commands, addresses, and 8-bit data in DDR fashion; no separate address bus required. |
| INT# | Interrupt output | Asserted LOW on ECC error detection or busy-to-ready transition; connects directly to MCU interrupt pin. |
| RSTO# | Reset output | User-configurable LOW pulse for system power-on reset; driven after VCC stabilization and internal initialization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HYPERBUS™ DDR Interface | Reduces pin count by 40% vs. parallel NOR; eliminates separate address bus while sustaining 333 MBps read speed. |
| Configurable Burst Mode | Supports 16/32/64-byte wrapped bursts or linear bursts-enables optimal cache line alignment for ARM Cortex-R/A series MCUs. |
| ECC & CRC Protection | 1-bit correction / 2-bit detection + CRC on command/data transfers prevents silent corruption in safety-critical boot paths. |
| Advanced Sector Protection | Volatile and non-volatile lock bits per 256-KB sector allow selective firmware partitioning (e.g., bootloader vs. application). |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) and ISO/TS 16949 certified-qualified for powertrain and chassis control modules. |
Applications
| ADAS Domain Controller Boot Memory | Industrial PLC Firmware Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stores boot code and safety monitor firmware for radar/EPS ECUs requiring ASIL-B compliance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary non-volatile boot memory interfaced to TI Jacinto or NXP S32G via HYPERBUS™ master controller.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability firmware storage with 100K erase cycles and 20-year retention at 85°C ambient. Use Value: Deep power-down (8 µA) extends battery backup runtime; sector protection isolates bootloader from user-programmed logic. |
| Automotive Infotainment Head Unit | 5G Baseband Processor Code Storage |
Use Scenario: Stores Linux kernel, GPU firmware, and UI assets in head units with thermal constraints up to +105°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: XIP-capable HYPERFLASH™ memory mapped directly into ARM Cortex-A72 instruction space. Use Value: Linear burst mode enables continuous instruction fetch at 333 MBps; RSTO# synchronizes SoC reset sequence. | Use Scenario: Hosts baseband stack and protocol stack binaries for mmWave 5G NR modems operating in compact enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-pin-count, high-bandwidth external code memory replacing quad-SPI or parallel NOR. Use Value: 24-ball FBGA minimizes PCB area; 1.8 V I/O reduces signal integrity complexity vs. 3.0 V alternatives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed synchronous NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress S26KL512SDPBHN020 | Same die, identical electrical specs and timing; rebranded pre-acquisition part-pin-, timing-, and software-compatible. | No functional difference; supported by same Infineon tools and documentation post-merger. | Select when sourcing legacy Cypress-designated BOMs or requiring continuity with prior design validation. |
| Winbond W74M512FVSSIQ | Octal SPI interface (not HYPERBUS™); 400 MHz clock, 400 MBps read; no RWDS or differential clock; requires different controller IP. | Used in cost-sensitive consumer IoT where pin count is less constrained than bandwidth; lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 2 rating. | Choose only if migrating from SPI-based architecture and accepting trade-offs in automotive qualification and deterministic latency. |
Compared with S26KS512SDPBHN020, the Cypress rebrand offers zero-risk drop-in replacement, while Winbond's octal SPI alternative demands controller redesign and forfeits automotive temperature and ECC robustness-making it unsuitable for safety-critical deployments.

FAQ
What voltage levels does S26KS512SDPBHN020 support for core and I/O operation?
The device operates with 1.8 V VCC/VCCQ for both core and I/O functions. It is not rated for 3.0 V operation-only the S26KS512Sxxx010 variant supports 3.0 V I/O. This 1.8 V version ensures lower power consumption and improved signal integrity in high-speed DDR interfaces.
Does S26KS512SDPBHN020 require an external clock termination resistor?
Yes. The differential CK/CK# inputs require 100 Ω differential termination between pins, placed as close as possible to the device ball pads. This is specified in Infineon's layout guidelines (AN2299) to maintain signal integrity at 166 MHz and prevent read timing violations.
How is the 512-byte program buffer utilized during write operations?
The buffer accepts up to 512 bytes of data in a single burst write, then internally programs them in ~475 µs. This reduces host overhead versus single-word programming (500 µs per 2 bytes) and enables efficient firmware patching with minimal CPU intervention.
Can RSTO# be disabled or configured as a general-purpose output?
No. RSTO# is a dedicated open-drain output with fixed functionality: it asserts LOW after power-on reset completion and releases HIGH once internal initialization finishes. Its pulse width is configurable via non-volatile register but cannot be repurposed as GPIO or disabled.
