Infineon Technologies S28HL512TFPBHM013

Overview

S28HL512TFPBHM013 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 512-Mb (64-MB), 3.0-V supply, Semper® Flash NOR memory with Octal xSPI interface, ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliant functional safety architecture, and EnduraFlex™ endurance partitioning. It delivers up to 400 MBps DDR read throughput, supports 256 KB/4 KB sector erase, and features built-in SECDED ECC, interface CRC, and SafeBoot for automotive and industrial embedded boot storage.

For engineers reviewing the S28HL512TFPBHM013 datasheet, S28HL512TFPBHM013 pinout, S28HL512TFPBHM013 application, or S28HL512TFPBHM013 equivalent, key selection criteria include ASIL-B compliance, octal DDR timing at 200 MHz, 24-ball BGA (6 × 8 mm) package compatibility, and hybrid sector architecture support for firmware update partitioning.

Technical Context

This device implements Cypress's 45-nm MirrorBit® technology with two bits per cell and dual-controller architecture: Host Interface Controller (HIC) handles protocol-level transactions, while Embedded Algorithm Controller (EAC) manages program/erase sequences, ECC generation, and SafeBoot initialization. It supports both JEDEC JESD251-compliant Octal Peripheral Interface (OPI) and legacy SPI.

The memory array uses configurable sector architecture (uniform or hybrid), includes 1024-byte OTP Secure Silicon, and integrates Data Strobe (DS) for precise DDR read capture. Power management includes deep power-down mode (0.0022 mA) and hardware reset via dedicated RESET# pin or CS# signaling.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported in DDR mode?

The S28HL512TFPBHM013 supports DDR operation at up to 200 MHz, delivering 400 MBps effective read throughput. This is confirmed in the performance summary table (Page 2 of datasheet 002-23881 Rev. *A) and validated across all temperature grades including AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C).

Does this part support both octal and legacy SPI interfaces simultaneously?

No - the interface mode is selected at power-on via SFDP register configuration; it operates exclusively in either octal (x8) or legacy SPI (x1) mode. The DQ[7:0] pins function as bidirectional octal I/O in OPI mode or as SI/SO plus hold/write-protect in SPI mode, per Table 1 (Page 5).

How is SafeBoot functionality triggered and verified?

SafeBoot activates automatically during power-on reset and validates configuration registers, memory array integrity, and embedded algorithm controller readiness. Failure triggers INT# assertion and reports status via Status Register bits (SR[15:12]), documented in Section "SafeBoot" (Page 6) and register map (Page 8).

What package variant does the '013' suffix indicate?

The '013' suffix denotes the x1 default boot configuration in the 24-ball BGA, 6 × 8 mm package (VAA024), halogen-free and lead-free, with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature rating (−40 °C to +125 °C), as defined in the Ordering Information table (Page 7).
