Product details
Overview
S29AL008J55BFIR22 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is an 8 Mbit (1M × 8-bit / 512K × 16-bit), 3.0 V-only boot sector Flash memory with 55 ns access time, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) qualification, and 48-ball fine-pitch BGA (0.8 mm pitch) packaging. It supports in-system programming via standard 3.0 V VCC-no 5 V or 12 V required-and features hardware write protection, sector erase architecture, and CFI compliance for embedded firmware storage in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the S29AL008J55BFIR22 datasheet, S29AL008J55BFIR22 pinout, S29AL008J55BFIR22 application, or S29AL008J55BFIR22 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-sector configuration (top/bottom), sector protection granularity (16 KB/8 KB/32 KB/64 KB), RY/BY# and RESET# hardware signaling, and compatibility with JEDEC single-power-supply Flash command sets.
Technical Context
The S29AL008J55BFIR22 implements a flexible sector architecture comprising one 16 KB, two 8 KB, one 32 KB, and fifteen 64 KB sectors in byte mode-or corresponding word-mode equivalents-and integrates an on-chip state machine that executes embedded program/erase algorithms with automatic timing, margin verification, and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling erase.
It delivers deterministic operation across –40°C to +125°C with hardware data protection including VCC detector, WP#-controlled boot-sector lock, and RESET#-initiated abort of active cycles; its CFI-compliant interface enables runtime host reconfiguration, while Erase Suspend/Erase Resume allows concurrent read/program in non-erasing sectors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (1,048,576 × 8-bit or 524,288 × 16-bit) - supports dual-width firmware image storage without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tACC) | 55 ns - enables zero-wait-state interfacing with high-speed microcontrollers up to ~18 MHz bus frequency. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - single-supply operation eliminates need for auxiliary voltage rails in battery-powered or automotive systems. |
| Cycling Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/program cycles per sector - ensures long-term field reliability for over-the-air (OTA) update partitions. |
| Data Retention | 20 years typical - meets automotive and industrial firmware archival requirements without refresh. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) - qualified for under-hood automotive control modules and industrial motor drives. |
| Power Consumption | 0.2 µA standby/auto-sleep current - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball fine-pitch BGA (VBK048), 8.15 mm × 6.15 mm × 1.00 mm, 0.8 mm ball pitch, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 1M-byte or 512K-word addressing; A-1 alias on DQ15 in byte mode. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O (x16) / DQ0–DQ7 (x8) | Bidirectional data bus; BYTE# pin selects 8-bit or 16-bit data width-critical for legacy 8-bit MCU interfaces. |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Independent control signals eliminate bus contention; enables interleaved access in multi-device memory systems. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Active-low open-drain status signal indicating real-time completion of program/erase-reduces polling overhead. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Asynchronous reset of internal state machine; ties directly to system reset rail to ensure boot firmware reload on power-up. |
| WP# | Write Protect Input | Hardware lock for top/bottom 16 KB boot sector-prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader during field updates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unlock Bypass Program Mode | Reduces multi-word programming time by halving required write cycles (2 vs. 4), accelerating firmware patch deployment. |
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Pauses background sector erase to allow foreground read/program in other sectors-enables true concurrent firmware operations. |
| Secured Silicon Sector | 128-word (256-byte) factory- or customer-programmable region with 8-word electronic serial number-supports device authentication and traceability. |
| CFI Compliance | Standardized register map provides host software with device geometry, timing, and command-set metadata-eliminates hard-coded Flash drivers. |
| Automatic Sleep Mode | Enters ultra-low-power state (0.2 µA) after address stability timeout-extends battery life in telematics and sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boot-sector Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29AL008J70TFIR20 | 70 ns access time, TSOP-48 package, same 8 Mbit density and sector architecture. | Larger footprint and higher board-level inductance limit use in high-speed routing or space-constrained automotive modules. | Select when PCB layout requires through-hole or legacy TSOP footprint and 70 ns timing suffices for target MCU interface. |
| MX29LV008CTTI-70G | Macronix part; 70 ns access, 3.3 V only, no CFI support, lacks Secured Silicon Sector and Erase Suspend. | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; limited to commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); no hardware-assisted OTA update features. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive consumer applications where CFI, security, and suspend functionality are unnecessary. |
Compared with S29AL008J70TFIR20 and MX29LV008CTTI-70G, the S29AL008J55BFIR22 uniquely combines automotive-grade reliability, 55 ns speed, BGA miniaturization, and production-ready features like CFI, Erase Suspend, and Secured Silicon-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical, field-upgradable embedded systems.

FAQ
Is S29AL008J55BFIR22 pin-compatible with earlier S29AL008D variants?
Yes-S29AL008J55BFIR22 maintains identical pinout and command set compatibility with the 200 nm S29AL008D, as confirmed in the Infineon datasheet revision history. The 110 nm process improves power efficiency and thermal performance but preserves mechanical and electrical interface equivalence for drop-in replacement in existing designs.
Does this device require external high-voltage circuitry for programming?
No-S29AL008J55BFIR22 operates exclusively from a single 2.7–3.6 V VCC supply; all program and erase voltages are internally generated and regulated. No external 5 V or 12 V VPP source is needed, simplifying power design and eliminating high-voltage routing on PCBs.
How is the Secured Silicon Sector programmed and locked?
The Secured Silicon Sector is programmed using the standard Word Program command sequence and locked via the Sector Protect command. It can be factory-programmed with a unique 8-word electronic serial number and permanently locked, or left unprogrammed for customer customization during final test-both modes supported per datasheet Section 8.
What is the function of the BYTE# pin, and how does it affect data bus width?
BYTE# selects between 8-bit (DQ0–DQ7) and 16-bit (DQ0–DQ15) data interface modes. When BYTE# = VIL, the device operates in x8 mode; when BYTE# = VIH, it operates in x16 mode. In x8 mode, DQ15 functions as A-1 (LSB address), enabling compatibility with 8-bit microcontrollers without external address demultiplexing.
