Product details
Overview
S29AL008J55TFNR20 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is an 8 Mbit, 3.0 V-only boot sector Flash memory organized as 1 M × 8-bit or 512 K × 16-bit, featuring 55 ns access time, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), and flexible sector architecture with one 16 KB, two 8 KB, one 32 KB, and fifteen 64 KB sectors. It supports in-system programming via standard 3.0 V VCC-no 5 V or 12 V required-and integrates hardware write protection, erase suspend/resume, and CFI compliance for automotive and industrial firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29AL008J55TFNR20 datasheet, S29AL008J55TFNR20 pinout, S29AL008J55TFNR20 application, or S29AL008J55TFNR20 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block configuration (top/bottom), sector protection granularity, RY/BY# and RESET# hardware signaling, 0.2 µA standby current, and TSOP-48 vs. VFBGA-48 package compatibility in space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The S29AL008J55TFNR20 implements a command-register-driven state machine for Embedded Erase and Embedded Program algorithms, auto-timing pulse widths and verifying cell margin without external timing control. Its dual-mode interface (x8/x16) uses DQ15/A-1 for data/LSB address multiplexing and BYTE# to select bus width.
Hardware features include a dedicated RY/BY# pin for cycle completion detection, WP# for boot-sector lock (VIL activates protection), and RESET# that terminates active operations and forces read-array mode-critical for safe microcontroller boot recovery. Sector group protection operates in-system or via programmer, with temporary unprotect enabling runtime code updates.

Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Firmware Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing calibrated engine maps and diagnostic routines in under-hood ECU modules exposed to thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Boot-sector Flash providing secure, AEC-Q100 Grade 1-compliant nonvolatile storage for startup firmware and runtime parameter tables. Use Value: 125°C operation and 1M-cycle endurance ensure reliable reprogramming during vehicle lifetime; WP# and sector protection prevent accidental corruption during CAN-based OTA updates. | Use Scenario: Holding ladder logic firmware and I/O configuration data in modular programmable logic controllers deployed in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: In-system programmable Flash memory serving as persistent code repository with hardware reset recovery for deterministic boot. Use Value: RY/BY# and RESET# pins enable precise timing coordination with PLC CPU watchdog; erase suspend allows HMI-triggered firmware swaps without halting I/O scanning. |
| Medical Infusion Pump Boot Memory | Avionics Data Logger Nonvolatile Buffer |
Use Scenario: Storing certified safety-critical boot code and calibration constants in battery-powered infusion pumps requiring regulatory traceability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure, low-power Flash with Secured Silicon Sector used for immutable device identity and version-controlled firmware signature verification. Use Value: 0.2 µA standby current extends battery life between charges; factory-locked serial number satisfies FDA UDI requirements for device-level identification. | Use Scenario: Capturing flight sensor telemetry in ARINC-429 avionics recorders where power loss may occur mid-write. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability Flash with hardware data protection (VCC detector, WP#) ensuring atomic sector writes during brown-out conditions. Use Value: Automatic VCC detection inhibits writes during voltage droop; sector group protection isolates logger buffer from boot firmware-preventing corruption during emergency power-down. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29AL008J70TFNR20 | 70 ns access time vs. 55 ns; identical sector map, voltage range, and feature set | Lower performance grade suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controllers with relaxed timing budgets | Select when system clock speed permits longer access latency and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over worst-case timing margin |
| MX29LV008CTTI-70G | Macronix part with 70 ns access, same 8 Mbit density and 2.7–3.6 V supply but lacks CFI support and Secured Silicon Sector | Non-automotive applications where serial number binding and standardized host reconfiguration are not required | Choose for legacy designs migrating from older Macronix platforms where CFI and security features are unused |
Compared with S29AL008J70TFNR20 and MX29LV008CTTI-70G, the S29AL008J55TFNR20 delivers the fastest access (55 ns), full CFI compliance for software portability, and factory-programmable security-making it optimal for new automotive and safety-critical designs demanding both performance and traceability.

FAQ
What package type does S29AL008J55TFNR20 use?
The S29AL008J55TFNR20 uses a 48-ball fine-pitch VFBGA package (8.15 mm × 6.15 mm × 1.00 mm, 0.8 mm ball pitch), as specified in Infineon Document 002-00778 Rev. *Q, page 46. This package supports high-density PCB layouts and meets automotive thermal and mechanical reliability standards.
Does S29AL008J55TFNR20 support both x8 and x16 data bus configurations?
Yes. The device supports byte-mode (x8) and word-mode (x16) operation via the BYTE# pin. In x8 mode, DQ7–DQ0 carry data and DQ15/A-1 functions as address bit A-1; in x16 mode, DQ15–DQ0 carry full 16-bit data, enabling flexible integration with 8-bit or 16-bit microcontrollers.
How is hardware write protection implemented on S29AL008J55TFNR20?
Hardware write protection is controlled by the WP# pin: when driven low, it locks the boot sector (16 KB) against program/erase operations. An internal pull-up ensures WP# defaults to VIH (unprotected) if left unconnected. Protection applies only to the boot sector-other sectors require software or sector-group protection commands.
Is S29AL008J55TFNR20 compatible with JEDEC-standard Flash command sets?
Yes. The device is fully compliant with the JEDEC Standard JESD21-C for single-power-supply Flash memories. It supports standard commands including autoselect, sector erase, chip erase, and unlock bypass, and implements the Common Flash Interface (CFI) for automatic host software configuration and device identification.
