Product details
Overview
S29AL008J70BFA013 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is an 8-Mbit (1 M × 8-bit / 512 K × 16-bit), 3.0 V-only boot sector Flash memory with 55 ns access time, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 Grade 1 support (–40°C to +125°C), and flexible sector architecture including one 16 KB, two 8 KB, one 32 KB, and fifteen 64 KB sectors. It operates across 2.7–3.6 V, supports in-system programming without high-voltage VPP, and integrates hardware write protection via WP# and RESET# pins for embedded boot code storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29AL008J70BFA013 datasheet, S29AL008J70BFA013 pinout, S29AL008J70BFA013 application, or S29AL008J70BFA013 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-sector configuration (top/bottom), CFI compliance for host auto-detection, Erase Suspend/Resume capability for real-time firmware updates, and Secured Silicon Sector with factory-programmable 128-word electronic serial number.
Technical Context
The S29AL008J70BFA013 implements a command-register-based state machine for Embedded Erase and Embedded Program algorithms, eliminating external timing control. It uses Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for erase and hot electron injection for program operations, with internal voltage regulation enabling single 3.0 V supply operation.
Its dual-mode interface supports byte (DQ7–DQ0) and word (DQ15–DQ0) data widths via BYTE# pin control. Sector Group Protection locks individual sectors permanently or temporarily, while Unlock Bypass reduces multi-word programming cycles from four to two write commands - directly accelerating firmware patching in resource-constrained systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (1,048,576 × 8-bit or 524,288 × 16-bit) - supports full boot image storage for mid-complexity microcontrollers. |
| Access Time (tACC) | 55 ns - enables zero-wait-state operation with 18 MHz+ microprocessors in read-intensive boot sequences. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with Li-ion battery-powered systems and automotive 3.3 V rails under load transients. |
| Cycling Endurance | 1,000,000 erase/program cycles per sector - validated for field firmware update cycles over 10+ years of deployment. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +125°C - meets long-lifecycle requirements for automotive ECUs and industrial controllers. |
| Operating Temperature | AEC-Q100 Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications without derating. |
| Power Consumption | 0.2 µA standby/auto-sleep current - critical for always-on vehicle modules with strict quiescent current budgets. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball Fine-pitch BGA (VBK048), 0.8 mm pitch, 8.15 mm × 6.15 mm × 1.00 mm body. RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O (x16) / DQ0–DQ7 (x8) | Bidirectional data path; BYTE# pin selects 8-bit (DQ7–DQ0) or 16-bit (DQ15–DQ0) bus width. |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Independent controls eliminate bus contention; enables interleaved read/write in multi-device systems. |
| WP# | Hardware Write Protect | Active-low input protecting boot sector (16 KB top or bottom) - prevents accidental overwrite during power-up/down. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status signal indicating active erase/program; allows CPU to poll without software overhead. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset | Asynchronous reset of internal state machine; synchronizes device to system reset for deterministic boot recovery. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CFI (Common Flash Interface) | Enables host firmware to auto-identify device geometry, sector map, and command set - eliminating hard-coded Flash drivers. |
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Allows interruption of sector erase to service real-time interrupts or read/program other sectors - essential for OTA firmware updates. |
| Secured Silicon Sector | 128-word (256-byte) factory- or customer-lockable region with unique 8-word electronic serial number - used for device authentication and license binding. |
| Unlock Bypass Mode | Reduces sequential word programming time by 50% vs standard command sequence - accelerates field firmware patching. |
| Flexible Boot Sector | Selectable top or bottom 16 KB boot block with independent hardware write protection - supports legacy and modern bootloader layouts. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29AL008J70TFI020 | Same die, TSOP-48 package (18.4 mm × 12.0 mm); lacks BGA mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments. | Preferred for prototyping and manual assembly; incompatible with automated BGA reflow processes. | Select when board space permits larger footprint and hand-soldering is acceptable. |
| MX29LV008CTTI-70G | Macronix part; 70 ns access, 3.0 V only, but no Secured Silicon Sector or CFI support - requires custom driver development. | Lower cost for non-secure, non-auto-configurable applications; not suitable for AEC-Q100 or medical certification paths. | Choose only if CFI, electronic serial number, or automotive qualification are unnecessary. |
Compared with S29AL008J70TFI020 and MX29LV008CTTI-70G, the S29AL008J70BFA013 uniquely combines BGA reliability, CFI-driven firmware portability, and factory-authenticated silicon identity - making it the sole option for certified automotive and regulated medical deployments requiring both physical and logical security.

FAQ
Is S29AL008J70BFA013 pin-compatible with earlier S29AL008D variants?
Yes - the S29AL008J70BFA013 maintains identical pinout, command set, and electrical characteristics with the S29AL008D, including 48-ball BGA (VBK048) footprint and TSOP-48 compatibility. It is manufactured on 110 nm process but retains full backward software and hardware interoperability per Infineon's continuity documentation.
Does this device support both top-boot and bottom-boot configurations?
Yes - the boot sector location (first or last 16 KB) is determined by hardware strapping during power-up: tying BYTE# high selects top-boot mode; tying it low selects bottom-boot mode. This configuration is fixed at power-on and cannot be changed dynamically in software.
What is the function of the Secured Silicon Sector, and how is it programmed?
The Secured Silicon Sector is a dedicated 128-word (256-byte) region containing an 8-word (16-byte) factory-assigned electronic serial number. It can be programmed and permanently locked either at Infineon's facility or by the customer using the Enter Secured Silicon Sector command sequence followed by program and lock commands - after which no further writes are possible.
How does Erase Suspend improve real-time system responsiveness?
Erase Suspend halts an ongoing sector erase operation, allowing immediate read or program access to any unselected sector. After servicing the interrupt or update, Erase Resume restarts the original erase - enabling concurrent background firmware maintenance without halting system operation or risking data loss.
