Product details
Overview
S29AL008J70BFI013 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 - deployed in automotive engine control units for firmware storage and over-the-air update retention.
For engineers reviewing the S29AL008J70BFI013 datasheet, S29AL008J70BFI013 pinout, S29AL008J70BFI013 application, or S29AL008J70BFI013 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block configuration (top/bottom), sector protection granularity, CFI compliance for host auto-configuration, and RY/BY# hardware status signaling for real-time erase/program monitoring.
Technical Context
The S29AL008J70BFI013 implements a command-register-driven state machine for embedded program and erase algorithms, supporting JEDEC-standard single-power-supply Flash command sets including unlock bypass, sector erase suspend/resume, and autoselect mode. It uses Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for erase and hot electron injection for programming.
Its dual-mode interface supports byte (x8) and word (x16) data widths via DQ7–DQ0 and DQ15–DQ0 respectively, with BYTE# pin selecting mode and DQ15/A-1 serving as LSB address input in byte mode. Sector group protection is enforced via hardware lock bits and WP# pin logic tied to boot-sector boundaries.

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) instead of BGA; 70 ns access time vs. 55 ns | Preferred for legacy PCBs with through-hole or wide-pitch footprint constraints; lacks BGA thermal/mechanical advantages | Select when board layout prohibits fine-pitch BGA or requires manual rework compatibility |
| MX29LV008CTTI-70G | Macronix 8 Mbit Flash; 70 ns access, 3.0 V supply, but no Secured Silicon Sector or CFI support | Lower-cost alternative where electronic serial number and auto-configuration are not required | Choose only if bootloader authentication and host-agnostic initialization are outside system scope |

FAQ
Is S29AL008J70BFI013 pin-compatible with earlier S29AL008D devices?
Yes - the S29AL008J70BFI013 maintains identical pinout and software command compatibility with the 200 nm S29AL008D, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Manufactured on 110 nm Process Technology" section. This ensures drop-in replacement in existing designs without layout or firmware changes, while delivering improved power efficiency and extended temperature range.
What is the function of the BYTE# pin, and how does it affect data bus width?
The BYTE# pin selects between 8-bit (x8) and 16-bit (x16) data interface modes: when pulled low, DQ7–DQ0 are active for byte-wide access and DQ15/A-1 becomes address A-1; when high, DQ15–DQ0 operate as a full 16-bit bus. This dual-mode flexibility allows reuse across 8-bit and 16-bit microcontroller platforms without redesign.
How does the Secured Silicon Sector provide device identification, and who programs it?
The Secured Silicon Sector contains a 128-word (256-byte) region with an 8-word (16-byte) factory-assigned random Electronic Serial Number. It can be programmed and permanently locked either at Infineon's factory or by the customer using the documented command sequence - enabling unique device binding for firmware licensing or anti-counterfeiting in Tier 1 automotive supply chains.
Does S29AL008J70BFI013 support simultaneous read and erase operations?
Yes - via Erase Suspend/Erase Resume functionality. When an erase is active, issuing the Erase Suspend command halts the operation, allowing reads or writes to any non-erasing sector. The Erase Resume command then continues the suspended erase. This enables real-time data access during background firmware updates without interrupting system operation.
