Product details

Overview

S29AL016J70BFA023 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16 Mbit (2M × 8-bit / 1M × 16-bit), 3.0 V-only boot sector Flash memory with 55 ns access time, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) qualification, and flexible sector architecture including one 16 KB, two 8 KB, one 32 KB, and thirty-one 64 KB sectors. It operates across 2.7–3.6 V, supports in-system programming without high-voltage VPP, and is used for automotive boot code storage and industrial firmware retention.

For engineers reviewing the S29AL016J70BFA023 datasheet, S29AL016J70BFA023 pinout, S29AL016J70BFA023 application, or S29AL016J70BFA023 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-sector protection granularity, CFI compliance for host auto-configuration, erase suspend/resume capability for real-time firmware updates, and hardware reset (RESET#) and ready/busy (RY/BY#) signaling for deterministic timing control.

Technical Context

The S29AL016J70BFA023 implements a JEDEC-standard single-power-supply Flash command set with embedded algorithms for program and erase-automatically managing pulse widths and margin verification. Its architecture includes dedicated Secured Silicon Sector (128-word/256-byte) with factory- or customer-programmable electronic serial number.

It features dual power-saving modes: automatic sleep mode (0.2 µA) triggered by address stability, and software-controllable standby mode (0.2 µA). Hardware protections include VCC detector for write inhibition during power transitions, WP#-controlled boot-sector lock, and hardware RESET# to abort operations and return to read mode.

FAQ

Is S29AL016J70BFA023 pin-compatible with earlier S29AL016D variants?

Yes, the S29AL016J70BFA023 is fully pin-compatible with the S29AL016D in all supported packages (TSOP, VBK048, LAE064), and its datasheet confirms functional and software compatibility-including identical pin functions, timing parameters, and command sequences-enabling drop-in replacement without PCB or firmware changes.

Does S29AL016J70BFA023 support both x8 and x16 data bus configurations?

Yes, the device supports both configurations via the BYTE# pin: asserted high for x8 mode (DQ7–DQ0 active), low for x16 mode (DQ15–DQ0 active). The internal memory array is physically organized as 1M × 16-bit, and byte-mode operation maps each byte access to the corresponding word-aligned location with proper byte-enable handling.

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) electronic serial number. It is programmed using the Enter Secured Silicon Sector command sequence followed by standard program commands, and can be permanently locked at factory or by customer via the Sector Protection command-preventing further writes while allowing read access.

Can S29AL016J70BFA023 operate reliably at 125°C ambient temperature?

Yes, the S29AL016J70BFA023 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1, specifying guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This includes full functionality of read, program, and erase operations, verified across voltage range (2.7–3.6 V) and timing margins per AC characteristics table in the official datasheet (Rev. *Q).
