Product details
Overview
S29AL016J70FFI013 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 supports in-system programming via standard 3.0 V VCC-no 12 V VPP required-and integrates hardware reset (RESET#), ready/busy (RY/BY#), and write-protect (WP#) pins for automotive boot code storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29AL016J70FFI013 datasheet, S29AL016J70FFI013 pinout, S29AL016J70FFI013 application, or S29AL016J70FFI013 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block configuration (top/bottom), sector protection granularity, CFI compliance for host auto-reconfiguration, erase suspend/resume capability, and industrial/automotive temperature support up to +125°C.
Technical Context
This device implements JEDEC-standard single-power-supply Flash command sets-including autoselect, sector erase, chip erase, unlock bypass, and secured silicon sector access-with embedded algorithms for automatic program/erase timing and margin verification. It uses Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for erase and hot electron injection for programming.
Hardware features include dedicated RY/BY# for cycle completion detection, RESET# for state-machine reset to read mode, WP# for boot-sector lock, and BYTE# for x8/x16 data bus configuration. Sector group protection supports in-system locking/unlocking and temporary unprotect for field firmware updates.

Pinout & Package
The S29AL016J70FFI013 is packaged in a 48-ball Fine-pitch BGA (VBK048, 0.8 mm pitch, 8.15 mm × 6.15 mm). Pin functions are defined per JEDEC-compliant Flash interface with dual-mode data bus (x8/x16) and dedicated control signals for boot-sector protection and status monitoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 2M-byte addressing in byte mode or 1M-word in word mode |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O (x16) / DQ0–DQ7 (x8) | Bidirectional data bus; BYTE# pin selects x8 (DQ0–DQ7) or x16 (DQ0–DQ15) operation |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Independent controls eliminate bus contention; enable concurrent read/write arbitration in multi-master systems |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating active program/erase; allows polling-free interrupt-driven firmware flow |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Asynchronous reset to read mode; synchronizes boot sequence with system power-on reset |
| WP# | Write Protect Input | Locks boot sector (16 KB) when pulled low-prevents accidental overwrite of critical startup code |
| BYTE# | Bus Width Select | Configures data interface as 8-bit or 16-bit; determines DQ pin usage and internal address decoding |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Secured Silicon Sector | 128-word (256-byte) factory-programmable region with 8-word electronic serial number-enables secure device identity binding for firmware authentication |
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Pauses ongoing sector erase to allow read/program of non-erasing sectors-enables true background firmware patching without halting real-time operations |
| Unlock Bypass Mode | Reduces program command overhead from 4 to 2 write cycles-cuts flash update time by ~35% in OTA bootloader implementations |
| CFI Compliance | Standardized query table provides host software with geometry, timing, and command-set parameters-eliminates hardcoded flash drivers across product families |
| Hardware Sector Protection | Individual sector lock via WP# or command sequence-supports hierarchical firmware partitioning (bootloader, OS, app) with independent write permissions |

FAQ
Is S29AL016J70FFI013 pin-compatible with earlier S29AL016D variants?
Yes-S29AL016J70FFI013 maintains identical pinout and software command compatibility with the 200 nm S29AL016D, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs. The 110 nm process improves power efficiency and thermal performance but retains all mechanical and electrical interface specifications including voltage thresholds, timing windows, and signal definitions.
What boot configuration does S29AL016J70FFI013 support?
S29AL016J70FFI013 supports both top-boot and bottom-boot configurations, selectable via hardware strapping or command sequence. The 16 KB boot sector resides at the highest address (top) or lowest address (bottom) depending on BYTE# and WP# states at power-up, enabling flexible firmware partitioning for dual-image or recovery-mode architectures.
Does this device require external high-voltage circuitry for programming?
No-S29AL016J70FFI013 operates exclusively from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply for all read, program, and erase functions. Internally generated and regulated voltages handle Fowler-Nordheim tunneling and hot electron injection, eliminating need for external VPP generators, charge pumps, or 5 V/12 V rails in system design.
How is the Secured Silicon Sector programmed and locked?
The Secured Silicon Sector is programmed using the Enter/Exit Secured Silicon Sector command sequence followed by standard word-program commands. Locking is performed via a dedicated lock command that permanently disables further writes to the 128-word region. Factory locking is supported through Infineon's wafer-level programming services, while customer locking occurs in-system using the same command set.
