Product details
Overview
S29AS008J70BFI020 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is an 8 Mbit, 1.8 V-only boot sector Flash memory organized as 1M × 8-bit / 512K × 16-bit with top/bottom configurable boot blocks, 70 ns access time, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports in-system programming via standard 1.8 V VCC, features Secured Silicon Sector with 256-byte factory-programmable serial ID, and is used for firmware storage in embedded microcontroller boot loaders.
For engineers reviewing the S29AS008J70BFI020 datasheet, S29AS008J70BFI020 pinout, S29AS008J70BFI020 application, or S29AS008J70BFI020 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot sector architecture flexibility, JEDEC-compliant command set, hardware write protection (WP#), erase suspend/resume capability, and dual-package availability (48-pin TSOP/48-ball FBGA).
Technical Context
The device implements a sector-erase Flash architecture with eight 8 KB + fifteen 64 KB sectors (byte mode) or eight 4 Kword + fifteen 32 Kword sectors (word mode), enabling selective firmware updates without full chip erasure. It uses Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for erase and hot electron injection for program operations, with internally generated high-voltage programming/erase pulses.
Command execution is managed by an internal state machine that latches addresses and data during write cycles; status detection is supported via RY/BY# pin, DQ7 Data# Polling, and DQ6/DQ2 toggle bits. CFI compliance provides standardized device identification for host software auto-configuration.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL032N90TFI010 | 32 Mbit density, 90 ns access, 3.0 V supply - larger capacity but incompatible voltage domain | Requires external level-shifting for 1.8 V systems; suited for higher-firmware-footprint applications | Select only if system design accommodates 3.0 V VCC and requires >8 Mbit capacity |
| MX29LV008CTTI-70G | 8 Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0 V supply - same density/speed but different voltage and JEDEC command set | Lacks Secured Silicon Sector and CFI support; no hardware WP# for boot sectors | Use only when legacy 3.0 V infrastructure exists and security/authentication features are not required |
Compared with S29AS008J70BFI020, the S29GL032N90TFI010 offers greater density but mandates 3.0 V operation and lacks 1.8 V compatibility, while the MX29LV008CTTI-70G omits critical security and protection features essential for modern embedded boot applications.

FAQ
What package types are offered for S29AS008J70BFI020?
The S29AS008J70BFI020 is manufactured in two RoHS-compliant packages: 48-pin TSOP (Type I, standard footprint) and 48-ball FBGA (VBK048, 8.15 mm × 6.15 mm). Both packages share identical pinout, timing, and functional specifications, enabling drop-in layout reuse between designs.
Does S29AS008J70BFI020 support both x8 and x16 data bus configurations?
Yes. The device supports configurable bus width via the BYTE# pin: asserting BYTE# LOW selects 8-bit mode (DQ7–DQ0 active), while asserting BYTE# HIGH enables 16-bit mode (DQ15–DQ0 active). In byte mode, DQ15 functions as A-1 (address LSB), maintaining full 8 Mbit addressability.
How is hardware write protection implemented on S29AS008J70BFI020?
Hardware write protection is enforced through the WP# pin, which internally pulls up to VCC. When WP# is driven LOW, the two outermost boot sectors (regardless of software sector group protection status) are locked against program and erase operations. This provides fail-safe protection during power transitions or system faults.
Can S29AS008J70BFI020 be programmed in standard EPROM programmers?
Yes. The device supports parallel programming in standard EPROM programmers using 1.8 V VCC only - no auxiliary 5 V or 12 V supplies are required. Programming follows JEDEC-standard command sequences, and all necessary voltages are internally generated, ensuring compatibility with legacy programming infrastructure.
