Product details
Overview
S29AS016J70BFI033 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16 Mbit (2 M × 8-bit / 1 M × 16-bit), 1.8 V-only boot sector Flash memory with top/bottom configuration, 70 ns access time, industrial-plus temperature range (–40 °C to +105 °C), and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification. It supports in-system programming via standard 1.8 V supply, features hardware write protection (WP#), Ready/Busy# signaling, and CFI compliance for host auto-configuration in embedded boot applications.
For engineers reviewing the S29AS016J70BFI033 datasheet, S29AS016J70BFI033 pinout, S29AS016J70BFI033 application, or S29AS016J70BFI033 equivalent, key selection criteria include boot sector architecture, 1.65–1.95 V single-supply operation, 1,000,000 erase/program cycles per sector, and FBGA-48 (VDF048) package compatibility with automotive and industrial control firmware storage.
Technical Context
The S29AS016J70BFI033 implements a JEDEC-compliant command-set architecture with embedded program/erase algorithms that auto-timing pulse widths and verify cell margin. Its state-machine-controlled interface accepts standard microprocessor write timings to the command register, enabling reliable in-system reprogramming without external high-voltage supplies.
It integrates dual power management modes-automatic sleep (15 µA) and standby (8 µA)-and supports concurrent operations via Erase Suspend/Resume, allowing read/program access to non-erasing sectors during background erase. Sector group protection is enforced via hardware lock bits and WP# pin control over boot sectors.

FAQ
Is S29AS016J70BFI033 pin-compatible with earlier Am29SL160C devices?
Yes - the S29AS016J70BFI033 is backward compatible with the Am29SL160C at the pin and software level, including identical TSOP-48 and FBGA-48 footprints, JEDEC command set, and sector architecture. This enables drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB or firmware changes.
What is the function of the BYTE# pin, and how does it affect data bus width?
The BYTE# pin configures the device's data interface: when pulled LOW, it operates in x8 mode (DQ7–DQ0 active); when HIGH, it operates in x16 mode (DQ15–DQ0 active). In x16 mode, DQ15 also serves as address bit A–1, enabling full 1 Mword addressing. This dual-mode flexibility supports both 8-bit and 16-bit microcontroller interfaces.
How does the Secured Silicon Sector differ from standard flash sectors?
The Secured Silicon Sector is a dedicated 256-byte region with factory-programmable 16-byte electronic serial number and independent lock control. Unlike standard sectors, it cannot be erased by standard commands and remains protected even after chip erase - ensuring permanent, tamper-resistant device identification for security and traceability.
Can S29AS016J70BFI033 be programmed in standard EPROM programmers?
Yes - the device supports programming in standard EPROM programmers using its command-set interface and 1.8 V supply. No external VPP voltage is required. Programming follows the same Word Program or Unlock Bypass command sequences used in-system, and verification is performed via Data# Polling (DQ7) or Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2).
