Product details
Overview
S29AS016J70BFI040 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 16 Mbit, 1.8 V-only boot sector Flash memory organized as 2 M × 8-bit or 1 M × 16-bit, featuring 70 ns access time, industrial-plus temperature range (–40 °C to +105 °C), AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, and flexible top/bottom boot architecture for embedded firmware storage in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the S29AS016J70BFI040 datasheet, S29AS016J70BFI040 pinout, S29AS016J70BFI040 application, or S29AS016J70BFI040 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.65–1.95 V single-supply operation, sector erase granularity (eight 8 KB + thirty-one 64 KB sectors), CFI compliance, Erase Suspend capability, and hardware write protection via WP# and sector group lock.
Technical Context
The S29AS016J70BFI040 implements JEDEC-standard command-set Flash architecture with an internal state machine controlling Embedded Program and Embedded Erase algorithms. It supports both x8 and x16 bus configurations via BYTE# pin, and uses Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for erase and hot electron injection for program operations.
Hardware features include RY/BY# for cycle completion signaling, RESET# for immediate state-machine reset to read mode, and WP# to protect outermost boot sectors regardless of software lock status. Sector Group Protection enables in-system locking/unlocking, and Temporary Unprotect allows code updates in otherwise locked sectors without full unlock.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL01GP12FHIV10 | 1 Gbit density, 110 ns access, 3.0 V supply - larger capacity but higher voltage and slower timing. | Targeted at high-end gateway controllers needing larger firmware partitions; not drop-in compatible due to voltage and timing mismatch. | Select only if >16 Mbit capacity and 3.0 V system architecture are confirmed; requires PCB and power redesign. |
| MX25L1606EM2I-12G | 16 Mbit SPI interface, 3.3 V supply, 120 MHz clock - serial interface, different protocol stack and voltage domain. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer IoT where pin count and layout simplicity outweigh parallel bus performance. | Choose only for new designs accepting SPI latency penalty and abandoning x8/x16 parallel interface; not interoperable. |
Compared with S29AS016J70BFI040, the Infineon S29GL01GP requires full system voltage redesign, while Macronix MX25L1606E introduces protocol-level incompatibility - neither offers pin- or command-set equivalence for existing parallel Flash designs.

FAQ
Is S29AS016J70BFI040 pin-compatible with earlier Am29SL160C devices?
Yes - it is backward compatible with the 0.32 µm Am29SL160C in both pinout and software command set, enabling direct replacement in legacy designs without PCB or firmware changes, provided voltage and timing margins are verified per the 1.65–1.95 V operating range.
Does the Secured Silicon Sector support customer programming after shipment?
Yes - the 128-word Secured Silicon Sector can be programmed and permanently locked either at the factory or by the end customer using the documented command sequence; once locked, it cannot be reprogrammed or unlocked, ensuring irreversible identity binding.
What is the functional difference between WP# and Sector Group Protection?
WP# is a hardware pin that physically protects only the two outermost boot sectors (top or bottom), independent of software lock status; Sector Group Protection is a software-configurable feature that locks any combination of sectors via command sequence, offering granular, in-system firmware partitioning.
Can Erase Suspend be used during chip-erase operations?
No - Erase Suspend is supported only for sector-erase operations, not chip-erase. During sector erase, suspend allows reading or programming other non-erasing sectors; chip-erase halts all array access until completion and does not support interruption.
