Infineon Technologies S29CD016J0PQAM113

Overview

S29CD016J0PQAM113 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 16 Mbit (512k × 32-bit) burst-mode Flash memory IC with simultaneous read/write capability across dual banks, operating at 2.5–2.75 V supply, 66 MHz max clock frequency, and featuring dual boot sector architecture for automotive firmware storage. It supports zero-latency concurrent operations using separate address/data paths and integrates VersatileI/O™ for 1.65–3.6 V I/O compatibility.

For engineers reviewing the S29CD016J0PQAM113 datasheet, S29CD016J0PQAM113 pinout, S29CD016J0PQAM113 application, or S29CD016J0PQAM113 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.6 V single-supply operation, 80-pin PQFP package with verified pin mapping, dual-bank burst interface timing, and advanced sector protection methods for safety-critical firmware updates.

Technical Context

This device implements a dual-bank floating-gate Flash architecture fabricated in 110 nm process, enabling independent read and write execution on upper and lower banks without arbitration delay. Its synchronous burst mode uses CLK, ADV#, and IND#/WAIT# to manage 2/4/8-double-word wrap-around sequences with programmable initial clock delay (4–5 cycles).

Hardware-level protection includes WP#-controlled locking of two outermost large-bank sectors, ACC-assisted high-voltage programming acceleration, and persistent/password-based Advanced Sector Protection. The RY/BY# open-drain output provides real-time status feedback during erase/program operations.

FAQ

What is the function of the ACC pin on S29CD016J0PQAM113?

The ACC (Acceleration) pin accepts VHH (12 V) to accelerate internal erase and program operations by enabling higher tunneling current in the floating gate structure. When unused, it must be tied to VSS or VCC-not left floating-to prevent unintended acceleration or latch-up. This pin reduces typical double-word programming time from 25 µs to 18 µs and sector erase from 1.2 s to 1.0 s.

Does S29CD016J0PQAM113 support JEDEC-standard command sets?

Yes, the device implements the JEDEC JC42.4 standard command set for program, erase, and query operations, including autoselect ID codes (7E, 46, 01/00 for S29CD016J). It also fully supports Common Flash Interface (CFI) per JEDEC JESD68, allowing host software to auto-detect geometry, timing, and protection features at runtime without hard-coded parameters.

How does the dual boot sector configuration work in practice?

The device partitions the 512k-word array into top and bottom boot sectors-eight 2k double-word sectors at each end, plus thirty 16k double-word sectors in the middle. During reset, the processor can be configured to fetch boot code from either top or bottom via hardware strap or register setting, enabling A/B firmware images with atomic swap capability and guaranteed fallback on corruption.

Is the 80-pin PQFP package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes, the S29CD016J0PQAM113 is offered in a lead-free (Pb-free) 80-pin PQFP package compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-001 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3). The "F" material set designation in the order code confirms Pb-free construction, and the package undergoes 260 °C reflow profile qualification per J-STD-020.
