Product details
Overview
S29CL016J0PQFM030 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 16 Mbit (512k × 32-bit), 3.3 V-only, dual-boot burst-mode Flash memory with simultaneous read/write capability across two independent banks. It features x32 data bus, 110 nm floating gate technology, and operates up to 66 MHz with 54 ns asynchronous access time - enabling zero-latency background erase/program during foreground read in automotive infotainment boot code storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29CL016J0PQFM030 datasheet, S29CL016J0PQFM030 pinout, S29CL016J0PQFM030 application, or S29CL016J0PQFM030 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-bank concurrency, VersatileI/O™ support (1.65–3.6 V), CFI compliance, persistent/password sector protection, and industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C) operation.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-bank architecture with physically separate address/data paths per bank, enabling true concurrent read and write operations without arbitration delay. Each bank supports independent command execution, including suspend/resume for program and erase cycles.
It uses JEDEC-standard command sets and Common Flash Interface (CFI) for host system compatibility, with programmable burst modes (linear 2/4/8 double-word wrap-around) and hardware-accelerated programming via ACC pin at VHH. The Secured Silicon Sector provides factory- or customer-lockable memory region for boot code integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (512k × 32-bit) - supports full 32-bit microprocessor interface without byte-lane masking. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V VCC - single-rail operation eliminates need for level shifters in 3.3 V systems. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 66 MHz - enables synchronous burst reads with 8 ns tBACC, reducing CPU wait states. |
| Asynchronous Access Time | 54 ns tACC - meets timing requirements for legacy parallel bus interfaces in industrial controllers. |
| Data Retention | 20 years (typical) - validated for long-life deployment in automotive ECUs and medical firmware storage. |
| Endurance | 1 million program/erase cycles per sector - sufficient for field-upgradable firmware with frequent OTA updates. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C (Industrial grade) - qualified for under-hood and dashboard-mounted electronics. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 80-pin Plastic Quad Flat Package (PQFP), 20.0 × 14.0 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant (Pb-free option).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A18–A0 | Address Input | 19-bit address bus (A18–A0) for 512k-word addressing; A9 supports 12 V autoselect voltage detection. |
| DQ31–DQ0 | Data I/O | 32-bit bidirectional data bus compatible with 32-bit microcontrollers and DSPs without glue logic. |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Control Inputs | Asynchronous chip/output/write enable signals - decoupled from CLK for mixed-mode timing flexibility. |
| RY/BY# | Open-Drain Output | Ready/Busy status indicator requiring external pull-up; VOL = active erase/program, VOH = ready for next command. |
| WP# | Hardware Protection | Active-low write protect for two outermost sectors in large bank - prevents accidental firmware overwrite during power transients. |
| ACC | Acceleration Input | VHH (12 V) input to reduce factory programming time; tied to VSS or VCC when unused. |
| VIO | I/O Supply | Independent 1.65–3.6 V I/O rail - enables interfacing with mixed-voltage SoCs without level translators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar burst-mode Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV160DBTI-70G | 16 Mbit, 3.0–3.6 V, x16 bus, no dual-bank concurrency - sequential read/write only. | Lacks simultaneous operation; requires software-managed bank switching and longer update windows. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs concurrency needs and system design accommodates sequential update flow. |
| S29GL016N90TFI010 | 16 Mbit, 3.0–3.6 V, x16/x32 configurable bus, dual-bank, but 90 ns tACC vs. 54 ns. | Slower access time increases CPU wait states; lacks VersatileI/O™ voltage flexibility (VIO fixed at VCC). | Prefer when footprint compatibility with older Spansion designs is required and timing budget permits latency increase. |
Compared with MX29LV160DBTI-70G and S29GL016N90TFI010, the S29CL016J0PQFM030 delivers superior real-time update capability via zero-latency dual-bank operation, tighter 54 ns access timing, and flexible 1.65–3.6 V I/O voltage - making it optimal for safety-critical, low-latency embedded boot systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the ACC pin on S29CL016J0PQFM030?
The ACC (Acceleration) pin accepts a 12 V VHH signal to accelerate internal erase and program operations, reducing typical double-word programming time to 18 µs and sector erase to 1.0 s. When not used, ACC must be tied to VSS or VCC; floating is prohibited. This pin is essential for high-throughput factory programming but optional in field applications.
Does S29CL016J0PQFM030 support true simultaneous read and write across banks?
Yes - the device contains physically independent upper and lower banks with separate X/Y decoders, address latches, and data gating. This allows one bank to execute a program or erase operation while the other serves burst or asynchronous read requests with zero latency, confirmed by the block diagram on page 8 of datasheet 002-00948 Rev. *C.
How is sector protection implemented on this Flash device?
Protection uses two methods: persistent lock bits (non-volatile, set via command sequence) and password-based dynamic protection. Persistent bits permanently disable write/erase for selected sectors until cleared with correct password. Hardware WP# also protects two outermost sectors in the large bank regardless of software state - adding redundant safeguard against voltage glitch-induced corruption.
What package variants are offered for S29CL016J0PQFM030?
The "Q" in the part number denotes 80-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package), 20.0 × 14.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch. Alternate packages include 80-ball Fortified BGA (13 × 11 mm and 11 × 9 mm footprints), but S29CL016J0PQFM030 specifically ships in PQFP with industrial temperature grade (I), top-boot configuration (0), and 66 MHz speed grade (P). No SOIC or TSOP variants exist for this family.
