Infineon Technologies S29GL01GT10FHI013

Overview

S29GL01GT10FHI013 from Infineon is a 1 Gb (128 MB) parallel NOR flash memory using 45-nm MIRRORBIT™ technology, operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V with 100 ns random access time and 15 ns page access time. It features a 512-byte write buffer, hardware ECC for single-bit correction, uniform 128-KB sector erase, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It is used in boot code storage for industrial controllers requiring fast XIP execution and reliable non-volatile firmware retention.

For engineers reviewing the S29GL01GT10FHI013 datasheet, S29GL01GT10FHI013 pinout, S29GL01GT10FHI013 application, or S29GL01GT10FHI013 equivalent, key selection factors include verified 100,000 program/erase cycles, 20-year data retention, CFI-compliant interface, OTP array with four lockable SSR regions, and support for suspend/resume during programming and erase.

Technical Context

This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with ×8/×16 configurable data bus, supporting byte- and word-aligned addressing. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) manages all program/erase operations, including automatic ECC generation and verification per 512-byte sector.

The architecture includes dedicated address space overlays (ASOs) for Device ID/CFI, Status Register, Data Polling, SSR (OTP), and ECC status - enabling standardized software drivers and robust firmware update workflows in resource-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ

Does S29GL01GT10FHI013 support both ×8 and ×16 data bus configurations?

Yes, it supports configurable ×8 or ×16 operation via hardware pin strapping (BYTE# input). When BYTE# is low, the device operates in ×16 mode with DQ0–DQ15 active; when high, it operates in ×8 mode with DQ0–DQ7 only. Address alignment remains byte-based in both modes, and CFI reports correct bus width automatically.

What is the function of the SSR (One-Time Programmable) array?

The 2048-byte SSR array contains four lockable regions (SSR0–SSR3). SSR0 is factory-locked and holds device-specific identifiers; SSR3 supports password-protected read access for storing cryptographic keys or calibration data. Once locked, SSR regions cannot be reprogrammed, ensuring permanent, tamper-resistant storage.

How does hardware ECC operate during read cycles?

Hardware ECC runs transparently on every 512-byte sector read: syndrome calculation occurs in parallel with data transfer, and single-bit errors are corrected before data reaches the bus. No software intervention is required, and the Status Register flags uncorrectable multi-bit errors. ECC does not impact read timing - tACC remains 100 ns.

Can S29GL01GT10FHI013 be used in systems with 1.8 V I/O voltage?

Yes, its Versatile I/O (VIO) feature supports 1.65 V to VCC operation. With VCC = 3.3 V and VIO = 1.8 V, the device accepts 1.8 V logic levels on all control and address pins while driving 1.8 V–compatible outputs. This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage SoC interfaces such as those found in ARM Cortex-A/M series designs.
