Product details
Overview
S29GL128N10TFI010 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 128 Mbit (16 MB), 3.0 V single-power-supply NOR Flash memory using 110 nm MirrorBit technology, organized as 8,388,608 words × 16 bits, with 90 ns access time, 25 ns page read time, and 100,000 erase cycles per sector - deployed in boot code storage for industrial control firmware and FPGA configuration.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL128N10TFI010 datasheet, S29GL128N10TFI010 pinout, S29GL128N10TFI010 application, or S29GL128N10TFI010 equivalent, key selection criteria include JEDEC-compliant command set, Secured Silicon Sector with 128-word serial ID, Enhanced VersatileI/O™ (VIO = 1.65–3.6 V), and TSOP-56/BGA-64 package compatibility for legacy embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a sector-erase architecture with 128 independent 64 Kword (128 Kbyte) sectors, supporting both chip- and sector-level erase commands. It uses hot-electron injection for programming and hot-hole assisted erase, with hardware reset (RESET#) and Ready/Busy# (RY/BY#) signaling for operation status.
Command execution relies on JEDEC-standard write sequences latched internally; features include Program Suspend/Resume and Erase Suspend/Resume, enabling concurrent read operations during active programming or erasure. CFI (Common Flash Interface) support enables automatic host identification and parameter retrieval.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 Mbit (16 MB), organized as 8,388,608 × 16-bit words - supports full firmware image storage for microcontroller boot loaders. |
| Access Time | 90 ns (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, VIO = 3.0–3.6 V) - enables direct XIP (eXecute-In-Place) execution from flash in real-time control applications. |
| Erase Endurance | 100,000 cycles per sector - suitable for field-upgradable firmware with infrequent reprogramming. |
| Data Retention | 20 years typical - ensures long-term reliability in unattended industrial equipment. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, VIO = 1.65–3.6 V - allows interoperability with 1.8 V or 3.3 V host buses via VIO pin control. |
| Page Read Buffer | 8-word (16-byte) buffer with 25 ns page access - reduces sequential read latency in configuration data fetches. |
| Write Buffer | 16-word (32-byte) buffer - cuts multi-word programming time by minimizing command overhead. |
Pinout & Package
Available in 56-pin TSOP (standard thin small outline package) and 64-ball Fortified BGA (LAA064). Pin functions are identical across packages except for NC assignments: Ball C8 is no-connect on S29GL128N; Ball F8 is no-connect on S29GL128N and S29GL256N.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A22 | Address Inputs | 23-bit address bus supporting full 128 Mbit addressing (A22 = MSB); BYTE# selects 8- or 16-bit mode. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; toggles DQ6/DQ2 and polls DQ7 for status during program/erase. |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Independent controls allow interleaved access and eliminate bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| WP#/ACC | Write Protect / Accelerated Program | Pull-low protects first/last sector; high-voltage assertion reduces programming time in production test environments. |
| VIO | I/O Voltage Reference | Sets input threshold and output drive level for all address/control/data pins - enables mixed-voltage system integration. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicates ongoing program/erase; used for hardware flow control without polling. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Aborts current operation and returns device to read mode - synchronizes boot sequence with system power-on reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Secured Silicon Sector | 128-word (256-byte) factory- or customer-lockable region with 8-word electronic serial number - enables secure device authentication and immutable firmware signing keys. |
| Password Sector Protection | User-defined 64-bit password prevents unauthorized erase/write of selected sectors - enforces firmware integrity in field-deployed devices. |
| Enhanced VersatileI/O™ | VIO pin configures all I/O voltage thresholds dynamically - eliminates level-shifters when interfacing with 1.8 V SoCs or 3.3 V FPGAs. |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Pause active programming or erasure to read/program other sectors - enables real-time logging while updating application code. |
| CFI Compliance | Standardized query table at address 0x0055/0x002A enables automatic detection and configuration by bootloader or flash utility software. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL128S10TFI010 | Successor part; 90 ns access, same density, 65 nm MirrorBit process, improved 1.8 V VIO support down to 1.65 V | Drop-in compatible pinout and command set; enhanced low-voltage margin for newer SoC interfaces | Select for new designs requiring extended voltage tolerance and longer lifecycle availability |
| MX29GL128FHT2I-90G | Macronix equivalent; 90 ns access, 128 Mbit, TSOP-56, JEDEC-compatible but lacks Secured Silicon Sector and password protection | Lower cost alternative where cryptographic security and permanent ID are not required | Choose when budget constraints outweigh need for secure silicon features and 20-year retention is secondary |
Compared with S29GL128N10TFI010, the S29GL128S10TFI010 offers tighter VIO tolerance and longer manufacturer support, while the MX29GL128FHT2I-90G sacrifices security features for cost - making the original optimal only for legacy system repair or exact form-fit-function replacement.

Manufacturer
Cypress Semiconductor (now part of Infineon Technologies) is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in memory, microcontrollers, and connectivity solutions for industrial, automotive, and consumer markets.
The S29GL-N family was designed for high-reliability, pin-compatible NOR flash replacement in legacy embedded systems requiring deterministic timing, secure boot, and long-term data retention - before migration paths like S29GL-S were introduced.
FAQ
Is S29GL128N10TFI010 still recommended for new designs?
No. Cypress explicitly states this part is "Not Recommended for New Design" and designates S29GL128S10TFI010 as the factory-recommended migration path. The S29GL128N remains viable only for legacy repair, obsolescence mitigation, or exact replacement in existing production - with no future roadmap support or wafer fab allocation.
What is the function of the WP#/ACC pin?
The WP#/ACC pin serves dual roles: when pulled low, it protects the first or last sector from accidental writes; when driven to VCC + 2.5 V (via external charge pump), it accelerates programming throughput by increasing internal current - a feature intended for high-volume manufacturing test, not field operation.
Does S29GL128N10TFI010 support 1.8 V I/O operation?
Yes. With VIO = 1.65–3.6 V, the device fully supports 1.8 V I/O signaling when VIO is tied to 1.8 V, enabling direct interface with low-voltage SoCs and FPGAs without level shifters - confirmed in the VersatileI/O™ section and AC characteristics tables.
How is the Secured Silicon Sector programmed and locked?
It is programmed via a specific command sequence (enter secured silicon sector → write 128-word data → exit), then permanently locked using the Persistent Protection Bit Lock (PPB Lock Bit). Once locked, no further writes or erases are possible - even with power cycling - ensuring cryptographic keys or serial IDs remain immutable.
