Product details
Overview
S29GL128P90FAIR13 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 128 Mbit (16 MB) 3.0 V-only page-mode NOR Flash memory fabricated on 90 nm MirrorBit process technology, featuring 90 ns random access time, 25 ns page access time, uniform 64 Kword (128 Kbyte) sector architecture (128 sectors), and 100,000 erase cycles per sector - deployed in industrial embedded systems for firmware storage and code execution.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL128P90FAIR13 datasheet, S29GL128P90FAIR13 pinout, S29GL128P90FAIR13 application, or S29GL128P90FAIR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VIO-supported VersatileI/O™ voltage flexibility (1.65–VCC), write buffer programming efficiency (64-byte buffer), secured silicon sector with factory-programmable ESN, and CFI-compliant interface for bootloader compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/asynchronous hybrid command-set architecture with hardware reset (RESET#), ready/busy status signaling (RY/BY#), and dual protection modes: persistent sector lock bits and password-based Advanced Sector Protection. It supports byte/word configuration via BYTE# input and operates across full VCC (2.7–3.6 V), regulated VCC (3.0–3.6 V), or VersatileIO VIO (1.65–VCC) supply configurations.
The internal block diagram integrates X/Y decoders, erase/PGM voltage generators, state control logic, and command register with support for suspend/resume during program/erase, unlock bypass mode for accelerated programming, and autoselect entry for JEDEC ID retrieval - enabling robust in-system firmware updates and secure boot partitioning.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29GL128FHI-90G | 128 Mbit, 90 ns, 3 V, 64-ball BGA; lacks Secured Silicon Sector and VersatileI/O™ | No factory-programmable ESN or VIO flexibility; requires external voltage translation for mixed-voltage designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs security and I/O voltage adaptability needs |
| S29GL128S90TFI010 | Same die, TSOP-56 package (not BGA); identical timing, endurance, and feature set | Preferred for legacy PCB layouts with TSOP footprints; no BGA rework or thermal management overhead | Select when board space permits larger package and assembly process avoids BGA handling |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for S29GL128P90FAIR13?
The S29GL128P90FAIR13 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, validated per Cypress specification document 002-00886 Rev. *B. This range applies across all supported VCC (2.7–3.6 V) and VIO (1.65–VCC) supply conditions, with full AC/DC parameter compliance guaranteed within these limits.
Does S29GL128P90FAIR13 support Common Flash Interface (CFI)?
Yes, the device fully supports CFI version 1.3 as defined in the JEDEC JESD68 standard. CFI query mode is enabled via the autoselect command sequence (0x90), returning vendor-specific identification, geometry, and timing data - enabling OS-agnostic flash drivers and standardized firmware update tools.
How is the Secured Silicon Sector programmed and locked?
The 128-word Secured Silicon Sector is programmed using standard write commands in unlock-bypass mode, then permanently locked via the "Program Secured Silicon Sector Lock Bit" command (0xB0). Once locked, the sector becomes read-only and immune to erase or program commands - verified by reading lock status register bit 7 (LSB).
Can S29GL128P90FAIR13 operate with VIO = 1.8 V while VCC = 3.3 V?
Yes, the VersatileI/O™ architecture explicitly supports VIO = 1.65–VCC. With VCC = 3.3 V, VIO may be set to 1.8 V, allowing direct interfacing to 1.8 V logic families without level shifters - confirmed in Table 1 (VersatileIO VIO operating range) and Section 7.3 of the datasheet.
