Product details
Overview
S29GL128P90FAIR23 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 128 Mbit (16 MB), 3.0 V-only Page Flash memory IC fabricated on 90 nm MirrorBit process technology, featuring 90 ns random access time, 25 ns page access time, uniform 64 Kword (128 KB) sector architecture (128 sectors), and 100,000 erase cycles per sector - deployed in industrial embedded systems for firmware storage and boot code execution.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL128P90FAIR23 datasheet, S29GL128P90FAIR23 pinout, S29GL128P90FAIR23 application, or S29GL128P90FAIR23 equivalent, key selection criteria include VersatileI/O™ voltage flexibility (VIO = 1.65–VCC), write buffer programming efficiency (64-byte burst), secured silicon sector with factory-programmable serial number, and CFI-compliant interface for host controller compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/non-volatile flash memory architecture with dual-mode data bus (word/byte via BYTE#), hardware reset (RESET#), and ready/busy status signaling (RY/BY#). It supports both regulated VCC (3.0–3.6 V) and full-range operation (2.7–3.6 V), with VIO independently configurable to match host I/O voltage.
Embedded algorithms manage program and erase operations with suspend/resume capability, while advanced sector protection uses persistent bits and password methods. The 8-word page read buffer and 32-word write buffer enable optimized sequential access patterns common in boot loader and firmware update workflows.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 Mbit (16 MB) - supports full boot image storage for mid-tier microcontrollers. |
| Access Time (tACC) | 90 ns (Regulated VCC) - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in real-time control applications. |
| Page Access Time (tPACC) | 25 ns - accelerates sequential instruction fetch during boot or firmware patching. |
| Write Buffer Size | 64 bytes - reduces effective programming time by >4× vs. single-word writes. |
| Erase Endurance | 100,000 cycles per sector - suitable for field-upgradable firmware with frequent minor updates. |
| Data Retention | 20 years typical - ensures long-term reliability in unattended industrial deployments. |
| VersatileI/O Range | VIO = 1.65–VCC - allows interoperability with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V host logic without level shifters. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial) - qualified for extended-temperature embedded control environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-ball Fortified BGA (LAA064, 11 × 13 mm, 1.0 mm pitch), Pb-free, industrial temperature grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A22–A0 | Address Inputs | 23-bit address bus supporting full 16 MB addressing (A22 MSB for 128 Mbit). |
| DQ15/A-1 | Multi-function I/O | Acts as DQ15 in word mode; becomes A-1 (byte LSB) when BYTE# = VIL. |
| RY/BY# | Open-drain Status Output | Active-low indicates active program/erase; high-Z = ready - enables polling without interrupt overhead. |
| WP#/ACC | Control Input | VIL = protects top/bottom sector; VHH = enables accelerated programming and unlock bypass mode. |
| VIO | Independent I/O Supply | Sets input threshold and output drive strength - decouples core logic voltage from interface voltage. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Asynchronous active-low signal that aborts ongoing operations and returns device to read mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Secured Silicon Sector | 128-word (256-byte) factory- or customer-lockable region containing programmable 8-word electronic serial number for device authentication. |
| Uniform Sector Architecture | 128 identical 64 Kword (128 KB) sectors - simplifies firmware partitioning and OTA update management. |
| Advanced Sector Protection | Persistent lock bits + password method - prevents accidental or malicious firmware overwrite without explicit unlock sequence. |
| Write Buffer Programming | 64-byte buffer reduces average programming time to 13.5 µs/word with VHH acceleration - critical for production-line flashing throughput. |
| CFI Compliance | Common Flash Interface v1.3 support - enables standardized driver integration across multiple flash vendors in bootloader stacks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Page Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL128S90TFI020 | Same density and speed, but TSOP-56 package (vs. BGA); no VIO support - fixed 3.0–3.6 V I/O. | Limited to space-constrained PCBs where BGA assembly is unavailable; lacks VersatileI/O flexibility. | Select when legacy board layout requires TSOP footprint and host I/O voltage is fixed at 3.3 V. |
| MX29GL128FHT2I-90G | Macronix equivalent; same 128 Mbit, 90 ns, industrial temp; supports CFI but lacks secured silicon sector. | No factory-programmable serial number or customer-lockable secure region - reduced security assurance. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where cryptographic device identity is not required. |
Compared with S29GL128S90TFI020 and MX29GL128FHT2I-90G, the S29GL128P90FAIR23 uniquely combines BGA packaging, VersatileI/O voltage scaling, and secured silicon sector - making it optimal for next-generation industrial and automotive platforms demanding both physical integration density and firmware authenticity.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP#/ACC pin on S29GL128P90FAIR23?
The WP#/ACC pin serves dual roles: at VIL, it protects the highest or lowest sector from program/erase; at VHH (12 V), it accelerates programming and automatically enters unlock bypass mode. Internal pull-up ensures default VIH state when unconnected, preventing accidental protection activation during normal operation.
Does S29GL128P90FAIR23 support byte-wide data access?
Yes - asserting BYTE# = VIL configures the device for byte mode: DQ0–DQ7 become active I/O, and DQ15/A-1 functions as the LSB address input (A-1). This enables compatibility with 8-bit microcontrollers and legacy bus architectures without external data-width translation.
How does the Secured Silicon Sector differ from standard flash sectors?
The Secured Silicon Sector is a dedicated 128-word (256-byte) region with factory- or customer-programmable 8-word electronic serial number. Once locked, its contents cannot be erased or rewritten - providing immutable device identity for firmware binding, license enforcement, and anti-counterfeiting in certified equipment.
Can S29GL128P90FAIR23 operate with VIO = 1.8 V while VCC = 3.3 V?
Yes - VersatileI/O™ allows VIO to range from 1.65 V to VCC. With VCC = 3.3 V, VIO may be set to 1.8 V to interface directly with low-voltage FPGAs or ASICs, eliminating level-shifter components while maintaining full read/write functionality and timing compliance per datasheet AC specs.
