Product details
Overview
S29GL128P90FFIR20 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 128 Mbit (16 MB), 3.0 V-only Page 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 32-word/64-byte write buffer for accelerated multi-word programming - deployed in industrial embedded systems requiring nonvolatile code storage with fast boot and firmware update capability.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL128P90FFIR20 datasheet, S29GL128P90FFIR20 pinout, S29GL128P90FFIR20 application, or S29GL128P90FFIR20 equivalent, key selection considerations include VersatileI/O™ voltage flexibility (VIO = 1.65–VCC), hardware reset (RESET#), Ready/Busy# status signaling, CFI compliance, and dual-sector protection via WP#/ACC with VHH acceleration.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/non-volatile memory architecture with integrated erase voltage and program voltage generators, supporting byte/word configuration via BYTE# input and autoselect command mode for JEDEC-compliant identification. Its state control logic handles embedded algorithms for program, erase, suspend/resume, and unlock bypass operations.
The 64-ball Fortified BGA (LAA064) package supports VersatileI/O™ operation across VIO = 1.65–VCC and VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage SoC interfaces. Sector erase endurance is rated at 100,000 cycles with 20-year data retention under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 Mbit (16 MB) organized as 2,097,152 × 8 or 1,048,576 × 16 - supports full firmware image storage for mid-tier microcontrollers. |
| Access Time (tACC) | 90 ns (Regulated VCC: 3.0–3.6 V) - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in real-time embedded applications. |
| Page Access Time (tPACC) | 25 ns - accelerates sequential instruction fetch during boot or interrupt vector loading. |
| Write Buffer Size | 32 words / 64 bytes - reduces effective programming time by >4× vs. single-word writes, critical for field firmware updates. |
| Sector Architecture | Uniform 64 Kword (128 Kbyte) sectors × 128 - simplifies partitioning for bootloader, app, and parameter storage with independent erase control. |

| Operating Voltage | VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, VIO = 1.65–VCC - allows interface voltage scaling to match host processor I/O domains without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-ball Fortified Ball Grid Array (LAA064), 11 mm × 13 mm, 1.0 mm pitch, Pb-free (RoHS compliant), industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A22–A0 | Address Inputs | 23-bit address bus (A22–A0) selects 128 Kbyte sectors and internal word/byte locations; A22 is MSB for 128 Mbit density. |
| DQ15/A-1 | Bi-directional Data / LSB Address | In word mode: DQ15 carries MSB data; in byte mode (BYTE# = VIL): A-1 serves as LSB address for 8-bit access. |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Chip, Output, Write Enable | Standard asynchronous SRAM-like control signals - enable low-latency read/write without clock or protocol overhead. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicates ongoing program/erase; used for polling or interrupt-driven status monitoring. |
| WP#/ACC | Write Protect / Acceleration Input | At VIL: locks top/bottom sector; at VHH (12 V): enables unlock bypass mode for faster production programming. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Asynchronous active-low reset aborts pending operations and returns device to read mode - essential for system recovery. |
| VIO | Versatile I/O Supply | Defines input threshold and output drive levels independently of VCC - enables mixed-voltage interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V hosts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Secured Silicon Sector | 128-word (256-byte) factory- or customer-lockable region with 8-word electronic serial number - provides immutable device identity for secure boot and anti-cloning. |
| Advanced Sector Protection | Persistent lock bits + password method - enables flexible, field-updatable protection schemes without hardware modification. |
| Suspend/Resume Capability | Interrupts active program/erase to service high-priority reads - preserves real-time responsiveness in multitasking embedded OS environments. |
| CFI Compliance | JEDEC JESD68-compliant Common Flash Interface - enables automatic detection and configuration by standard flash drivers and bootloaders. |
| Automatic Sleep Mode | Enters ultra-low-power standby (<1 µA) after 100 µs of bus inactivity - reduces idle power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Page Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL128S90TFI010 | TSOP-56 package (vs. BGA), same 90 nm MirrorBit core, identical timing and feature set except no VIO pin - fixed 3.0–3.6 V I/O. | Limited to PCBs with space for TSOP footprint and no need for mixed-voltage I/O; lower assembly cost but higher board area. | Select when board layout constraints favor surface-mount SOIC/TSOP or when VIO flexibility is unnecessary. |
| MX29GL128FHT2I-90G | Macronix 128 Mbit Page Flash, 90 ns access, 64-ball BGA, but uses standard 3.3 V I/O only (no VersatileI/O™); lacks Secured Silicon Sector. | Supports basic boot/code storage but not secure identity binding or advanced protection schemes required for certified medical/industrial use. | Select for cost-sensitive, non-secure applications where CFI compatibility and timing match suffice. |
Compared with S29GL128S90TFI010, the S29GL128P90FFIR20 offers superior voltage interface flexibility and smaller footprint; versus MX29GL128FHT2I-90G, it delivers hardware-enforced security features and broader voltage tolerance - critical for safety-critical and long-lifecycle designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the VIO pin on S29GL128P90FFIR20?
The VIO pin sets input voltage thresholds and output drive levels independently of VCC, enabling operation with host I/O voltages from 1.65 V to VCC (2.7–3.6 V). This eliminates external level shifters when interfacing with 1.8 V or 2.5 V processors while maintaining full 90 ns access performance under regulated VCC conditions.
Does S29GL128P90FFIR20 support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes - its 90 ns random access time and asynchronous interface allow direct instruction fetch from flash without copying to RAM. The device supports XIP in both word and byte modes, with BYTE# pin selecting bus width, and is widely used in ARM Cortex-M and PowerPC-based boot loaders requiring deterministic startup timing.
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-programmable or customer-programmable 8-word electronic serial number and irreversible lock bits. Unlike standard sectors, it cannot be erased by standard commands once locked, providing tamper-resistant device identity for secure boot and license enforcement.
Can S29GL128P90FFIR20 be used in place of older S29GL128N devices?
No - the S29GL128P uses 90 nm MirrorBit process with enhanced VersatileI/O™, write buffer, and CFI support, whereas S29GL128N is 110 nm with different timing, command set, and no VIO pin. Pin compatibility exists in same-package variants, but firmware and driver changes are required due to differences in status bit mapping and protection mechanisms.
