Product details
Overview
S29GL128S90FAI013 from Spansion is a 128 Mbit (16 MB) 3.0 V-only page-mode NOR Flash memory IC fabricated on 65 nm MirrorBit Eclipse process technology, featuring 90 ns random access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and Fortified BGA package (LAA064, 11 mm × 13 mm). It supports sector protection, password-enabled block locking, and is used in boot code storage for industrial controllers and firmware storage in network edge devices.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL128S90FAI013 datasheet, S29GL128S90FAI013 pinout, S29GL128S90FAI013 application, or S29GL128S90FAI013 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 90 ns access timing, industrial-grade thermal reliability, VIO/VCC flexibility (2.7–3.6 V), sector-based write protection, and BGA-64 mechanical compatibility with legacy Spansion GL-S footprint designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/asynchronous dual-mode interface with standard CFI-compliant command sets and supports both single-word and burst read operations. It integrates embedded erase and program algorithms compliant with JEDEC JESD21-C, enabling autonomous sector erase (typ. 0.5 s) and byte/word programming (typ. 8 µs).
The memory array is organized as 2,097,152 × 8 bits (x8 configuration), with 128 uniform sectors of 128 KB each. Sector protection is implemented via hardware lock bits and software-controlled PPB/DYB mechanisms, supporting both highest- and lowest-address sector protection modes per ordering option (01 = highest protected).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 128 Mbit (16 MB), x8 organization - supports full boot image storage for ARM Cortex-M7/M4 microcontrollers. |
| Access Time | 90 ns - enables direct execution (XIP) from flash in real-time control loops with ≤100 ns latency budget. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = VIO = 2.7–3.6 V - eliminates level-shifting circuitry in 3.3 V system designs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation PLCs and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| Package | LAA064 Fortified BGA, 11 mm × 13 mm - provides mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation for high-reliability mounting. |
| Sector Size | 128 KB uniform sectors (128 total) - allows granular firmware update partitioning without erasing entire device. |
| Write Protection | Hardware lock bits + software PPB/DYB - prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader during field firmware upgrades. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Fortified Ball-Grid Array (LAA064), 64-ball, 0.8 mm pitch, 11 mm × 13 mm body, RoHS-compliant Pb-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus supporting full 128 Mbit addressing (A0–A20); A20 selects upper/lower half of memory map. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; supports byte-wide reads/writes and CFI query mode for automatic detection. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be asserted before OE#/WE# to initiate valid access cycle. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low control for data output buffer; decouples read timing from address setup. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write/erase command latching; synchronized with CE# and address valid window. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status indicator; low during embedded erase/program operations, high when ready for next command. |
| VCC / VIO | Power Supplies | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply for core and I/O - no separate VCCQ required; simplifies power rail design. |
| WP#/ACC | Write Protect / Acceleration | Hardware write protect input; when tied low, disables sector protection commands; also enables acceleration mode for faster programming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MirrorBit Eclipse Technology | 65 nm process enabling 128 Mbit density in compact BGA-64, reducing PCB area vs. older 90 nm equivalents. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL128P90FAI010 | Same density and package, but uses older 90 nm MirrorBit process; 100 ns access time; no PPB support. | Lacks password-based permanent block protection; unsuitable for secure boot implementations requiring tamper resistance. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs security requirements and 10 ns slower access is acceptable in non-real-time systems. |
| MX29GL128FHI-90G | Macronix 128 Mbit NOR Flash, 90 ns, same LAA064 BGA; supports CFI but lacks DYB/PPB dual-lock architecture. | Relies on external MCU-based locking; no hardware-enforced sector protection independent of host firmware state. | Prefer where existing Macronix toolchain and qualification are established, and host-side security controls suffice. |
Compared with S29GL128P90FAI010 and MX29GL128FHI-90G, the S29GL128S90FAI013 uniquely combines 90 ns speed, industrial temperature rating, and dual-layer (PPB+DYB) password protection - making it the only choice for safety-critical boot memory where firmware integrity must survive power loss and unauthorized access attempts.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst read operations?
The S29GL128S90FAI013 does not use a clock signal; it is an asynchronous NOR Flash. Burst read timing is governed by address hold/setup times and CE#/OE# pulse widths. Maximum effective throughput is determined by 90 ns random access time and 30 ns minimum OE# pulse width, yielding up to ~11 MB/s in continuous burst mode under optimal bus timing.
Does this part support Quad SPI or other serial interfaces?
No. The S29GL128S90FAI013 is a parallel-interface NOR Flash with x8 data bus and discrete control signals (CE#, OE#, WE#). It does not implement SPI, QSPI, or any serial protocol. Interface compatibility is limited to standard asynchronous parallel memory buses found in ARM9, Cortex-R, and PowerPC-based controllers.
How is sector protection configured - via hardware pins or software commands?
Sector protection uses both methods: hardware WP# pin disables all protection commands when asserted low, while software commands (via CFI command set) configure PPB (Permanent Protection Bit) and DYB (Dynamic Protection Bit) registers. PPB locking is irreversible without factory reset; DYB can be toggled in-system using password authentication.
Is the LAA064 BGA package compatible with reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020?
Yes. The LAA064 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per IPC-J-STD-020D, with peak temperature rating of 260°C for 30 seconds. Its fortified construction includes enhanced solder joint reliability testing per JESD22-A113, making it suitable for high-vibration industrial assembly lines.
