Product details
Overview
S29GL256N10FFI013 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Mbit (33,554,432-byte), 3.0 V single-power-supply NOR flash memory using 110 nm MirrorBit technology, organized in 256 × 128 Kbyte sectors, 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 systems requiring deterministic nonvolatile execution-in-place (XIP) capability.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256N10FFI013 datasheet, S29GL256N10FFI013 pinout, S29GL256N10FFI013 application, or S29GL256N10FFI013 equivalent, key selection considerations include JEDEC-compliant command set compatibility, VIO-adjustable I/O voltage range (1.65–3.6 V), Secured Silicon Sector with 128-word serial ID, and hardware reset (RESET#) support for system-level firmware recovery.
Technical Context
This device implements a parallel-interface NOR flash architecture with separate CE#, OE#, and WE# controls, enabling true random-access reads and sector-erase granularity. It supports both 8-bit and 16-bit data bus operation via BYTE# input and uses hot-electron injection for programming and hot-hole assisted erase for sector-level nonvolatile updates.
The Enhanced VersatileI/O™ (VIO) architecture decouples I/O voltage levels from VCC, allowing interoperability with 1.8 V or 3.0 V host logic without level shifters. Command execution relies on JEDEC-standard write sequences, with status reporting via DQ7 polling, DQ6 toggling, and RY/BY# output - all critical for real-time embedded firmware update coordination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 256 Mbit (33,554,432 bytes), organized as 256 × 128 Kbyte sectors - enables full bootloader + configuration storage in single device |
| Access Time | 90 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, VIO = 3.0–3.6 V - meets real-time XIP latency requirements for ARM Cortex-M4/M7 boot execution |
| Page Read Time | 25 ns - reduces burst read latency during firmware decompression or table lookup |
| Erase Cycles | 100,000 per sector typical - supports field firmware updates over 10+ year product lifecycle |
| Standby Current | 1 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed industrial gateways |

Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), standard industrial footprint compatible with legacy PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A23 | Address Inputs | 24-bit address bus supporting full 256 Mbit addressing; A23 is MSB for 33,554,432-byte space |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; BYTE# selects 8-bit mode for legacy 8-bit microcontrollers |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device for read/program/erase when asserted with valid address |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low control for data bus output drivers; used during read operations only |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for latching addresses/data during command sequences and programming |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; terminates ongoing erase/program and returns device to read mode |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status signal indicating active programming/erasing (low) or ready (high) |
| VIO | I/O Voltage Reference | Sets input threshold and output drive levels for all address/control/data pins - enables mixed-voltage system integration |
| WP#/ACC | Write Protect / Accelerated Program | Low = sector protection; high + VCC = accelerated programming current for factory throughput |
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 binding |
| Program/Erase Suspend | Allows pausing active program/erase to service higher-priority reads from other sectors - essential for real-time OS interrupt handling during firmware updates |
| CFI Compliance | Common Flash Interface support enables automatic detection and parameter negotiation by BIOS/bootloader - eliminates hardcoded timing assumptions |
| Password Sector Protection | 64-bit user-defined password required to unlock protected sectors - prevents unauthorized firmware modification in deployed edge devices |
| Enhanced VersatileI/O™ | VIO pin sets all I/O voltage thresholds dynamically - removes need for external level translators in heterogeneous voltage designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256S10TFI010 | Successor device; 90 nm process, 64-ball FBGA only, no TSOP option; 85 ns access time; supports deeper sleep modes | Requires PCB redesign due to BGA-only packaging; lacks 56-pin TSOP footprint compatibility | Select when migrating to newer Cypress platform with BGA layout flexibility and lower active power |
| MX29GL256FHTI-90G | Macleod Semiconductor part; 90 ns access, same 56-pin TSOP, JEDEC-compatible command set, but no Secured Silicon Sector or VIO support | No hardware-based device ID or mixed-voltage I/O; requires external level shifting for 1.8 V hosts | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where secure ID and voltage flexibility are not required |
Compared with S29GL256N10FFI013, the S29GL256S10TFI010 offers improved power efficiency and density scaling but mandates package change, while MX29GL256FHTI-90G retains TSOP compatibility yet omits critical security and voltage adaptability features needed for certified embedded systems.

FAQ
Is S29GL256N10FFI013 still recommended for new designs?
No. Cypress explicitly states this part is "Not Recommended for New Design" and designates S29GL256S10TFI010 as the factory-recommended migration path. While S29GL256N10FFI013 remains available for legacy support and existing production, new projects should adopt the S29GL-S family for enhanced process node, power efficiency, and long-term supply assurance.
What is the function of the WP#/ACC pin in normal operation?
In normal operation, WP#/ACC serves dual roles: when held low, it protects the first or last sector from accidental writes; when driven high with VCC applied, it enables accelerated programming current to reduce write time during high-volume manufacturing. It does not affect read operations or sector erase timing.
Does S29GL256N10FFI013 support 8-bit data bus mode?
Yes. When the BYTE# pin is asserted low, the device operates in 8-bit mode: DQ0–DQ7 become the data bus, and DQ8–DQ15 are tri-stated. This allows seamless integration with 8-bit microcontrollers without external data bus multiplexing or glue logic.
How is the Secured Silicon Sector accessed and protected?
The Secured Silicon Sector is accessed via a specific command sequence (not standard read/write), exposing an 8-word electronic serial number. It can be permanently locked at factory or by customer using a dedicated lock command. Once locked, no further writes or erases are possible - ensuring immutable device identity for secure boot chain validation.
