Product details
Overview
S29GL256P11FFI023 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Mbit (32 MB), 3.0 V-only Page Flash memory IC fabricated on 90 nm MirrorBit process technology, featuring 256 uniform 64 Kword (128 Kbyte) sectors, 25 ns page access time, and 110 ns random access time under regulated VCC. It supports VersatileI/O™ with VIO range 1.65–VCC, includes 32-word write buffer and secured silicon sector with electronic serial number, and is used in industrial embedded systems requiring nonvolatile program storage and firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256P11FFI023 datasheet, S29GL256P11FFI023 pinout, S29GL256P11FFI023 application, or S29GL256P11FFI023 equivalent, key selection criteria include sector architecture uniformity, VIO voltage flexibility, WP#/ACC acceleration capability, CFI compliance, and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C) in Fortified BGA package.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/asynchronous hybrid interface with dedicated CE#, OE#, and WE# controls, enabling standard NOR Flash command-set execution including autoselect, program suspend/resume, and advanced sector protection via persistent bits or password lock. Its internal state machine manages erase and program algorithms without external timing control.
The 64-ball Fortified BGA (LAA064) package supports byte/word configuration via BYTE# input, and integrates hardware reset (RESET#) and ready/busy status (RY/BY#) for system-level coordination. The secured silicon sector provides factory- or customer-programmable 128-word identification space with permanent lock capability.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP#/ACC pin on S29GL256P11FFI023?
The WP#/ACC pin serves dual roles: at VIL, it protects the top or bottom sector from accidental program/erase; at VHH (12 V), it enables Unlock Bypass Program mode, accelerating programming throughput during manufacturing. Internal pull-up ensures safe default (VIH) state when unconnected, disabling protection and acceleration unless explicitly driven.
Does S29GL256P11FFI023 support byte-wide data access?
Yes, via the BYTE# input: when pulled low, the device operates in byte mode with DQ0–DQ7 active and DQ15/A-1 repurposed as address bit A-1. This enables 8-bit microcontroller interfacing without external data bus multiplexing, maintaining full 256 Mbit addressability with appropriate address decoding.
How does the secured silicon sector differ from standard flash sectors?
The secured silicon sector is a dedicated 128-word (256-byte) region physically isolated from main array sectors. It supports one-time or customer-lockable programming of an 8-word electronic serial number and remains inaccessible to standard erase commands-even when global protection is disabled-ensuring permanent, tamper-resistant device identification.
Can S29GL256P11FFI023 be used in systems with mixed 1.8 V and 3.3 V I/O domains?
Yes, through VersatileI/O™: VIO can be set independently from VCC within 1.65–VCC. With VCC = 3.3 V and VIO = 1.8 V, all inputs accept 1.8 V logic levels and outputs drive 1.8 V-compatible receivers-enabling direct interface to 1.8 V FPGAs or processors without level shifters, while maintaining 3.3 V core operation.
