Product details
Overview
S29GL256P11FFIV13 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 25 ns page access time, 110 ns random access time, uniform 64 Kword sectors (256 total), and VersatileI/O™ support with VIO range 1.65–VCC. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in industrial embedded controllers requiring fast boot code retrieval and field firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256P11FFIV13 datasheet, S29GL256P11FFIV13 pinout, S29GL256P11FFIV13 application, or S29GL256P11FFIV13 equivalent, key selection criteria include sector erase endurance (100,000 cycles), data retention (20 years), write buffer programming efficiency (13.5 µs/word with VHH), and dual-package availability (64-ball Fortified BGA, TSOP).
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous command-set architecture compliant with Common Flash Interface (CFI), supporting both word and byte configurations via BYTE# control. Its internal state machine executes embedded erase and program algorithms with suspend/resume capability, while RY/BY# provides real-time status feedback for system-level timing coordination.
The VersatileI/O™ interface decouples I/O voltage (VIO) from core supply (VCC), enabling interoperability with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V logic domains without level-shifting. Sector protection employs both persistent lock bits and password-based methods, with WP#/ACC serving dual roles: hardware write protection and VHH-accelerated programming during production.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Page Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256S11FFIV10 | Same density and package, but uses 65 nm Eclipse process; 100K erase cycles, 20-year retention, 100 ns random access | Lacks Secured Silicon Sector and CFI compliance; no password protection | Select when lower cost and legacy design compatibility outweigh security and configurability needs |
| MX29GL256FHI-11G | 256 Mbit, 110 ns access, 64-ball BGA, but requires separate VCC/VIO supplies and lacks VersatileI/O™ voltage flexibility | No secured silicon sector; only persistent sector lock (no password method) | Choose for designs already committed to Macronix ecosystem and where VIO independence is not required |
Compared with S29GL256S11FFIV10 and MX29GL256FHI-11G, the S29GL256P11FFIV13 uniquely combines CFI compliance, dual-sector protection methods, and VersatileI/O™-enabling secure, mixed-voltage, auto-configurable flash deployment in next-generation industrial and automotive platforms.

FAQ
What is the function of the WP#/ACC pin on S29GL256P11FFIV13?
The WP#/ACC pin serves two distinct functions: when held low (VIL), it hardware-protects the highest or lowest sector from accidental program/erase; when driven to VHH (~11.5 V), it activates Accelerated Programming mode and automatically enters Unlock Bypass, reducing sequential word programming time by eliminating repeated unlock commands. Internal pull-up ensures safe default behavior when unconnected.
Does S29GL256P11FFIV13 support byte-wide data access?
Yes. The BYTE# input selects bus width: when pulled low, the device operates in byte mode with DQ0–DQ7 active and DQ15/A-1 repurposed as the LSB address line (A-1); when high, it operates in 16-bit word mode with DQ0–DQ15 active. This enables flexible integration with 8-bit microcontrollers or 16-bit processors without external glue logic.
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 contains an 8-word Electronic Serial Number (ESN) that can be factory- or customer-programmed and permanently locked. Unlike standard sectors, it cannot be erased or reprogrammed after locking, providing immutable device identity for anti-counterfeiting and secure key binding in certified systems.
Can S29GL256P11FFIV13 operate with VIO = 1.8 V while VCC = 3.3 V?
Yes. The VersatileI/O™ architecture explicitly supports VIO from 1.65 V to VCC, so VIO = 1.8 V and VCC = 3.3 V is a valid configuration. All address, control, and data I/O levels track VIO, allowing direct connection to 1.8 V FPGAs or ASICs while maintaining full 3.3 V core performance - verified in the datasheet's VersatileIO VIO operating range specifications.
