Product details
Overview
S29GL256P11FFIV22 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Mbit (32 MB), 3.0 V-only page-mode NOR Flash memory fabricated on 90 nm MirrorBit process technology. It delivers 110 ns random access time and 25 ns page access time, features a 32-word/64-byte write buffer, uniform 64 Kword sectors (256 total), and supports CFI for host compatibility - deployed in industrial embedded systems requiring reliable nonvolatile storage with fast firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256P11FFIV22 datasheet, S29GL256P11FFIV22 pinout, S29GL256P11FFIV22 application, or S29GL256P11FFIV22 equivalent, key selection criteria include sector erase endurance (100,000 cycles), data retention (20 years), VersatileI/O™ voltage flexibility (VIO = 1.65–VCC), hardware reset (RESET#), and WP#/ACC dual-function pin behavior under VHH acceleration.
Technical Context
This device operates as a parallel-interface NOR Flash with byte/word configuration controlled by BYTE# input, supporting both standard and page read modes. Its architecture includes an integrated command register, state controller, and erase/program voltage generators enabling autonomous embedded algorithms.
It implements Advanced Sector Protection via persistent bits and password methods, plus a factory- or customer-programmable Secured Silicon Sector (128-word/256-byte) with electronic serial number. The RY/BY# output provides real-time status of active program/erase operations.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29GL256EHTI-90G | 90 nm process, 110 ns access, but lacks VersatileI/O™ - fixed 3.3 V I/O threshold; no VIO pin | Requires level-shifting in mixed-voltage designs; no VIO-based voltage scaling for low-power standby | Select when legacy 3.3 V-only interface is guaranteed and VIO flexibility is unnecessary |
| S29GL256S11FFIV20 | Same die, but 64-ball BGA with different model suffix (V20 = VIO = VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, lowest sector protected) | Identical timing and endurance; differs only in default WP#/ACC protection scope and marking | Choose for systems where lowest-address sector protection aligns with bootloader placement strategy |
Compared with MX29GL256EHTI-90G, S29GL256P11FFIV22 offers superior voltage adaptability and lower system-level BOM cost by eliminating external level shifters; versus S29GL256S11FFIV20, it provides highest-address sector protection - better suited for top-boot configurations in safety-critical firmware.

FAQ
What is the function of the VIO pin on S29GL256P11FFIV22?
The VIO pin sets the voltage reference for all input thresholds and output drive levels, allowing independent configuration from VCC across 1.65 V to VCC. This enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V host processors without external level shifters, reducing board complexity and power consumption in mixed-voltage systems.
Does S29GL256P11FFIV22 support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes - its parallel NOR architecture and 110 ns random access time enable direct code execution from flash memory without copying to RAM. The device supports standard read commands and maintains deterministic timing across the full industrial temperature range, making it suitable for boot ROM and real-time firmware execution in resource-constrained embedded systems.
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 logic. It can be permanently locked at factory or by customer to store immutable identifiers like electronic serial numbers. Unlike standard sectors, it cannot be erased or rewritten once locked, providing hardware-enforced security against cloning or firmware tampering.
Can S29GL256P11FFIV22 be used in place of older S29GL256N devices?
No - S29GL256P uses a 90 nm MirrorBit process with different command sets, timing parameters, and protection mechanisms compared to the 110 nm S29GL256N. Key differences include VIO support, enhanced sector protection, and updated CFI query structure. Migration requires full firmware validation and may need PCB layout changes due to BGA ballout variations.
