Product details
Overview
S29GL256P11TFI013 from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Mbit (32 MB) 3.0 V-only Page Mode 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 (3.0–3.6 V). It supports VersatileI/O™ with VIO range 1.65–VCC, includes a 32-word/64-byte write buffer, and integrates Secured Silicon Sector for factory- or customer-programmable 128-word electronic serial number - deployed in industrial embedded boot code storage and firmware update systems.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256P11TFI013 datasheet, S29GL256P11TFI013 pinout, S29GL256P11TFI013 application, or S29GL256P11TFI013 equivalent, key selection criteria include sector erase endurance (100,000 cycles), data retention (20 years), WP#/ACC acceleration capability, CFI compliance, and dual-package availability (TSOP-56 / Fortified BGA-64) across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/asynchronous hybrid command-set architecture with dedicated state control logic, internal voltage generators for erase (VPP) and program (VHH), and hardware reset (RESET#) with automatic recovery to read mode. Its block diagram reveals independent X/Y decoders, sector switching matrix, and RY/BY# status feedback tied directly to embedded algorithm completion detection.
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 host buses while maintaining full 3.0 V core operation. Sector protection employs both persistent lock bits and password-based software methods, with WP#/ACC serving dual roles: hardware write protection of top/bottom sector and VHH-triggered programming acceleration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Mbit (32 MB), organized as 256 × 64 Kword sectors - enables full firmware image storage for mid-tier microcontrollers. |
| Page Access Time | 25 ns - reduces latency during burst instruction fetch from sequential flash pages. |
| Random Access Time | 110 ns at regulated VCC (3.0–3.6 V) - defines worst-case single-instruction fetch delay in non-sequential execution. |
| Write Buffer Capacity | 32 words (64 bytes) - allows single-command multi-word programming, cutting effective per-word time to 15 µs (VCC) or 13.5 µs (VHH). |
| Erase Endurance | 100,000 cycles per sector - supports field firmware updates over 10+ years in industrial gateways. |
| Data Retention | 20 years typical - ensures long-term reliability without refresh in unpowered storage applications. |
| Operating Voltage | VCC = 2.7–3.6 V; VIO = 1.65–VCC - permits flexible I/O interfacing while maintaining stable core logic operation. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial) - qualified for deployment in outdoor telecom equipment and factory automation controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP), standard pinout (TSO56), lead-free (Pb-free) construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A23–A0 | Address Inputs | 24-bit address bus supporting full 256 Mbit addressing; A23 is MSB for this density. |
| DQ15–DQ0 | Data I/O (Word Mode) | 16-bit bidirectional data path; DQ15/A-1 serves as LSB address in byte mode when BYTE# = VIL. |
| CE#, OE#, WE# | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Standard asynchronous SRAM-like control signals; CE# gating enables low-power standby when inactive. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating active program/erase; used for polling or interrupt-driven status monitoring. |
| WP#/ACC | Write Protect / Acceleration Input | At VIL: locks top/bottom sector; at VHH: enables unlock-bypass mode for accelerated programming in production. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset Input | Asynchronous active-low reset that forces device into read array mode, clearing pending operations. |
| VIO | Versatile I/O Supply | Independent voltage reference for all I/O pins; sets input thresholds and output drive levels regardless of VCC. |
| BYTE# | Bus Width Select | Configures interface as 8-bit (DQ0–DQ7 active) or 16-bit (DQ0–DQ15 active); critical for legacy 8-bit microcontroller compatibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 90 nm MirrorBit Process | Enables higher density and lower power vs. older floating-gate technologies, reducing active read current to 30 mA @ 5 MHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Page Mode Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29GL256FHI-11G | 110 ns random access, same 256 Mbit density and TSOP-56 package, but uses 65 nm process and lacks Secured Silicon Sector. | No factory-programmable ESN; relies on external secure element for device identity. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for on-chip secure serialization and advanced protection features. |
| S29GL256S11TFI020 | Same Cypress S29GL-P family, identical specs except model number "020" denotes lowest-address sector protection (vs. "013" = highest-address protection). | Hardware WP# behavior differs: protects bottom sector instead of top sector; requires PCB-level signal routing adjustment. | Choose only if system design mandates write protection of boot sector located at lowest memory address. |
Compared with MX29GL256FHI-11G, S29GL256P11TFI013 provides integrated secure identity and stronger sector protection, while S29GL256S11TFI020 offers identical performance with inverted hardware write-protect polarity - both require validation of WP# routing and security architecture fit.

FAQ
What is the function of the VIO pin on S29GL256P11TFI013?
VIO sets the voltage reference for all input thresholds and output drive levels of address, control, and data pins. It operates independently from VCC within 1.65 V to VCC, enabling direct interfacing with 1.8 V or 2.5 V host processors while maintaining full 3.0 V core functionality and performance specifications.
Does S29GL256P11TFI013 support both byte and word data configurations?
Yes. The BYTE# pin selects bus width: when pulled low, DQ0–DQ7 are active for 8-bit operation and DQ15/A-1 becomes the LSB address; when high, DQ0–DQ15 operate as a 16-bit data bus. This dual-mode capability ensures compatibility with legacy 8-bit microcontrollers and modern 16-bit interfaces.
How does the Secured Silicon Sector work in practice?
The Secured Silicon Sector is a dedicated 128-word (256-byte) region pre-programmed with a unique 8-word (16-byte) Electronic Serial Number at the factory. Customers can permanently lock it using a dedicated command sequence, making the ESN read-only and tamper-resistant - used for device authentication, license binding, and anti-counterfeiting in certified systems.
Can S29GL256P11TFI013 be used in place of older S29GL256N devices?
No. Although both are 256 Mbit flash devices, S29GL256P uses 90 nm MirrorBit technology with different command sets, timing parameters, and protection mechanisms. Pin compatibility exists, but register maps, CFI query responses, and WP#/ACC behavior differ - migration requires full firmware revalidation and timing margin analysis.
