Product details
Overview
S29GL256S10FAIV10 from Spansion is a 256-Mbit (32 MB) 3.0 V-only page-mode NOR Flash memory IC fabricated on 65 nm MirrorBit Eclipse process technology, featuring 100 ns random access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and Fortified BGA package (LAA064, 11 mm × 13 mm). It supports sector protection, password-protected boot-block locking, and is used in firmware storage for network routers and industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S10FAIV10 datasheet, S29GL256S10FAIV10 pinout, S29GL256S10FAIV10 application, or S29GL256S10FAIV10 equivalent, key selection criteria include VIO/VCC voltage flexibility (1.65–3.6 V I/O with 2.7–3.6 V core), sector protection granularity, embedded erase/program algorithms, and industrial-grade reliability under extended thermal cycling.
Technical Context
This device implements a synchronous/asynchronous dual-mode interface with address/data multiplexing, supporting standard CFI-compliant command sets for read, program, and block erase operations. It integrates hardware-based sector protection (top/bottom configuration), persistent DYB (Device-Protect Bit) state control, and optional Read/PPB Password Mode for secure firmware update paths.
The 65 nm MirrorBit Eclipse architecture enables single-bit-per-cell storage with two-bit-per-cell capability via charge-trap technology, delivering higher density and improved endurance over planar floating-gate NOR. Embedded algorithms execute erase suspend/resume and program suspend/resume without external controller intervention.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256S90FAIV10 | 90 ns access time (vs. 100 ns); otherwise identical voltage, package, and feature set. | Preferred where boot latency must be minimized in time-critical embedded boot paths. | Select for faster read throughput when system timing margin is constrained. |
| S29GL256S10FAIV20 | Same speed and package, but uses Model Number V2 (lowest-address sector protected) instead of V1 (highest-address protected). | Required when legacy firmware layout mandates protection of lower boot sectors rather than upper parameter blocks. | Choose when matching existing PCB layout and firmware partitioning scheme that assumes bottom-sector lock. |
Compared with S29GL256S90FAIV10, this part trades 10 ns read speed for broader compatibility with legacy timing budgets; compared with S29GL256S10FAIV20, it provides top-sector protection alignment essential for newer boot-loader architectures using upper-sector reserved regions.

FAQ
What is the VIO voltage range supported by S29GL256S10FAIV10?
The device supports VIO from 1.65 V up to VCC, with VCC specified from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. This allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic families while maintaining full 3.3 V core functionality. The VIO pin must be powered independently and cannot float or be tied to ground. Valid operation requires VIO ≥ 1.65 V and VIO ≤ VCC at all times.
Does S29GL256S10FAIV10 support CFI (Common Flash Interface)?
Yes, it fully complies with the JEDEC JESD68-A CFI specification. The device responds to CFI query commands at address 0x55, returning standardized parameter tables including geometry, command set, and timing information. This enables automatic detection and configuration by bootloader software and flash programming tools without hard-coded assumptions.
How many program/erase cycles is S29GL256S10FAIV10 rated for?
The device is rated for a minimum of 100,000 program/erase cycles per sector, verified across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Endurance is maintained with proper command sequencing and adherence to datasheet-specified voltage and timing margins; no external wear-leveling controller is required due to on-chip algorithmic optimization.
Is the LAA064 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the LAA064 Fortified BGA package is Pb-free and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS. All solder balls use SnAgCu (SAC305) alloy, and the substrate meets halogen-free requirements (<900 ppm Cl + Br). Certificate of Compliance is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
