Product details
Overview
S29GL256S10FHI020 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) parallel NOR flash memory IC with 16-bit data bus, fabricated on 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse process. It operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply, delivers 90 ns random access time and 15 ns page access time, and integrates hardware ECC for single-bit error correction. It is used in boot code storage for industrial microcontrollers requiring fast XIP execution and reliable non-volatile program retention.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S10FHI020 datasheet, S29GL256S10FHI020 pinout, S29GL256S10FHI020 application, or S29GL256S10FHI020 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128 kB uniform sector erase granularity, 512-byte write buffer throughput (1.5 MBps), Versatile I/O support (1.65–3.6 V), OTP array for secure configuration, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (–40°C to +105°C).
Technical Context
This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with word-aligned addressing (A0–A23), supporting both standard read and 32-byte page mode reads. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) manages all program/erase operations-including suspend/resume-and enforces automatic ECC during read cycles.
The flash array is organized into uniform 128 kB sectors, each individually lockable via Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) using volatile or non-volatile methods. The integrated 1024-byte OTP array contains two separately lockable regions for immutable firmware keys or calibration data.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256S10TFI020 | Same die, 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm) package instead of 56-pin TSOP | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where board area is critical and BGA assembly is available | Select for high-density routing or thermal performance needs; requires BGA rework capability |
| MX29GL256FHTI-90G | Micron device; 90 ns access, 128 kB sectors, but no integrated hardware ECC or OTP array | Lacks ECC and OTP-requires external error handling and secure provisioning infrastructure | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs ECC/OTP benefits and system-level ECC is already implemented |
Compared with S29GL256S10FHI020, the TSOP variant offers drop-in compatibility with legacy designs, while the BGA alternative trades package flexibility for footprint reduction; the Micron part omits hardware ECC and OTP, increasing software validation burden in safety-critical use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for S29GL256S10FHI020?
This part is qualified to Industrial Plus grade (–40°C to +105°C), verified per Infineon's internal qualification test plan and documented in the 001-98285 Rev. *U datasheet Section 10.4. It meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for automotive applications, including thermal cycling and high-temperature operating life testing.
Does S29GL256S10FHI020 support byte-level writes?
No. The device only supports word-level (16-bit) writes. All program operations require aligned 16-bit data transfers on DQ0–DQ15, and the internal write buffer accepts up to 512 bytes in multiples of 16-bit words. Byte masking or partial-word programming is not supported.
How is the 1024-byte OTP array protected from accidental overwrite?
The OTP array is divided into two independently lockable regions. Once locked via dedicated CFI commands (0x60 followed by 0xD0), the lock becomes permanent and irreversible-even after power cycle or reset. Lock status is readable through the CFI query mode and reflected in the status register.
Can S29GL256S10FHI020 be used with a 1.8 V I/O interface?
Yes. Its Versatile I/O feature supports VIO from 1.65 V to 3.6 V. When VIO = 1.8 V, all input thresholds and output drive levels comply with 1.8 V logic families, and timing parameters (e.g., tCE, tOE) are guaranteed per the "VersatileIO" column in the Performance Summary table (Datasheet p.2).
