Product details
Overview
S29GL256S10TFA023 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB), 16-bit parallel, 3.0 V core MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse flash memory with 90 ns random access time, 15 ns page access time, and integrated hardware ECC for single-bit error correction. It operates across –40°C to +105°C (Industrial Plus grade), supports 128-kbyte uniform sector erase, and features a 512-byte programming buffer for accelerated write throughput in embedded boot code storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S10TFA023 datasheet, S29GL256S10TFA023 pinout, S29GL256S10TFA023 application, or S29GL256S10TFA023 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Versatile I/O (1.65 V–VCC), asynchronous page-mode read capability, OTP array with dual lockable regions, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, and support for suspend/resume during program/erase operations.
Technical Context
This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with word-aligned addressing (A0–A23), requiring no clock signal. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) handles all program/erase sequences autonomously, including automatic ECC generation and verification on every write/erase cycle.
The architecture uses 65-nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse technology with a 32-byte page-aligned read path and 128-kbyte uniform sector organization. Status monitoring is supported via status register, data polling, and RY/BY# pin - enabling deterministic host-side operation control without timing dependency on internal flash latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 256 Mb (32 MB); supports full firmware image storage for mid-complexity microcontrollers. |
| Random Access Time | 90 ns at VCC = VIO; enables direct XIP execution from flash with minimal CPU stall cycles. |
| Page Access Time | 15 ns; allows rapid sequential reads within same 32-byte aligned page for instruction fetch bursts. |
| Programming Buffer | 512 bytes; reduces effective programming time by batching up to 256 words per command, minimizing bus arbitration overhead. |
| ECC Support | On-die hardware single-bit error correction; eliminates need for external ECC logic or software overhead in safety-critical systems. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention; validated for long-lifecycle industrial and automotive deployments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +105°C (Industrial Plus grade); qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood automotive ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin TSOP (Type I, standard thin small outline package) with 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-141AC compliant. Pin layout optimized for high-speed parallel bus routing with dedicated CE#, OE#, WE#, and RY/BY# control signals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A23 | Address Inputs | 24-bit word-aligned address bus; A23 is MSB for 256 Mb density (32 MB × 16-bit). |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; supports both read and write transfers on same pins. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device power state and enables internal logic only when asserted. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low read strobe; gates output drivers without affecting internal state or timing. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates internal program/erase commands when combined with address/data setup. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status indicator; low = device busy, high = ready for next command or read. |
| VCC | Core Supply | 3.0 V ±0.3 V supply for core logic and memory array; supports single-supply operation. |
| VIO | I/O Supply | 1.65 V to VCC; enables interoperability with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V host interfaces without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P10TFI010 | Same density and pinout, but Industrial grade (–40°C to +85°C) and no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Lacks automotive temperature and reliability validation; unsuitable for under-hood deployment. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature or automotive compliance needs. |
| MX29GL256FHT2I-90G | Macronix 256 Mb parallel NOR with 90 ns access, but no integrated ECC and only 10,000 erase cycles. | Requires external ECC implementation and has lower endurance; not recommended for safety-critical logging. | Consider only for legacy designs where ECC is handled in software and lifetime requirements are <5 years. |
Compared with S29GL256P10TFI010 and MX29GL256FHT2I-90G, the S29GL256S10TFA023 uniquely delivers AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, on-die ECC, and 10× higher endurance - making it the only option suitable for automotive safety-critical boot storage without external redundancy.

FAQ
Is S29GL256S10TFA023 pin-compatible with earlier S29GL256N or S29GL256P variants?
No. While functionally similar, S29GL256S uses a revised command set and enhanced status reporting logic. The TSOP pinout matches S29GL256P, but differences in RY/BY# behavior and OTP lock sequencing require firmware validation before drop-in replacement.
Does this device support synchronous read mode or require external clocking?
No. S29GL256S10TFA023 is strictly asynchronous - all read, program, and erase operations are controlled solely by CE#, OE#, and WE# timing without any clock input. Page-mode reads rely on address transitions, not clock edges.
Can the 1024-byte OTP array be reprogrammed after initial lock?
No. Once either OTP region is locked via the dedicated lock-bit command sequence, that region becomes permanently read-only. Unlocking is not supported; design must allocate and program OTP contents prior to final lock activation.
What is the maximum sustained write bandwidth using the 512-byte programming buffer?
At optimal conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C), the device achieves up to 1.5 MBps effective programming rate for full-buffer writes, translating to ~340 µs per 512-byte buffer load - confirmed in Section 2 of the datasheet's Performance Summary table.
