Product details
Overview
S29GL256S11DHIV20 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) parallel NOR flash memory IC with 16-bit data bus, fabricated on 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse technology. 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 - deployed in automotive instrument clusters requiring fast XIP boot code execution.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S11DHIV20 datasheet, S29GL256S11DHIV20 pinout, S29GL256S11DHIV20 application, or S29GL256S11DHIV20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128 kB uniform sector erase granularity, 512-byte programming buffer throughput (1.5 MBps), Versatile I/O support (1.65 V to VCC), 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 program/erase operations autonomously, including suspend/resume capability and status reporting via status register, data polling, or RY/BY# pin.
The flash array is organized into uniform 128 kB sectors, each individually erasable, and includes a dedicated 1024-byte OTP array split into two lockable regions. Internal hardware ECC corrects single-bit errors on-the-fly during read, with ECC status accessible via dedicated ASO address space.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 256 Mb (32 MB), mapped as 223 × 16-bit words - supports full firmware image storage for mid-tier automotive ECUs. |
| Random Access Time | 90 ns at VCC = VIO - enables sub-11 MHz bus timing for legacy microcontroller interfaces without wait states. |
| Page Access Time | 15 ns - allows burst reads of up to 32 bytes within same page, accelerating sequential instruction fetch in XIP mode. |
| Programming Buffer | 512 bytes - reduces effective programming time by batching writes; achieves 1.5 MBps sustained write rate. |
| ECC Support | On-die single-bit error correction - eliminates need for external ECC logic or software overhead in safety-critical boot memory. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention - meets long-life requirements for automotive infotainment and ADAS modules. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +105°C (AEC-Q100 Grade 2) - qualified for under-hood and display module deployment. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, VIO = 1.65 V to VCC - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin TSOP (Type I, 400 mil width), JEDEC MO-141AC compliant. Pin count and physical layout match industry-standard parallel NOR footprint for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A23 | Address Inputs | 24-bit word-aligned address bus; A23 is MSB for 256 Mb density (223 words). |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; supports high-speed page reads and buffered programming. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low enable controlling device selection; tCE = 90 ns max defines minimum chip select assertion window. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low control for data output gating; tOE = 25 ns max ensures timely read data validity. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write/program/erase commands; latched with address/data for command decoding. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status indicator: low = operation in progress, high = ready - used for polling-free interrupt-driven control. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset that halts ongoing operations and returns device to read mode. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Hardware sector protection enable; when asserted, prevents accidental program/erase of protected sectors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse process | Enables higher density and lower power vs. older 90 nm NOR, with improved reliability for automotive thermal cycling. |
| Asynchronous 32-byte page read | Reduces average instruction fetch latency in XIP applications by >80% compared to full random access. |
| 512-byte programming buffer | Allows one command to program up to 256 words, cutting total programming time by ~5× vs. single-word writes. |
| Internal hardware ECC | Corrects single-bit errors transparently during read, eliminating software ECC overhead and improving boot-time predictability. |
| Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) | Supports volatile (power-on default) and non-volatile (permanent) locking per 128 kB sector - critical for bootloader partitioning. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P11TFIV20 | Same density and core specs, but uses 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm) instead of TSOP. | Requires PCB redesign for BGA routing and reflow profile; better for space-constrained, high-vibration environments. | Select when board area is constrained and thermal/mechanical robustness outweighs ease of prototyping. |
| MX29GL256FHT2I-90G | Macronix part with 90 ns access, but no integrated hardware ECC and only 10,000 erase cycles. | Lacks on-die ECC and lower endurance limit it to non-safety-critical consumer or industrial use. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability and functional safety requirements. |
Compared with S29GL256P11TFIV20, this TSOP variant offers easier hand-soldering and legacy socket compatibility; versus MX29GL256FHT2I-90G, it delivers verified ECC, 10× endurance, and AEC-Q100 qualification - essential for automotive and medical deployments.

FAQ
What is the difference between S29GL256S11DHIV20 and S29GL256S11DHIV10?
The suffix 'V20' indicates AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (–40°C to +105°C), while 'V10' denotes Grade 3 (–40°C to +85°C). Both share identical electrical specs and pinout, but V20 is validated for higher-temperature under-hood automotive use with additional reliability testing per AEC-Q100 stress requirements.
Does S29GL256S11DHIV20 support byte-level writes?
No - it is a 16-bit word-wide device with no byte-write capability. All write operations occur on 16-bit boundaries; DQ0–DQ15 must be driven simultaneously, and unaligned accesses require software masking or external glue logic to emulate byte writes.
Can the OTP array be reprogrammed after locking?
No - once either of the two 512-byte OTP regions is permanently locked via the appropriate command sequence, its contents become read-only and cannot be altered, erased, or reprogrammed, even with power cycle or reset.
Is hardware reset (RESET#) required before power-up?
No - the device includes internal power-on reset (POR) circuitry that automatically initializes the state machine upon VCC ramp. RESET# is optional and used only for synchronous recovery from error conditions or forced return to read mode during active operations.
