Product details
Overview
S29GL256S11DHVV20 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 firmware retention.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S11DHVV20 datasheet, S29GL256S11DHVV20 pinout, S29GL256S11DHVV20 application, or S29GL256S11DHVV20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128 kB uniform sector erase granularity, 512-byte programming buffer throughput (1.5 MBps), Versatile I/O support (1.65–3.6 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 command-set-based protection via status register and sector lock bits.
The internal architecture includes dedicated erase voltage and program voltage generators, a state machine-driven command interpreter, and hardware-accelerated ECC logic that automatically corrects single-bit errors during read and verifies integrity during write. Sector protection supports volatile (lock-down via command) and non-volatile (permanent bit-setting) methods per 128 kB sector.
Key Specifications

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 timing, but uses 64-ball LAE FBGA (9 mm × 9 mm); lacks OTP array and ASP non-volatile lock bits | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics where sector-level permanent lock is unnecessary | Select when footprint compatibility with LAE package is required and OTP/security features are not needed |
| N25Q256A13ESE40F | 256 Mb quad SPI interface; 133 MHz clock, no parallel bus; no hardware ECC or OTP; supports 4-byte addressing | Designed for space-constrained designs using SPI-only host interfaces; requires driver abstraction layer | Select when board layout favors serial interface and host MCU supports QSPI with XIP extensions |
Compared with S29GL256P11TFIV20, this part adds OTP and non-volatile sector locking for enhanced security; compared with N25Q256A13ESE40F, it offers deterministic parallel latency and integrated ECC but requires more PCB area and routing complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for S29GL256S11DHVV20?
This part is rated for Industrial Plus grade (–40°C to +105°C), verified per Infineon's datasheet revision *U. It meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for automotive under-hood use, with thermal derating applied above 85°C ambient per JEDEC JESD22-A108.
Does S29GL256S11DHVV20 support common flash interface (CFI)?
Yes-it implements a full CFI parameter table accessible via standard command sequences (0x98 at address 0x55). The table reports geometry, voltage, timing, and command set details, enabling automatic detection and configuration by host bootloaders and flash programmers.
Can S29GL256S11DHVV20 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 standards, and timing parameters (e.g., tOE = 35 ns) remain valid per datasheet Table 2-2.
How is the 1024-byte OTP array organized and protected?
The OTP array consists of two independently lockable 512-byte regions. Each region can be permanently locked via dedicated command sequence (0x60 → 0xD0), after which further programming or erasure is blocked. Lock status is readable via status register bit SR[6], and once locked, cannot be reversed.
