Product details
Overview
S29GL256S11FHIV10 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 - deployed in automotive instrument clusters requiring fast XIP boot code execution and reliable firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S11FHIV10 datasheet, S29GL256S11FHIV10 pinout, S29GL256S11FHIV10 application, or S29GL256S11FHIV10 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–VCC), AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (–40°C to +105°C), and OTP array for secure configuration storage.
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 capability and status reporting via status register, data polling, or RY/BY# pin.
The internal architecture includes dedicated erase voltage and program voltage generators, hardware ECC engine covering all array sectors, and a 1024-byte one-time-programmable (OTP) array split into two lockable regions - enabling secure boot configuration and device-specific calibration data storage without external encryption.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Density | 256 Mb (32 MB); supports full firmware image storage for mid-tier automotive ECUs. |
| Random Access Time | 90 ns at VCC = VIO; enables sub-100 ns XIP execution latency critical for real-time boot sequences. |
| Page Access Time | 15 ns; allows rapid sequential instruction fetch within 32-byte aligned pages during runtime code execution. |
| Programming Buffer | 512 bytes; reduces effective programming time by batching writes - essential for field firmware updates. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm, 0.8 mm pitch). Pin assignment validated per Infineon datasheet 001-98285 Rev. *U, Section 12.2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A23 | Address Inputs | 24-bit word-aligned address bus; A23 is MSB for 256 Mb density (2²⁴ × 16 bits = 32 MB). |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; supports byte/word writes and reads per JEDEC-standard parallel NOR protocol. |

| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low read strobe; gates output drivers during read cycles without affecting internal state. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates command latching or data loading during program/erase sequences. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status indicator; low = operation in progress, high = ready for next command. |
| RESET# | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; forces device into known state and aborts ongoing embedded operations. |
| VCC | Core Supply | 2.7–3.6 V single supply powering core logic, memory array, and internal voltage generators. |
| VIO | I/O Supply | 1.65–VCC versatile I/O voltage; decouples interface signaling from core voltage for mixed-voltage system integration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse Technology | Enables higher density and lower power vs. older floating-gate NOR, with improved endurance and retention stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P11TFIV10 | Same density and timing, but TSOP-56 package (vs. LAE BGA); no Versatile I/O (VIO fixed to VCC). | Limited to board-level space-constrained designs where BGA assembly is unavailable or cost-prohibitive. | Select when legacy PCB layout requires through-hole or gull-wing footprint compatibility. |
| MX29GL256FHI-90G | Macronix part; same 256 Mb, 90 ns access, but lacks integrated ECC and OTP array; uses different command set. | Requires external ECC logic and software-managed protection; not suitable for ASIL-B/C systems without redesign. | Consider only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where firmware integrity is managed at software layer. |
Compared with S29GL256P11TFIV10, this LAE BGA variant offers superior thermal performance and Versatile I/O flexibility; versus MX29GL256FHI-90G, it delivers hardware ECC and OTP security out-of-box - reducing validation effort for functional safety certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by S29GL256S11FHIV10?
The device does not operate synchronously and has no clock input; its performance is defined by access times - 90 ns random access and 15 ns page access - which correspond to effective throughput up to ~11 MHz sustained read rate in page mode. Timing compliance is verified under specified load and voltage conditions per datasheet AC characteristics table.
Does S29GL256S11FHIV10 support quad or octal SPI interfaces?
No. This is a parallel-interface NOR flash with a 16-bit DQ bus and asynchronous control signals (CE#, OE#, WE#). It does not implement SPI, QSPI, or Octal SPI protocols. For serial interface alternatives, Infineon's Semper™ family provides SPI-compatible devices with comparable density and ECC features.
How is the 1024-byte OTP array protected against accidental programming?
The OTP region contains two independent lock bits - one for each 512-byte sub-region - that permanently disable further programming once set. Locking is performed via specific unlock-bypass-write command sequences; no hardware fuse is used. Once locked, the region remains read-only across power cycles and temperature extremes.
Can S29GL256S11FHIV10 be used in systems with 1.8 V I/O rails?
Yes. Its Versatile I/O feature supports VIO from 1.65 V to VCC, so with VCC = 3.3 V, it interfaces directly with 1.8 V logic using level-shifting circuitry or compatible 1.8 V tolerant drivers. The datasheet specifies timing parameters for VIO = 1.8 V in the VersatileIO column of the performance summary table.
