Product details
Overview
S29GL256S11TFIV20 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-used in boot code storage and firmware execution in industrial control and automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S11TFIV20 datasheet, S29GL256S11TFIV20 pinout, S29GL256S11TFIV20 application, or S29GL256S11TFIV20 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 and page-mode reads. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) manages program/erase operations-including suspend/resume-and enforces sector-level protection via volatile/non-volatile ASP and OTP lockable regions.
The internal architecture includes dedicated erase voltage and programming voltage generators, status register monitoring, and three status determination methods: data polling, status register read, and RY/BY# pin assertion. ECC logic operates transparently during read cycles without software intervention.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P11TFIV20 | Same density and package, but uses older 90 nm process; 110 ns random access, no Versatile I/O (VIO fixed to VCC) | Lacks mixed-voltage support and has slower read performance; not qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 2 | Select only if legacy board compatibility or cost sensitivity outweighs performance and automotive qualification needs. |
| MX29GL256FHT2I-90G | Macronix 256 Mb parallel NOR; 90 ns access, 1.7–3.6 V VIO range, but no integrated ECC or OTP array | Requires external ECC implementation and lacks secure key storage; supports same industrial temp range | Choose when lower unit cost is critical and system-level ECC can be implemented in host processor firmware. |
Compared with S29GL256P11TFIV20, this part adds Versatile I/O flexibility and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 support; versus MX29GL256FHT2I-90G, it provides hardware ECC and OTP security-critical for functional safety and secure boot architectures.

FAQ
Does S29GL256S11TFIV20 support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes. The device supports true XIP with 90 ns random access time and page-mode reads, enabling CPU instruction fetch directly from flash without copying to RAM. Its asynchronous interface and deterministic timing allow tight integration with ARM Cortex-M and Power Architecture-based boot ROMs.
What is the function of the STB pin on S29GL256S11TFIV20?
The STB (Standby) pin is not present on S29GL256S11TFIV20. This part uses CE# and VCC-controlled power-down mode instead. The STB signal appears only in earlier GL-N generation devices; GL-S relies on CE# deassertion and automatic deep power-down entry after 100 µs of inactivity.
Can the OTP array be reprogrammed after initial programming?
No. The 1024-byte OTP array is permanently programmable once written. Each of its two lockable regions can be individually secured via dedicated lock bits; after locking, no further writes or erases are possible-even with elevated voltage or command sequences.
How does the Versatile I/O feature affect timing specifications?
Versatile I/O introduces two timing modes: "Full VCC = VIO" (tighter specs: 90 ns tACC) and "VersatileIO VIO" (relaxed specs: 100 ns tACC). When VIO differs from VCC, AC parameters scale per the datasheet's VersatileIO column-requiring host timing margins to accommodate the slower mode if mixed-voltage operation is used.
