Product details
Overview
S29GL256S11TFV020 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB), 16-bit parallel NOR flash memory using 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse technology, with 90 ns random access time, 15 ns page access time, and single 3.0 V supply (2.7–3.6 V) for read/program/erase - deployed in industrial embedded systems for firmware storage and boot code execution.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S11TFV020 datasheet, S29GL256S11TFV020 pinout, S29GL256S11TFV020 application, or S29GL256S11TFV020 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128 kB uniform sector erase granularity, internal hardware ECC for single-bit correction, 100,000 program/erase cycles, and Versatile I/O support (1.65–3.6 V).
Technical Context
This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with ×16 data bus and word-aligned addressing, supporting both standard random reads and 32-byte page-mode reads to reduce latency for sequential accesses within the same page. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) manages all program and erase operations autonomously, including suspend/resume capability and status reporting via status register, data polling, or RY/BY# pin.
The flash integrates advanced sector protection (ASP) with volatile and non-volatile lock options per sector, plus a dedicated 1024-byte OTP array split into two lockable regions. It complies with Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification and supports AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) operation when configured for automotive use.

FAQ
Does S29GL256S11TFV020 support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, it supports true XIP operation due to its 90 ns random access time and asynchronous parallel interface. The device delivers full 16-bit words on every read cycle without requiring prefetch or caching, enabling direct CPU instruction fetch from flash memory in microcontroller-based systems.
What is the function of the VIO pin, and how does it differ from VCC?
VIO supplies power exclusively to the input/output buffer circuitry and can operate independently from VCC across 1.65 V to 3.6 V. This allows interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V host processors while maintaining 3.0 V core operation, eliminating level-shifters in mixed-voltage designs.
How is the 1024-byte OTP array structured and secured?
The OTP array consists of two independently lockable 512-byte regions. Once locked via dedicated CFI commands, each region becomes permanently read-only. Locking is irreversible and provides hardware-enforced protection for calibration data, cryptographic keys, or serial numbers against overwrite or tampering.
Can S29GL256S11TFV020 be used in automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
Yes - when ordered with automotive-grade suffixes (e.g., "-A" or "-B"), it meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) qualification. The specific part S29GL256S11TFV020 is rated for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C), but shares identical die and test flow with automotive variants.
