Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90DHA010 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) parallel NOR flash memory IC with MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse 65 nm technology, 3.0 V core supply (2.7–3.6 V), ×16 data bus, and 90 ns random access time. It features 512-byte write buffer, internal hardware ECC for single-bit correction, uniform 128-kbyte sectors, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in 56-pin TSOP package. Used in boot code storage for embedded controllers requiring XIP capability and deterministic read latency.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90DHA010 datasheet, S29GL256S90DHA010 pinout, S29GL256S90DHA010 application, or S29GL256S90DHA010 equivalent, key selection criteria include page-mode read performance (15 ns), sector-erase endurance (100,000 cycles), OTP array availability, ASP protection granularity, and Versatile I/O voltage support (1.65 V to VCC).
Technical Context
This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with word-aligned addressing (A0–A23), 32-byte page reads, and embedded algorithm controller (EAC) for autonomous program/erase operations. It uses dual-plane architecture enabling suspend/resume during programming or erasing, and integrates status register, data polling, and RY/BY# pin for real-time operation monitoring.
The internal ECC engine operates transparently during read cycles, correcting single-bit errors without software intervention, while the Common Flash Interface (CFI) table provides standardized JEDEC-compliant identification and timing parameters. Sector protection includes volatile (lock bits) and non-volatile (ASP) methods per 128-kbyte 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P90TFI010 | Same density and timing, but 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm); no TSOP option; slightly higher tACC (100 ns) in Versatile I/O mode. | Targeted at space-constrained automotive modules where board area is prioritized over manual assembly. | Select when PCB layout requires BGA footprint and thermal performance exceeds TSOP limits. |
| MX29GL256FHI-90G | 256 Mb parallel NOR, 90 ns access, but lacks integrated ECC and OTP array; supports only standard sector protection (no ASP). | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where ECC and secure storage are not required. | Choose only if firmware integrity is managed externally and lifecycle cost outweighs reliability features. |
Compared with S29GL256P90TFI010, the S29GL256S90DHA010 offers lower-profile TSOP packaging and tighter 90 ns random access, while versus MX29GL256FHI-90G, it delivers hardware ECC, ASP, and OTP-critical for safety-certified and secure embedded systems.

FAQ
Is S29GL256S90DHA010 pin-compatible with earlier S29GL256N or S29GL256P variants?
No. While functionally similar, S29GL256S90DHA010 uses a 56-pin TSOP package with updated pin assignments for Versatile I/O and enhanced protection signals. Pin mapping differs from S29GL256N (56-pin TSOP, legacy I/O) and S29GL256P (64-ball BGA). Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and firmware timing validation.
Does this device support true XIP (eXecute-In-Place) operation without external caching?
Yes. The 90 ns random access time and asynchronous interface allow direct CPU instruction fetch from flash addresses without intermediate RAM buffering. Verified XIP compatibility exists with ARM Cortex-M7, Renesas RX600, and NXP S32K series when configured for 16-bit bus width and proper wait-state settings.
What is the role of the 1024-byte OTP array, and can it be reprogrammed after locking?
The OTP array is physically one-time programmable: once a lock bit is set, the corresponding 512-byte region cannot be erased or rewritten. It stores immutable data such as cryptographic keys or device serial numbers. Unlocking is impossible-even via high-voltage methods-ensuring permanent data integrity per JEDEC JESD22-A117 specification.
How does the internal ECC interact with the CFI query and status register reporting?
ECC correction occurs transparently during read cycles; corrected data is delivered to the bus without flagging errors. Uncorrectable multi-bit errors trigger the Status Register Bit 4 (ECC Fail) and assert RY/BY# low. CFI tables report ECC capability (CFI Query Offset 0x4E = 0x01), but no separate ECC status register exists-error detection relies solely on Status Register and RY/BY#.
