Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90DHA013 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB), 16-bit parallel NOR flash memory using 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse technology, operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V with 90 ns random access time and 15 ns page access time. It integrates hardware ECC for single-bit correction, 128-kbyte uniform sectors, and a 512-byte write buffer - deployed in automotive instrument clusters requiring fast XIP boot code execution and robust data logging.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90DHA013 datasheet, S29GL256S90DHA013 pinout, S29GL256S90DHA013 application, or S29GL256S90DHA013 equivalent, this device supports asynchronous read, suspend/resume programming/erase, versatile I/O (1.65 V–VCC), OTP lockable regions, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (–40°C to +105°C).
Technical Context
This GL-S series flash implements an embedded algorithm controller (EAC) that automates program, erase, and verify sequences without host intervention. It uses word-aligned addressing (A0–A23), 32-byte page reads, and supports both single-word and multi-word programming within the same sector.
The device features dual protection mechanisms: volatile Advanced Sector Protection (ASP) and non-volatile sector locking, plus a dedicated 1024-byte OTP array split into two independently lockable regions. Status monitoring is available via status register, data polling, or RY/BY# pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 256 Mb (32 MB), organized as 2,097,152 × 16-bit words - enables full firmware storage for mid-tier automotive ECUs. |
| Access time | 90 ns random access, 15 ns page access - meets real-time boot latency requirements for safety-critical systems. |
| Write buffer size | 512 bytes (256 words) - reduces effective programming time by >3× vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| ECC capability | On-die hardware single-bit error correction - eliminates need for external ECC logic in ASIL-B designs. |
| Endurance & retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles; 20-year data retention - validated for 15-year vehicle lifecycle deployments. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +105°C (AEC-Q100 Grade 2) - qualified for under-hood engine control and transmission modules. |
| I/O voltage range | VIO = 1.65 V to VCC - allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin TSOP (Type I, 14 mm × 20 mm, 0.55 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A23 | Address inputs | 24-bit word address bus (A23 = MSB); supports full 32 MB address space with no byte lanes. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; operates at VIO voltage, compatible with 1.8 V or 3.3 V controllers. |
| CE# | Chip enable | Active-low chip select; controls device power state and enables low-standby current (100 µA). |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low read strobe; gates output drivers during asynchronous read operations. |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low control for write/program/erase command latching; synchronous with CE# and OE# timing. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy indicator | Open-drain output; low during embedded operations (program/erase), high when ready for next command. |
| RESET# | Hardware reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; forces device into reading ID mode and aborts ongoing operations. |
| WP# | Write protect | Hardware sector protection enable; when asserted, blocks program/erase of protected sectors regardless of software locks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P90DHA010 | Same density and package, but lacks OTP array and ASP non-volatile locking; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Targeted at industrial/commercial systems without security or automotive certification needs. | Select only if OTP, ASP, or Grade 2 thermal performance are not required. |
| MX29GL256FHI-90G | 256 Mb parallel NOR with 90 ns access, but uses 45 nm process, no on-die ECC, and only 10k endurance cycles. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where ECC and long-term reliability are secondary. | Choose only for non-safety-critical, short-lifecycle products with lower data integrity requirements. |
Compared with S29GL256P90DHA010 and MX29GL256FHI-90G, the S29GL256S90DHA013 uniquely delivers AEC-Q100 Grade 2 operation, hardware ECC, and OTP-based secure key storage - making it the sole choice for functional safety and cybersecurity-critical automotive firmware storage.

FAQ
Is S29GL256S90DHA013 pin-compatible with earlier S29GL256P variants?
No. While both use 56-pin TSOP, S29GL256S90DHA013 adds dedicated OTP lock control and enhanced ASP registers not present in S29GL256P. Pin functions match, but software initialization and protection sequences differ due to added security features and ECC status reporting.
Does this device support burst read or synchronous interface modes?
No. S29GL256S90DHA013 is strictly asynchronous and does not support burst, QSPI, or DDR modes. It supports only standard parallel NOR protocols: asynchronous read, page-mode read (32-byte alignment), and command-set-driven program/erase.
What is the minimum VIO voltage supported during active read operations?
The minimum VIO is 1.65 V per datasheet specification. At VIO = 1.65 V and VCC = 3.0 V, random access time degrades to 100 ns and page access to 25 ns - verified across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Can the OTP region be reprogrammed after initial lock?
No. Once either OTP lock bit is set (via specific unlock/lock command sequence), that 512-byte region becomes permanently read-only. The lock is irreversible and enforced by on-die fuse logic - no software or voltage-based override exists.
