Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90DHA020 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 systems.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90DHA020 datasheet, S29GL256S90DHA020 pinout, S29GL256S90DHA020 application, or S29GL256S90DHA020 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128 kB uniform sector erase granularity, 512-byte write buffer, Versatile I/O (1.65 V to VCC), AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, and TSOP-56 packaging compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with word-aligned addressing (A0–A23), supports XIP-capable read operations via 32-byte page mode (15 ns intra-page access), and embeds a state-machine-based Embedded Algorithm Controller (EAC) for autonomous program/erase execution without host intervention.
It features dual-voltage I/O support (VIO = 1.65 V to VCC), hardware-assisted ECC covering all array reads, and configurable sector protection including volatile/non-volatile lock bits plus a dedicated 1024-byte OTP array with two lockable regions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P11TFI010 | Same density and architecture but uses 64-ball LAE FBGA (9 mm × 9 mm); lacks AEC-Q100 qualification | Preferred for space-constrained consumer or networking designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Select when board layout favors BGA over TSOP and industrial temp range suffices |
| MX29GL256FHT2I-90G | Macronix part with identical 256 Mb density, 90 ns access, and TSOP-56 package; no integrated ECC or OTP array | Lower-cost option where external ECC handling is acceptable and secure key storage is not required | Choose for cost-sensitive applications with existing ECC software stack and no security mandates |
Compared with S29GL256P11TFI010, this TSOP-packaged variant offers automotive-grade reliability and integrated ECC; versus MX29GL256FHT2I-90G, it adds hardware error correction and secure OTP-critical for safety-certified systems.

FAQ
Is S29GL256S90DHA020 pin-compatible with earlier S29GL256N or S29GL256P variants?
No. While functionally similar, S29GL256S90DHA020 uses a revised command set and timing model optimized for 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse technology. Pinout matches TSOP-56 packages, but CE#/OE#/WE# setup/hold timing and status reporting differ-migration requires firmware validation and timing margin review per Rev. *U datasheet Section 11.4.
Does the hardware ECC cover the entire memory array including the CFI and OTP regions?
Yes. The internal ECC engine applies to all read operations across the main flash array, CFI parameter table, and both lockable regions of the 1024-byte OTP array. ECC syndrome generation and correction occur transparently during every read cycle without host intervention or additional latency.
Can the Versatile I/O feature be used to interface directly with a 1.8 V FPGA I/O bank?
Yes. With VIO supplied at 1.8 V and VCC at 3.0 V, the device accepts 1.8 V logic levels on address/data/control pins and drives outputs compatible with 1.8 V receivers. DC characteristics in Section 10.5 confirm VIH min = 0.7×VIO and VOL max = 0.2×VIO under these conditions.
What is the minimum sector erase time and how is it verified?
The typical sector erase time is 477 ms for a 128 kB sector at +25°C, with maximum specified at 1.5 s per sector. Verification is performed internally by the Embedded Algorithm Controller using voltage threshold sensing and timeout monitoring; status is reported via RY/BY#, status register bit 7 (Erase Suspend), and data polling on DQ7.
