Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90FHI013 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) parallel NOR flash memory IC with 16-bit data bus, 3.0 V core supply (2.7–3.6 V), 90 ns random access time, and 15 ns page access time. It implements MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse 65 nm technology, features 512-byte write buffer, hardware ECC for single-bit correction, and uniform 128 kB sectors-used in boot code storage and firmware update in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90FHI013 datasheet, S29GL256S90FHI013 pinout, S29GL256S90FHI013 application, or S29GL256S90FHI013 equivalent, key selection criteria include asynchronous parallel interface timing, sector erase granularity, OTP array availability, Versatile I/O voltage range (1.65–VCC), and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device operates as a non-volatile, word-wide (×16) parallel NOR flash with execute-in-place (XIP) capability. Its architecture supports asynchronous read, page-mode read (32-byte aligned), and buffer programming up to 512 bytes per operation. Internal ECC logic corrects single-bit errors on-the-fly during read cycles.
The embedded algorithm controller handles sector erase, word/multiple-word program, suspend/resume, and status reporting via status register, data polling, or RY/BY# pin. Sector protection includes volatile and non-volatile lock bits per 128 kB sector 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 memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P90TFI010 | Same density and timing, but uses 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm); no TSOP option | Preferred for space-constrained PCB layouts where board area is prioritized over manual assembly feasibility | Select when footprint miniaturization outweighs need for through-hole or hand-solderable package |
| MX29GL256FHTI-90G | Macronix part with identical 256 Mb ×16, 90 ns access, but lacks integrated ECC and OTP array | Requires external error handling and separate secure storage for keys/calibration data | Choose only if cost sensitivity overrides built-in data integrity and security features |
Compared with S29GL256P90TFI010, this TSOP variant offers easier prototyping and thermal management; versus MX29GL256FHTI-90G, it delivers superior system-level reliability through on-die ECC and OTP security-critical for safety-certified designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for S29GL256S90FHI013?
This part is qualified for Industrial Plus grade (–40°C to +105°C), verified per Infineon's internal qualification test plan and documented in the datasheet revision *U. It meets JEDEC JESD22-A108F for temperature cycling and JESD22-A104D for high-temperature operating life at +105°C ambient.
Does S29GL256S90FHI013 support both VCC and VIO power supplies independently?
Yes-it implements Infineon's Versatile I/O feature: VCC powers the core logic (2.7–3.6 V), while VIO supplies the I/O buffers (1.65 V to VCC). This allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V host processors without level shifters, confirmed in Section 8.3 of the datasheet.
How does the 512-byte write buffer improve programming efficiency?
It enables single-command programming of up to 256 words (512 bytes), reducing software overhead and bus arbitration delays. Measured buffer programming rate is 1.5 MBps-3.7× faster than standard word-by-word programming-verified in Table "Embedded Algorithm Performance" on page 46 of the datasheet.
Is the OTP array accessible after device initialization?
Yes-the 1024-byte OTP region is mapped at fixed address offset 0x0000_0000 in the CFI-defined ASO space and remains readable/writable (once unlocked) throughout normal operation. Locking either region permanently disables further writes to that segment, as specified in Section 3.3 and Figure 2-6 of the datasheet.
