Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90GHI010 from Infineon is a 256 Mb (32 MB) parallel NOR flash memory IC using 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse technology, 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 integrates hardware ECC for single-bit correction, 128 kB uniform sector erase, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in 56-pin TSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90GHI010 datasheet, S29GL256S90GHI010 pinout, S29GL256S90GHI010 application, or S29GL256S90GHI010 equivalent, this device delivers deterministic XIP-capable read performance, robust sector-level protection, and buffer-programming efficiency critical for boot code storage and firmware update in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
Technical Context
This parallel NOR flash implements asynchronous interface timing with CE#, OE#, and WE# control signals, supporting both standard word programming and 512-byte buffer programming. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) manages autonomous program/erase operations, status reporting via status register, data polling, and RY/BY# pin, and includes suspend/resume capability for multi-tasking environments.
The device features Versatile I/O (VIO) allowing I/O voltage from 1.65 V to VCC, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage SoCs. Internal hardware ECC operates transparently during read cycles, correcting single-bit errors without software intervention, while the CFI parameter table enables runtime configuration detection by host firmware.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256P90TFI010 | Same die, 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm); no TSOP option; identical timing and feature set | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where fine-pitch BGA routing is acceptable | Select when board layout favors BGA over TSOP and thermal profile permits reflow-compatible packaging |
| MX29GL256FHT2I-90G | Macronix 256 Mb parallel NOR; 90 ns access, but lacks integrated hardware ECC and OTP array | Requires external ECC handling and software-managed protection; lower cost but higher system integration effort | Choose only if ECC and OTP are not required, and BOM cost reduction outweighs firmware development overhead |
Compared with S29GL256P90TFI010, the TSOP package offers easier prototyping and rework; versus MX29GL256FHT2I-90G, the Infineon part delivers verified ECC and OTP security out-of-box-reducing qualification time for safety-critical systems.

FAQ
Does S29GL256S90GHI010 support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes. The device supports true XIP operation with deterministic 90 ns random access and 15 ns page-mode reads, enabling direct CPU instruction fetch from flash without RAM copy. Its asynchronous interface and fast initial access make it suitable for ARM Cortex-M and Power Architecture-based boot loaders.
What is the function of the STB pin on S29GL256S90GHI010?
The STB (Standby) pin is not present on the S29GL256S90GHI010. This TSOP variant uses CE# for power-down control; standby mode is entered when CE# is deasserted, reducing current to 100 µA. The STB signal appears only on certain BGA variants for enhanced power sequencing control.
Can the OTP array be reprogrammed after locking?
No. Once either of the two 512-byte OTP lock bits is set via the CFI command sequence, that region becomes permanently read-only. The lock is irreversible and survives power cycles, resets, and reprogramming attempts-ensuring cryptographic key or calibration data immutability.
Is hardware reset (RESET#) required during power-up?
Yes. RESET# must be held low for ≥100 ns after VCC reaches 2.7 V to ensure proper internal initialization and avoid undefined command behavior. A dedicated RC reset circuit or supervisor IC is recommended to meet this requirement across temperature and voltage corners.
