Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90TFI010 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-bit data bus, and industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C). It delivers 90 ns random access time, 15 ns page access time, and integrates hardware ECC for single-bit error correction - used in boot code storage and firmware update storage for embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90TFI010 datasheet, S29GL256S90TFI010 pinout, S29GL256S90TFI010 application, or S29GL256S90TFI010 equivalent, this device supports asynchronous XIP-capable read, sector-erase protection, OTP secure silicon region, CFI-compliant interface, and Versatile I/O (1.65–VCC) for mixed-voltage system integration.
Technical Context
This parallel NOR flash implements an embedded algorithm controller (EAC) that executes program/erase operations autonomously using command sequences. It features 128 kB uniform sectors, suspend/resume capability for both program and erase, and status monitoring via status register, data polling, or RY/BY# pin.
The device uses a 32-byte page-aligned read architecture: initial access fetches a full 32-byte page in 90 ns; subsequent reads within the same page require only 15 ns by toggling low-order address bits. Programming employs a 512-byte write buffer supporting up to 256 words per operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory density | 256 Mb (32 MB), organized as 2,097,152 × 16-bit words - defines maximum firmware image size and boot partition capacity. |
| Random access time (tACC) | 90 ns at VCC = VIO - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in real-time microcontroller applications. |
| Page access time (tPACC) | 15 ns - accelerates sequential instruction fetch within a 32-byte aligned page during burst execution. |
| Write buffer size | 512 bytes (256 words) - reduces effective programming time vs. byte/word-by-word writes in firmware field updates. |
| ECC support | On-die hardware single-bit error correction - eliminates need for external ECC logic in safety-critical boot storage. |
| Endurance & retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles; 20-year data retention - meets long-life requirements for industrial control and automotive ECUs. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade) - qualified for deployment in factory automation and telecom infrastructure equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), standard JEDEC MO-141AC footprint, 14 mm × 20 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch. Compatible with automated PCB assembly and legacy socket-based debug interfaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A22 | Address inputs | 23-bit word address bus (AMAX = A23); supports full 256 Mb addressing with 16-bit data alignment. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; operates at VIO (1.65–VCC) for flexible host interface voltage translation. |
| CE# | Chip enable | Active-low chip select; controls device power state and enables multi-chip memory expansion. |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low read strobe; gates output drivers to prevent bus contention during shared-memory access. |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low control for write/program/erase command latching; synchronizes command execution timing. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy indicator | Open-drain status pin; low during embedded operations (program/erase), high when ready for next command. |
| RESET# | Hardware reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; forces device into known state and aborts ongoing operations. |
| WP# | Write protect | Hardware sector protection enable; prevents accidental program/erase of protected sectors when asserted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Versatile I/O (VIO) | Independent I/O voltage range (1.65 V to VCC) allows interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V hosts without level shifters. |
| Asynchronous page-mode read | 32-byte page alignment enables 15 ns intra-page reads - improves instruction throughput in XIP-based MCU boot loaders. |
| 512-byte programming buffer | Reduces average programming time by >60% vs. single-word writes - critical for fast over-the-air firmware updates. |
| Advanced sector protection (ASP) | Volatile and non-volatile lock bits per 128 kB sector - supports secure bootloader partitioning and field-upgrade isolation. |
| Secure silicon region (OTP) | 1024-byte one-time-programmable array with two lockable regions - stores cryptographic keys or calibration data permanently. |

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 lacks Versatile I/O (fixed VIO = VCC); no 1.65–2.5 V support. | Not suitable for mixed-voltage systems requiring 1.8 V host interface. | Select only if host I/O matches 3.0 V and cost optimization outweighs voltage flexibility. |
| MX29GL256FHI-90G | Macronix equivalent; identical 90 ns tACC, 128 kB sectors, but no OTP array or ASP non-volatile lock mode. | Lacks secure key storage and persistent sector lockdown - insufficient for certified bootloader partitions. | Choose when basic firmware storage suffices and OTP/ECC robustness is not required. |
Compared with S29GL256P90TFI010, this part adds Versatile I/O for broader host compatibility; compared with MX29GL256FHI-90G, it provides OTP and non-volatile ASP for enhanced security - making it uniquely suited for safety-certified and mixed-voltage embedded designs.

FAQ
Is S29GL256S90TFI010 pin-compatible with earlier S29GL256N or S29GL256P variants?
No. S29GL256S90TFI010 uses a 56-pin TSOP package with specific pin assignments for Versatile I/O and RY/BY#, differing from the 56-pin TSOP layout of S29GL256N (no VIO) and S29GL256P (no RY/BY#). Pin mapping must be verified against the Rev. *U datasheet Figure 8-1 and Table 8-1.
Does this device support synchronous read or DDR interface modes?
No. S29GL256S90TFI010 is strictly asynchronous - all read operations use CE#, OE#, and address setup/hold timing per AC specifications. It does not implement clocked or double-data-rate interfaces; timing relies solely on static address valid windows and RY/BY# status signaling.
Can the OTP region be erased or rewritten after programming?
No. The 1024-byte OTP array is physically one-time programmable: once a bit is set to '0', it cannot be reset to '1'. Each of the two lockable regions can be permanently locked via dedicated command sequences, preventing further writes - intended for permanent key or calibration storage.
What is the minimum VIO voltage supported during read operations?
The minimum supported VIO is 1.65 V, as specified in the Versatile I/O feature. At VIO = 1.65 V, the device maintains full functionality including read access, status polling, and command execution - enabling interoperability with 1.8 V logic families while powered from a 3.0 V VCC supply.
