Product details
Overview
S29GL256S90TFI023 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 features hardware ECC for single-bit error correction, 128-kB uniform sector erase, and a 512-byte programming buffer - deployed in automotive instrument clusters and industrial HMI firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the S29GL256S90TFI023 datasheet, S29GL256S90TFI023 pinout, S29GL256S90TFI023 application, or S29GL256S90TFI023 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Versatile I/O support (1.65–VCC), AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification (–40°C to +85°C), 100,000 program/erase cycles, and CFI-compliant interface for bootloader compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements an asynchronous parallel interface with word-aligned addressing (A0–A23), supporting both standard read and 32-byte page-mode reads. Its embedded algorithm controller (EAC) manages autonomous program/erase operations, status monitoring via RY/BY# pin or status register, and suspend/resume capability during active programming or erasing.
The internal architecture integrates a 65 nm MIRRORBIT™ Eclipse cell array with dedicated erase voltage and program voltage generators, plus on-die ECC logic that corrects single-bit errors in real time without host intervention - critical for fail-safe boot code execution in safety-critical systems.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| S29GL256S90TFI020 | Same die, identical specs, but shipped in 64-ball LAE Fortified BGA (9 mm × 9 mm) | Requires PCB redesign for BGA layout; no TSOP footprint compatibility | Select for space-constrained designs where board area is prioritized over socketability or rework ease |
| MX29GL256FHT2I-90G | Macronix part; 90 ns access, same density, but lacks integrated ECC and OTP array | Requires external ECC handling and separate secure storage solution | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs safety certification requirements and ECC overhead is acceptable |
Compared with S29GL256S90TFI020, this TSOP variant offers easier prototyping and thermal management; versus MX29GL256FHT2I-90G, it delivers built-in ECC and OTP security - eliminating host-side error handling and key provisioning complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for S29GL256S90TFI023?
The S29GL256S90TFI023 is rated for Industrial Plus grade: –40°C to +105°C. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's "Temperature range / grade" section and applies to all electrical and timing specifications under specified voltage conditions.
Does this device support hardware reset recovery after power loss during erase?
Yes. The device implements power-loss robust erase suspend/resume functionality. When RESET# is asserted during an erase operation, the internal state machine safely halts and retains sector erase progress, allowing resumption after power restoration without data corruption.
Can the OTP array be programmed multiple times?
No. The 1024-byte OTP array is one-time programmable by design. Each of its two lockable regions can be permanently locked after initial programming, preventing further writes - verified in Section 3.3 and Figure 2-6 of the datasheet.
Is the RY/BY# pin compatible with standard open-drain bus wiring?
Yes. RY/BY# is an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor. It drives low during embedded operations (program/erase) and floats high when idle or ready - matching standard NOR flash timing protocols and enabling wired-OR connection in multi-device systems.
