Infineon Technologies S29PL064J60BFW123

Overview

S29PL064J60BFW123 from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 64-Mbit (4 Mword × 16-bit) 3.0 V-only Page Mode Flash memory with Simultaneous Read/Write capability, FlexBank architecture, and Enhanced VersatileI/O™ supporting 3 V I/O. It features 4 independent banks (A–D), 8-word page size, 20 ns page access time, and operates across 2.7–3.6 V for battery-powered embedded systems requiring nonvolatile code/data storage with in-system reprogrammability.

For engineers reviewing the S29PL064J60BFW123 datasheet, S29PL064J60BFW123 pinout, S29PL064J60BFW123 application, or S29PL064J60BFW123 equivalent, key selection criteria include bank-level concurrent read/write operation, persistent/password sector protection, CFI compliance, 1 million erase/program cycles, and 48-ball Fine-pitch BGA (VBK048) package compatibility.

Technical Context

This device implements a FlexBank architecture with four physically separate banks (A–D), enabling true simultaneous read from one bank while erasing or programming another-eliminating latency between operations. Each bank supports independent command execution, and bank boundaries are fixed per part variant: Bank A = 8 Mbit, Bank B = 24 Mbit, Bank C = 24 Mbit, Bank D = 8 Mbit for S29PL064J.

Enhanced VersatileI/O™ fixes all I/O and control pin voltage tolerance and output swing to the VIO pin level (3 V for this part), decoupling interface signaling from core VCC. Sector protection includes both persistent (PPB-based) and password-secured modes, with up to 128-word Secured Silicon Sector accessible via command sequence.

FAQ

Does S29PL064J60BFW123 support true simultaneous read and write operations?

Yes. The device implements FlexBank architecture with four independent banks (A–D), allowing concurrent read from one bank while erasing or programming another. This zero-latency switching is confirmed in the datasheet's Simultaneous Read/Write Operation section and verified by timing diagrams on pages 65–67.

What is the function of the VIO pin on S29PL064J60BFW123?

The VIO pin sets the voltage reference for all I/O and control pin thresholds and output drive strength. For this part, VIO must be tied to 3 V, defining compatible logic levels and eliminating need for external level shifters in 3 V systems - distinct from core VCC which powers internal charge pumps.

How many sectors can be protected using password sector protection?

Password sector protection applies to any combination of individual sectors or sector groups across the entire 64 Mbit array. The 64-bit user-defined password unlocks protected regions; up to 128 words in the Secured Silicon Sector store password-related metadata, but sector count itself is unrestricted per datasheet Section 13.

Is the Secured Silicon Sector accessible after power-on reset?

No. The Secured Silicon Sector is disabled by default and requires explicit entry via the Enter Secured Silicon Sector command sequence (documented in Section 15.4). Access is gated by command timing and state-machine conditions-not automatically enabled at power-up or reset.
