Overview

The S25FL256SAGBHIA03 is a 256Mbit (32MB) high-performance CMOS NOR Flash memory device utilizing MirrorBit technology for density and reliability. It features a Quad I/O SPI interface capable of clock frequencies up to 133 MHz, supporting high-speed data throughput and execute-in-place (XiP) functionality.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a high-speed Quad DDR read mode at 80 MHz and a standard clock of 133 MHz, providing excellent bandwidth for read-intensive tasks. Integrated hardware Error Correction Code (ECC) enhances data integrity, while the 20-year data retention and 100k cycle endurance ensure long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Applications

FPGA Configuration
Storing bitstream data for fast FPGA power-up and initialization.
Execute-in-Place (XiP) Code Execution
Directly running firmware from flash memory to reduce the need for large internal RAM on a host microcontroller.
Industrial Data Logging
Recording system telemetry and logs with 100,000 program-erase cycle endurance.
High-Resolution Display Assets
Storage for graphical user interface (GUI) elements like bitmaps and fonts in embedded systems.
