Overview

The S25FL256SAGMFI013 is a high-performance 256Mbit (32MB) CMOS Flash NOR memory device designed for high-density storage applications. It utilizes the FL-S family architecture to provide fast read speeds via a Quad I/O SPI interface reaching up to 133 MHz. This non-volatile memory is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and operates over a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a high clock frequency of 133 MHz and supports Quad DDR read modes at 80 MHz, delivering high data throughput for performance-critical applications. Its industrial temperature rating of -40C to +85C ensures reliability in harsh environments, while the 16-pin SOIC footprint provides a familiar layout for automated assembly.

Applications

Firmware Storage
Ideal for storing primary boot code and application firmware in complex embedded systems requiring fast XIP (Execute-In-Place) performance.
FPGA Configuration
Used as a reliable bitstream storage device for FPGAs that load configuration data via SPI or Quad-SPI at power-up.
Industrial Data Logging
Provides high-capacity non-volatile storage for operational logs and sensor data in industrial environments.

Getting Started

To interface with this memory, configure your microcontroller SPI peripheral for Mode 0 or Mode 3. Ensure your hardware design includes 0.1uF decoupling capacitors near the VDD pin and pull-up resistors on the WP# and HOLD# pins if they are not actively controlled. Software implementation can leverage standard SPI NOR Flash libraries by utilizing the JEDEC ID for device identification.
