S25FL256SAGMFVR00

Memory IC Overview

The S25FL256SAGMFVR00 is a NOR flash memory IC manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It features a storage capacity of 256 Mbit organized as 32M x 8 bits. The device utilizes an SPI interface with an 8-bit data bus width and supports a maximum clock frequency of 133 MHz. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and is designed for surface mount installation. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports standard SPI communication protocols for data access
• Utilizes MirrorBit Eclipse architecture for non-volatile storage
• Capable of high-speed operations up to 133 MHz clock frequency

Memory IC Applications

• Embedded systems requiring code execution from flash memory
• Industrial control applications needing wide temperature tolerance
• Consumer electronics utilizing NOR flash for firmware storage

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V00' against official Cypress documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications, as suffixes often denote packaging variations rather than functional changes. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SOIC-16 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer certificates before integration into regulated assemblies.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit SPI interface is required instead of Quad I/O options found in the FS series. The 133 MHz speed suits applications needing faster read access than standard SPI devices. The extended industrial temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where automotive or commercial grade parts may fail. Verify that the 3.6 V maximum voltage aligns with system power rails.

Memory IC Part Context

This part belongs to the S25FL256S family of NOR flash memories from Cypress Semiconductor. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the S25FS256 series but differs in interface capabilities, offering standard SPI rather than Quad SPI. The family is known for reliability in embedded storage applications. Note that some family members may have different package options or speed grades.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

The S25FL256SAGMFBG00 is a documented alternative within the same product line, offering identical electrical specifications but potentially differing in packaging or suffix designation. Verify pinout compatibility and software command set equivalence before substitution.
